NIALL OF THE NINE HOSTAGES

 

Niall Noígíallach which

Translates to "having nine hostages",

Was a legendary Irish King

His reign lasted from the late 4th

To the early 5th centuries,

He is placed in the traditional

List of High Kings of Ireland

Legend has it that he secured his line

By kissing the “loathly lady”

King Niall died in 405AD
