Eochaid mac Condlai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eochaid mac Condlai (d.552)[1] was a king of Ulaid from the Dal nAraide. He was the son of Condlae mac Cóelbad, also a king of Dal nAraide and grandson of the high king Cáelbad mac Crond Ba Druí.[2] He was the first king of the Dal nAraide to hold the throne of Ulaid since his grandfather. According to the king lists in the Book of Leinster, he succeeded his uncle Fíachna Lonn mac Cóelbad as king of Dal nAraide. He succeeded Cairell mac Muiredaig Muinderg of the Dal Fiatach as king of Ulaid. He ruled from 532-552.
His son Báetán Cáech was also a king of Dal nAraide and was father of the Ulaid king Fiachnae mac Báetáin (d.628). The annals state that he was ancestor of the Ui Echach of Ulaid. However this term has many uses in Ulaid and the genealogies in Rawlinson do not agree with this.[3] He was ancestor of the main ruling line of the Dal nAraide.
