Comments(2) The Fianna were the army of the High King.
Fionn Mac Cumhaill was leader of the Fianna. Other famous members were Fionn’s son, Oisín and Oisín’s son, Oscar.
The Fianna lived by their motto:
- Glaine in ár gcroíthe (Goodness in our hearts)
- Neart in ár ngéaga (Strength in our limbs)
- Beart de réir ár mbriathar (Truth on our lips)
Before a young man could join the Fianna he had to be master of many skills.
