In gratitude, Robert gave Cormac a piece of the Stone of Destiny, which Cormac's descendants installed in his castle it resides there to this day, as the Blarney Stone. In 1314, the Irish lord Cormac Maccarthy allied with Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn, helping him defeat the English. Culen's son, Constantine, also had Irish troops at the Battle of Rathveramoen. His son Culen went with him, and after Indulf's death, Culen led an Irish army against Scotland in the Battle of Gaine to reclaim the Scottish throne, where he was successful. In the 10th Century, Indulf fled to Ireland from Scotland after losing the throne. Upon his death, Cu Chullain was entombed in Cairn na Chullain.Īround the year 500, an Irish prince named Fergus took one half of the Stone of Destiny with him to Scotland. When Ireland was suffering from the wrath of the Banshee, Cu Chullain and his faithful Hound defeated her. Cu Chullain was accompanied by the Hound of Ulster, a member of the Irish Clan. He angrily split the Stone of Destiny in half after it refused to recognize Lugaid Red-Stripe as High King of Ireland. In the 1st Century, Cu Chullain lived in Ireland as one of its greatest heroes. Eochaid set up the Stone at Tara and called it the Lia Fáil. In another version of the tale, also told by Shari, the Stone arrived in Ireland with the prophet Jeremiah, who gave it to King Eochaid as a dowry for Princess Tamar Tea Tephi. Two sons, Eremon and Eber Finn survived and soon after Eremon was the first High King of Ireland to be crowned upon the Stone of Destiny at Tara. Upon landing in Ireland, Scota and one of her sons were killed in battle. According to one story by Shari, the Stone arrived in Ireland in the company of Scota and the three surviving sons of the Gathelus. In ancient times, the High Kings of Ireland were crowned upon the Stone of Destiny (which they called the Lia Fáil). Ireland is an island in north-western Europe and a home to the Three Races since antiquity.
