"Tigernmas fought 27 battles with the followers of the family of HeberFionn, all which he won. In his reign gold was mined near the Liffey, andskillfully worked by Inchadhan.
This King also made a law that each grade of society should be known bythe number of colors in its wearing apparel: the clothes of a slaveshould be of one color; those of a soldier of two; the dress of acommanding officer to be of three colors; a gentleman's dress, who kept atable for the free entertainment of strangers, to be of four colors; fivecolors to be allowed to the nobility; and the King, Queen, and RoyalFamily, as well as the druids, historians, and other learned men to wearsix colors.
Tigernmas was the first to introduce idolatry into this country, about100 years after the Milesians arrived. This monarch set up the famousidol called Crom Cruach (the crooked heap) on the plain of Magh Sleaght,now Fenagh, in Co. Leitrim. This idol was worshipped up to the time of StPatrick, by whom it was destroyed. Among the idol worship of the ancientIrish at that time was that of the sun. The king died at Magh Sleactha,and three parts of his subjects died with him the same night, whileworshipping his idol, Crom Cruach."
