At the end of the year 327, the Collas returned, but with only twenty seven people. They were advised by a Druid to go to Muiedhach and scold him and "express evil words", so that he would kill them and the curse of the finghal would be on him. But Muiredhach did not oppose them, so they stayed with him and were loyal to him.

Father: Art Eanfhear "The Melancholy", King of Ireland, d. 195, became king 166 in Ireland, cause of death was the battle of Magh Mucruimhe.
He reigned for forty years. The Four Masters say that it was Cormac who collected the chronicles of Ireland, brought them to Tara, and ordered them to be written into one book which was named "The Psalter of Teamhair". In that book were entered the exploits and synchronisms of the kings of Ireland with the kings and emperors of the world. It also included descriptions of all the boundaries in Ireland from the kingdoms to the towns. It listed the rents and dues the provincial kings were entitled to receive from their subjects. In an ancient manuscript in Trinity College, Dublin, it is stated that the Irish chiefs would read, upon their inaugurations, the "Instructions of the Kings and His Laws", a book attributed to Cormac called Teagusc Na Righ.
In 241 thirty royal girls, along with a hundred maids each, were massacred at Cleanfearta, at Teamhair, by Dunlang, son of Enna Niadh, king of Leinster. Cormac put to death twelve princes of the Leinstermen in revenge, along with an increase of the Borumha (tax).
In the thirty ninth year of his reign, one of his eyes was put out, and his son and lawgiver killed, by a single thrust of a lance by Aenghus Gaibhuaibhtheach. He fought and won seven battles over the Deisi in revenge, and drove them out of their territory so they are now in Munster. Since the Brehon Law stated that the king must have no personal blemish, Cormac was obliged to vacate the throne. It is said that he retired to a monastery the following year and became a Christian.

Conn killed Cathaeir Mor to become king and reigned for twenty years. During Conn's rule Fionn mac Cumhail ended the Burning of Tara and became captain of the Fianna at the age of seventeen.
Conn (or Conall) got his nickname by killing one hundred other kings as revenge for the death of his foster brother, Cuchulain.

Crimhthann went on a famous expedition from which he brought back many valuable items, though he died on the return journey. Among these items were jewels, a golden chariot, a jewelled chess board, and the Cedach Crimhthainn, which was a cloak embroidered with gold. He also brought a sword inlaid with gold serpents, a shield with silver bosses, a spear the wound from which would never heal, a sling from which the stone never missed its target, and two greyhounds joined by a heavy silver chain.

Father: Fineamhuas
Mother: Clothru
Lughaidh became king of Ireland ABT 34 BC after Ireland had been without a king for five years.
It is said that Lughaidh was born with two red rings (one around his neck and one around his waist) which divided his body into three parts. From the neck up he resembled Nár, from the neck to the waist he resembled Bres, and below the waist he resembled Lothar; suggesting that he was the son of all three brothers instead of just one. It is further said that his mother also slept with him and provided his son Crimhthann, making her the grandmother of her own son.
Children:
Fineamhuas
Father: Eochaidh Feidhleach, King of Ireland, d. ABT 131 BC in Tara, Ireland
Mother: Cloithfinn
Fineamhuas is a variation of Findemna (or Finn Eamna), which means "fair triplets". Eochaidh Feidhleach had triplet sons named Bres, Nár and Lothar. The day before they went into battle against their father, and affraid they would die without heirs, their sister Clothru seduced them. It is not certain which of the brothers is the father of Lughaidh; it is said all three are.

Father: Finn mac Finnlogha
Eochaidh slew Fachtna Fathach to become king ABT 142 BC and reigned for twelve years. The husband of four of his daughters, Conchobar mac Nessa, was believed to be the son of Fachtna Fathach. He arranged the marriages in compensation for the death of Fachtna. Eochaidh's surname, Feidhleach, means "the enduring".
The Lebor Gabála synchronizes his reign with the dictatorship of Julius Caesar (48—44 BC), but the chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éireann dates his reign to 94—82 BC.

Some sources list Aenghus' father as Temrach or Eder Sal Teamrach, and jump over several of the generations listed here to Eochaidh Ailtleathan. He was called Aenghus Tuirmheach because the nobility of the race of Eremon are traced to him. The Annals of the Four Masters does not give his father's name, but the proposed lineage here contradicts the lineage given for Sirna Saeghlach in the Annals.

Father: Follaich
He was the thirteenth monarch of Ireland and reigned for seventy-five years. He killed Conmhael in the battle of Aenach Macha to become king in ABT 1621 BC.

