Nothing certain is known of Comgall beyond the fact of his death, but he significant as the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eponymous">eponymous founder of the Cenél Comgaill, one of the kindreds of Dál Riata named by the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senchus_fer_n-Alban">Senchus fer n-Alban. The Senchus, in fact, speaks of the Crich Comgaill, but the Annals of Ulster ;use the term cenél in a report of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circa">c. 710.
The Senchus says that Comgall had one son, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conall_mac_Comgaill">Conall, and that Conall had seven sons, although six are named, Loingsech, Nechtan, Artan, Tuatan, Tutio, Coirpre. It may be that Coirpe was a later addition as the Senchus speaks of the people of Coirpre as being distinct from the sons of Erc. As with all claimed early genealogies, this need not be taken as reliable information. Unlike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cen%C3%A9l_nGabr%C3%A1in">Cenél nGabráin and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cen%C3%A9l_Loairn">Cenél Loairn, no later genealogy traces back to the Cenél Comgaill although one from the early 8th century survives appended to a copy of the Senchus.
