Adamair (Adammair, Adhamair, Amadir), son of Fer Corb, was, according to medieval Irish legends and historical traditions, a High King of Ireland. He came from Munster, killed the previous incumbent, Ailill Caisfhiaclach, and reigned for five years, until he was killed by Eochaid Ailtleathan.[1] The chronology of the Annals of the Four Masters dates his reign to 418-414 BC,[2] the chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn to 290-285 BC.[3] He was the husband of the presumed goddess Flidais of the Tuatha Dé Danann.[4]
