Énna Mac Murchada
King of Leinster and Dublin
Dynasty Uí Cheinnselaig
Died 1126

Énna Mac Murchada, also known as Énna mac Diarmata, was a twelfth-century ruler of the kingdoms of Leinster and Dublin.

Dublin

In 1118, Toirdelbach Ua Conchobair gained the kingship of Dublin. Rather than control Dublin directly, Ua Conchobair appears to have allowed Énna, then King of Leinster, to rule it as his subordinate.[1] The Annals of Inisfallen reveal that Énna died in 1126.[2] The following year, Toirdelbach installed his own son, Conchobar (died 1144), as King of Dublin.[3]
