  In the ancient days of Ireland, when kings ruled from mighty fortresses and warriors competed for honor and glory, there lived a clever chieftain named Mac Dathó who possessed two of the most remarkable treasures in all the land. This is the tale of how his cunning and hospitality led to one of the most memorable feasts—and fights—in Irish history.

  The King of Leinster

  Mac Dathó ruled over a portion of Leinster from his great fortress, which was renowned throughout Ireland for two extraordinary creatures. The first was a massive pig, so large that seven years of feeding had made it the size of a small ox. Its meat was said to be the most delicious in all the world, tender and sweet beyond compare.
