Lugaid Mend (also Lámderg) was one of the legendary kings of Ireland. He was a son of Óengus Tírech, son of Fer Corb, son of Mug Corb, son of Cormac Cass.[1] He was the great-grandfather of Cass.[2][3]

He was contemporaneous with Niall of the Nine Hostages. The clans of In Déis Tuaisceirt considered him their ancestor.

He carried on and finished the invasion of the southern end of Connacht started by King Crimthann mac Fidaig. The war defined the present day boundary between County Clare and County Galway.[4]
