NM 2 The World of Giants and Gods

The King Cycle is also known as the Historical Cycle. These tales are essentially about Kingship, the fortunes of Kings, and Kingship as a marriage between the King and the realm (and sometimes the goddess, a symbol of the land). Prosperity in the realm was intimately connected to the quality of the King. In addition the king was frequently bound by certain restrictions, called ‘geasa’. The more power you had the more this needed to be contained.

Fintan Mac Bochra, the first man to set foot on Ireland, following his wife, Cesaire, lived a long life; over five thousand years.

He saw the defeat of the magical Tuatha de Dannan at the hands of the Sons of Mil, and witnessed the great deeds of the Red Branch and the Fianna.
