A good question, and one which isn't really answered (yet) by the articles on the various Muirchertachs. King Myr-whatever of the sagas would be ("based on", as they say in films)
Muirchertach Ua Briain. There's a paper by Rosemary Power covers Muirchertach's doings with Magnus Barefoot from Saga Book XXIX (which can be downloaded
here). There's another paper somewhere in a recent-ish Saga Book which deals more with the saga side of things, but I don't recall where or what it might be called.

Different sagas, different Muirchertachs. The Myrkjartan of
Laxdœla Saga, father of
Melkorka (Mael Curcaigh) lived in the first half of the ninth century about the time of Muirchertach Mac Neill, and what's more, was actually identified as Muirchertach na Cochall Craicinn in [Scandinavian Relations with Ireland during the Viking Periodhttp://www.archive.org/details/scandinavianrela00walsuoft] by A. Walsh (Talbot Press Unltd., Dublin 1922) p. 16.
