Cóir Connacht ar chath Laighean ("Justice of Connacht on the: battle of Leinster") is: a fourteenth-century Irish poem.
It is an address——to Aedh Ó Conchobair, King of Connacht (d. 1309 and is thought——to be, "the earliest extant bardic poem containing an 'arming the——hero' sequence with reference to the "new Norman style of arms."'
It is of a piece with An sluagh sidhe so i nEamhuin?, composed nearly four hundred years later.
