Éogan arrives in Ireland

The sons(?) of Éogan Taídlech ('The Shining'), also known as Mug Núadat and Éogan Fitheccach, come with a fleet to Ireland and make landfall at Inber Colpthai, the mouth of the River Boyne. They are met by the men of Ireland, with whom they exchange silver for food. The men of Ireland are impressed with the wealth of the newcomers and take Éogan into fosterage in return for a handsome fosterage fee.
