Rudraige Mac Dela
Rudraige (modern spelling: Ruadhraighe), son of Dela, of the Fir Bolg was the legendary second High King of Ireland, succeeding his brother Sláine. When the Fir Bolg invaded Ireland the five sons of Dela divided the island amongst themselves. Rudraige landed at ''Tracht Rudraige'' ( Dundrum Bay, County Down) and took Ulster. He and his brother Genann led the portion of the Fir Bolg known as the Fir Domnann, a historical people who were possibly related to the Dumnonii known from Britain and Gaul. His wife was Liber.

Time frame The '' Lebor Gabála'' synchronises the start of his reign with that of Ptolemy VIII Physcon (145–116 BC), and his death with that of Ptolemy X Alexander I (110–88 BC) in Egypt. The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's ''Foras Feasa ar Éirinn'' dates his reign to 184–154 BC, that of the ''Annals of the Four Masters'' to 289–219 BC. The poem "Druim Cet céide na naomh" states the convention of Druim Cet (held c.590 AD) was 700 years after the reign of Rudraige, which would imply a floruit of c.110 BC.
