Bodbchad

Irish sovereign · Ireland · On the map · Historical Figures

Badbchaid, son of Eochu Buadach, son of Dui Ladrach, was, according to late sources, briefly a High King of Ireland. The Lebor Gabála Érenn says Bodbchad murdered his brother, the High King Úgaine Mór, who was succeeded directly by his son Lóegaire Lorc.

Bodbchad is read about 1 times a day, in 7 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 23 August 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.

About this person

However, Geoffrey Keating and the Annals of the Four Masters agree that, after killing Úgaine, Bodbchad took the throne for a day and a half, after which Lóegaire killed him. The Lebor Gabála synchronises Úgaine's reign to that of Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The chronology of Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates Bodbchad's reign to 411 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 594 BC.
