Fathers and Kin Named in Passing
The men named only as the fathers of other people, with no deed of their own.
Overview
Several men are named only as the fathers of the people the tale is about, for example Roech mac Echdach as the father of Fergus. This list gathers them so that a reader can see whose son each one was. None of them acts in the story. Scél is the one exception, named for his work as doorkeeper of Emain Macha and as a storyteller.
