In the Second Battle of Magh Tuiredh , Nuada lost his arm. Since he was no longer perfect, his kingship was taken by Bres. His brother, Dian Cecht, made him a living silver hand to substitute. Nuada became known as Nuada Airgedlámh (Nuada of the Silver Hand). Bres had became a tyrant and so was exiled. Nuada returned to the throne and was killed by Balor, the grandfather of Bres.
Later, Dian Cecht's son, Miach, replaced the silver arm with Nuada's old arm; Dian Cecht killed him out of professional envy.
Alternative names include: Nudd, Ludd
King Ludd was suposed to have founded the settlement or City of London. It is derived from Ludd-deen or Valley of Ludd. St Paul is situated on top of Ludgate Hill in London, the original settlement of Ludd. Below it is the Roman gate of Ludd called Ludgate.
This is significant for Muslims as Baab-ul-Lud ' or "Gate of Lud" is where Isa (the second coming of Jesus) will confront the Anti-Christ or ' Dajjal' and defeat him.
There are a number of other candidates for Baab-ul-Lud but, none fits the description as to Hadith or Muslim traditions. Christianity was spread by the Romano-British Emperor Constantine. Christian learning and missionary work was pioneered from Britain in the so called early Dark Ages. Missionary Societies in the 1820's started especially in London ......... et cetera.
