Fíatach Finn

Fíatach Finn

Fiatach Finn, a distant descedant of Óengus Tuirmech Temrach, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a king of the Ulaid, later a High King of Ireland, and the eponymous ancestor of the early Medieval Ulster dynasty of the Dál Fiatach. He was king of the Ulaid while Feradach Finnfechtnach was High King, and succeeded to the High Kingship himself when Feradach died. He ruled for three years until he was killed by Fíachu Finnolach. The "Lebor Gabála Érenn" synchronises his reign with that of the Roman emperor Nerva (AD 96-98). [R. A. Stewart Macalister (ed. & trans.), "Lebor Gabála Érenn: The Book of the Taking of Ireland Part V", Irish Texts Society, 1956, p. 307] The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" dates his reign to AD 25-28, [Geoffrey Keating, "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100054/text048.html 1.38] ] that of the "Annals of the Four Masters" to AD 36-39. ["Annals of the Four Masters" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100005A/text025.html M36-39] ]
