Dub Calgaid mac Laidcnén
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dub Calgaid mac Laidcnén (died 769) was a king of the Uí Cheinnselaig of South Leinster. He was of the Síl Mella sept of this branch of the Laigin. He was the son of Laidcnén mac Con Mella (died 727), a previous king, and brother of Donngal mac Laidcnén (died 761). He ruled from 761-769.
The Uí Cheinnselaig became involved in a period of infighting and in 769 Dub Calgaid was defeated and slain at the Battle of Ferns by his successor Cennselach mac Brain (died 770).[1]
