What is Eochaid Cairbre?
Eochaid Cairbre, which can be translated into English as Haughey the Charioteer, was a legendary king of Scotland who ruled from probably 165 to 186. He was the son of the High King of Ireland [[Conaire Cóem]] and Queen Saraid, as well as brother of a king of Munster, where he used to live. According to one source, he was killed by a court musician and was buried in Ulster. Eochaid was possibly given Dál Riata when [[Músc mac Conaire|his brother]] received Munster.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Eochaid Cairbre (Annals of the Four Masters)|url=https://www.geni.com/people/Eochaid-Cairbre-Annals-of-the-Four-Masters/6000000002447117099|access-date=2023-04-14|website=geni_family_tree|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Kessler|first=P.
