Luccreth moccu Chíara

(fl. 7th century)

early Irish poet

See more (ascr.)

Old Irish poem (36st) attributed to Luccreth moccu Chíara, which traces the ancestry of Cú cen Máthair (d. 665), king of Munster and grandfather of Cathal mac Finguine, all the way back to Adam. A large part of the pedigree, from Míl to Adam, closely resembles that found in another Old Irish poem of a similar metrical type, beg. Énna Labraid luad cáich and dealing with Leinster kings. Myles Dillon has argued that these pedigrees represent (respectively) Munster and Leinster recensions of the same core material.

Middle or Early Modern Irish narrative, told in prose and verse, about St Brénainn moccu Altae (of Clonfert), who is here ranked among the Irish saints who studied under St Finnian at Clúain Eraird (Clonard), known collectively as the ‘twelve apostles of Ireland’. One day, when Finnian has convened the saints for a feast, a large magical flower from the Land of Promise (Tír Tairngire) appears to them. It ultimately falls to Brénainn to set out on a voyage to visit the land. The text goes on to relate some of the adventures of Brénainn and his companions.
