Cináed mac Flainn


Cináed mac Flainn was the king of the Uí Failge, a Laigin people of County Offaly. He was one of the many sons of Fland Dá Chongal, a previous king. He ruled from 757 to 770. He was the second of Fland's sons by Érenach, daughter of Murchad Midi of Uisnech to hold the throne.
In 770 he challenged the authority of the over king of Leinster, Cellach mac Dúnchada. This coincided with attacks launched by the southern Ui Neill including the high king Donnchad Midi. Cináed was defeated and slain at the Battle of Áth Orc along with his brother Cellach and his ally Cathnia mac Bécce of the Fothairt.
His son Flaíthnia mac Cináeda was a King of Uí Failge.
