Cormac mac Ailello

Cormac mac Ailello (died 712)[1] was a king of Munster from the Eóganacht Chaisil branch of the Eoganachta and the Cenél Fíngin sept of this branch. He was the grandson of Máenach mac Fíngin (died 661), a previous king.[2] He succeeded Eterscél mac Máele Umai (died 721) in 702 who had abdicated.

The annals report that Cormac fought wars in north Munster. In 710, Cormac harried the area of Cliú (in N.E.Co.Limerick). In 712, he fought the Battle of Carn Feradaig (Cahernarry, Limerick Co.) in Cliú against the Dál gCais or Déis Tuaiscirt of Thomond. He was defeated and slain. He was succeeded by Cathal mac Finguine (died 742).

gollark: Without the minus.
gollark: Correction: there is no minus sign, it's just -L dI/dt.
gollark: Resistance means that V = IR for some constant R (the resistance), inductance means that V = -L dI/dt for some constant L (the inductance).
gollark: This is a clock signal input connected to an N-MOSFET, which just switches between unreasonably high resistance and low resistance at 1kHz.
gollark: This is an inductor, which has inductance.
