Fionnuala
In Irish mythology, Fionnuala (from 'fionn ghualainn' or fair-shouldered) was the daughter of Lir of the Tuatha de Danaan. In the legend of the Children of Lir, she was changed into a swan and cursed by her stepmother, Aoife, to wander the lakes and rivers of Ireland, with her brothers FiachraConn and Aodh, for 900 years until saved by the marriage of Lairgren, son of Colman, son of Cobthach, and Deoch, daughter of Finghin, which union broke the curse. 'The Song of Fionnuala', with lyrics by Thomas Moore speaks of her wanderings.
