NIALL MOR; "Niall of The Nine Hostages"; He took royal hostages from nine countries which he subdued and made tributary. They were four Ireland provinces plus Britain, the Picts, the Dalriads, the Saxons, and
the Morini, a people of France. He marched deep into France to aid the native Celts in expelling the Roman Eagles, and thus conquer that portion of the Roman Empire. He was killed for revenge by the son of the king of Leinster on the banks of the river Lianne, near Boulogne-sur-mer. Niall ordained that "Alba" be forever known as "Scotia Minor", (Scotland).
