Mad Maudlin Help: What is a Monigan? (17) What is a Monigan? 09 Sep 01


From the liner notes on Steeleye's "Hark The Village Wait" (on "The Hills of Greenmore"):

"A mighty song! But a little known one. This saga of a hare hunt and its variant 'The Granemore Hare' hail from around Keady in Co. Armagh. In the song the only one to get the rough end of the stick is the 'pussy'. Do we detect a Monigan in the hunt?"

Please help an ignorant foreigner - what exactly is a Monigan?

Thanks!
