Cin ed mac Conaing died 851 was king of Brega King of Knowth in the medieval Ireland Irish province of Mide , succeeding his father Conaing mac Flainn in 849. Cin ed s family belonged to the Knowth, or U Chonaing, branch of the S l n edo Sl ine , part of the southern branch of the dominant U N ill kin group. The leadership of the southern branch rested with the rival Clann Cholm in whose chief, M el Sechnaill mac M ele Ruanaid , was High King of Ireland . Even within the S l n edo Sl ine, Cin ed and his kin had a rival in the shape of Tigernach mac F cartai , king of Lagore. In 850 Cin ed allied himself with the Viking armies in the Irish midlands. He and his allies, say the Annals of Ulster , plundered the southern U N ill from the River Shannon Shannon to the sea burning churches and settlements. This is portrayed as a rebellion against M el Sechnaill, but the target may well have been Cin ed s local rival Tigernach whose crannog in Loch Gabhair was burned, along with the nearby church at Trevet . The following year, the Irish annals record, Cin ed was treacherously executed by being drowned by M el Sechnaill and Tigernach, presumably at a conference as the annals add that this was in spite of the guarantees of the nobles of Ireland, and the successor of Saint Patrick Patrick i.e. the abbot of Armagh in particular . Cin ed was succeeded by his brother Flann mac Conaing Flann . According to saga material embedded in the Fragmentary Annals of Ireland , the Viking king Amla b Conung Amla b was married to a daughter of Cin ed, and killed his brother Auisle in an argument over her. Whether this wife existed, and if she did, whether she was the daughter of this Cin ed, or of the king of the Picts Cin ed mac Ailp n , or of some other Cin ed, is unclear.

He is believed to be the founder of the settlement, Waterford Harbour Loch d Caech present day Waterford in the year 914.
