Cairenn, Caireann [cf. L
Carina]. Secondary wife, captured slave, of
Eochaid Mugmedón and mother of
Niall Noígiallach [of the Nine Hostages] and thus an ancestress of the
Uí Néill dynasty. Also called Cairenn Chasdub [of the dark curly hair]. She was a daughter of Sachall Balb [
balb, stammerer, foreigner] of the Britons. Because she was hated by Eochaid's queen,
Mongfhind, she had to draw water for the household in her pregnancy until she delivered Niall.
See Echtra Mac nEchach Muigmedóin [The Adventure of the Sons of Eochaid Mugmedón].
