According to Irish mythology, recent invaders of Ireland from Galicia, sons of Míl Espáine (Golam or Galam, miles Hispaniae, soldier of Spain), grandson of Breogan, Celtic King of Brigantia (La Coruña or Betanzos), ancestor of the Irish. The sons of Mil invaded Ireland defeating the Tuatha De Danann and taking the definitive possession of this island. A current study of human genetics Professor Bryan Sykes of Oxford University establishes the similarity of DNA of the populations of the North of Spain with Ireland, Great Britain and the West of France.
