	Fir Bolg - Monstropedia - the largest encyclopedia about monsters
		In Irish mythology the Fir Bolg (Fir Bholg, Firbolg) were one of the races that inhabited the island of Ireland prior to the arrival of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
		The Fir Bolg are likely derived from the historical Belgae, known from Gaul and Britain, and related to the historical Builg of Munster; the Fir Domnann are probably related to the British, Dumnonii; and the Gaileanga are another name for the Laigin, who founded Leinster.
		In particular, this theory holds that "Fir Bolg" is a corruption of a term for "Breeches-Wearers", reasoning that, as manual laborers, the Fir Bolg would have found it useful to wear trousers rather than the robes and garb of the Gaels.

		Fir Bolg, again, is the name of Gann and Sengann with their people; to them the name Fir Bolg properly belongs, for it is they who were carrying the earth in the bags {bolg}.
		Fir Domnann, from "digging the earth" was it said: that is Fir Dmanfuinn, that is the men who used to deepen {doim-nigim} the earth.
		However, it is correct to call them all Fir Bolg in general, for it is in the bags for carrying the earth they came over sea to Ireland, and they are one immigration and one race and one principality, though they came on different days, and landed in different creeks.

		After a battle with the Formorians in which Conann and many Formorian followers were killed, the remnants of the people of Nemed fled from the country.
		The similarity of these names to those of the Belgae, Gauls and the Dumnonii, has suggested that this 'invasion' refers to the arrival of certain tribes of the proto-historic period.
		The Tuatha were victorious and allowed the conquered to retain the Province of Connacht while they took possession of the remainder of the island, building their capital at Tara.

		They consisted of three tribes, called the "Fir Domnann" or "Men of Domnu", the "Fir Gaillion" or "Men of Gaillion", and the "Fir Bolg" or "Men of Bolg"; but, in spite of the fact that the first-named tribe was the most important, they are usually called collectively after the last.
		But the Fir Bolgs had druids of their own, and, in the end, they put a stop to these enchantments by counter-spells, and the air grew clear again.
		The envoy of the Fir Bolgs looked with wonder at the "beautifully-shaped, thin, slender, long, sharp-pointed spears" of the warrior of the Tuatha Dé Danann, while the ambassador of the tribe of the goddess Danu was not less impressed by the lances of the Fir Bolgs, which were "heavy, thick, pointless, but sharply-rounded".

		The writer tells that the Fir Bolgs of Green Island moved to Mayo county in Connacht, which is where the Fir Domnann lived, thus verifying that the Somerled/Donald peoples were just those Fir Bolgs.

	The Irish Mythological Cycle
		The Firbolgs are vassals of Ailill and Medb, and with the Fir Domnann and Galioin are hostile to Cuchulainn and his men,[165] just as Fomorians were to the Tuatha De Danann.
		They were the gods of the pre-Celtic folk—Firbolgs, Fir Domnann, and Galioin[186]--all of them in Ireland before the Tuatha De Danaan arrived, and all of them regarded as slaves, spoken of with the utmost contempt.
		As the Celtic gods were local in character, and as groups of tribes would frequently be hostile to other groups, the Fomorians may have been local gods of a group at enmity with another group, worshipping the Tuatha De Danaan.
