- Laeghaire Lorc, son of Ugaine Mor, of the Line of Heremon, was 68th Monarch of Ireland. Began his reign in 593 BC. Laeghaire, the ancestor of all the Leinster Heremonians, ordered the execution of Badhbhchadh who slayed his father Ugaine thereby preventing him achieving the fruits of his murder. (Irish Pedigrees by John O'Hart, Published in 1892 by James Duffy & Co. Ltd. Dublin.)
Muirchu's Vita Patricii (7th Century) describes Loegaire, St. Patrick's alleged contemporary, as 'a great king, fierce and pagan, and emperor of non-Romans, with his royal seat at Tara, which was then the capital of the realm of the Irish'. (The Oxford Illustrated History of Ireland edited by R F Foster - Oxford University Press 1989).
Also called Laery. He inherited the kingdom from his father, but Covac (his brother), consumed and sick with envy, sought to Slay him, and asked the advice of a Druid as to how this could be managed, since Laery, justly suspicious, never would visit him without an armed escort. The druid bade him feign death, and have word sent to his brother that he was on his bier ready for burial. This Covac did, and when Laery arrived and bent over the supposed corpse Covac stabbed him to the heart, and slew also one of his sons, Ailill (pronounced 'E;-yill'), who attended him. Thus Covac ascended the throne, and straightway his illness left him. (Celtic - Myths and Legends - T W Rolleston [Senate Press 1994])
