Sixth Generation 8. Tigernmas, 13th Monarch of Ireland died in 1543 B.C. in Ballymagauran, Tullhaw Barony, Cavan, Ireland, and was buried in Magh Sleaght, Field of Adoration, Ballymagauran. Tigernmas was the 13th Monarch, and reigned 77 years; according to Keating, he reigned but 50 years; he fought twenty-seven battles with the followers of the family of Heber Fionn, all which he gained. In his reign gold was mined near the Liffey, and skilfully worked by Inchadhan. This King also made a law that each grade of society should be known by the number of colours in its wearing apparel. The clothes of a slave should be of one colour; those of a soldier of two; the dress of a commanding officer to be of three colours; a gentleman's dress, who kept a table for the free entertainment of strangers, to be of four colours; five colours to be allowed to the nobility, the chiefs, and the King, Queen, and Royal Family, as well as the Druids, historians, and other learned men to wear six colours. Tigernmas died B.C. 1543, on the Eve of 1st of November, with two-thirds of the people of Ireland, at Magh Sleaght (or Field of Adoration), in the county of Leitrim, as he was adoring the Sun-God, Crom Cruach (a quo Macroom).
