If your distant ancestor was Eochaid, son of the King of Leinster, then the guy he killed was my distant ancestor - Niall Nóigiallach, or Niall of the Nine Hostages; founder of the O'Neill clan and first of the long line of O'Neill High Kings of Ireland.
Shooting a mighty warrior like Niall in the back while hiding in the bushes? That's all we'd expect of a cowardly Leinsterman. :wink:
