Crimthann Coscrach ("the victorious"),[1] son of Fedlimid Fortrén, son of Fergus Fortamail , was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland . He took power after killing his predecessor, Énna Aignech , and ruled for four or seven years, after which he was killed by Rudraige mac Sithrigi . The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Ptolemy VIII Physcon in Egypt (145-116 BC).[2] The chronology of Geoffrey Keating 's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 191-184 BC,[3] that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 293-289 BC.[4]
