The Children of Lir is a legend of Irish origins. The story tells about a king named Bodb Derg. The character Lir is annoyed by this and is given one of Bodb's daughters named Aoibh. Aoibh dies after giving Lir four children, three boys and a girl. Bodb then sends Lir another of his daughters, named Aoife. Aoife plots to kill the children after she becomes jealous of the children's love for Lir. Aoife orders her servant to kill the children, but the servant will not. Aoife turns the children into swans, where they have to spend 300 years on Lough Derravaragh, another 300 in the Sea of Moyle, and 300 years on Irrus Domnann Erris. The children have to be blessed by a monk to break the spell.
