Flaithnia mac Flainn

Flaithnia mac Flainn

Flaithnia mac Flainn (died 755) was a king of the Uí Failge, a Laigin people of County Offaly. He was one of the many sons of Fland Dá Chongal, a previous king. [Mac Niocaill, pg.127] He ruled from 741-755. [in the "Book of Leinster" king list he is only given a reign of 3 years.]

His predecessor and half-brother Ailill Corrach mac Flainn was killed in 741 but the circumstances are not given. ["Annals of Ulster", AU 741.9] Nothing is recorded of Flaithnia in the annals other than his death obit. [AU 755.5; "Annals of Tigernach", AT 755.6]

His son Domnall mac Flaíthnia (died 783) was a king of the Uí Failge.
