In 641, Maenah poppy Fingin ascended the throne of Munster, becoming the successor to the deceased King Kuan poppy Amalgado from [3] [8] [9] [10] [11] . The reports that Maenach’s brother also held the royal title, but other medieval historical sources confirm this [12] .
Although the reign of Maenach lasted more than twenty years [13] , almost no mention was made of the events taking place in Munster at that time in the Irish annals . In these historical sources , only the war between the Munster Eoganahts , known as the "feud between the sons of Katal Mak Aedo and the sons of Aed Bennan, is reported." According to the Irish saga “Mor Muman and the Cruel Death of Kuanu Mack Aylchine” ( dr. Irl. Mór Muman 7 Aided Cuanach meic Ailchine ), the beginning of this conflict dates back to the time of Katal Mack Aedo from the , who ruled Munster in 619 / 621-625 / 628 years. Then a supporter of King Kwan Kan Mack Aylkhine from the Fir Maige Fene tribe was kidnapped by Ruithern, sister Mor Muman, who was married to the rebellious Lonan Mack Findig. King Katal mak Aedo and his sons supported the actions of Kuan mak Aylkhine, while the sons of Aed Bennan sided with Lonan [14] [15] . This led to a war between representatives of the Glendamnakh and Loch Lane branches of the Eoganakht family, which lasted at least until the mid-640s. In the annals it is reported that between 640 and 645 there was a battle at Kenn Cohn between the troops of the two warring parties. Engus Liat (brother of the king of Catalus) commanded the army of the Glendamnakh Eoganakhts, Mael Duin Mak Aedo Bennan commanded the army of the Loch Lane Eoganakhts . Many warriors died on both sides, but as a result the Glendamnakh Eoganakhts won, and Mael Duin was forced to flee the battlefield [16] . At the same time, the deaths of Quanu Mack Kailhin, which is identified with the kidnapper of Princess Ruithern, are also dated in the annals [17]. In the saga, it is narrated that Kuan died in a duel with Lonan Mack Findig, but his winner also died on the battlefield from his wounds [14 ] [15] .
King Maenah poppy Fingin died in 662 [1] [2] [3] [18] . His successor on the Munster throne was Katal Ku-ken-matayr from the Glendamnakh Eoganakhtov [3] [8] [9] [10] .
It is known that Maenakh poppy Fingin had a son Ailil and grandson Kormak poppy Aiello , as well as his grandfather, the former king of Munster [1] [4] .
