Headed Scandlan Mor cecinit. A Scandlán Mór, king of Osraige, is known from the annals and Columban traditions surrounding the convention of Druim Cett, at which time he must have been a child. However, since there is nothing obvious to connect the poem with this personage, it is assumed that a distinct person, perhaps a poet of the Middle Irish period, is intended here.
