About this person

He made so much war that there was a shortage of milk and corn - according to one version, only a sack and a half. He ruled for either twenty-one or twelve years, until he was killed by his cousin Ailill, son of Slánoll. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Deioces of the Medes. The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 833-831 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1209-1197 BC.
