states as being "168 cows" Along with the privileges that kings and queens of Uí Maine received, the clans that fought for Uí Maine were also given privileges and rights: Any member of a clan was given a choice to go to battle in spring or autumn. Most members that chose not to attend battle spent time maintaining their crops. It was required that "no man of the province is to be taken as a witness against these tribes, but another Hy Manian is to bear witness". If the king of Connacht did not pull out or end a battle in six weeks or less when fighting in Ulster or Leinster, any member was allowed to return home. "However great may be the accusation brought against them by dishonest people, only one man or one witness is required to dent it or prove it against the other party." Uí Mhaine were to be baptised by the Comharba of St. Bridget. If parents chose not to baptise their children at St. Bridget's because they lived too far away they were required to pay the Comharba a penny. Uí Mhaine were required to pay a to the Comharba to prepare for death during an illness. This fee was said to be 3 Irish pennies.

Their original homeland was Oirghialla. DNA testing of descendants of Uilliam Buidhe Ó Cellaigh, however, speculates that the Uí Maine were not descended from the Three Collas.
