Crimthann Coscrach
Crimthann Coscrach
("the victorious"), son of Fedlimid Fortrén, son of
Fergus Fortamail
, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a
High King of Ireland
. He took power after killing his predecessor,
Énna Aignech
, and ruled for four or seven years, after which he was killed by
Rudraige mac Sithrigi
. The
Lebor Gabála Érenn
synchronises his reign with that of
Ptolemy VIII Physcon
in
Egypt
(145–116 BC). The chronology of
Geoffrey Keating
's
Foras Feasa ar Éirinn
dates his reign to 191–184 BC, that of the
Annals of the Four Masters
to 293–289 BC.
