I. The Prehistoric Section-From the seventh century onwards, Irish monks were involved in manufacturing a history for themselves to fill the gap between biblical history and (their) modern history. As a result, any competent medieval Irish historian could trace the supposed genealogy of any of the modern kings of Irish descent back to Adam, through fabulous, then biblical antecedents. This has been done, for interest's sake only, as this section has no historical reliability. I have, here, given the names as they appear in early Irish documents, and adopted, of the many possible versions, that from various sections of the twelfth-century Irish manuscript known as Rawlinson B. 502.

At http://nlt.rootsweb.com/notebooks/nowlin/ancient_lineage.html: "Was the immediate ancestor of the Irish Nation. He made several long voyages, on one of which to Scythia he obtained Seaug, the daughter of the king. His second wife was Scota, daughter of Pharoah Nectonebus. On another of his expeditions he discovered Ireland and settled there."
