'' The historical institution of the ''fiann'' is known from references in [[Brehon Laws|early medieval Irish law tracts]]. A ''fiann'' was made up of landless young men and women, often young [[Aristocracy (class)|aristocrat]]s who had not yet come into their [[inheritance]] of land.<ref>Dáibhí Ó Cróinín, ''Early Medieval Ireland'', Longman, 1995, plch. 88</ref> A member of a ''fiann'' was called a ''fénnid''; the leader of a ''fiann'' was a ''rígfénnid'' (literally "king-''fénnid'').<ref>''[[Dictionary of the Irish Language]]'', Compact Edition, [[Royal Irish Academy]], 1990, pp. 299, 507</ref>
 
'' [[GeoffreySeathrún KeatingCéitinn]], in his 17th-century ''History[[Foras ofFeasa Irelandar Éirinn]]'', says that during the winter the ''fianna''Fianna were quartered and fed by the nobility, during which time they would keep order on their behalf, but during the summer, from [[BeltaineBealtaine]] to [[Samhain]], they were obliged to live by hunting for food and for pelts to sell.<ref>[[GeoffreySeathrún KeatingCéitinn]], ''[[Foras Feasa ar Éirinn]]'', [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100054/text055.html 2.45]</ref> Keating's ''History'' is more a compilation of traditions than a reliable history, but in this case scholars point to references in early Irish poetry and the existence of a closed hunting season for deer and wild boar between Samhain and BeltaineBealtaine in medieval [[ScotlandAlba]] as corroboration.<ref>Nerys Patterson, ''Cattle Lords and Clansmen: the Social Structure of Early Ireland'', University of Notre Dame Press, 1994, plch. 122-123</ref>
