Life
Flaithbertach mac Inmainen, who died in 944, was abbot of Inis Cathaig (Scattery) and for a time king of Munster in southern Ireland. He first appears in the annals in 907, on an expedition against Connacht beside King Cormac mac Cuilennáin. In 908, as the army of Munster was gathering, he fell from his horse, which was taken as a bad omen. He is a ruler and cleric, not a saint; the sources found show no veneration of him.
