#Conchobar lured #Deirdre and Noísiu back to #Ireland by vowing that he had lost interest in his bride. Noísiu, homesick, agreed to return. Despite premonitions of doom, Deirdre reluctantly agreed. Under an ominous blood-red cloud she sailed for Ireland with the three sons of Uisneach.
„Immediately upon landing, Noísiu and his brothers were set upon by Conchobar’s warriors, who killed them.“

For #InternationalMermaidDay: `On the Isle of Man #Conchobar met with a #mermaid fast asleep on the beach. He promptly bound the syren, but she, on waking and perceiving what had happened, besought him to liberate her; and to induce him to yield to her petition, she informed him that she was Teeval, the Princess of the Ocean; and promised that if he caused the smith Culann to form her representation on the shield surrounded with this inscription, 'Teeval, Princess of the Ocean,' it would possess such extraordinary powers that when ever he was about engaging his enemy in battle, and looked upon her figure on the shield, read the legend, and invoked her name, his enemies would diminish in strength, while he and his people would acquire a proportionate increase in theirs. Conchobar had the shield made according to the advice of Teeval, and, on his return to Ireland, such extraordinary success attended his arms, that he won the kingdom of Ulster.`

#Celtic #FairyTaleTuesday: After the wedding of #Cuchulainn and #Emer, the king of #Ulster had to exercise his "right of the first night". While #Conchobar mac Nessa feared #CúChulain`s reaction, he would have lost his authority if he had renounced his privilege. To preserve #Emer's virginity, #Conchobar shared the bed with #Cuchulainn's wife on her wedding night, but the #druid #Cathbad slept between them.

#Celtic #MythologyMonday: #Leborcham had unsuccessfully tried to warn #Deirdre to leave #Ireland after she and her lover had been tricked into returning from their Scottish exile. Thus she went to #Conchobar and told him that her hard life in the wilderness had destroyed Deirdre’s beauty, although she remained as radiant as ever. Alas for the girl, the king chanced to see her again and so realized Leborcham’s deceit.

„Immediately upon landing, Noísiu and his brothers were set upon by Conchobar’s warriors, who killed them without offering them a chance to defend themselves. Hauled back to Conchobar’s court in chains, Deirdre bitterly reproached the king for his deceit and violence. Once he had Deirdre, Conchobar decided he no longer wanted her. So, to humiliate her further, the king gave her away to one of the men who had killed her lover. As the murderer bore her away in his chariot, Deirdre leapt from it and was killed, her head smashed against a stone.“

#Celtic #LegendaryWednesday: `#Nessa dutifully sat on a flat stone as she was bid by her husband, the #druid Cathbad, and held in all night the child which was ripping her apart to get out. The next morning, she popped out a son she named #Conchobar, after the river he was born beside. Which he fell into as he was born, apparently. Or maybe the power of water birth was well known to our ancient female ancestors. Conchobar went on to be the famous King of #Ulster around whom the tales of the Ulster Cycle revolve.
This was the same Nessa who prior to her pregnancy, single-handedly as a woman raised a war-band of 27 warriors and took off after her father’s murderers with them, intent on revenge and killing.`
