Bres Rí

Bres Rí

Bres Rí (Bres the King), son of Art Imlech, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland, who took power after killing his predecessor, and his father's killer, Nuadu Finn Fáil. He ruled for nine years, and fought many battles against the Fomorians, before he was killed at Carn Conluain by Eochu Apthach. The "Lebor Gabála Érenn" synchronises his reign with those of Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon (605-562), Cambyses II of Persia (died 522 BC), and Cyaxares of the Medes (625-585). [R. A. Stewart Macalister (ed. & trans.), "Lebor Gabála Érenn: The Book of the Taking of Ireland Part V", Irish Texts Society, 1956, p. 247-249] The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" dates his reign to 735-726 BC, [Geoffrey Keating, "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100054/text036.html 1.26] ] that of the "Annals of the Four Masters" to 962-953 BC.
