Fíachna Lonn mac Cóelbad

Fíachna Lonn mac Cóelbad ("the fierce") (flourished 482) was a Dal nAraide king in modern County Antrim, Ulster. He was the son of Cáelbad mac Cruind Ba Druí , a high king of Ireland and King of Ulster and brother of the previous Dal nAraide kings Sárán mac Cóelbad and Condlae mac Cóelbad. [Mac Niocaill, pg.87]

He is listed in king lists as successor to his brothers. In some annals he is mentioned as a participant in the Battle of Ochae (Faughan Hill, near Kells) in 482 which overthrew the high king Ailill Molt of Connacht. [Mac Niocaill, pg.17] The "Annals of Ulster" call him the son of the King of Dal nAraide. ["Annals of Ulster", AU 483.2] While other later annals such as the "Chronicum Scotorum" call him King of Dal nAraide. ["Chronicum Scotorum", CS 482]

The descendants of his brother Condlae were to provide the ruling line the Uí Chóelbad of Dal nAraide.
