Seanchus of Celtic Ireland - 18 1699 BC 1699 BC Meanwhile, back in Ireland, Fiacha the previous Tuatha De Danann King had been succeeded by 3 - three brothers, mac Cuill, mac Cecht and mac Greine who were to be the last of the Tuatha De Danann Kings of Tara / Ireland who had reigned co - jointly for 30 years, each acting as the over - King in succession for one year at a time. The Queen of mac Greine was Eriu, mac Cuill / Banbha and mac Cecht / Fodhla who all gave their names to Ireland at one time as each husband took his turn at ruling. Eriu's husband mac Greine was to be in control when the Gaelic Celts also descended from *12.Magog and directly from *16.Gael "Glas" were to arrive during this year. These particular Gaels would become known later on as the Gaelic Milesian Celts as they were descended through their male line descendant, *36.Gallamh / warrior - the Celtic Hero of Spain who was to have a name change in Ireland as he would later be known by the Irish monks in the universal language of the time - Latin - as *36.Mil / from Milidh / Milesius / warrior. His father was *35.Bile and his grandfather, *34.Breoghan, and both had been the Gaelic Kings of Andalusia, Brigia, Galicia and Murcia now known in more modern times as Castile and Portugal. *36.Mil himself had also returned at one time to Scythia and then to Spain where he went into service to the Scythian King Reafloir and married his daughter, Seang and they produced 2 - two sons, and after she died the old King, Reafloir, became jealous of *36.Mil and had intended to kill him but instead *36.Mil was able to turn the tables and kill him instead. Because of this he and his Gaelic followers had to flee back to Egypt and he took along their 2 - two sons, 37.Heber "Donn" - of Brown Complexion and 37.Airoch "Feabhruadh" and on arriving in Egypt he went into service for the Pharaoh, Nectanebus and was able to defeat the Ethiopians on his behalf in battle. He too married the Pharaoh's daughter also known as Scota who would later on give her name to both Ireland and Scotland and while there they produced another 2 - two sons of their own, *37.Heber "Fionn" - of the Fair Hair and 37.Amergin who became an Ollamh / Learned One. In time the Gaels once again came up against the same situation as their original Gaelic ancestors and *36.Mil too then had to flee from Egypt with his Gaelic followers and another son, *37.Ir was born to them on the island of Irena near Thrace, and again another, 37.Colpa was born on the island of Gotia. 37.Arannan was born in Galicia. *36.Mil finally returned to Spain with his Gaels where he was to go up against and defeat the Teutonic Goths and earn his title - epithet as, "The Celtic Hero of Spain."*35.Ithe, who was also a son of *34.Breogain and an uncle to*36.Mil, was made aware that across the Ocean from Spain there was to be found the furthest known Western Isle / Inis Ealga, on which there were "no serpents existing" and remembering the promise of Moses to his ancestor, *16.Gael "Glas" and with 90 of his Gaelic followers he set out to find it, landing at a spot that later became known as Magh Ithe / The Plain of Ithe near Laggan in Co. Donegal in the north - west of the Ulster Province. On going ashore they headed north and reached the fort of Aileach in Co. Derry in the north - east of Ulster where they came upon mac Cecht, mac Cuill and mac Greine the 3 reigning Tuatha De Danann Kings, (The Grianan of Aileach was originally constructed there by the Fir Bolg and is on the Inishowen Peninsula between Loch Swilly and Loch Foyle.) The 3 Tuatha De Danann Kings had met there to bury their previous De Danann King and divide up the kingdom between them, but they could not agree and they asked 35.Ithe to advise them and he told them to act according to the laws of justice. He then began raving on about Ireland stating what a great Country it was and on hearing him go on so they became concerned that he might have ideas about taking over Ireland for himself so they conspired to do him an injury as a warning. As he was leaving the country at Magh Ithe he was severely wounded and the Tuatha De Danann Kings then allowed his followers to take him and leave and *36.Lewy / Lughaidh his son put him on board his ship but he was to die at sea and his body was then taken back to Spain and when they arrived there his death naturally incited his Gaelic Celtic kinsmen to avenge his demise. *36.Mil too had only just died before *36.Lewy / Lughaidh had returned with his father’s body, but an expedition was quickly put together to go to this "Far Western Isle" and they all set out in their long crafts taking with them their heavy Iron swords. This fairly large Gaelic expedition to Inis Ealga was carried out under the direction of *36.Mil’s wife, Scota and his 8 sons, including the eldest 37.Heber "Donn" 37.Colpa and 37.Amergin of the Fair Knee who was a judge and an Ollamh. Another son, *37.Ir was to become the ancestor of the Gaelic Milesian Irian Septs, another *37.Heber "Fionn"- of Fair Complexion the direct ancestor of the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Septs and another *37.Heremon the direct ancestor of the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Septs. 35.Ithe through 36.Lewy / Lughaidh was to become the direct ancestor of the Ithian and Darinian Septs in Southern Munster.After setting sail for Ireland with a host of their Gaelic followers in 30 long craft with 36 Chiefs and all of their warriors and their father’s cousin, *36.Lewy / Lughaidh, the son of 35.Ithe, to avenge his death, they landed at the mouth of the River Slaney / Slainge in Co. Wexford in the south - east of Southern Leinster from where they made their way inland to Tara in the Midlands / Mide / Meath / Northern Leinster, which was then still the Royal Seat of the Tuatha De Danann Kings. Along the way they met up with Banbha the Queen of mac Cuill who asked them if they were to conquer Ireland would they call it after her and they agreed. Further on they came upon Fodhla the Queen of mac Cecht and she too made the same request and they once again agreed. On reaching the centre of Ireland at Uisnech they came upon Eriu the Queen of mac Greine who had been expecting their arrival with a positive attitude and also requested the same, which was to come about changed to Eire. 37.Amergin said that as she was now the ruling Queen that her name would definitely be Ireland's principal name and Eriu, which became Erinn in its genitive form is the one that has survived. +On to the Seanchus of Celtic Ireland - 19
