The name Davra originates from one of the most famous tales of Irish imaginative literature. The Children of Lir. Like most of the best tales, founded partly in fact and fiction. The image you see below is of the mystical Lough Derravaragh, where our name stems from. Located in Co. West Meath near the center of Ireland.<\/p>\n
Lir was a chieftain of the Tuatha de Danann tribe. Upon the death of his wife, the then king offered Lir the choice of one of his three beautiful foster-daughters in marriage, as a gesture of friendship. Lir chose Aobh the eldest who bore him four beautiful children: Fionnuala, Aodh, Fiachra, and Conn. However tragedy struck again, and Aobh died. Lir was heartbroken, and he too would have died but for the great love he had for his children. Lir remarried Aobh’s sister Aoife, but this marriage was not as joyous. At the beginning Aoife looked after the children with a mother’s love, but evil touched her heart and she became insanely jealous of Lir’s love for his children.<\/p>\n
One morning when Lir was away hunting, Aoife took the children out in her chariot to visit their grandfather Bodhbh Dearg. Stopping at Lough Derravaragh, she led the children to the water to bathe. As soon as they were on the lake she struck them with a magic wand, changing them into four beautiful swans. She decreed that they should spend 300 years on Lough Derravaragh, 300 years on the Sea of Moyle (North Channel) and 300 years on the Bay of Erris, Co Mayo. Throughout their 300 years on Lough Derravaragh, great crowds frequently camped on the shore to listen to the singing of the swans. Click on the image to read the full version.<\/p>\n
