Aed Ruad, son of Badarn, Dithorba, son of Deman, and Cimbaeth, son of Fintan, three grandsons of Airgetmar, were, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, High Kings of Ireland who ruled in rotation, seven years at a time. They each ruled for three seven-year stints. Aed died at the end of his third stint, by drowning in a waterfall which was named Eas Ruaid, "the red's waterfall" (Assaroe Falls, Ballyshannon, County Donegal), after him. Dithorba and Cimbaeth then took their turn, after which Aed's daughter, Macha Mong Ruad, demanded to rule in her father's place. Dithorba and Cimbaeth refused, and battle ensured. Dithorba was killed. Macha forced Dithorba's sons to build her a palace at Emain Macha. She married Cimbaeth and the pair ruled for a further seven years, at the end of which Cimbaeth died of plague, and Macha became the only queen in the List of High Kings of Ireland.
