Bodbchad

Bodbchad

Badbchaid, son of Eochu Buadach, son of Dui Ladrach, was, according to late sources, briefly a High King of Ireland. The "Lebor Gabála Érenn" says Bodbchad murdered his brother, the High King Úgaine Mór, who was succeeded directly by his son Lóegaire Lorc. [R. A. Stewart Macalister (ed. & trans.), "Lebor Gabála Érenn: The Book of the Taking of Ireland Part V", Irish Texts Society, 1956, p. 267-275] However, Geoffrey Keating [Geoffrey Keating, "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100054/text038.html 1.28] ] and the "Annals of the Four Masters" ["Annals of the Four Masters" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100005A/text018.html M4606] ] agree that, after killing Úgaine, Bodbchad took the throne for a day and a half, after which Lóegaire killed him. The "Lebor Gabála" synchronises Úgaine's reign to that of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (281-246 BC). The chronology of Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" dates Bodbchad's reign to 411 BC, that of the "Annals of the Four Masters" to 594 BC.
