Conchobar Abradruad

Conchobar Abradruad ("red eyelashes"),[1] son of Find File, son of Ros Ruad, son of Ferhus Fairgge, son of Nuadu Necht, of the Laigin, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He succeeded to the throne after the death of Lugaid Riab nDerg, and ruled for a year, at the end of which he was killed by Lugaid's son Crimthann Nia Náir. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of the Roman emperor Vespasian (AD 69–79).[2] The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 13–12 BC,[3] that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 9–8 BC.[4]
