Biography

Eochaid "Echu" Mugmedon ( Eochy Moyvone) (Eochaidh Muig Meadhoin) was a king of Ireland; listed as the 124th monarch of Ireland in John O'Hart's Roll of the Monarchs of Ireland [1]

His first wife was Mong Finn, daughter of Fidach.
they had three sons - "the Connachta"
Brian (Brion)
Fiachra (Fiachrae)
Oilill (Ailill )
Feargus Caech (may be a legendary insertion) noted by O'Grady. [2]

Niall of the Nine Hostages was his son with second wife Cairenn. [3]

After ruling for seven or eight years, Eochaid died of an illness at Tara, and was succeeded by Mongfind's brother Crimthann mac Fidaig, king of Munster.

Keating dates his reign to 344–351; the Annals of the Four Masters to 357–365; Daniel P. McCarthy, based on the Irish annals, dates his death to 362. [3]

Mugmedón-7 and UNKNOWN-10389 appear to represent the same person because: merge needed following parallel upload - same son, same granddaughter

Mother was too old at his birth (64 y). At least one source dates his reign as early as 344-351, so he may have been born earlier.

Correct LNAB, bad reverse mere on my part.

LNAB should be Mugmedón, should not be Cenel N Eogain - that was the kingdom name. Names were still patronymic or absent at this time frame!

Mugmedon-1 and Cenel n Eogain-10 appear to represent the same person because: My dates are purely speculative, do the merge and take yours, I will have to straighten mine out, I have cut off the profiles down below, same name, same location, same children
