Fland Dá Chongal
Fland Dá Chongal or Flann Ua Congaile (flourished late 7th century) was a king of the Uí Failge, a Laigin people of County Offaly. Fland is not mentioned in the annals of Ireland but appears in king lists and genealogies. The king lists in the ''Book of Leinster'' place his reign before Cillíne mac Forannáin (died 652), however the death obits of his sons would place his reign later. He was most likely a contemporary of Cellach Cualann (died 715), king of Leinster and the predecessor of Forbassach Ua Congaile (died 714). Forbasach ruled for three years according to the ''Book of Leinster'' and Fland for fourteen years which gives a possible reign of 697-711 for Fland. Fland was the great great grandson of a brother of Áed Róin mac Cathail (died 604), a previous king. Fland had twelve children by at least three different wives: * by Érenach, daughter of Murchad Midi (died 715) of Uisnech: Mugrón mac Flainn (died 782), King of Uí Failge; Cináed mac Flainn (died 770), Kin ...

7th-century Irish Monarchs
The 7th century is the period from 601 ( DCI) through 700 ( DCC) in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Common Era. The spread of Islam and the Muslim conquests began with the unification of Arabia by Muhammad starting in 622. After Muhammad's death in 632, Islam expanded beyond the Arabian Peninsula under the Rashidun Caliphate (632–661) and the Umayyad Caliphate (661–750). The Muslim conquest of Persia in the 7th century led to the downfall of the Sasanian Empire. Also conquered during the 7th century were Syria, Palestine, Armenia, Egypt, and North Africa. The Byzantine Empire suffered setbacks during the rapid expansion of the Caliphate, a mass incursion of Slavs in the Balkans which reduced its territorial limits. The decisive victory at the Siege of Constantinople in the 670s led the empire to retain Asia Minor which assured the existence of the empire. In the Iberian Peninsula, the 7th century was known as the ''Siglo de Concilios'' (century of councils) ref ...
