Bás Chearbhaill agus Fhearbhlaidhe
prose
Early Modern Irish romance about the tragic love relationship between poet-harper Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh from Corcomroe and Fearbhlaidh, daughter of the king of Scotland, who falls in love with the poet after he is revealed to her in a dream-vision. This Cearbhall, though clearly a creation of narrative fiction, might have been based on an historical poet of this name who was ollamh of Corcomroe and died in 1404. In the tale, Cearbhall is buried at the monastic site.
