According to Irish legend, the Tailteann Games were first established in 632 BC near the Hill of Tara, by the High King of All Ireland, Lugh. He founded the games in memory of his foster mother, Tailte, who had died of exhaustion whilst clearing the plains of Ireland for agriculture.
Lugh was not only the High King but also the Celtic god of the sun, harvest and light, he established the Celtic Festival of Lughnasadh, one of the four great festivals in Ireland. Lughnasadh is celebrated on the 1st of August, marking the beginning of Autumn and the celebration of the harvest season. The Funeral Festival honouring his foster mother, Aonach Tailteann, lasted two week and were celebrated during the Lughnasadh Festival. The last Tailteann Games were celebrated in 1168 AD, as the last High King of Ireland, Ruadhri O’Connor sat on the throne, just before the Anglo-Norman invasion.
