Biography

A great grandson of Gadhra Mór mac Dundach, grandson of Madudan mac Gadhra Mór, and son of Diarmaid mac Madudan, Madudan Reamhar was the first bearer of the surname Madden, a family originally from east County Galway.


He died of a pestilence which caused a great mortality of the men of Ireland in 1095. Following his death, Gillafin Mac Coulahan became ruler but was killed in 1101 by Madudan's son, Diarmaid Ua Madadhan.

His nickname reamhar[citation needed] meant large or fat.
