Galióin, Gálioin, Gaileoin, Gáileóin, Gáilióin, Gailioin, Galeoin, Gálian, Galion, Galioin. Historical invaders of Ireland with mythic and legendary associations. Linked to the more prominent
Lagin, they settled in north
Leinster, especially in what is today counties Wicklow, Kildare, and Cavan, but they ranged as far to the west as Co. Mayo. In the pseudo-history
Lebor Gabála [Book of Invasions] the Galióin are a subdivision of the
Fir Bolg, under their king
Sláinge, who is killed at the great Leinster fortress
Dind Ríg (Co. Carlow). In the
Táin Bó Cuailnge [Cattle Raid of Cooley] Medb is awestruck by the might of 5,000 assembled Galióin and refuses them as allies, as they would likely gain greater glory. Fearful that as freebooters they might lay waste to her kingdom of
Connacht, she is about to have them slaughtered when her husband
Ailill objects.
Fergus mac Róich counsels that individual Galióin soldiers be scattered among her ranks, which is how they serve in the assault on
Ulster.
