About this person
Geoffrey Keating says he ruled for seven years, resisted Airgetmar and made peace with Dui, who killed him treacherously at a meeting, allowing Airgetmar to take the kingship. The Lebor Gabála synchronises his reign with that of Artaxerxes II of Persia (404-358 BC). The chronology of Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 577-570 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 785-778 BC.
