Maenghal the Pilgrim

Maenghal the Pilgrim, Irish poet, fl. 844.

Upon the death of King Niall Caille in 844, Maenghal, the pilgrim, said:

• Take with thee the total destruction of Niall,
• who was not a judge without judgment;
• To the King of heaven let him make submission,
• that he may make smooth for him every difficulty.
• Niall was drowned,
• Niall was good;
• Niall in the sea,
• Niall in fire,
• Niall without death.
