The king-tales
A number of annals have been expanded to include short narratives about the careers of kings, such as Suibne Menn, Fínnachta Fledach, Máelshechnaill mac Máele Ruanaid and Cerball mac Dúnlainge. The following titles do not occur in the text of the Fragmentary Annals, but they have been adopted from Dan M. Wiley's overview of the early Irish king-tales.(1)n. 1 Dan M. Wiley, ‘An introduction to the early Irish king tales’ in Essays on the early Irish king tales... (2008). Some of them are also found in the Mionannála.
