Eochaid Feidlech

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eochaid Feidlech was High King of Ireland in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. He deposed the former High King, Fachtna Fáthach, at the Battle of Leitir Ruadh.

He had three sons, the three Findemna (who tried and failed to depose him at the Battle of Druim Criaich), and three daughters, Medb (who he made queen of Connacht), Eithne and Clothra.
