The clan is the subject of the ancient Irish poem ''The Albantic Duan'': Tri mec Ere mec Eaclulach ait, Triar fuair beannachtair Patraicc, Ghabhsad Albain, ard it n-gus, Loarn, Fearghus, is Aonglius. Dech m-bliadhna Loarn, ler bladh, I fflaitheas Oirir Alban, Tar es Loarn i'hel go n-gns, Seacht m-bliadlina licbeat Fearghus. ; Translation: Three sons of Erc the son of Eochy the joyous, Three who got the blessing of Patrick, Seized Alban ; great was their courage, Lorn, Fergus, and Angus.
