Ethriel

Ethriel

Ethriel, son of Íriel Fáid, according to medieval Irish legends and historical traditions, succeeded his father as High King of Ireland. During his reign he cleared six plains. He ruled for twenty years, until he was killed in the Battle of Rairiu by Conmáel in revenge for his father Éber Finn, who had been killed by Ethriel's grandfather Érimón. He was the last of the chieftains who arrived in the invasion of the sons of Míl to rule Ireland. The "Lebor Gabála Érenn" says that during his reign Tautanes, king of Assyria, died (1182 BC according to Jerome's "Chronicon"), as did Hector and Achilles (the Trojan War is usually dated to the 13th century BC), and Samson was king of the Tribe of Dan in ancient Israel.

Stewart Macalister (ed. & trans.), "Lebor Gabála Érenn: The Book of the Taking of Ireland" Part V, Irish Texts Society, 1956, pp. 195-199, 431] Geoffrey Keating dates his reign from 1259 to 1239 BC, [D. Comyn & P. S. Dinneen (ed .& trans.), "The History of Ireland by Geoffrey Keating", Irish Texts Society, 1902-1914, [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100054/text035.html Book 1 Chapter 25] ] the "Annals of the Four Masters" from 1671 to 1651 BC BC.
