Flathróe mac Fiachrach

Flathróe mac Fiachrach (died 774) was a Dál nAraidi king of the Cruthin in Ulaid, a medieval over-kingdom in Ireland. He was the son of Fiachra Cossalach (died 710), a previous king.[1] He may have belonged to the Eilne branch of the family. He ruled from 749-774.

Nothing is recorded of his reign in the annals but his death notice is significant in that it was the last time the title king of the Cruthin was used for the kings of Dál nAraidi.[2]

Flathróe mac Fiachrach's genealogy is recorded in Leabhar na nGenealach as; "Oilill s. Cumascach s. Flannagán s. Eochaid s. Breasal s. Flaithrí s. Fiachra Cos-salach s. Dúnghalach s. Scannal s. Béice s. Fiachra Crach, who is Teallán s. Baodán s. Eochaidh.".[3]

gollark: Er, vacuum, not air.
gollark: Maybe it could be done with some detachable component to do the launch in the air if I was better at docking.
gollark: On Minmus I just gave it some long landing legs.
gollark: It would probably recoil itself against the ground.
gollark: Given the low gravity it would be safe, if annoying, to just raise it a bit during the launch. Except possibly the mass driver recoil would cause problems.
