Éogan Mór

In Irish traditional history Eógan (or Eoghan Móra name also used by his grandfather, Mug Nuadat), eldest son of Ailill Ollamh, was a 2nd or 3rd century AD king of Munster. He is credited with founding or at least giving his name to the Eóganachta, a dynasty which ruled as kings of Munster and later princes of Desmond until the late 16th century.[1] The son of Eógan Mór was Fiachu Muillethan.[2] His mother was Sadb ingen Chuinn, daughter of Conn of the Hundred Battles.
