He and his eldest brother Heber were, jointly, the first.Milesian Monarchs of Ireland; they began to reign, A.M. 3,500, or, Before Christ, 1699. After Heber was slain, B.C. 1698, Heremon reigned singly for fourteen years; during which time a certain colony called by the Irish Cruithneaigh, in English "Cruthneans" or Picts, arrived in Ireland and requested Heremon to assign them a part of the country to settle in, which he refused; but, giving them as wives the widows of the Tuatha de-Danans, slain in battle, he sent them with a strong party of his own forces to conquer the country then called "Alba," but now Scotland; conditionally, that they and their posterity should be tributary, to the Monarchs of Ireland. Heremon died, B.C. 1683, and was succeeded by three of his four sons, named Muimne,"The House of Hereman," Luigne, and Laighean, who reigned jointly for three years, and were slain by their Heberian successors.

According to O'Hart's account, Milesius had four sons, Heber, Ir, Heremon, and Amergin, who were involved, along with their uncle Ithe, in the invasion of ancient Ireland ; Milesius , himself, had died during the planning. Because Amergin died during the invasion, he died without issue. It is from the four other invaders--Heber , Ir , Heremon , and Ithe --that the Irish are alleged to descend. These. according to O'Hart, are the four lines from which all true Irish descend.

,[1] son of Míl Espáine , according to medieval Irish legends and historical traditions, was one of the chieftains who took part in the Milesian invasion of Ireland, which conquered the island from the Tuatha Dé Danann , and one of the first Milesian High Kings .
Before coming to Ireland, he and his brother Éber Donn were joint rulers of Spain . His great-uncle Íth made a peaceful expedition to Ireland, which he had seen from the top of a tower built by his father Breogan , but was killed by the three kings of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Mac Cuill, Mac Cecht and Mac Gréine , and in revenge the Milesians invaded in force, with Érimon and Éber Donn in command. They defeated the Tuatha Dé in the Battle of Tailtiu . Éber Donn had been killed, and the High Kingship was divided between Érimón in the south and his younger brother Éber Finn in the north.
Érimon had two wives, Odba, mother of Muimne, Luigne and Laigne , whom he left behind in Spain, and Tea, mother of Íriel Fáid , who accompanied him to Ireland, and died there. Tea gave her name to Tara , where she was buried - the Lebor Gabála Érenn explains its Old Irish tame Temair as "Tea mur", "Tea's Wall".
A year after the Battle of Tailtiu, Éber Finn became unhappy with his half, fought a battle his brother at Airgetros, lost and was killed. Érimón became sole ruler of Ireland. He appointed kings of the four provinces. He gave Leinster to Crimthann Sciathbél of the Fir Domnann ; Munster to the four sons of Eber Finn, Ér, Orba, Ferón and Fergna ; Connacht to Ún and Étan , sons of Uicce; and Ulster to Eber mac Ír . During this time the Cruithne settled in Ireland. He ruled for fourteen, fifteen or seventeen further years, after which he died at Airgetros, and was succeeded by his sons Muimne, Luigne and Laigne, ruling jointly.[2]
Geoffrey Keating dates his reign from 1287-1272 BC,[3] the Annals of the Four Masters from 1700 to 1684 BC BC.[4]
