Crimthann Coscrach«/b» ("the victorious"),«u»[1]«/u» son of Fedlimid Fortrén, son of «u»Fergus Fortamail «/u», was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a «u»High King of Ireland «/u». He took power after killing his predecessor, «u»Énna Aignech «/u», and ruled for four or seven years, after which he was killed by «u»Rudraige mac Sithrigi «/u». The «u»«i»Lebor Gabála Érenn «/u»«/i» synchronises his reign with that of «u»Ptolemy VIII Physcon «/u» in «u»Egypt «/u» (145-116 BC).«u»[2]«/u» The chronology of «u»Geoffrey Keating «/u»'s «i»Foras Feasa ar Éirinn«/i» dates his reign to 191-184 BC,«u»[3]«/u» that of the «u»«i»Annals of the Four Masters «/u»«/i» to 293-289 BC.«u»[4]«/u»
