About this person

He ruled for nine years, and fought many battles against the Fomorians, before he was killed at Carn Conluain by Eochu Apthach. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with those of Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon (605-562), Cambyses II of Persia, and Cyaxares of the Medes (625-585). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 735-726 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 962-953 BC.
