Eochaid Mac Óengusa
Eochaid mac Óengusa (died 522) was a King of Munster from the ruling Eoganachta dynasty. He was the son of Óengus mac Nad Froích (died 489), the first Christian king of Munster. The chronology of the 6th century Munster kings is confusing in the sources. According to the ''Laud Synchronisms'', he succeeded his father as king and was a contemporary of the high king Lugaid mac Lóegairi which would place the start of his reign before 507. However, in the ''Book of Leinster'', he succeeded his brother Feidlimid mac Óengusa. He had two sons born on the same night: Crimthann Srem (Feimin), ancestor of the Glendamnach sept (Glanworth, County Cork) of Eoganachta and another Crimthann by a woman named Dearcon (possibly of the Arada Cliach), ancestor of the Arithir Cliach sept (Tipperary town area) of Eoganachta. it is possible that the creation of two separate Crimthanns was an invention of the genealogists.Byrne, pg.219 He was succeeded by his son Crimthann Srem mac Echado. ...

King Of Munster
The kings of Munster ( ga, Rí Mumhan), ruled from the establishment of Munster during the Irish Iron Age, until the High Middle Ages. According to Gaelic traditional history, laid out in works such as the '' Book of Invasions'', the earliest king of Munster was Bodb Derg of the Tuatha Dé Danann. From the Gaelic peoples, an Érainn kindred known as the Dáirine (also known as Corcu Loígde and represented today in seniority by the Ó hEidirsceoil), provided several early monarchs including Cú Roí. In a process in the ''Cath Maige Mucrama'', the Érainn would lose out in the 2nd century AD to the Deirgtine, ancestors of the Eóganachta. Munster during this period was classified as part of '' Leath Moga'', or the southern-half, while other parts of Ireland were ruled mostly by the Connachta. After losing Osraige to the east, Cashel was established as the capital of Munster by the Eóganachta. This kindred ruled without interruption until the 10th century. Although the Hi ...

Óengus Mac Nad Froích
Óengus mac Nad Froích (430-489) was an Eoganachta and the first Christian King of Munster. He was the son of Nad Froich mac Cuirc by Faochan, a British lady (called daughter of the King of Britain). In Geoffrey Keating's ''History of Ireland'' Oengus is given a reign of 36 years which would place the start of his reign as early as 453. Biography He was baptized a Christian in the royal seat of Cashel by Saint Patrick himself and imposed a baptismal tax on the Christian converts of Munster for St. Patrick. It is mentioned that half of his numerous progeny were given into the church. St Patrick baptized him in blood by driving his crozier through the king's foot. The king became very devout and surrounded himself with clerics. In 489 the battle of Cenn Losnada in Mag Fea was fought in which he was slain. His wife Eithni Uathach ingen Cremthainn, called "the hateful", was also killed. She was a member of the Uí Cheinnselaig sept of the Laigin. The victors included Iollann mac ...

Lugaid Mac Lóegairi
Lugaid mac Lóegairi (died ) was a High King of Ireland. He was a grandson of Niall of the Nine Hostages. One of the supposed twelve sons of Lóegaire mac Néill, his mother was Angias, a daughter of (Ailill) Tassach of the Uí Liatháin. Compared to his father, who features prominently in hagiographies of Saint Patrick, Lugaid is a lesser figure. Before he was born Patrick is said by the late ''Vita tripartita Sancti Patricii'' to have cursed Lóegaire's descendants so that they would never enjoy the kingship. His mother, who is said to have been pregnant with Lugaid at the time, beseeched Patrick to lift the curse from her unborn son. This he did, supposedly saying: "Until he opposes me, I will not curse him." According to the earliest king list, that in the ''Baile Chuind Chétchathaig'', compiled in the reign of Fínsnechta Fledach (died ''c.'' 695), Lugaid was king after Ailill Molt.Byrne, pp. 276–277; Charles-Edwards, p. 484, table 12.1; Irwin.Irwin; Charles-Edwa ...

Feidlimid Mac Óengusa
Feidlimid mac Óengusa (455-500), or Feidlimid Dub, was an Eoganachta King of Munster in the early 6th century. He was the son of Óengus mac Nad Froích, the first Christian king of Munster. The chronology of the 6th-century kings of Munster in the sources is confusing and Feidlimid is only known from king lists. Not mentioned as king in the ''Laud Synchronisms'' or the Irish annals; he is however mentioned in the ''Book of Leinster'' as successor to his father and predecessor of his brother Eochaid mac Óengusa. This puts his reign around the year 500. However, in the saga '' Senchas Fagbála Caisil'' ("The Story of the Finding of Cashel"), he is listed after his brother which would put his reign around 525. the ''Laud Synchronisms'' were written in the interest of the Glendamnach branch and this may explain the exclusion of Feidlimid from it. He was the ancestor of the Eóganacht Chaisil branch of the family with lands around Cashel in County Tipperary. His son's name was Crimt ...

The ''Annals of Tigernach'' record him succeeding his father and becoming king of Munster in 522. According to the ''Laud Synchronisms'', he ruled for twenty years, which places his death at 542. The record of 6th-century kings in Munster is obscure and the ''Laud Synchronisms'' may have been written to favour his dynasty.

Eóganachta
The Eóganachta or Eoghanachta () were an Irish dynasty centred on Cashel which dominated southern Ireland (namely the Kingdom of Munster) from the 6/7th to the 10th centuries, and following that, in a restricted form, the Kingdom of Desmond, and its offshoot Carbery, to the late 16th century. By tradition the dynasty was founded by Conall Corc but named after his ancestor Éogan, the firstborn son of the semi-mythological 3rd-century king Ailill Aulom. This dynastic clan-name, for it was never in any sense a 'surname,' should more accurately be restricted to those branches of the royal house which descended from Conall Corc, who established Cashel as his royal seat in the late 5th century. High Kingship issue Although the Eóganachta were powerful in Munster, they never provided Ireland with a High King. Serious challenges to the Uí Néill were however presented by Cathal mac Finguine and Feidlimid mac Cremthanin. They were not widely recognized as High Kings or Kings of ...

5th-century Births
The 5th century is the time period from 401 ( CDI) through 500 ( D) ''Anno Domini'' (AD) or Common Era (CE) in the Julian calendar. The 5th century is noted for being a period of migration and political instability throughout Eurasia. It saw the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, which came to an end in 476 AD. This empire had been ruled by a succession of weak emperors, with the real political might being increasingly concentrated among military leaders. Internal instability allowed a Visigoth army to reach and ransack Rome in 410. Some recovery took place during the following decades, but the Western Empire received another serious blow when a second foreign group, the Vandals, occupied Carthage, capital of an extremely important province in Africa. Attempts to retake the province were interrupted by the invasion of the Huns under Attila. After Attila's defeat, both Eastern and Western empires joined forces for a final assault on Vandal North Africa, but this campaign wa ...
