InIrish mythology the threeFindemna orFinn Eamna (variously interpreted as "fairtriplets" or "three fair ones ofEmain Macha") were three sons of theHigh King of Ireland,Eochaid Feidlech. Their names were Bres, Nár and Lothar.[1]
They conspired to overthrow their father. The day before meeting him in battle they were visited by their sister,Clothru, who tried in vain to dissuade them from this course of action. They were childless, so for fear that they might die without an heir, Clothru took all three of them to bed, conceivingLugaid Riab nDerg, son of the three Findemna. Lugaid later becameHigh King of Ireland, so Clothru's incest preserved the line of succession to the high kingship.
