Bruidge mac Nath Í
Bruidge mac Nath Í (died 579) was a king of the Uí Failge, a Laigin people of County Offaly. He was the grandson of Failge Berraide, the eponymous ancestor of the dynasty.[1]
He is listed as king in the Book of Leinster king list though incorrectly as Bruidgi mac Cathair.[2] He is also mentioned in a poem in the genealogies about the royal fort at Rathangan, County Kildare.[3] The annals record his death in the year 579 and this may have been in warfare with the Ui Neill[4]
