Muiredach Muinderg mac Forggo (died 489) was a king of Ulaid from the Dal Fiatach. He was the son of Forgg mac Dalláin.〔Byrne, Table 6; Charles-Edwards, Appendix XXI; Mac Niocaill, pg.74〕 His sobriquet means ''red-necked''. His death date is given in the ''Annals of Tigernach'' in 489〔''Annals of Tigernach'', AT 489.3〕 The ''Book of Leinster'' gives him a reign of 24 years giving a possible reign of 465-489. Nothing is recorded of him in the annals other than his death date. In the period following the destruction of Emain Macha after 450, Ulidia underwent a recuperation in which the Dal Fiatach emerge as the overlords and Muiredach as the first historical king.〔Mac Niocaill, pg.73〕 According to the Dal Fiatach genealogies, he received the blessing of Saint Patrick.〔Ó Cróinín, pg.219〕 The early seat of power of this dynasty appears to have been in County Louth at Óchtar Cuillche (Colland) at Collon, south of Ardee, County Louth and his descendants are said to have split up their inheritance here in the early 6th century.〔 Five sons of Muiredach are mentioned including Eochaid mac Muiredaig Muinderg (died 509) and Cairell mac Muiredaig Muinderg (died 532), both kings of Ulaid. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muiredach Muinderg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
