Fergus Fortamail ("strong, prevailing"), son of Bresal Brecc, son of Óengus Gailian, son of Ailill Bracan, son of Labraid Loingsech , was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland .He took power after killing the previous incumbent, Eochaid Ailtlethan , in battle, and ruled for either eleven, twelve or twelve and a half years, until he was killed by Eochaid's son Óengus Tuirmech Temrach in battle at Tara . The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Ptolemy VI Philometor in Egypt (180-145 BC).[1] The chronology of Geoffrey Keating 's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 274-262 BC,[2] that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 396-385 BC.[3]
