| Description    = [[property::Aetiology|Origin tale]] of the [[Éoganachta]]. It first relates how the sons of their eponymous ancestor Éogan arrived and settled in Ireland, how Éogan (the father or one of his sons) saved the population from starvation, and how Éogan's son was chosen to be king. Their peaceful ascendancy is then contrasted with an origin tale of the [[Dál Cuinn]] (called children of the "second Míl Espáine"), who are said to have ruled Ireland by the sword. In the north of the island, they alternately shared the kingship with the [[Cruthin]] until Conn Cétchathach defeated them in a series of battles. The situation was reversed when Fiachu Araide, from whom sprang the Dál Araide, expelled Conn's grandson Cormac mac Airt from Tara. Cormac fled to Munster, where he became a vassal of Fiachu Muillethan, Éogan's great-grandson, in return for his assistance against Fiachu Araide. Fiachu Muillethan defeated the latter in battle. Cormac was thereby restored to the kingship and granted the lands settled by the Ciannachta to Fiachu Muillethan, who passed them on to Connla mac Taidg.

==Description==
==Description==
<!--- The sons of Éogan Táidlech ('The Shining'), also known as Mug Núadat and Éogan Fitheccach, come with a large 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 wealth of the newcomers so much impress the men of Ireland that they take Éogan into fosterage in return for handsome fosterage fees. --->
