  Reigned For 40 Years,Murdered By His Brother Breogain
  Given Name: Ugaine Mor (Aogaine) Hugonius "The_Great" Mac EOCHAID , 66th King of Ireland.
  
  Ugaine Mór: In the early ages the Irish Kings made many military expeditions into foreign countries. Ugaine Mór, called by O'Flaherty, in his Ogygia, "Hugonius Magnus," was contemporary with Alexander the Great; and is stated to have sailed with a fleet into the Mediterranean, landed his forces in Africa, and also attacked Sicily; and. having proceeded to Gaul, was married to Cæsair, daughter of the King of the Gauls. Hugonius was buried at Cruachan. The Irish sent, during the Punic wars, auxiliary troops to their Celtic Brethren, the Gauls; who in their alliance with the Carthaginians under Hannibal, fought against the Roman armies in Spain and Italy. —CONNELLAN.
  This Ugaine, [or Hugony] the Great was the 66th Monarch of Ireland. He was called Mór on account of his extensive dominions, — being sovereign of all the Islands of Western Europe. Was married to Cæsair, dau. to the King of France, and by her had issue-twenty-two sons and three daughters. In order to prevent these children encroaching on each other he divided the Kingdom into twenty-five portions, allotting to each his (or her) distinct inheritance. By means of this division the taxes of the country were collected during the succeeding 300 years. All the sons died without issue except two, viz: — Laeghaire Lorc, ancestor of all the Leinster Heremonians; and Cobthach Caolbhreagh, from whom the Heremonians of Leath Cuinn, viz., Meath, Ulster, and Conacht derive their pedigree. Ugaine was at length, B.C. 593, slain by Badhbhchadh, who failed to secure the fruits of his murder — the Irish Throne, as he was executed by order of Laeghaire Lorc, the murdered Monarch's son, who became the 68th Monarch.

  Ughaine Mor, his son, the 66th Monarch of Ireland, 40 years; he had 22 sons and three daughters by Cesssair, the daughter of the King of France, who being all come to years and each of them having a great retinue of men and many followers, were very oppressive to the whole kingdom by their coisherings and progresses up and down amoung the subjects; successively one after another, where one of them with his gang would be this night and another would be the next night following, and so continue till they ate up and destroyed all those provisions; which being represented to the Monarch a great grievance, he to provide a remedy for the future divided his kingdom into five and twenty, allotting to each son and daughter their part without encroaching on one antoehr. All the sons died without issue but two, Laeghaire Lorc, ancestor to all the Leinster Heremonians and Caobthach Coel Broeg, from whom the Heremonians of Leath Cuinn, West Meath, Ulster and Connacht derive their pedigrees. The first of these two sons became so great and powerful that the contention and strife hitherto between them and the issue of the two elder brothers of Heremon, Heber and Ir, was totally laid aside, and from hence downward bloodily and inhumanly maintained and upheld without the greatest violence between these two brothers, and their issue, killing, murdering and destroying one another, not admitting any of the other two septs to come into play except now and then (and that very seldom), one or another of them would by chance step in between them for a second; and to a prologue to this wayward play this Ughaine, after 40 years reign, A.M. 3646, was murdered by his own brother, Badhbhchadh, whereby he made himself Monarch, which he enjoyed but three hours, when he was murdered by his nephew Laeghaire, called from the murder "Lorc," i.e., murderer. The eldest son of Ughaine Mor, to avenge his father's death and to gain the Monarchy which he held but two years, when he and his son, Ailill Aine, were both murdered by his younger brother, Cabthach Coel Breag. Although order requires to give precedence to the elder brother and his issue, yet the Irish Chronicles
