Medieval Irish poem (53 qq) on a hunting expedition by the sons of Eochaid Mugmedón and their encounter with a hag who transforms into a beautiful woman, a story known from Echtra mac nEchach Muigmedóin. This is followed by her prophecy of kings from the Ó Conchubhair dynasty, beginning with Toirrdealbach and concluding with In Crobderg, who is readily identifiable as Cath Crobderg, king of Connacht (r. 1202–1224).
