Rinne Muircheartach ruathair ar an Mí, an [[Osraí]] agus an [[Mumhain]], agus ghabh sé rí Mumhan [[Cellachán Caisil|Ceallachán Chaisil]] mar ghiall, chun a chuid cumhachta agus laige Dhonnchadha a léiriú.
''Muirchertach married Donnchad's daughter Flann, but relations between the two men were not good. Conflict between them is recorded in 927, 929, and 938, but it was not until 941, following Flann's death the year previously, that Muirchertach and Donnchad came to blows. That year Muirchertach raided Mide, [[Osraige]], and [[Munster]], taking the Munster king [[Cellachán Caisil]] hostage as a demonstration of his power and Donnchad's limited authority.
