Lugaid Loígde

Ancestor figure for the Érainn and Corco Loígde, son of Dáire (Doimtech). In versions of a sovereignty tale, he appears as one of five sons all named Lugaid because of a prophecy that one named Lugaid will take the kingship of Ireland. When the brothers are tested, each of them earns an epithet but it is Lugaid Loígde (‘of the Fawn’) who wins the favour of the sovereignty lady and gains the kingship.
