Notes for Scota Of Egypt
Notes:
According to legend, she was a daughter of the Pharaoh, who gave her to MILESIUS as his second wife; and thus from the earliest times the Irish were called Scots after her, a name which was later applied specifically to the Irish settlers of Scotland, and finally to Scotland itself.

I. The Prehistoric Section
From the seventh century onwards, Irish monks were involved in manufacturing a history for themselves to fill the gap between biblical history and (their) modern history. As a result, any competent medieval Irish historian could trace the supposed genealogy of any of the modern kings of Irish descent back to Adam, through fabulous, then biblical antecedents. This has been done, for interest's sake only, as this section has no historical reliability. I have, here, given the names as they appear in early Irish documents, and adopted, of the many possible versions, that from various sections of thetwelfth-century Irish manuscript known as Rawlinson B. 502.
