Narrative

Muircheartach died in 977, killed in battle against his uncle Olaf, King of Dublin. He was heir to the high-kingship. He was possibly fostered in Meath, since the Gael kings' and chiefs' sons were always fostered out. He went by the nick-name of Muircheartach 'Midheach' (or in English, of Meath).
