Adamair

Adamair

Adamair (Adammair, Adhamair, Amadir), son of Fer Corb, was, according to medieval Irish legends and historical traditions, a High King of Ireland. He came from Munster, killed the previous incumbent, Ailill Caisfhiaclach, and reigned for five years, until he was killed by Eochaid Ailtleathan. The "Lebor Gabála Érenn" synchronises his reign with that of Ptolemy V Epiphanes in Egypt (204-181 BC). [R. A. Stewart Macalister (ed. & trans.), "Lebor Gabála Érenn: The Book of the Taking of Ireland Part V", Irish Texts Society, 1956, p. 283] The chronology of the "Annals of the Four Masters" dates his reign to 418-414 BC, ["Annals of the Four Masters" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100005A/text020.html M4782-4787] ] the chronology of Geoffrey Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" to 290-285 BC. [Geoffrey Keating, "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100054/text040.html 1.30] ] He was the husband of the presumed goddess Flidais of the Tuatha Dé Danann. [Whitley Stokes (ed. & trans.), "Cóir Anmann", "Irische Texte" series 3 vol. 2, 1897, p. 295]
