Magnus 'Barfot', som ca 1102 installerat sin son Sigurd som konung på Isle of Man, allierar sig med den iriske kung Muircetach av Munster, som hjälper honom att erövra Dublin och bjurder honom att tillbringa vintern hemma hos sig. När det våras beger sig de båda förbundsbröderna iväg på en krigisk expedition till det nordirländska Ulster, men där råkar kung Magnus ut för ett bakhåll och blir dödad tillsammans med många av sin landsmän.

There is no age given for Muirchertach MacLochlainn at his death in 1166.
(Källa: Clann Lochlainn)
The quote from the Ban Seanchus makes it clear that Muircheartach's mother was Cailleach Chríon Nic Cuiléin. I presume their surname should now be spelled Ó Cuiléin, and has probably become something like Collins in English.

In 1154, the Chronicles of Mann state that Godred, King of Mann, was asked by the people of Dublin to be their king. When Murtagh, King of Ireland, heard this, he assembled a host and marched on Dublin with his twin brother, Osiblen. In the ensuing battle, Osiblen was slain. Another translation of this tract calls Osiblen his uterine brother and renders the name of the King of Ireland as Muirchertach.

King of Ailech Muirchertach Mac Lochlainn 1145-1166
The Kings of Ailech were the Cenél nEógain and thus a branch of the Uí Néill.

Cenél nEógain (in English, Cenel Eogan)is the name of the "kindred" or descendants of Eógan, son of Niall Noígiallach who founded the kingdom of Tír Eógan in the 5th century. It comprises much of what is now County Tyrone, as well as parts of counties Londonderry, Donegal, Fermanagh, Monaghan and Armagh.
Muirechertach mac Lochlainn (died 1166) was king of the Cenél nEógain (of modern County Tyrone) and High King of Ireland from around 1154 to 1156, following Tairrdelbach mac Ruaidri Ua Conchobair (died 1156). Succeeded by Ruaidri mac Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair.
Mac Lochlainn survived an attempt by Ruaidri mac Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair to unseat him in 1159. He failed, however, to overcome the resistance of the Cenél Conaill and the Ulaid. In 1166, to attempt to achieve a diplomatic settlement with his neighbours, Mac Lochlainn arranged a truce and took hostages from many of the families in Ulster. In return he had given a solemn oath to the Bishop of Armagh and many other notables for his good behaviour. In violation of the oath, he had Eochaid mac Con Ulad Mac Duinn Sléibe, King of Ulster, seized and blinded.
Mac Lochlainn's allies abandoned him almost at once, and he was reduced to a handful of followers. With sixteen of these closest associates, he was killed and his death attributed to the vengeance of Saint Patrick.
