Biography

He came to power after he killed his predecessor, and his father's killer, Fer Corb, and ruled for four (or twenty) years, until he died in Tara, and was succeeded by his son Ailill Caisfiaclach. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Ptolemy IV Philopator of Egypt (221–205 BC).[1] The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 319–315 BC,[2] the Annals of the Four Masters to 463–443 BC.[3]
