Tuatha Taiden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tuatha Taiden were a branch of the Fir Ol nEchmacht, one of the ancient peoples of Ireland.

The kingdom of Tuatha Taiden extended from Fidach eastwards to and across the Shannon towards Tara, and was probably co-extensive with Hy-Many at its greatest extent.
