Notes for Prince Eirhe Ahmon MacMelesius:1st High King of Eire.
Eremon was the seventh son of Milesius. Emher was his eldest brother. Joint rule in 3500. Eremhon killed Emhear and his wife in 3500 in a quarrel over territory, and ruled alone into 3516. During Eremon's reign alone, a ". . . colony called by the Irish 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; but, giving them as wives the widows of the Tuatha de-Danans, slain in battle, he sent them with a strong party of his own forces to conquer the country then called 'Alba,' but now Scotland; conditionally, that they and their posterity should be tributary, to the Monarchs of Ireland."
He and his eldest brother Heber were, jointly, the first Milesian Monarchs of Ireland; they began to reign, A.M. 3,500, or, Before Christ, 1699. After Heber was slain, B.C. 1698, Heremon reigned singly for fourteen years; during which time a certain colony called by the Irish 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; but, giving them as wives the widows of the Tuatha-de-Danans, slain in battle, he sent them with a strong party of his own forces to conquer the country then called "Alba," but now Scotland; conditionally, that they and their posterity should be tributary to the Monarchs of Ireland. Heremon died, B.C. 1683, and 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.
