 Another early seventeenth-century account of the campaign is contained in McGeoghegan's translation of "The Annals of Clonmacnoise".The campaign has provisionally been dated to the third century AD.Although the Loígis were originally from Ulster in the north, Lugaidh Laeighsech led his tribe into the southern conflict at the request of his foster father, Eochaid Find Fuath nAirt ('Eochaid the Fair, Art's Abhorrence').
