Donnchadh mac Murchada

Donnchad mac Murchada (aka 'Donnchadh Ua Mael-na-mbo' and 'Donnchad grandson of Mael na mBó') was a King of Leinster from 1098 until 1115 when he died in battle while fighting Domnall Gerrlámhach, the King of Dublin. A near contemporary account by Gerald of Wales, suggests that the King of Dublin lured him to Dublin under false pretence of peace, killed him and then buried him with a dog as an insult.
