Lugaid Íardonn, son of Énna Derg, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland.
His epithet, Old Irish for "dark brown",[1] came from the colour of his hair.
[2] He succeeded his father, who had died of plague, to the throne, and ruled for nine years before he was killed at Ráth Clochair by Sírlám, son of Finn mac Blatha.
The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Artaxerxes I of Persia (465–424 BC).
