Crimthann mac Fidaig

Ba gharmhac Dáire Cerbba é Criofan de réir go leor foinsí (m.s. Rawlinson B 502), agus sinsear Uí Liatháin agus Uí Fidgenti. Meastar scaití gur luath-dhream na nEóganacht ab ea eisean agus a dheirfiúr, dream a d'éirigh nis deireanaí imeallach nó marbh. Is amhlaidh ámh, gur dhream éagsúil iad a raibh de shliocht Dáire Cerbba, b'fhéidir na Dáirine féin, a tugann dán aduaine Sean-Ghaeilge le Flann mac Lonáin le fios,[5].

Sa Bhanseanchas, tugtar ar Mhongfionn an bua-ainm "na nÉrnai",[6] dream gaolta leis na Dáirine. Sa Leabhar Leasa Mhóir, deirtear gurbh iníon Dáire (Cerbba?) í Mongfionn, ní iníon Fhiadhaigh. Sa leabhar úd, tugtar Findchad Dáire'saor athair Dáire, agus níl Criofan Mór ann ar chor ar bith.[7]

De réir Sanas Cormaic,[8] thóg Criofan dún mór i gCorn na Breataine aitheanta mar Dind Traduí[9][10][11] Is rí-léir go raibh sé i ndáiríre ann,[12] agus tá iarrachtaí déanta ag seandálaithe agus teangeolaithe na Breataine an suíomh a aithint i gCorn nó sa Bhreatain Bheag, mar shampla ag Din Draithou,[13] atá mar a chéile ó thaobh na foghraíochta. Meastar gur Dunster an lae inniu é Din Draithou, nó b'fhéidir dionn na hIarannaoise in aice láimhe, Bat's Castle.[14] D'fhéadfadh go bhfuil sé gaolta le Dind map Letháin, dún coilíneach tógtha ag an gclann Uí Liatháin.

I bpáipear de 1926, pléann Eoin MacNeill go mion gluaiseacht chlann Uí Liatháin, ag áitiú ar son a gceannais ar ghabhála i ndeisceart Éirinn, agus ar son bhunú na ríshleachta, Brycheiniog. Is amhlaidh gurbh é Brychan, sinsear na Brycheiniog, i ndáiríre sinsear Uí Liatháin, Macc Brocc, agus i dteannta sin feictear an t-ainm Braccan i luathghinealaigh Uí Fidgenti agus Uí Dedaid, garmhuintir Uí Liatháin. Lena chois sin, ceanglaíonn MacNeill é seo go léir leis an gceannas in Éirinn agus leis an ngabháil sa Bhreatain dá gcol ceathrar, rí Criofan mac Fiadhaigh.[15]

B'fhéidir gur shliocht den dream stairiúil Attacotti (circa 368) iad Criofan Mór agus clann Uí Liatháin.

Thug a dheirfiúr Mongfionn nimh dó go dtaga a mic i gcoróin. Fuair sí bás féin á dhéanamh, toisc gur ól sí bolgam nimhe chun aon amhras a dearthár a mhaolú. Ar turas i gcúige Mumhan, d'oibrigh an nimh, agus d'éag sé ann.

Tógadh go gasta cairn don rí, a d'fhéadfadh a bheith i dtrí suíomhanna. Is é Gleann na gCros,[16] Droichead Abhann Ó gCearnaigh, Contae an Chláir an chéad shuíomh, aitheanta mar Chnoc Righ Crimthann, agus tá iarsmaí an chairn an fós inniu. Tá an dara suíomh i mBaile Cónan, Míleac,[17] Contae an Chláir. Chreidtí gurbh é Cónan céad ainm an rí. De réir Bhard Thuamhan, Michael Hogan, is é seo an fhíoráit,cé nach bhfaightear iarsmaí chairn ann inniu. Tá an tríú suíomh i nGleann na gCros freisin. Tá ann trí sheandacht in ailíniú thuaidh-theas: gallán, feart fáinneach, agus 'ionad seandálaíochta' mar a dtugtar air.
