Bhí siad in Ulaidh ar dtús ach bhog siad ó dheas i 1420 le bheith i seirbhís Iarla Dheasmhumhan i Luimneach agus d'fhan ann. Maidir leis an mbrí: féach Ó Síodhacháin -dream míleata a b'ea na Síthigh agus is ar éigin a oireann "síochánta" dóibh. Ar nós a lán, chruthaigh siad go maith mar shaighdiúirí ar an Mór-Roinn sa 18 céad. SGG & IF. |
