Legends and Stories about our Milesian McGonigle Ancestors 

Gallamh:  The sons of Gallamh defeated the Danaans in Ireland, but the people of Dana do not withdraw.  By their magic art they cast over themselves a veil of

invisibility, which they can put on or off as they choose.  There are two Irelands henceforward, the spiritual and the earthly.

The people of Gallamh are guided by the druid Amerigin, an embodiment of the idea of poetry and thought. Gallamh married Scotia, daughter of Pharaoh Nectonibus

 of Egypt and sister of King Solomon's Queen. Scotia came to Ireland with her sons and was fighting the Tuatha De Danaan in the present day parish of 

Arnagh in co. Kerry, Ireland in the year 1699 BC. Scotia, after whom the people of Ireland were know as Scots until the 16th century AD., also gave her name to 

Scotland when her remote descendants settled in Alba in the 5th century AD. Scotia was buried in co. Kerry.

Heremon: Heremon and his brother were to divide Ireland, his brother Eber was not happy with this situation. War broke out and Eber was slain, Heremon became

 sole king of Ireland and ruled from Tara.

Tighernmas: Introduced the worship of Crom Cruach, which involved  the sacrifice of children for fair weather and fertility. Three fourths of his people died through

 this practice. 

He also found the first gold mine in Ireland and introduced a variety of social colors into the society. A slave might wear one Color, a peasant two, and so forth.

Nuadhat Finn Fail: He was the Lyrurus of Ireland, giving to the country a code of legislation, and also subdividing it, under the High King at Tara, among the

 provincial chiefs. He also introduced the great triennial fair or festival at Tara, where Kings, sub-kings, bards, historians and musicians came to Tara from all parts 

of Ireland to make up genealogical records, enact laws, hear disputed cases, and so forth.  He is supposed to be buried in the great tumulus at Loughcrew in Westmeath.

Ugaine Mor: "the Great" Married Kesair Cruithach, daughter of the King of France. He ruled a great part of western Europe.

Eochy Foltleathan: "of the Long Hair". Eochy only had his hair cut once a year, and the man who did it was chosen by lot and killed afterwards. The reason he did

 this was that he had big ears as long as a horse, and he did not want his deformity known.  The lot fell upon the only son of a poor old widow who convinced the King

 not to kill her son. He had to swear upon the wind and sun that he would tell no person. But the secret was so intense upon the man that he became intensely sick and

 near death. A wise druid was called to heal the man and he said: "It is the secret that is killing him.  He will never be well until he reveals it." So the druid instructed the

 man to tell the secret to a willow tree. The man told the tree the secret and felt as good as new. Later a harpist named Craftiny broke his harp and built a new one out

 of that same willow tree. At a performance at the king's hall, these words came out of the harp: "Two horse’s ears hath Eochy of the Long Hair." With his secret

 known no man was ever put to death on account of the King's misery.

Fiacha "of the white oxen": Fiacha founded the Fianna, who were a band of warriors who guarded the High King of Ireland. There were about twenty-five battalions.

 They were a military elite, and some scholars believe that they are the basis of the Arthurian legends. There is an entire mythological cycle concerning them.

Eochu Mugmedon: Earned his nickname "Slave Lords" from his raids on Roman Britain, in one of which he carried off and married a princess of the ancient Britons 

called Carina, by who he had a son.

Niall "of the nine hostages": Niall of the Nine Hostages was the greatest king that Ireland knew between the time of Cormac MacArt and the coming of Patrick. 

His reign was epochal life not only ruled Ireland greatly and strongly, but carded the name and the fame, and the power and the fear, of Ireland into all neighboring

 nations. He was, moreover, founder of the longest, most important, and most powerful Irish dynasty. Almost without interruption his descendants were Ard Righs 

of Ireland for 600 years. 

Niall was grandson of Muiredeach Tireach. His father Eochaid Mug Medon, son of Muiredeach, became Ardrich midway of the fourth century.  By his wife, Cartbann 

daughter of a British king, Eochaid had the son Niall. By another wife, Mong Fionn, daughter of the King of Munster, Eochaid had four sons, Brian, Fiachar, Ailill, and 

Fergus. Mong Fionn was a bitter, jealous and ambitious woman, who set her heart upon having her son, Brian, succeed his father as Ard Righ. As Niall was-his father's

 favorite, Mong Fionn did not rest until she had exiled him and his mother Carthan, and made Canhann her menial, carrying water to the court. The child was rescued by

 a great poet of that time, Torna, who reared and educated him. When he had reached budding manhood, Torna brought him back to court to take his rightful place much

 to his father's joy. Then NiaIl, showing great strength of character, even in his early youth, took his mother from her menial task, and-restored her to her place. Of Niall's

 youth there are many legends but one in particular shows the working of his destiny. One day, the five brothers being

in the smith's forge when it took fire, they were commanded to run and save what they could. Their father, who was looking on (and who, say some, caused the fire to

 test his sons), observed with interest Neill's distinctiveness of character, his good sense and good judgment. While Brian saved the chariots from the fire, Ailill a shield 

and a sword, Fiachra the old forge trough, and Fergus only a bundle of .firewood.  Niall carried out the bellows, sledges, anvil, and anvil block.  This action saved the 

smith from ruin. Then his father said "It is Niall who should succeed me as Ard Righ of Eirinn.

Another story is called the Kiss of Sovereignty. Niall was on a hunting trip with his four brothers. One of the brothers went to gather water from a spring and there met 

a hideous hag who demanded a kiss. The boy ran away. The same thing happened to each brother in turn until Niall went to the spring. He kissed the old crone 

and one thing led to another. The old hag turned into a radiantly beautiful woman, who told Niall that she was the Sovereign of Ireland. Her ugliness was a sign that it 

was not easy to attain the kingship which he had just won.

Conn "of the hundred battles":  Conn's reign was full of battles, his strenuous militancy and suggestive title made him famed beyond worthier men. Conn's life was 

ended by his assassination at Tara by fifty robbers, who were hired by the King of Ulster, dressed as women.

In an Irish legend called Baile in Scail it tells of how Conn of the hundred battles discovered a marvelous stone, the Lia Fail which shrieked to signify the number of his

 descendants who would be kings. Conn lost his way in a mist and, guided by a rider, arrived at a castle in the Other world. There he met the lord of the castle (who 

was in fact the god Lugh) and beside him a beautiful girl. She sat on a throne of crystal and had beside her a silver vat which never ran dry of ale, a golden cup and 

another vessel of gold from which she gave Conn a generous helping of meat. Then she filled the golden cup and asked, "To whom shall this cup be given?" to which 

Lugh replied: "serve it to Conn of the hundred battles" As the girl repeatedly refilled Conn's cup she asked the same question and Lugh named in turn each of the kings 

who would be descended from Conn. Finally, Lugh, the girl and the castle all disappeared, leaving Conn with the golden vessels.
