Earliest Panoply Attainment

Eanna Airgthioch who succeeded to the throne was the first to have silver shields made, at Airgeadros, and bestowed mi the men of Ireland. The succeeding reigns present little of note except that in the third, that of Fiachaidh Fionn-Scothach, wine flowers were pressed into goblets. Which brings us to Muineamhon, the first king to decree that collars of gold be worn round their necks by the nobles of Ireland. He died of the plague at Magh Aidne and was succeeded by Ailldeargoid who reigned for seven years. In his time gold rings were first put on the fingers of the nobles in Ireland. He was slain by Ollamh Fodla.
