Laegaire Buadach

The name Laegaire Buadach means "Laegaire the Triumphant".

Laegaire Buadach first appeared as one of the champions of Conchobar who found Deichtine's son, Cú Chulainn, called Setanta at the time of his birth.

Laegaire was also one of the champions to contend for the champion portion in the Bricriu's Feast, against two other warriors from the Red Branch, Conall Cernach and Cú Chulainn (Cu Chulainn). He shrank from the beheading game, however. Also, in the pig feast of Mac Datho, he failed to recount a better heroic deed than Cet Mac Maga.

In the Welsh Culhwch and Olwen, Laegaire was equated with Luber Beuthach.
