Real-World History

In the legends about the Stone of Destiny, Tamar is described as the daughter of Zedekiah, the last King of Judah (though she is not mentioned in the Old Testament). She and Jeremiah came to Ireland, bringing the Stone of Destiny with them; there, Tamar married Eochaid.

Tamar may have originally been an eponymous figure, invented to explain the name of Tara, just as Scota was invented to explain the name of Scotland.
