Twyndír Amhrání (Sonaide Bri Legends)

Twyndír Amhrání and the Fairy Queen

Twyndír Amhrání was a legendary princess long ago in Áes Camáir folklore. She was the younger daughter of a king who had pledged her hand in marriage to a foreign lord. Despondent, she considered drowning herself in a pond. The fairy queen Rígan Lúan took pity on Twyndír and turned her into a songbird. As a bird, Twyndír joined the Fairy Cavalcade and in time was made into a fairy herself.
