[2] Fearadach Fionnfeachtnach (sometimes called Fioraidhack) is given place number 102 in John O'Hart's list of the monarchs of Ireland, following the line of Heber. [3] He was given the epithet "feachtnach" by Moran (who was a Brehon or lawyer) for his truthfulness and sincerity. In the Annuls of the Four Masters we read - The first year of Fearadhach Finnfeachtnach as king over Ireland; good was Ireland during his time. The seasons were right tranquil. The earth brought forth its fruit; fishful its river mouths; milkful the kine; heavy headed the woods. [4] Again, from the Annuls of the Four Masters - in the Age of Christ, 36; Fearadhach Finnfeachtnach, son of Crimhthann Niadhnair, after having spent twenty two years in the sovereignty of Ireland, died at Teamhair. [5] He had died a natural death at Teamhair or Liathdroim, both ancient names for the royal residence Ráith na Rí, the Hill of Tara, Knowth [6] Fíatach Finn MacDáire, King of Ulaid, succeeded Feradach Finnfechtnach as High King of Ireland - they were not related.
