Saint Ronan legendarily cursed one person with this role to go mad and wander the earth as a man-bird hybrid right before a battle. A sea god lures one person with this role to an Otherworld using a “shining branch with nine red apples.” An epic cycle named for this role is part of a group of four also including the (*) Fianna and Ulster cycles. Conn of the Hundred Battles receives a vision of people who will follow him in this role after stepping on an ancient stone. The holders of this title are traditionally inaugurated at the hill of Tara.
