History
The progenitor of the family was Dermot mac Tadhg Mor, 7th King of Moylurg, who reigned from 1124 to 1159. He was a vassal and kinsman of the Ó Conchubhair, Kings of Connacht; their common ancestor was Tadg mac Cathal, King of Connacht from 925 to 956. They were based at McDermott's Castle, Lough Key.
Later offshoot septs of the dynasty included the families of MacDermot Roe.
Moylurg ceased to exist as a kingdom in the late 16th century, though the senior line of the MacDermot's continued to live a sometime poverty-stricken and precarious existence despite land confiscations and the oppression of the Penal Laws. During this era they were popularly accorded the title Prince of Coolavin;Script error: No such module "Unsubst". the current incumbent is Francis MacDermot,Script error: No such module "Unsubst". who succeeded by birthright to his father Rory MacDermot who died on 6 May 2021.[1]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
