# Lóegaire mac Néill

> Lóegaire also Lóeguire, is said to have been a son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. The Irish annals and king lists include him as a King of Tara or High King of Ireland. He appears as an adversary of Saint Patrick in several hagiographies. His dealings with the saint were believed to account for his descendants' lack of importance in later times. There are several accounts of his death, all of which contain supernatural elements, some of which concern his wars against Leinster. His dates are uncertain as the sources are late. the 17th-century Annals of the Four Masters dates his reign to 428–458 AD. Modern historians generally place him in the second half of the fifth century.
