General Notes

Heber Fionn (Heber Fionn, King of Ireland) was the first Milesian Monarch of
Ireland, cojointly with his brother Heremon. From Heber, the eldest brother,
are descended the provincial kings of Munster (of whom 88 were sole Monarch of Ireland), and most of the mobility and gentry of Munster and many noble
families of Scotland. Heber and Heremon were the Chief leading men remaining
of the eight sons of Milesuis. They divided the kingdom between them
(allotting a portion of land to their brother Amergin, who served as their
Arhc-priest, Durid and Magician; and to their nephew, Heber Donn, and to the
rest of their chief commanders).

The two brothers became the first of 184 Kings or Sole Monarchs of the Gaelic, Milesian, or Scottish race, that ruled or governed Ireland from the first year of their reign in Anno Mundi 3500, to the submission to the Crown of England in the person of King Henry the Second, who, being also of the Milesian Race by Maude his mother, was lineally descended from Fergu Mo'r MacEarca, first King of Scotland, who was descended from Heremon. Thus, the Irish can claim a royal bloodline which lasted from the year 1699 BC to the present time. Heber and Heremon ruled jointly for one year only, when, upon a difference between their ambitious wives, they quarreled and fought a battle at Ardcath or Geshill (Geashill, near Tullamore in the King's County), where Heber was slain by Heremon. The Milesians of the race of Heber Fionn possessed the greater part of Munster. The descendants of Ithe, the Uncle of Milesius of Spain, also possessed in early times a great part of that province. The race of Heber furnished most of the Kings of Munster and many of them also were Monarchs of Ireland. the Heberians were called "Deirgtheine", after one of their ancient kings of that name. The Ithians were called "Dairine", from one of their Kings so named.

Heber Fionn is presumed to have been at least 10 years of age when he was killed.
