Lugaid Luaigne
Lugaid Luaigne, son of
Egypt.[1] The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 140–135 BC,[2] that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 199–184 BC.[3]
Although presented as an ancestor of the Eóganachta in later medieval genealogies, Lugaid is regarded by T. F. O'Rahilly as one of several late emanations of Lugaid Loígde,[4] ancestor of the Corcu Loígde.
