Indrechtach mac Dúnchado

Indrechtach mac Dúnchado

Indrechtach mac Dúnchado Muirisci(d.707) [all dates per "The Chronology of the Irish Annals", Daniel P. McCarthy] was a King of Connacht from the Ui Fiachrach Muaidhe branch of the Connachta. He was the son of a previous king Dúnchad Muirisci mac Tipraite(d.683). [Francis J.Byrne, "Irish Kings and High-Kings", Table 18] He reigned from 705-707.

His predecessor Cellach mac Rogallaig(d.705) had defeated an attempt by the northern Ui Neill to assert their supremacy at the Battle of Corann in 703. In revenge the northern Ui Neill under Fergal mac Máele Dúin of the Cenél nEógain; Fergal mac Loingsig of the Cenél Conaill; and Conall Menn of the Cenél Coirpri defeated and slew Indrechtach in 707. The "Annals of Tigernach" refer to Indrechtach as "king of the Three Connachta" which indicated the beginnings of a true provincial over-kingship in hostility to Ui Neill pretensions. [Byrne, pg.248]

Indrechtach's son Ailill Medraige mac Indrechtaig(d.764) was also a King of Connaught.
