Sláine 1. Sláinge,
Slangia [Ir.
sláine]. Son of
Partholón in the pseudo-history
Lebor Gabála [Book of Invasions] and the first physician in Ireland. In the
Partholonian division of Ireland he takes
Leinster. See also
SLÁINGE.
2. Leader of the
Galióin, a part of the
Fir Bolg, in the pseudo-history
Lebor Gabála [Book of Invasions], who divides Ireland with his brothers, taking
Leinster for himself. In the Fir Bolg invasion he was thought to have come ashore at Inber Sláine, now the mouth of the Slaney River at Wexford Harbour. Sláine is usually thought to have been buried at the fortress of
Dind Ríg, Co. Carlow, which was once called Duma Sláine [Sláine's mound], but the
Dindshenchas records that he is buried at Slane, Co. Meath.
