Notes

"A New History of Ireland".

He was known as "Niall of the Nine Hostages". The Four Masters reckon

him as the 126th Monarch of Ireland. He is said to have brought St.

Patrick to Ireland as a captive from Britain or Gaul.

The annals say that he died in 405, but modern research has shown that

this is almost certainly an erroneous result of calculating backwards

using the traditional regnal lengths of contemporary kings as if they

were successors, and that his date of death was more likely about 453;
