Editing Cormac mac Airt (section)

==Death==
After ruling for forty years, Cormac choked to death on a [[salmon]] bone. Some versions blame this on a curse laid by a druid because Cormac had converted to [[Christianity]]. Some versions of the ''[[Lebor Gabála Érenn]]'' synchronise his reign with that of the Roman emperor [[Marcus Aurelius]] (161–180). Keating dates his reign to 204–244; the ''[[Annals of the Four Masters]]'' to 226–266. An entry in the ''[[Annals of Ulster]]'' dates his death as late as 366.<ref name="byrne" /> He was succeeded by [[Eochaid Gonnat]].
