I Miotaseolaíocht na nGael, Ard-Rí seanscéalach na hÉireann ab ea Cathair Mór mac Feidhlimidh Fiorurghlas, de shliocht Conchobar Abradruad.

Tháinig sé i gcoróin tar éis bás Fhéilimí Reachtmhair.^[1]^[2] Bhí sé i réim ar feadh trí bliana sular mharaigh Luaigne na Teamhrach é, agus Conn Cétchathach i gceannas.

Seanscéalta

Sa seanscéal Esnada Tige Buchet, b'iníon altrama í Eithne Tháebfhota iníon Chathrach de bhrughaidh na Laighean darbh ainm Buichead. Bhí an chuid bólachta ag Buichead, ach tháinig mic Cathrach i dtír ar fháilte Bhuichid, ionas nach raibh fágtha aige ach tarbh amháin agus seacht mbó. Ní raibh an rí, anois sean agus fann, in ann a mhic a shrian. Ní raibh de rogha ag Buichead agus a theaghlach, Eithne chomh maith, ach cónaí i mbothán san fhoraois gar do Ceanannais, Contae na Mí. In am trátha agus Cormac mac Airt ina rí, phós seisean Eithne, agus a mhalairt rath Buichid as sin amach.^[3] I scéalta eile, ba é Conn Cétchathach, comharba Cathrach, an rí a phós Eithne.^[4]

Sa seanscéal Fotha Catha Cnucha, thug Cathair Cnoc Ailinne,^[5] Contae Chill Dara, do Nuadha mac Aichi, draoi. In am trátha, bheadh cáil ar an gcnoc seo agus Fionn mac Cumhaill, fionnó Nuadha, ina chónaí ann.^[6]