Also jewely was covered with gold for the first time, and clothes were dyed purple, blue, and green. Nine lakes erupted, as well as Ireland's three black rivers: Fubha, Torann, and Callann.
After Tighernmas' death, Ireland was without a king for seven years, then Eochaidh Eadghadhach ruled for three years. It was Eochaidh who introduced the clothing color system to show rank. The clothes of slaves were of one color, those of soldiers were two colors, those of "goodly heroes" and young lords were three colors, those of Ollamhs were six colors, those of kings and queens were seven colors. Some believe this was the forerunner of the tartan.

Mother: Tea Tephi
He was the tenth monarch of Ireland and reigned for 10 years. After Irial's half brothers died, the sons of Eber Fionn, his uncle, ruled for half the year. At that time they were slain by Irial Faidh at the battle of Curl Marta. Nuadhat Neacht ruled for the other half year before Irial Faidh became king. This was about 1681 BC.

Children:
Eremon (Herremon), King of Ireland, d. ABT 1684 BC in Rath Beothaigh, Argat Ross, Ireland, m. Odhbha, bef. 1700 BC
Father: Mil, King of Spain
Mother: Scota, b. in Egypt, d. in Slieve Mis, Ireland, cause of death was battle wounds.
Eremon is one of the sons of Mil to lead an attack on Ireland. At that time Ireland was divided into five kingdoms. Three of these kingdoms were ruled by queens, each of whom submitted to the sons of Mil (Milesians) on the condition that their kingdoms would forever be called by their names. One of the queens, Eriu, is where Ireland gets the name Erin. (The Annals of the Four Masters gives a different story)
The other two kingdoms refused to submit and the Milesians were forced to fight the Tuatha de Danaan (too-ah day dan-un), first at Slieve Mis. They finally defeated the Tuatha de Danaan at Tailltin. Two of the wives of the Milesian chiefs died, as well as their mother, Scota. The women in Scythian society were warriors right along side the men, so it is not rare to hear of a chief's wife, daughter, or even mother being killed in battle. (This accepts the story that the Milesians were of Scythian descent)
After Erin was conquered, Eremon and his brother, Eber Fionn, divided the island into two kingdoms; Eremon ruling the north and Eber Fionn ruling the south. This is said to have occured around 1699 BC, though evidence indicates the mid twelfth century BC is more likely.
Spouse: Tea Tephi
Father: Lugaid, King of Munster
Mother: Fial
According to the theory of Anglo-Israelism, Tephi was the daughter of Zedekiah, King of Judah. However, very little of that theory holds up to comparisons with history or Irish and Scotish legends.
Married bef. 1700 BC in Spain.
Children:
Mil, King of Spain
Father: Bile
Mother: Buan
There is a great deal of confusion and debate about who Mil is and what his name was. Some sources refer to him as Gathelus, Miledh España, or Militus, who was in Egypt at the time of Moses and was exiled out of fear. Other sources say he was the son of a Greek ruler who was exiled from Greece for trying to kill his father and claim power. Still others suggest he was no one of great importance but that his son, Herremon, was in Jerusalem at the time of the Babylonian conquest and married the daughter of King Zedekiah (this Anglo-Israelistic view doesn't hold up under much investigation).
Most of the lineage given here is from the Book of Invasions. It is probably the oldest written history of the Irish people, even though it is not entirely accurate, having been written several hundred years after the events. Some is from the Annals of the Four Masters, which suffers the same problem though there is a version with corrected dates, this information is not from that edition. There is more information beyond Mil from the Pedigree of the Scottish Kings, but it is well known that King Constantine I of Scotland concocted that story by combining the Pictish history with that of the Irish to connect the line of Scotish kings with Noah. This was done to convince the world that Scotland was not only an ancient kingdom, but that its kings ruled by Divine right. Unfortunately, his dating was based on the false belief that the sons of Mil were the Celtic "invasion" from Spain in the sixth and early fifth centuries BC, causing him to add far too many generations and throwing the dates off several hundred years.
Spouse: Scota, b. in Egypt, d. in Slieve Mis, Ireland, cause of death was battle wounds.
Some sources claim Scota was the daughter of Pharoah Necho, however, this is unlikely.
It is believed that from her the Scots get their name; the land was called Scotia until the Vikings began calling it Ireland (land of the Eiri), but the name stuck to the Irish settlements in Alba (now Scotland).
