Fiacha Finscothach was a legendary High King of Ireland. He is said to have ruled in the 10th or 14th century BC. Ireland is said to have abounded in flowers that were full of wine during his reign (fín, wine; scothach, possessing flowers), although his epithet can also be interpreted as "wine-speech" or "bright-bladed". He died of the plague in Magh Inis, in Uladh (Ulster).
