Ireland, Niall Noigallach Mor King of (b. 225, d. 378)

Note: Notes
Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (170:3).
"A New History of Ireland".

He was known as "Niall of the Nine Hostages". The Four Masters reckon him as the 126th Monarch of Ireland. He is said to have brought St. Patrick to Ireland as a captive from Britain or Gaul.

The annals say that he died in 405, but modern research has shown that this is almost certainly an erroneous result of calculating backwards using the traditional regnal lengths of contemporary kings as if they were successors, and that his date of death was more likely about 453; see Byrne's "Irish Kings and High Kings".

O'Rahilly's "Early Irish History and Mythology": The extant Irish traditions of raids on Roman Britain begin with Niall's father, Eochu Mugmedon. We are told that in a raid on Britain (Alba) Eochu carried off a lady named Cairenn, whom he made his wife, and who by him became mother of Niall. Now this name Cairenn appears to be otherwise unknown in Irish literature. It can hardly be mere coincidence that it has its exact counterpart in the Latin woman's name Carina, which, borrowed into Irish would have given Old Irish Cairenn. Accordingly I have no hesitation in accepting as trustworthy the tradition of the British origin of Niall's mother. Keating makes her 'daughter of the king of the Britons,' and elsewhere she is 'daughter of the king of the Old Saxons.' Corrupt forms of the last expression apparently led to the invention of a name for her father; and so we find her described as 'ingen Sacheill Bailb di Saxanaib,' 'ingen Saxaill Bailb ri Saxan,' and 'ingen Sgail Bailb ri Saxan,' in which the epithet Balb appears to have been borrowed from the mythical name Scal Balb ('dumb phantom').
