Déisi, Dési, Déssi, Déise [Ir., vassal or rentpaying tribes]. Historical people of early Ireland, who migrated from Co. Meath to both
Munster and south Wales, especially the south-western territories then occupied by the
Demetae later known as
Dyfed. Their alleged original homeland is commemorated in the barony of Deece, Co. Meath. Their region of settlement in counties Waterford and Tipperary came to be known as
Decies; here they became vassals of the Eóganacht. According to literary tradition, the Déisi of Meath are forced to migrate when they seek vengeance for the rape of a princess by
Cellach, son of
Cormac mac Airt. The Déisi chieftain spears Cellach and puts out Cormac's eye, thus disbarring him from king-ship; he is replaced by another son,
Cairbre. After the Déisi settle in their Munster home,
Eochaid (9) leads them to Wales. St
Declan [Déaglán], founder of
Ardmore, was the principal saint of the Déisi.
