Olmucaid«/b» (or «b»Aengus Olmucada«/b»), son of «u»Fíachu Labrainne «/u», was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a «u»High King of Ireland «/u». During the reign of his father, he conquered «u»Scotland «/u». He came to power by killing the incumbent High King, «u»Eochu Mumu «/u», who had killed his father twenty-one years earlier. He fought many battles against the «u»Cruithne «/u», the «u»Fir Bolg «/u», the «u»Fomorians «/u» and other peoples of Ireland, the people of the «u»Orkney «/u» islands, and even the «u»Longobardi«/u». He was killed by «u»Enna Airgdech «/u», son of Eochu Mumu, in the battle of Carman. «u»Geoffrey Keating «/u», who interprets his epithet as meaning "great hogs", dates his reign to 1050-1032 BC, the «u»«i»Annals of the Four Masters «/u»«/i» to 1428-1410 BC..«u»[1][2][3]«/u»
