The difficult labours king #Bres demanded of people such as the Dagda and #Ogma, all the while depriving them of proper food, prompted angry talk. He didn`t supply feasts, entertainments and other expected gifts to his visitors. As the land began to suffer,

I chose Bres because his father is Balor and he is super cool and he grew so quickly that by the age of seven he was the size of a 14-year-old. His wife was Brigid, daughter of the Dagda, and his son was Ruadan, who was killed by Goibniu. by Ryan @SaturnLunacy@twitter.com #NameSaturnsMoons
