Acallam na senórach ll. 1147-1204. Deaths in the reign of Mac Con and after
Lore concerning deaths during and after the reign of Mac Con, ed. Whitley Stokes, ‘Acallamh na senórach’ in Irische Texte mit Wörterbuch... (1900): lines 1147–1204; tr. Ann Dooley • Harry Roe, Tales of the elders of Ireland (1999).
Various death-tales relating to the Cycles of Lugaid Mac Con (and his son Fothad [Airgthech]), Ailill Ólomm and Fiachu Muillethan are alluded to, all of them in response to questions asked by Cainén mac Failbi, a descendant of Eógan Mór and hence of Ailill Ólomm.
(1) Cainén asks Caílte where Ailill Ólomm, Sadb ingen Chuinn, Ferchis the poet and Ailill’s seven sons died. Caílte enumerates these places, hinting at the circumstances of their deaths.
(2) Caílte also explains to Cainén that Áth Iseal, i.e. Áth Tuisil (‘the Ford of the Fall’), is so named because Fiachu Muillethan, son of Eógan Mór, died here at the hands of Connla Derg.
(3) Cormac Cas, king of Munster, was a son of Ailill Ólomm. He was wounded after the battle of Samain, in which his opponent Eochaid Abratrúad, king of Ulster, perished. Although he sustained a head-wound which caused his brains to leak, he remained king of Munster for another 13 years. He died at Dún Trí Liacc.
