Ruadhri Ua Flaithbertaigh

Ruadhri Ua Flaithbertaigh (fl. 1186-1197) was King of Iar Connacht.

Biography

Ruaidhri may have succeeded by killing his brother, Conchubhar; the Annals of Ulster, sub anno 1186, record that "Conchubhar Ua Flaithbertaigh was killed by Ruaidhri Ua Flaithbertaigh, by his own brother, in Ara."

Ruadhri was taken prisoner by King Cathal Crobhdearg Ua Conchobair of Connaught in unknown circumstances in 1197. There is no further record of him.

gollark: There are various perfectly sensible and consistent ways it *could* work.
gollark: The past is mostly not very good and it wouldn't be very nice living there. Unless you're time-travelling and can just go for a bit and/or bring back knowledge from the future (present?).
gollark: Plus, life extension research is an actual thing now so hopefully some of us may actually live long enough for space exploration at some scale.
gollark: Oh, and much faster.
gollark: > Born too late to explore the world / Born too early to explore the starsIt's not like being on some sort of ship voyage to a faraway place which you stand a decent chance of not coming back from would be very nice. Nowadays you can travel basically most of the planet very cheaply and with low risk, and find stuff which is new *to you* if not to everyone.
