    Note: Úgaine Mór, son of Eochu Buadach, son of Dui Ladrach, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, the 66th High King of Ireland. Biography He was the foster-son of Cimbáeth and Macha Mong Ruad and he took power by killing his predecessor (and his foster-mother's killer) Rechtaid Rígderg. The "Lebor Gabála Érenn" says that, as well as Ireland, he ruled "Alba to the Sea of Wight" – i.e. the whole of the island of Britain – and that "some say" he ruled all of Europe. He married Cessair Chrothach, daughter of the king of the Gauls, who bore him twenty-two sons and three daughters. He is said to have divided Ireland into 25 shares, one for each of his children. For example, his son Lóegaire Lorc ruled Life and Cobthach Cóel Breg ruled Bregia. His daughter Muirisc ruled Mag Muirisce, from which Murrisk is said to have taken its name. This partitioning of the island stood for 300 years, until the establishment of the provinces under Eochu Feidlech. The reign of Úgaine Mór was 30 or 40 years, until he was killed by his brother Bodbchad. According to the "Lebor Gabála," he was succeeded directly by his son Lóegaire Lorc, although the "Annals of the Four Masters" and Geoffrey Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" say Bodbchad was king for a day and a half until Lóegaire killed him. Cobthach Cóel Breg succeeded his brother Loegaire. Time Frame The "Lebor Gabála" synchronizes Úgaine Mór's reign to that of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (281–246 BCE). Roderick O’Flaherty in Ogygia (1685) has his reign begin "the year in which Alexander conquered Darius" and last 30 years (331-301 BCE). The chronology of Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" dates his reign to 441–411 BCE and the "Annals of the Four Masters" to 634–594 BCE. Issue The following is a list of children that Úgaine Mór fathered, along with the land he passed unto them. It is said he had 22 sons and three daughters. "Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland," by John O'Donovan, lists 25 children (22 sons and three daughters), but does not list another apparent child of Úgaine Mór, a daughter called "Lathar" (not to be confused with Latharn). 1.
