The Mairtine (Martini, Marthene, Muirtine, Maidirdine, Mhairtine) were an important people of late prehistoric Munster, Ireland, who by early historical times appear to have completely vanished from the Irish political landscape. They are notable for their former capital, ''Medón Mairtine'', becoming the chief church of the later Eóganachta, namely Emly. ==Mairtine mac Sithcheann== Geoffrey Keating's ''History of Ireland'' includes the following section, which may refer to the eponymous ancestor:
This would make Mairtine mac Sithcheann a gr-gr-gr-gr-grandson of Breogán mac Brath, mythical king of Galicia. Breogan's grandson, Míl Espáine, was the father and uncle of the first Goidelic people to settle in Ireland. Eochu Apthach, Mairtine's gr-gr-gr-grandson, is given as a member of the Corcu Loígde. His reign is variously given as the 6th/5th, 7th, or 8th, century BC. However, it is nowhere explicitly stated that Mairtine mac Sithcheann was the eponym of the Mairtine people. Plus, the Mairtine people are accorded status of Fir Bolg, who were predecessors of the Gaels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mairtine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
