The Death of Cú Chulainn
Aug 13, 2025
In the chronicles of ancient Ireland, no tale stirs the heart more than the death of Cú Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster. Though his end was foretold from his youth, and though he knew his fate awaited him, the great hero chose honor over life, fulfilling his destiny with courage that would inspire warriors for a thousand generations.
The Gathering Storm
The seeds of Cú Chulainn’s doom were sown in the hatred of Queen Medb of Connacht, who had never forgiven the hero for his defense of Ulster during the great Cattle Raid of Cooley. For years, she had plotted her revenge, gathering allies from across Ireland and beyond.
