Fianna

Legendary band of Irish warriors, led by Finn Mac Cumhaill. His headquarters were at Almu (Allen) in County Kildare. The adventures of the Fianna are the subject of many stories, legends, and ballads.

The ballads are often attributed to Oisin, Finn's son, and are the source of James Macpherson's 18th-century epics, which he attributed to an ancient Scottish poet, Ossian.
