Move request edit
I'd like to move this page to Aoife MacMurrough as it is by far the most common name for the subject ("Eva ...", obviously would still redirect.) --sony-youthpléigh 13:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Agree. I've never seen her name translated to English. She is always referred to as Aoife213.94.229.173 (talk) 11:57, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
- No, Eva of Leinster gets a lot of links on google as well. Anyway, she would have been Aoife ni Murchada (or ni Diarmaita Mac Murchada), if anyone can be sure of the spelling.Red Hurley (talk) 19:29, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Brehon laws edit
The discussion of Brehon laws in this article sounds more than a bit mixed-up. For instance, it implies that marriage gave women life interest on their land; in reality it was a lack of male heirs that gave women (including Aoife) a life interest. 166.248.65.76 (talk) 19:39, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- Then again, as Leinster / Laigin was a dowry given with Eva to Strongbow, as was normal then, her supposed "life interest" is a false argument put up to be controversial. She can't have had a life interest as she had a living brother; dowries were well understood.78.19.205.160 (talk) 20:37, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
