Conall Gulban, son of Niall Noígiallach, was an Irish king founded the kingdom of Tír Chonaill in modern County Donegal in the 5th century. He was the ancestor of Saint Colum Cille. The last known kings of Tír Chonnaill (County Donegal) were the Uí Niell. The Peninsula of Inishowen in Donegal was fought for by the Dochartaigh (known modernly as Doherty, Daugherty, Docherty, Dougherty, etc.) clan who were then given the titles as Princes of Donegal.
The most powerful of his descendants were the Dunkeld Royal house of the Kings of Scotland (11th-13th C.), and the O'Donnell clan, Kings of Tirconnel (Conal's land) and Inishowen and Overlords of Connaught as well as many less powerful noble houses of Scotland, Ireland and England. Among his famous descendents were the Washingtons of northern England including one named George.
King Conall Gulban was murdered by the Masraighe in 464 A.D. at Magh Slécht.
