| Notes |
- 13th Monarch of Ireland
Reigned 77 years; according to Keating, 50 years. He fought 27 battles with the followers of the family of Heber Fionn, all which he gained. In his reign gold was mined near Liffey, and skillfully worked by Inchadhan. This King also made a law that each grade of society should be known by the number of colors in its wearing apparel: -- the clothes of a slave should be of one color; those of a soldier two; the dress of a commanding officer to be of three colors; a gentleman's dress, who kept a table for the gree entertainment of strangers, to be of four colors; five colors to be allowed to the nobility (the chiefs); and the King, Queen, and Royal Family, as well as the Druids, historians, and other learned men to wear six colors.
This King died, on the eve of 1 Nov 1543 BC, with two-thirds of the people of Ireland, at Magh Sleaght (or Field of Adoratoin), in the county of Leitrim, as he was adoring the Sun-God, Crom Cruach. Historians say this Monarch was the first who introduced image worship in Ireland. This idol was worshipped up to the time of St. Patrick, by whom it was destroyed. Among the idol-worship of
the ancient Irish at that time was that of the sun; the sun-worship which was that of the Magi or wise men of the East, who, we are told in Scripture, were led to Bethlehem by divine inspiration to see the Infant Jesus.
[d. 1 Nov 1543 BC]
