Fíachu Tolgrach

Fíachu Tolgrach

Fíachu Tolgrach, son of Muiredach Bolgrach, was a legendary High King of Ireland, according to some medieval and early modern Irish sources. In the "Lebor Gabála Érenn" he is not a High King: he kills the former High King Art mac Lugdach, but during the reign of Art's son Ailill Finn he is killed in battle against Airgetmar. His son Dui Ladrach later becomes High King. [R. A. Stewart Macalister (ed. & trans.), "Lebor Gabála Érenn: The Book of the Taking of Ireland Part V", Irish Texts Society, 1956, p. 259] However, in Geoffrey Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" [Geoffrey Keating, "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100054/text037.html 1.27] ] and the "Annals of the Four Masters" ["Annals of the Four Masters" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100005A/text014.html M4395] - [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100005A/text015.html 4404] ] he succeeds Art as High King and rules for seven or ten years, until he is killed by Ailill Finn, who succeeds him. The chronology of Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" dates his reign to 593-586 BC, that of the "Annals of the Four Masters" to 806-796 BC.
