Slany, da. of Connor O'Brien, prince of Thomond' (citing Lodge). Her husband occurs 1295-1332 and her sons were active 1325-1378, so she was born c.1260-75; the only Conchobhar who ruled Thomond in that span is Conchobhar na Siudaine, King of Thomond 1242-1268 (I99646), already in the tree with the whole Dal gCais line to Brian Boru. Wired to him as ~ probable: the identification rests on the pedigree's 'Connor ... Prince of Thomond' plus elimination, not on an annal entry naming her. Mother not asserted (his recorded wife Mor MacNamara, I99647, is the only one in the tree - Slany is placed in that family for want of another, mother-grade ~).
