O Sullivan or O Sullevan or O Sowlevan - Irish / Ua Suileabhain - suil / eye. A Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Sept / Family branch (Descended initially from *95.Fingin mac Aeda the Chaisil 9th King of Cashel / Munster who died in 619 AD. They were the Chiefs in the south of Co. Tipperary in Ormond / Aur Mhumhain in the north - east of the Munster Province and were later on to be Princes and Kings further south in Co. Cork in Desmond / Des Mhumhain / Southern Munster. They were close kinsmen to the Mac Carthys, O Donoghues, O Callaghans, O Keeffes, etc. and their territory was originally in the south of Co. Tipperary until they were driven further to the south - west to Co. Cork by the continuing onslaught of the Anglo - Norman English after that particular Invasion. There they split into two further Eoghanachta Septs who were later to be known as "The O Sullivan Mor” who eventually settled around Kenmare Bay in Co. Kerry, and "The O Sullivan Beare” who were at Bantry on the Beara Peninsula in Co. Cork. In 1253 AD another Sept was also created from their devotion to their kinsman, Allen O Sullivan the Bishop of Cloyne in Co. Kerry in the south - west of Munster, who died at Lismore, because he was so dedicated to St. Mochuda / St. Cuddy who was his kinsmen, they decided to take up the name of Mac Gillicuddy / Mheic Giolla Mocuda (Descended from a son of the servant of St. Cuddy) In 1596 AD the Dunn Keron Castle was built by "The O Sullivan Mor” at Neidin (Little Nest) at Kenmare in Co. Kerry and their Cappa na Crushy Castle ruin is also still to be seen nearby. The Pass of the Deer in Killarney was where the O Sullivans and the O Learys held sway against the ever - encroaching English oppression. As the continuing "Confiscations" of the Munster Families' territories occurred the English eventually handed over some of their territories to the sub - Chiefs of the Families who played the game to suite and became non - Catholic to hold on to them. The rest of the main Heberian Eoghanachta Families who continued the "resistance" were either killed, driven out, or forced into exile, such as Donnell "Cam" O Sullivan of Beare. The most important aristocratic Heberian Eoghanacht Families in Munster were to be descended eventually from *89.Conall “Corc” the Heberian Chaisil 1st King of Cashel / Munster in the 4^th Century AD and it was from his time on that their other kinsmen, the Dal gCais of Thomond / Tuaisceart Mhumhain / Northern Munster, who had also secured territory in Co. Clare over the western side of the River Shannon began to lose their knowledge of their right to share the Kingship of Munster with the Eoghanachta. Ancestors: *95.Fingin mac Aeda the Eoghanacht Chaisil 9th King of Cashel / Munster, *94.Aed "Dub," *93.Criffan / Crimthann, *92.Felim / Fedelmid the 4a King of Cashel / Munster, *91.Angus / Oengus mac Nad Froich the 3rd King of Cashel / Munster,*90.Nad "Froich" the 2nd King of Cashel / Munster, *89.Conall "Corc" the 1st King of Cashel / Munster (Chaisil), *88.Lewy / Luigthech, *87.Ailill "Fland Bec," *86.Fiachu "Mullethan" the King of Southern Munster and 3rd King of Munster, *85.Eoghan “Mor” (Eoghanachta), *84.Ailill “Olomm” the Heberian 1st King of Munster, *83.Mogha “Nuadat” the King of Southern Ireland (Mogha’s Half / Leath Mogha) in 137 AD, *37.Heber "Fionn" (Heberians).
