Lugaid Mac Con Roí
:''See Lugaid for other figures of the same name, and Lug for the god the name derives from.'' In the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, Lugaid mac Con Roí was the son of Cú Roí mac Dáire. He was also known as Lugaid mac Trí Con ("son of three hounds"). He avenged his father's death by killing Cúchulainn after conspiring with Medb and the children of other people Cúchulainn had killed. After Lugaid's spear had spilled out his innards, Cúchulainn tied himself to a standing stone (traditionally said to be Clochafarmore) so he could die standing up. Only when a raven landed on his shoulder was Lugaid convinced he was dead. As Lugaid cut off his head, Cúchulainn's sword fell from his hand and cut off Lugaid's hand. Conall Cernach pursued him. As Lugaid had lost a hand, Conall fought him with one hand tucked into his belt, but he only won when his horse took a bite out of Lugaid's side. He took Lugaid's head and set it on a stone, but his blood melted the stone and the head ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lugaid Mac Con
Lugaid Mac Con, often known simply as Mac Con, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He belonged to the Corcu Loígde, and thus to the Dáirine. His father was Macnia mac Lugdach, and his mother was Sadb ingen Chuinn, daughter of the former High King Conn Cétchathach. Mac Con may be to some extent identical with another legendary King of Tara from the Dáirine, Lugaid Loígde. After Macnia died, Sadb married Ailill Aulom, king of Munster and ''de facto'' king of the southern half of Ireland, and Lugaid became his foster-son. He is said to have gained his patronymic/epithet ("dog's son") after he was suckled as a child by a greyhound called Eloir Derg, which belonged to his foster-father. Lugaid and his stepbrothers, against Ailill's will, were allies of Nemed, son of Sroibcenn, king of the Érainn of Munster, who had killed the former High King Conaire Cóem in the battle of Gruitine.

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-Edwards, ...

He helped Dui Ladrach overthrow Airgetmar, and later killed Dui to take the kingship himself. He ruled for seven years, until he was killed by Airgetmar's grandson Áed Rúad.
