  Notes	Cormac mac Airt ("son of Art"; also known as Cormac ua Cuinn, "grandson of Conn") was the son of Art Óenfer. Cormac Ulfhada "long beard", Cormac (also known as or Cormac ua Cuinn) began his reign in the year 0226 and was the 115th monarch in the line of Heber, the wisest, most learned and best of any that ruled the Kingdom of the Milesian race in Ireland before him. He ordained very good laws, wrote several learned treatises, amoung which his treatise of Kingly government dictated to his son Carbre is yet extant and extraordinary. [1] [2] Cormac's wife, Eithne, was the daughter of Dunlong, King of Leinster. He had three sons, Darius, Cairbre and Ceallach, but no issue is recorded from any but Cairbre. He had also ten daughters, but no account of them, only two, Grace or Grania and Ailbhe, who were both successively the wives of the grand champion and general of the Irish Militia, Finn, the son of Cubhall. During the latter part of his reign, he resided at Sletty on the Boyne, being, it is said, disqualified for the occupation of Tara by the personal blemish he had sustained in the loss of an eye, by the hand of Angus "Dread-Spear," chief of the Desi, a tribe whose original seats were in the barony of Deece, in the county of Meath. [3] Some versions of the Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronise his reign with that of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (161–180) Keating dates his reign to 204–244 The Annals of the Four Masters date his reign to 226–266. An entry in the Annals of Ulster dates his death as late as 366. He was succeeded by Eochaid Gonnat.
