Muiredach Muinderg

Muiredach Muinderg mac Forggo (died 489) was a king of Ulaid from the Dál Fiatach.

In the period following the destruction of Emain Macha after 450, Ulidia underwent a recuperation in which the Dal Fiatach emerge as the overlords and Muiredach as the first historical king.

[3] According to the Dal Fiatach genealogies, he received the blessing of Saint Patrick.

[4] The early seat of power of this dynasty appears to have been in County Louth at Óchtar Cuillche (Colland) at Collon, south of Ardee, County Louth and his descendants are said to have split up their inheritance here in the early 6th century.

[4] Five sons of Muiredach are mentioned including Eochaid mac Muiredaig Muinderg (died 509) and Cairell mac Muiredaig Muinderg (died 532), both kings of Ulaid.
