Mug Nuadat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
«/b»In Irish mythological history «b»Mug Nuadat«/b» (slave of «u»Nuada «/u») was a legendary, supposed «u»King of Munster «/u» in the 2nd century A.D. He was, according to later medieval tradition, a rival of the «u»High King «/u», «u»Conn of the Hundred Battles «/u» and for a time after the year 123 was the «i»de facto«/i» ruler of the southern half of Ireland. Everything south of a line drawn between «u»Galway Bay «/u» and «u»Dublin «/u» was known as «i»Leth Moga«/i» ("Mug's half"), and everything north of that line was «u»Leth Cuinn' «/u»' (Modern Irish: Leath Cuinnn)("Conn's half").
Conn later invaded Leth Moga and drove Mug from Ireland. He took refuge in «u»Spain «/u» and returned with an army, but was defeated and killed by Conn at Mag Léna («u»Kilbride «/u», «u»County Offaly «/u») (although in some versions Conn treacherously killed Mug in his bed).
His son was «u»Ailill Ollamh «/u». His grandson, also named «u»Éogan Mór «/u», fought alongside Conn's son «u»Art «/u» at the «u»Battle of Maigh Mucruimhe «/u» and is credited with founding the «u»Eóganachta «/u» dynasty.
«u»T.F. O'Rahilly «/u» speculated that Mug Nuadat may in fact have been the God Nuada rather than an actual historicial person.«u»[1]«/u». Equally it could be that Éogan Mór was the earthly representation of the God.
