Dal nAraide king of theCruithne in Ulaid (Ulster). He was the son ofFiachra Cossalach (died 710), a previous king. [Mac Niocaill, pg.138] He may have belonged to the Eilne branch of the family (in north County Antrim). He ruled from 749-774.Nothing is recorded of his reign in the annals but his death notice is significant in that it was the last time the title King of the Cruithne was used for the kings of Dal nAraide.
