Firbolg [continued] page 2. From the "Annals of Clonmacnoise": " This sept was called Ffirvolge ; there were five brothers that were their chieftains, the sounes of Dela mac Loich, that first divided Ire- land into five provinces." After the battle of Conans Tower, the Fomorians nearly decimated the decimated the Nemedians? 30 Nemedians 1000 ships became the Firbolg and Dananns? the whole race seriously reduced? or just the Tory Island population? just the Ireland population? Keating says 10 Nemedians remained in Ireland. The following is confusing: From the Annals of the Four Masters at "the Age of the world 3066" "and they nearly all mutually fell by each other" ; thirty persons alone of the race of Neimhidh escaped to different quarters of the world, and they came to Ireland some time afterwards as Firbolgs. Two hundred and sixteen years' Neimhidh and his race remained in Ireland. After this Ireland was a wilderness for a period of two hundred years" Are you a descendant of these Ireland Ancestors ?? =welcome>about>help> back(to"start")>(back(to"Greece")>Firbolg>continued

More on the Firbolg Historian Mac Firbis 1650, summerizes the following stereotype from "an old book" of poetry: "Everyone who is black-haired, who is a tattler, guileful, tale-telling, noisy, contemptable; every wretched, mean, stolling, unsteady, harsh, and inhospitable person; every slave, every mean theif, every churl, everyone who loves not to listen to music and entertainment, the disturbers of every council and every assembly, and the promoters of discord amoung people, these are the descendants of the Firbolgs, of the Gailiuns of Liogairne, and of the Fir Domhnanns, in Erinn. But, however, the descendnats of the Firbolgs are the most numerous of all these." Who were these (related?) people catagories? Add your opinion or research to the topic and contact us.
