His genealogy is not recorded in Rawlinson Genealogies, the annals record only that he was slain but give no details.[1] His son Fáelán mac Forbasaig (died 786) was a King of Osraige.

The Book of Leinster king lists an Ailill mac Fáeláin as king prior to Cellach mac Fáelchair (died 735). This Ailill would be the brother of Cú Cherca mac Fáeláin (died 712) and son of Fáelán mac Crundmaíl (died 660), previous kings.

gollark: It isn't. It has a fancy distributed network of sensor/hologram projector nodes which make fake fireballs, and also access to the orbital laser systems.
gollark: It's very good, and was briefly Supreme Dictator of Earth, actually.
gollark: No, just the bible at that point.
gollark: Oh, I wrote that with GPT-4 in 2033 and sent it back in time, actually.
gollark: Besides, you would pay tons of money to upload a book via that.
