Cathal mac Finguine (died 742) was an Irish King of Munster or Cashel, and effectively High King of Ireland as well. He belonged to the Eóganacht Glendamnach sept of the dominant Eóganachta kin-group whose members dominated Munster from the 7th century to the 10th. His father, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather had also been kings of Cashel, so too were his son and grandson.

  • Cathal mac Finguine (died 742) was an Irish King of Munster or Cashel, and effectively High King of Ireland as well. He belonged to the Eóganacht Glendamnach sept of the dominant Eóganachta kin-group whose members dominated Munster from the 7th century to the 10th. His father, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather had also been kings of Cashel, so too were his son and grandson. Cathal's conflict with the Uí Néill kings, Fergal mac Máele Dúin, Flaithbertach mac Loingsig, and Áed Allán, son of Fergal mac Máele Dúin, is reported at some length in the Irish annals, and again northern and southern versions provide differing accounts. Cathal also appears as a character, not always portrayed sympathetically as in Aislinge Meic Con Glinne where he is possessed by a demon of gluttony, in a number of prose and verse tales in the Middle Irish language. Widely regarded as the most powerful Irish king of the first half of the 8th century, and the strongest (historical) king from Munster before Brian Bóruma, Cathal mac Finguine is believed to be the last king mentioned in the Baile Chuinn Chétchathaig. The most expansionist historical Eóganacht king before him was Faílbe Flann mac Áedo Duib (d. 639).
  • Cathal mac Finguine est un Roi irlandais de Munster ou de Cashel de 713/721 à 742 qui fut de facto Ard ri Erenn ou « Haut Roi d'Irlande » . Il appartenait à la dynastie Eóganachta, de la lignée des Eóganachta Glendamnach qui dominaient le Munster entre le VIIe siècle et le Xe siècle. Avant lui son père, son oncle, ses grands-pères et arrière-grands-pères avaient été également rois de Cashel, comme le seront aussi son fils et son petit-fils. Les conflits entre Cathal avec les rois Uí Néill; Fergal mac Maele Duin issu du Cenél nEógain, Flaithbertach mac Loingsig issu du Cenél Conaill, et Áed Allán, le fils de Fergal mac Duin Maele, sont rapportés en détail dans les Chroniques d'Irlande, mais les versions émanant des documents du nord et du sud sont souvent différentes. Il est généralement considéré comme le plus puissant roi irlandais de la première moitié du VIIIe siècle, et le plus important roi de Munster avant Brian Bóruma, Cathal mac Finguine est enfin considéré par la critique moderne comme le dernier roi mentionné sous le nom obscur de « aue Coircc » dans le Baile Chuinn Chétchathaig.
