Quem namorou Fachtna Fáthach?

Fachtna Fáthach ("the wise"), son of Cas (or Ross), son of Rudraige, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He came to power when he defeated the previous High King, Dui Dallta Dedad, in the battle of Árd Brestine. According to some stories, he was the lover of Ness, daughter of Eochaid Sálbuide, king of Ulster, and the father of her son, Conchobar mac Nessa, the king of Ulster in the stories of the Ulster Cycle.

After he had reigned for sixteen or twenty-five years, he paid a visit to Ulster. While he was there, Eochu Feidlech, king of Connacht, raised an army and marched on Tara. With the support of the Ulstermen, Fachtna challenged him to battle. Eochu agreed, and named the battlefield as Leitir Ruad in the Corann, Connacht. During the battle, Eochu surrounded and beheaded Fachtna, and became High King in his place.

Ness (em irlandês Neasa, em irlandês antigo, Neas), também chamada de Nessa, é uma princesa do Ulster e mãe de Conchobar mac Nessa no Ciclo do Ulster da mitologia irlandesa.
