This presentation examines traditions of the prehistoric kings of Ireland - Fothad Airgthech and Fothad Cairptech - in the context of the narrative and genealogical tradition of the Three Fothaid. We consider various genealogies, focusing primarily on the tradition linking the Fothaid to the North of Ireland and representing them as the descendants of Conall Cernach in the context of the story of the death of Fothad Airgthech (as told in the tale of Mongán).
