Notes - Airt was called "Aoinfhear" = lit. "one man", or "The Solitary". He was son of Conn of the Hundred Battles. Airt's descendants became known as O'h-airt, anglicized to O'Hart. He had three sisters, one of whom was married to Conaire mac Mogha Laine, the High King who preceded Airt; one of their sons was Cairbre Dal Riata, founder of the Kingdom of Dal Riata in Antrim and southwest Scotland.
Airt was married to Maedhbh Leathdearg ("half red"), daughter of Conann Cualann, who gave her name to the hill, Rath Maedhbhe, near Tara. She should not be confused with the more famous Queen Maebh (Maeve) of Connaught of The Táin Bó Cuailnge saga.
Airt was killed in battle at Galway, fighting against his nephew Maccon.
