was the 18th Monarch; reigned 24 years; slew Eochaidh Faobharglas, of the line of Heber, at the battle of Carman. During his reign all the inhabitants of Scotland were brought in subjection to the Irish Monarchy, and the conquest was secured by his son the 20th Monarch. Fiacha at length (B.C. 1448) fell in the battle of Bealgadain, by the hands of Eochaidh Mumho, the son of Moefeibhis, of the race of Heber Fionn.

Fíachu Labhrainne«/b», son of Smirgoll, son of Enboth, son of «u»Tigernmas «/u», was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a «u»High King of Ireland «/u». He came to power by killing the previous incumbent, «u»Eochaid Faebar Glas «/u», in the battle of Carman, in vengeance for his father, who had been killed by Eochaid in the battle of Druimm Liatháin. He was named after the river Labrainn, which burst from the ground during his reign. He fought a sea battle against the descendants of «u»Éber Finn «/u», and fought a battle against the «u»Érainn «/u» at Mag Genainn in «u»County Fermanagh «/u», which resulted in «u»Loch Erne «/u» bursting from the ground. In another battle he killed Eochaid's son Mofebis. Mofebis's son «u»Eochu Mumu «/u» killed him in vengeance in the battle of Sliab Belgatain.«u»[1]«/u» «u»Geoffrey Keating «/u» adds that during his reign, his son «u»Aengus Olmucada «/u» conquered «u»Scotland «/u».«u»[2]«/u» The «u»«i»Lebor Gabála Érenn «/u»«/i» synchronises his reign with those of Piritiades and Ofratalus in «u»Assyria «/u». The chronology of Keating's «i»Foras Feasa ar Éirinn«/i» dates his reign to 1095-1071 BC, that of the «u»«i»Annals of the Four Masters «/u»«/i» to 1473-1449 BC.«u»[3]«/u»
