Maenghal the Pilgrim

Maenghal the Pilgrim, Irish poet, fl. 844.

Upon the death of King Niall Caille in 844, Maenghal, the pilgrim, said:

 Take with thee the total destruction of Niall, who was not a judge without judgment; To the King of heaven let him make submission, that he may make smooth for him every difficulty. Niall was drowned, Niall was good; Niall in the sea, Niall in fire, Niall without death.
