- David F. Dale in "The History Of The Scots, The Picts And The Britons"reports
Bregon was a Scythian noble who was expelled from Egypt and , with aparty of Scythians & Egyptians (perhaps also Greeks) , eventually settledin "Spain". An uncle Ith saw Ireland from a tower he had built, wentover to instigate, got involved in arbitrating in a dispute between threebrothers, rivals for the High Kingship, and was later killed by them.
As a result the sons of Milid crossed over to Ireland and defeated theTuatha de Dannan who became the sidhe of legend and who from then onlived under ground in Ireland.
The area of "Spain" the sons of Milid came from was Brigantia perhapsin Southern Scotland and Northern England not "Spain".
