Eterscél mac Máele Umai
Eterscél mac Máele Umai (d.
641), a previous king.[2]
There is confusion in the sources between his reign and that of
697; Eterscel is named king of Munster.[4]
According to a genealogical tract, Etarscel had a brother Uisneach who was heir apparent to the Munster throne until slain by his brother through envy and hatred and then Etarscel assumed the kingship of Munster[5]
He abdicated around
742
, although he is only known from the king lists.
