"Heremon
The river Liffey, near Dublin, derived its name from the death ofHeremon's horse (Liffe) at the battle between the Milesians and theTuatha-de-Danas.
He and his eldest brother Heber were, jointly, the first MilesianMonarchs of Ireland; they began to reign 1699 BC. The quarreled andfought a pitched battle at Ardeat, now Geashill, near Tulamore, in theKing's Country. After Heber was slain in this battle (1698 BC), Heremonreigned singly for 14 years.
During his reign a certain colony called Cruthneans or Picts arrived inIreland and requested Heremon to assign them a part of the country tosettle in, which he refused; but, giving them as wives the widows of theTuatha-de-Danans, slain in battle, he sent them with a strong party ofhis own forces to conquer the country Scotland; conditionally, that theyand their posterity should be tributary to the Monarchs of Ireland.Heremon died (1683 BC) at his palace at Argoidross (Rathbeagh), near theriver Nore and was buried in a sepulcher mound. He was succeeded by threeof his four sons, named Muimne, Luigne, and Laighean, who reigned jointlyfor 3 years, but were slain by their Heberian successors at the battle ofArd Laahran.

"THE MILESIAN IRISH GENEALOGIES. Most of the Irish are descended from oneof the three sons of Milesius who had issue. These are the Milesiangenealogies.
Before writing was widespread in Ireland, a class of men were trained tomemorize the hereditary history of their clan and all the descendantsfrom the founder or progenitor without error or ommission. They werecalled "filads".
King Cormac Mac Art, in the third century of the Christian era, orderedthe history of the Irish nation to be compiled. This work was called "ThePsalter of Tara". From this and other more recent works, "The Psalter ofCashel" was written in the ninth century. The original of this is in aLondon museum." ..........
