Muircheartach Ua Briain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muircheartach Ua Briain was a high king of Ireland (1101-1118 AD).
In 1101 he became king and travelled the island provinces. In 1114 the king became sick to the point where "he became a living skeleton". In response to the kings misfortune Diarmait ua Briain took control of the kingship of Mumu and banished Muircheartach. The following year Muircheartach regained his strength and undertook a campaign to regain control of Mumu and successfully captured Diarmait. Only later did the king regain control of Mumu.
In 1118 Muircheartach Ó Briain died.
