Bile Tened’s Two Encounters
The principal event was the battle in Mag Singite, at Bile Tened in Asal. The Annals of Tigernach explicitly say that Murchad Midi won it. The Annals of Ulster, using a more guarded formulation, calls it a battle of “varying fortunes” and preserves the deaths from two separate encounters: Colgu and Áed Cluasach son of Diarmait in the first, then Flann son of Áed son of Dlúthach and Dub Dúin, grandson of Béc, in the second. This language suggests not a single neat clash but successive engagements or renewed fighting on the same field.
