in the long time ago , conchubar , son of ness , was king of ulster , and he held his court in the palace of emain macha . and this is the way he came to be king . he was but a young lad , and his father was not living . fergus , son of rogh , who was at that time king of ulster , asked his mother ness in marriage . now ness , that was at one time the quietest and kindest of the women of ireland , had got to be unkind and treacherous because of an unkindness that had been done to her . she planned to get the kingdom away from fergus for her own son . so she said to fergus , " let conchubar hold the kingdom for a year , so that his children after him may be called the children of a king . that is the marriage portion i will ask of you . " " you may do that , " the men of ulster said to him . " for even though conchubar gets the name of being king , it is yourself that will be our king all the time . " so fergus agreed to it , and he took ness as his wife , and her son conchubar was made king in his place .
|
he loved ness .

but all through the year ness was working to keep the kingdom for him . she gave great presents to the chief men of ulster to get them on her side . and though conchubar was but a young lad at the time , he was wise in his judgments and brave in battle , and good in shape and in form . they liked him well . and at the end of the year , when fergus asked to have the kingship back again , they consulted together . it is what they agreed , that conchubar was to keep it . and they said , " it is little fergus thinks about us , when he was so ready to give up his rule over us for a year . let conchubar keep the kingship , " they said , " and let fergus keep the wife he has got . " now , it happened one day that conchubar was making a feast at emain macha for the marriage of his sister dechtire with sualtim , son of roig . and at the feast dechtire was thirsty , and they gave her a cup of wine , and as she was drinking it a mayfly flew into the cup , and she drank it down with the wine . and presently she went into her sunny parlour , and her fifty maidens along with her , and she fell into a deep sleep . and in her sleep lugh of the long hand appeared to her , and he said , " it is i myself was the mayfly that came to you in the cup , and it is with me you must come away now , and your fifty maidens along with you . " and he put on them the appearance of a flock of birds . they went with him southward till they came to brugh na boinne , the dwelling - place of the sidhe . and no one at emain macha could get tale or tidings of them , or know where they had gone , or what had happened them .

it was about a year after that time there was another feast in emain , and conchubar and his chief men were sitting at the feast . and suddenly they saw from the window a great flock of birds , that lit on the ground and began to eat up everything before them , so that not so much as a blade of grass was left . the men of ulster were vexed when they saw the birds destroying all before them , and they yoked nine of their chariots to follow after them . conchubar was in his own chariot , and there were following with him fergus , son of rogh , and laegaire buadach the battle - winner , and celthair , son of uithecar , and many others , and bricriu of the bitter tongue was along with them . they followed after the birds across the whole country southward , across slieve fuad , by ath lethan , by ath garach and magh gossa , between fir rois and fir ardae . the birds before them always . they were the most beautiful that had ever been seen . nine flocks of them there were , linked together two - and - two with a chain of silver , and at the head of every flock there were two birds of different colours , linked together with a chain of gold . and there were three birds that flew by themselves , and they all went before the chariots to the far end of the country , until the fall of night , and then there was no more seen of them .

and when the dark night was coming on , conchubar said to his people , " it is best for us to unyoke the chariots now , and to look for some place where we can spend the night . " then fergus went forward to look for some place , and what he came to was a very small poor - looking house . a man and a woman were in it , and when they saw him they said , " bring your companions here along with you , and they will be welcome . " fergus went back to his companions and told them what he had seen . but bricriu said : " where is the use of going into a house like that , with neither room nor provisions nor coverings in it . it is not worth our while to be going there . " then bricriu went on himself to the place where the house was . but when he came to it , what he saw was a grand , new , well - lighted house . at the door there was a young man wearing armour , very tall and handsome and shining . and he said , " come into the house , bricriu . why are you looking about you ? " and there was a young woman beside him , fine and noble , and with curled hair , and she said , " surely there is a welcome before you from me . " " why does she welcome me ? " said bricriu .
