Fiachan Of Lismore
Saint Fiachna (or Fiachan, Fiachina, Fianchne; died 630) was an early Irish monk who was venerated as a saint. His feast day is 29 April. Identity The name Fiachna (or Fiachra, Fiacha, Fiachnae, Fiach, Fechín, Feichín) comes from the Old Irish ''fiach'', which means raven. It was given to several legendary and early historical characters.

Fiachnae Mac Demmáin
Fiachnae mac Demmáin (died 627) was King of Ulaid from 626 to 627. He sometimes was called Fiachnae Dubtuinne. He was a member of the Dal Fiatach and nephew of Baetan mac Cairill (died 581) of Ulaid. He was the son of Demmán mac Cairell (died 572). He succeeded his uncle as king of the Dal Fiatach in 581. His first mention in the Irish annals is the battle of Cúl Caíl (possibly Kilkeel, modern County Down) in 601 where he was defeated by Fiachnae mac Baetain of the Dal nAraide. The annals mention Fiachnae mac Baetan went against him so was probably the aggressor. This was part of the struggle of these two rival clans for the overlordship of Ulaid. In 626 was fought the Battle of Leithit Midind at Drung (Knocklayd, modern County Antrim) between these two rivals at which Fiachnae mac Demmáin was the victor and Fiachnae mac Baetan was slain. The annals say the battle was fought by him which implies he was the aggressor. He now becomes King of Ulaid but was himself defeated an ...

Dál Fiatach
Dál Fiatach was a Gaelic Ireland, Gaelic dynastic-grouping and the name of their territory in the north-east of Ireland during the Middle Ages. It was part of the over-kingdom of Ulaid, and they were its main ruling dynasty for most of Ulaid's history. Their territory lay in eastern County Down. Their capital was Dún Lethglaise (Downpatrick) and from the 9th century their main religious site was Bangor Abbey. Description The Dál Fiatach are claimed as being descended from Fiatach Finn, Fiatach Finn mac Dáire, a legendary King of Ulaid and High King of Ireland, and are thought to be related to both the Voluntii and Darini of Ptolemy's ''Geographia (Ptolemy), Geographia''. They are also perhaps more directly related to the pre-historic Dáirine, and the later Corcu Loígde of Munster. Kinship with the Osraige is also supported, and more distantly with the Dál Riata. The Ulaid, of which the Dál Fiatach at times were the ruling dynasty, are further associated with the so-call ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Volume 76 (1978). was a Cruthin kingdom, or possibly a confederation of Cruthin tribes, in north-eastern Ireland during the Middle Ages.
