1. LAEGHAIRE LORC1 O'CONNOR-FALEY-NO.8 was born in Ireland, and died Deceased in 591BC in Ireland.
Notes for LAEGHAIRE LORC O'CONNOR-FALEY-NO.8:
Laeghaire Lorc, son of Ugaine Mor, of the Line of Heremon, was 68th Monarch of Ireland. Began his reign in 593 BC. Laeghaire, the ancestor of all the Leinster Heremonians, ordered the execution of Badhbhchadh who slayed his father Ugaine thereby preventing him achieving the fruits of his murder. (Irish Pedigrees by John O'Hart, Published in 1892 by James Duffy & Co. Ltd. Dublin.)
Muirchu's Vita Patricii (7th Century) describes Loegaire, St. Patrick's alleged contemporary, as 'a great king, fierce and pagan, and emperor of non-Romans, with his royal seat at Tara, which was then the capital of the realm of the Irish'. (The Oxford Illustrated History of Ireland edited by R F Foster - Oxford University Press 1989).
Also called Laery. He inherited the kingdom from his father, but Covac (his brother), consumed and sick with envy, sought to Slay him, and asked the advice of a Druid as to how this could be managed, since Laery, justly suspicious, never would visit him without an armed escort. The druid bade him feign death, and have word sent to his brother that he was on his bier ready for burial. This Covac did, and when Laery arrived and bent over the supposed corpse Covac stabbed him to the heart, and slew also one of his sons, Ailill (pronounced 'E;-yill'), who attended him. Thus Covac ascended the throne, and straightway his illness left him. (Celtic - Myths and Legends - T W Rolleston [Senate Press 1994])

Also called Ailill (pronounced 'E-yill'). His father Laeghaire Lore, or Laery, inherited the kingdom from his father, but Covac (or Cobhthach) King of Bregia, Laery's brother, consumed and sick with envy, sought to slay him, and asked the advice of a Druid as to how this could be managed, since Laery, justly suspicious, never would visit him without an armed escort. The druid bade him feign death, and have word sent to his brother that he was on his bier ready for burial. This Covac did, and when Laery arrived and bent over the supposed corpse Covac stabbed him to the heart. At the same time Covac slew also one of Laery's sons, Ailill (pronounced 'E-yill'), who attended him. Thus Covac ascended the throne, and straightway his illness left him.

Also called Maon.
Maon, as a child, was brought into Covac's presence, and was compelled, says Keating, to swallow a portion of his father's and grandfather's hearts, and also a mouse with her young. From the disgust he felt, the child lost his speech, and seeing him dumb, and therefore innocuous, Covac let him go. The boy was then taken into Munster, to the kingdom of Feramorc, of which Scoriath was king, and remained with him some time, but afterwards went to Gaul, his great-grandmother Kesair's country, where his guards told the king he was heir to the throne of Ireland, and he was treated with great honour and grew up into a noble youth. But he left behind him in the heart of Moriath, daughter of the King of Feramorc, a passion that could not be stilled, and she resolved to bring him back to Ireland. She accordingly equipped her father's harper, Craftiny, with many rich gifts, and wrote for him a love-lay, in which her passion for Maon was set forth, and to which Craftiny composed an enchanting melody. Arrived in France, Craftiny made his way to the king's court, and found occasion to pour out his lay to Maon. So deeply stirred was he by the beauty and passion of the song that his speech returned to him and he broke out in praises of it, and thenceforth was dumb no more.
The King of Gaul then equipped him with an armed force and sent him to Ireland to regain his kingdom. Learning that Covac was at a place near at hand named Dinrigh, Maon and his body of Gauls made a sudden attack upon him and slew him there and then, with all his nobles and guards. After the slaughter a Druid of Covac's company asked one of the Gaul's who their leader was. "The Marriner" (Longseach), replied the Gaul, meaning the captain of the fleet- i.e. Maon. "Can he speak?" inquired the Druid, who had begun to suspect the truth. "He does speak" (Labraidh), said the man; and henceforth the name of "Labra the Marriner" clung to Maon son of Ailill, nor was he known by any other. He then sought out Moriath, wedded her, and reigned over Ireland for ten years.
From this invasion of the Gauls the name of the province of Leinster is traditionally derived. They were armed with spears having broad blue-green iron heads called 'laighne' (pronounced 'lyna'), and as they were allotted lands in Leinster and settled there, the province was called in Irish 'Laighin ('Ly-in') after them - the Province of the Spearmen. ('ster' is of Norse origin).
Of Labra the Marriner, after his accession, a curious tale is told. He was accustomed, it is said, to have his hair cropped but once a year, and the man to do this was chosen by lot, and was immediately afterwards put to death. The reason for this was that, like King Midas in the similar Greek myth, he had long ears like those of a horse, and he would not have this deformity known. Once it fell however, that the person chosen to crop his hair was the only son of a poor widow, by whose tears and entreaties the king was prevailed upon to let him live, on condition that he swore by the Wind and the Sun to tell no man what he might see. The oath was taken, and the young man returned to his mother. But by-and-by the secret so preyed on his mind that he fell into a sore sickness, and was near death, when a wise druid was called to heal him. "It is the secret that is killing him," said the Druid, "and he will never be well till he reveals it. Let him therefore go along the high-road till he come to a place where the four roads meet. Let him there turn to the right, and the first tree he shall meet on the road, let him tell his secret to that, and he shall be rid of it and recover." So the youth did; and the first tree was a willow. He laid his lips close to the bark, whispered his secret to it, and went home, light-hearted as of old. But it chanced that shortly after this the harper Craftiny broke his harp and needed a new one, and his luck would have it the first suitable tree he came to was the willow that had the king;s secret. He cut it down, made his harp from it, and performed that night as usual in the king's hall; when, to the amazement of all, as soon as the harper touched the strings the assembled guests heard them chime the words, "Two horse's ears hath Labra the Marriner." The king then, seeing the secret was out, plucked off his hood and showed himself plainly; nor was any man put to death again on account of this mystery. We have seen that the compelling power of Craftiny's music had formerly cured Labra's dumbness. The sense of something magical in music, as though supernatural powers spoke through it, is of constant recurrence in Irish legend. (Celtic - Myths and Legends - T W Rolleston [Senate Press])

Ollamh. Of the seven grades of fili or poet, the ollamh was the highest grade and therefore the highest dignitary among the bards.

Notes for BREASSAL O'CONNOR-FALEY-NO.8:
Breassal, son of AEneas Ollamh.
The following does not necessarily apply to this individual:
Breasal. The High King of the World. He is said to have built Barc Bresail in Leinster, a formidable fortress which was eventually destroyed by the High King Tuathal Teachtmhaire during his war on Eochaidh of Leinster. Breasal lived in the West and his country was known as Hy-Brasil and sometimes as O'Brasil. In later folklore Hy-Brasil became a legendary Atlantic island which was only visible every seven years. Anyone who looked on it when it was visible would die. It was suggested that it was a sunken land of which the Aran Islands were a remnant. Ruairi O'Flaithearta, writing his 'A Choregraphical Description of West of H-Iarr Connaught (London, 1684), told of a man named O'Ley who claimed to have been kidnapped and taken to the island. The name of Hi-Brasil appeared on maps as a real place. A. Dalorto (circa AD 1325), the Genoese cartographer, placed it in the latitudes south of Ireland. So fixed in peoples minds was Hy-Brasil as a reality that when explorers came to South America they thought they had found the legendary country and thus gave the name Brazil to the land they discovered.
