Turlogh Mac-I-Brien-Ara

✓ Turlogh Mac-I-Brien-Ara, of the O'Brien lords of Arra (Ara, north Tipperary); father of Ownye, 2nd wife of Conor 3rd Earl of Thomond (CP VII p.212). NOT identified here with Turlogh Mac-I-Brien-Ara, Bishop of Killaloe, whom MedLands (IRELAND, Desmond) names as father of Amy, Countess of Desmond (wife of James 11th Earl, then of Edmond FitzMaurice, Baron of Kerry): the bishop died c.1525 and Ownye's husband was born c.1534, so she was more likely a grand-daughter of the bishop's generation. His own parents not wired; the Arra pedigree is the next step. Source: Complete Peerage 2nd ed. vol. VII (1929), 'Kerry' p.212 (archive.org djvu text, read 26 Oct 2026).
