The annals record a defeat of the Leinstermen at the Battle of Taillten in 494 by
Coirpre mac Néill.[3] This is associated with the
Ui Neill conquest of
Brega and the taking of Tailtiu.[4] In 495 Fráech was defeated and slain by Eochu mac Coirpri at the second Battle of Grainaret (
Granard,
County Longford) in Tethba.[5]
