  Augaire mac Ailella (with similar spellings like Ugaire and Aililla) wa s t h e K i n g of Laigin (Leinster), Ireland, who is said to have led the I ri s h f o r ces at the Battle of Confey c. 915-917. The Irish were defeated b y V i k i n gs under King Sigtrygg Caech (also called Sigtrygg Gael or Sithr ic t h e B l i nd) from Dublin. The Annals of the Four Masters said he was k ill e d i n t h e battle. The warrior who actually slew Ugaire in 917 was th e f a t h e r of Palnatoke, who in the Jómsvíkinga saga is named Palner Toke se n ( P á l nir son of Tóki). He was probably the husband of Mór ingen Cearbhaill from the neighborin g k i n g d om of Osraige.
