Lugaid Loígde "Lugaid of the Calf Goddess", also known as Lugaid mac Dáire, was a legendary
King of Tara and
High King of Ireland. He is a son of
Dáire Doimthech, ancestor of the
Dáirine, and gives his epithet to their principal royal sept, the
Corcu Loígde. A descendant of Lugaid, with whom he may be to some extent identical, is the famous
Mac Con,[1] listed in the
Old Irish kinglist Baile Chuinn Chétchathaig as Mac Con macc aui (moccu) Lugde Loígde.[2]
