Indrechtach mac Muiredaig
- Indrechtach mac Muiredaig
Indrechtach mac Muiredaig Muillethan (died 723) [all dates per "The Chronology of the Irish Annals", Daniel P. McCarthy] was a King of Connacht from the Uí Briúin branch of the Connachta. He was the son of Muiredach Muillethan mac Fergusso(d.702), a previous king. [Francis John Byrne, "Irish Kings and High-Kings", Table 20.] He was of the Síl Muiredaig sept of the Uí Briúin.
The king-lists for this period are contradictory but the "Laud Synchronisms" give him a reign of 16 years. The annals mention him as king at his death obit in 723. Only the "Chronicum Scotorum" gives Domnall mac Cathail (died 715) a reign in between Indrechtach mac Muiredaig and Indrechtach mac Dúnchado Muirisci (died 707) and it is possible that Indrechtach mac Muiredaig was king from 707. [Byrne follows this and assigns him a reign from 707-23, pg.248] His reign saw the consolidation of the Ui Briun as the dominant dynasty in Connaught. [Byrne, pg.248] . One event which occurred during his reign was the defeat of the Corco Baiscind, a Thomond tribe, by the Connachta in 721. The annals do not specify what Connachta were victors.
Indrechtach died peacefully as a pilgrim to Clonmacnoise. This monastery favored the Ui Briun expansion. [Byrne, pg. 248] . His known sons were Áed Balb mac Indrechtaig(d.742), a king of Connacht; Muiredach(d.732); Tadg; and Murgal. A daughter of Indrechtach named Medb is said by the "Banshechas" to have married Áed Oirdnide and to have been the mother of Niall Caille
