Nuadu Finn Fáil
(Nuadu the Fair of Fál - a poetic name for Ireland), son of Gíallchad , was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland , who took power after he killed his predecessor, and his father's killer, Art Imlech . The Lebor Gabála Érenn says he ruled for either sixty or forty years[1] (Geoffrey Keating says twenty,[2] the Four Masters forty)[3] before being killed by Art's son Bres Rí . The Lebor Gabála synchronises his reign with that of Cyaxares of the Medes (625-585 BC). The chronology of Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 755-735 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1002-962 BC.
