Early life[edit | edit source]
Flann was born either in 847 or 848 as the son of the High King Máel Sechnaill mac Máele Ruanaid and Land ingen Dúngaile.[2] After Máel died in 862, allegedly due to being murdered by his nephew Áed Findliath, the High Kingship passed on to the Northern Uí Néill, with Áed succeeding Máel. As per customs, Áed then went on to marry Flann's mother, which Flann deeply despised.[3][4]
Flann then spent the rest of his adolescent years in and around Ireland, meeting and befriending the various petty kings throughout the island, hoping to one day use what he'd learned to unite Ireland and end the alternating of kingship once and for all.[4]
