One or perhaps multiple Munstermen in Irish tradition. Mac Cana has argued that historically, he may have been a chieftain who contended with Feidlimid mac Crimthainn (d. 846) for the kingship of Munster. Later traditions variously present him as a poet, husband to the sovereignty princess Mis and harpist to Feidlimid mac Crimthainn (The romance of Mis and Dub Ruis).
