«/u»«b»Fergus Fortamail«/b» ("strong, prevailing"), son of Bresal Brecc, son of Óengus Gailian, son of Ailill Bracan, son of «u»Labraid Loingsech «/u», was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a «u»High King of Ireland «/u».He took power after killing the previous incumbent, «u»Eochaid Ailtlethan «/u», in battle, and ruled for either eleven, twelve or twelve and a half years, until he was killed by Eochaid's son «u»Óengus Tuirmech Temrach «/u» in battle at «u»Tara «/u». The «u»«i»Lebor Gabála Érenn «/u»«/i» synchronises his reign with that of «u»Ptolemy VI Philometor «/u» in «u»Egypt «/u» (180-145 BC).«u»[1]«/u» The chronology of «u»Geoffrey Keating «/u»'s «i»Foras Feasa ar Éirinn«/i» dates his reign to 274-262 BC,«u»[2]«/u» that of the «u»«i»Annals of the Four Masters «/u»«/i» to 396-385 BC.«u»[3]«/u»
