Fráech mac Finchada

Fráech mac Finchada or Fróech mac Findchado (died 495) was a king of Leinster. Fráech was a member of the Dál Messin Corb dynasty's principal sub-sept, the Uí Garrchon. He succeeded his father, Fincath mac Garrchu, (died 485). [Francis J.Byrne, "Irish Kings and High-Kings", Table 8] He ruled from 485-495. [ The "Book of Leinster" gives him a reign of 11 years]

The annals record a defeat of the Leinstermen at the Battle of Taillten in 494 by Coirpre mac Néill. ["Annals of Ulster" AU 494.1; "Annals of Tigernach" AT 494.1] This is associated with the Ui Neill conquest of Brega and the taking of Tailtiu. [T.M. Charles-Edwards, "Early Christian Ireland", pg.448-449] In 495 Fráech was defeated and slain by Eochu mac Coirpri at the second Battle of Grainaret (Granard, County Longford) in Tethba. ["Annals of Ulster" AU 493.3, 495.1; "Annals of Tigernach" AT 495.1]
