In Irish mythology, Fiacha (IPA|/ˈfʲiːəxə/, sometimes Fiachu, Fiachra or Fiachna), son of Delbáeth, of the Tuatha Dé Danann, was a legendary High King of Ireland. According to the "Lebor Gabála Érenn", he took the throne after his father was overthrown by Caicher son of Nama, brother of Nechtan."Lebor Gabála Érenn" [http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/lebor4.html#55 §63] ] The "Annals of the Four Masters" and Geoffrey Keating say he overthrew his father himself.
