Sárán mac Cóelbad

Sárán mac Cóelbad (flourished circa third quarter of 5th century) was a Dal nAraide king in the time of Saint Patrick. He was the son of Cáelbad mac Cruind Ba Druí, a high king of Ireland and King of Ulster.[1]

He is listed in king lists such as in the Book of Leinster and Laud Synchronisms but is not mentioned in the Irish annals. Genealogies such as Laud Genealogies and Rawlinson Genealogies give him a reign of 26 years. Another mention of Sárán is in the Vita tripartita Sancti Patricii. According to this, Sárán had made a raid on the Irish portion of Dál Riata and took away some captives.

The Mac Artáin of Kinelarty, County Down descend from him as is clarified within the Keating Genealogies.

gollark: The door lock or whatever would store the public key, the pocket computer the private key, and the pocket computer would constantly broadcast a message containing the current time, signed with its private key.
gollark: Just thinking about it, the most secure way might be a pocket computer sending sender-verified signals based on the current time.
