Fíachna Lonn mac Cóelbad

Fíachna Lonn mac Cóelbad ("the fierce") (flourished 482) was a Dal nAraide king in modern County Antrim, Ulster. He was the son of Cáelbad mac Cruind Ba Druí, a high king of Ireland and King of Ulster and brother of the previous Dal nAraide kings Sárán mac Cóelbad and Condlae mac Cóelbad.[1]

He is listed in king lists as successor to his brothers. In some annals he is mentioned as a participant in the Battle of Ochae (Faughan Hill, near Kells) in 482 which overthrew the high king Ailill Molt of Connacht.[2] The Annals of Ulster call him the son of the King of Dal nAraide.[3] While other later annals such as the Chronicum Scotorum call him King of Dal nAraide.[4]

The descendants of his brother Condlae were to provide the ruling line the Uí Chóelbad of Dal nAraide.

gollark: One possible way to fix this would be to have a central "broker" task which receives all state-updating commands ever and maintains stateful state, but this would be annoying too unless I can give everything else read access to it, and actually getting responses back would probably be irritating.
gollark: i.e. two people try and register with the same nick at exactly the same time, and then it has two people with the same nick because each time it checks it hasn't been written yet, and then everything breaks horribly.
gollark: But then I realized "OH APIOFORMS, that is probably vulnerable to weird race conditions".
gollark: So I thought "well, I'll just make it check if the nick is in use when it gets the NICK command".
gollark: However, this does not actually stop multiple people having the same nick, which is no.
