2-3 million the men living today worldwide, occur from a powerful Irish birth of the fifth century - they have genes of legendary king Niall Nóigiallach. Scientists inform about it from Trinity College (http://www.tcd.ie).
Some historians doubt existence Niall, the military leader who has created a dynasty dominating in Ireland within many centuries, compare him to a legend about King Arthur.
According to folklore, Niall had 12 sons. Once he has grasped nine hostages, including St Patrick to subordinate opponents and to unite the power.
The Dublin researchers say, that though Niall lived in a point of crossing of mythology and the history, the received results confirm existence of a unique medieval ancestor in the most powerful and steady Irish dynasty.
Scientists took samples of DNA from 800 men and have analysed a material, using genetic "fingerprint" of a Y-chromosome.
It has appeared, that in the northwest of Ireland every fifth man has the same distinctive genetic marker is coincides geographically with a zone of the greatest influence of dynasty Niall.
The same marker has been found at 17 % of men in the western and the central Scotland and at 2 % of inhabitants of New York of the European origin.
With the account of genetic mutations collecting during long time, researchers have defined approximate age of a chromosome which has coincided with time of board of the king of Nine Hostages.
