Amalgaid mac Éndai

Amalgaid mac Éndai (died 601)[1] was a King of Munster from the Eóganacht Áine branch of the Eoganachta and appears as the first king from this branch.

The chronology of the Munster kings from this period is confusing. The Annals of Tigernach mention him as king in 596 along with his brother Garbán mac Éndai and he is mentioned as king in The Book of Leinster.[2] However, the pro-Glendamnach Laud Synchronisms omit him as does the saga of Senchas Fagbála Caisil "The Story of the Finding of Cashel".[3]

His son Cúán mac Amalgado (died 641) was also a King of Munster.

gollark: I see.
gollark: As in, Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or another queen?
gollark: "Fortunately" such high-energy drives would also be very visible when running, so we'd have plenty of time to prepare and be unable to do anything.
gollark: And if they wanted to kill off humans it would be trivial, as anything capable of accelerating a fairly large ship to significant fractions of lightspeed can do the same to a kinetic impactor of some sort.
gollark: Interstellar travel is, as far as anyone can tell, ridiculously expensive. So it would not be worth going several light-years (probably more) just to attain Earth's, I don't know, rare earth metal stocks, when you can just mine asteroid belts or do starlifting.
