King Lir and Eva had four
children, Fionnuala, Aodh Fiachra and Conn. |
Poor Eva died, King Lir and
the children were very sad. |
Lir married Eva's sister
Aoife |
Aoife was jealous of Lir
and his children. |
Aoife loved riches and
gold, she was selfish |
Aoife was an evil, nasty
woman. |
Aoife cast a spell on the
children and changed them into swans. |
King Lir was heartbroken,
he stayed beside the lake until he died. |
The children spent 300
years on Lake Derryvarra, 300 years on the Moyle and 300 years on Inis
Glóire. |
The sound of a church bell
changed the children back to humans again. |
