Afterwards, Fiachna headed to the studio to mix a track for an album he’s recording with the drummer of the Flowers and the original bass player of the Pogues (and Elvis Costello’s former wife).

 Fiachna mac Phiaraic continued
In 1120, Fiachna was born the first son of Dombnall mac Hoireabard (or mac Francis depending on the source).(1) Dombnall was chief huntsman and harborer to Fergus mac Donnel, Lord of Galloway, and not surprisingly, his cousin.
Fiachna's great uncle Georas died in 1131, and in 1134, Gilalden was made bishop in Whithern by Thurstan, archbishop of York.
Sir Fiachna had watched Fergus slowly become more anglicized, and passing the throne directly to his sons was a final affront to the Pictish tradition Fergus had once represented to Fiachna (though Fiachna continued to claim he loved Fergus like a father).

Fiachna's breath was taken away by that request, and he took a little time to compose himself, then he said mildly:
Said Mongan: There was an attendant in Fiachna Finn's palace who was called An Da'v, and the same night that Fiachna's wife bore a son, the wife of An Da'v gave birth to a son also.
She said it was unjust and presumptuous that the servant should get a child at the same time that she got one herself, but there was no help for it, because the child was there and could not be obliterated.

 Rebirth and Transmigration
Manannan appeared to the wife of Fiachna when he was fighting the Saxons, and told her that unless she yielded herself to him her husband would be slain.
Simultaneously with Mongan’s birth, Fiachna’s attendant had a son who became Mongan’s servant, and a warrior’s wife bears a daughter who became his wife.
Perhaps the idea that he was a rebirth of Fionn may have been suggested by the fact that his father was called Fiachna Finn, while it is probable that some old myth of a son of Manannan’s called Mongan was attached to the personality of the historic Mongan.

 Voyage of Bran-Conception of Happy Otherworld
I782, a fifteenth-century transcript of older material, may be cited as summing up the whole matter in the eyes of a rationalising antiquary of the twelfth or possibly the eleventh century: 'A.D. Also the notable Mongan was son of that same Fiachna, son of Baetan.
The importance of the latter fact will be discussed later on, for the present it may suffice to say that, apart from Bran's Voyage, the evidence that Mongan was a rebirth of Finn is every whit as good as that for his being a rebirth of Manannan.
It is also certain that by the end of the tenth century at the latest this wizard Mongan was identified with the historical son of Fiachna, whose death at the hands of an Arthur of Britain is assigned to the year 620.
