Cellach was the son of Máel Coba mac Áedo and belonged to Cenél Conaill, branch of the Uí Néill of the north. According to Irish annals that derive from the Chronicle of Ireland, he would have been supreme king with his brother Conall Cáel after the death of his cousin Domnall mac Áedo in 642. Conall Cáel was killed in 654 by Diarmait, son of Áed Sláine, while Cellach died in 658 maybe Bru na Bóinne.
