2nd Monarch of Ireland
When Heremon died, he was succeeded by three of his four sons named Muimne, Luigne and Laighean, who reigned jointly for three years, and were slain by their Heberian successors.
The following is taken from Michael Raffin's notes on Prodigy:
Heremon and his eldest brother Heber were, jointly, the first Milesian
Monarchs of Ireland. They began to reign in A.M. 3500, or 1699 B.C. When
Heremon slew his brother, Heber, at Geshill in 1698 B.C., the third brother,
Amergin claimed an equal share of government. In a battle between them,
Amergin was slain by Heremon. Thus, Heremon became sole Monarch, ruled singly for fourteen years, and made a new division of the land among his friends and comrades: The South part, now called Munster, he gave to his brother Heber's four sons (Er, Orba, Feron and Fergna); the North part or Coigeadh Galian (now called Leinster), Heremon gave to Criomthann-sciath-bheil, one of his commanders; The West part (now called Connaught) Heremon gave to Un-Mac-Oigge, another of his commanders; allotting a part of Munster to Lughaidh (son of Ithe and first discoverer of Ireland). During Heremon's reign, a certain colony called "Cruithneaigh" (in English "Cruthneans") or Picts, arrived in Ireland and requested Heremon to assign them a part of the country to settle in, which he refused. Giving them as wives, the widows of the slain Tuatha-de-Danans, Heremon sent them with a strong party of his own to conquer the country then called "Alba", but now Scotland, conditionally that they should be tributary to the Monarchs of Ireland. From Heremon, the youngest of the three surviving brothers, are descended 114 sole Monarchs of Ireland, the provincial kings and Hermonian nobility and gentry of Leinster, Connaught, Meath, Orgiall, Tirowen, Tirconnell, and Clan-na-boy, as well as the kings of Dalriada, all of the kings of Scotland from Fergus Mor MacEarca down to the Stuarts and all of the kings and queens of England from Henry II to the present Died: 1683 BC in Ireland When Heremon died, he was succeeded by three of his four sons named Muimne, Luigne and Laighean, who reigned jointly for three years, and were slain by their Heberian successors. Married before 1700 BC: N?. Born: before 1715 BC in Spain -, son of Milesius of Spain and N? - Heremon is presumed to have been at least 15 years of age by the time his son Irial was born.
