Hemsedal

Hemsedal is a municipality in Buskerud county, Norway. It is part of the traditional region of Hallingdal. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Troym. Hemsedal lies on the Norwegian National Road 52 Rv 52. Hemsedal is positioned 220 km northwest of Oslo and 273 km from Bergen. In 1897, Hemsedal changed into separated from the municipality of Gol to come to be a municipality of its very own. Ugaine Mor Hugony the Great, who supposedly built the hill-fort of Dun Ailinne, close to Kilcullen in County Kildare, united the tribes of Leinster. He is a possible, however uncertain candidate as the first historical king of Laigin Leinster inside the seventh century BC.

Circa 175/185 AD, following a duration of civil wars in Ireland, the legendary Cathair Mor re-founded the dominion of Laigin. The mythical Finn Mac Cool, or Fionn mac Cumhaill, reputedly built a stronghold at the Hill of Allen, on the threshold of the Bog of Allen, in what changed into then Leinster. In the 4th and 5th centuries AD, after Magnus Maximus had left Britain in 383 AD along with his legions, leaving a power vacuum, colonists from Laigin settled in North Wales, in particular in Anglesey, Carnarvonshire and Denbighshire. In Wales some of the Leinster-Irish colonists left their call at the Llyn Peninsula in Gwynedd, which derives its call from Laigin.
