Eochaid Étgudach

 

Eochaid Étgudach

In Irish mythology Eochaid Étgudach ("possessing clothes") or Etgedach ("The negligent"?) or was a High King of Ireland of the 13th or 16th century BC. He took the kingship after a seven year interregnum following the death of Tigernmas, and ruled for four years, before being deposed by Cearmna Finn.

He introduced a system whereby the number of colours a man could wear in his clothes depended on his social rank, from one colour for a slave to six for a king.
