N. Ireland
N. Ireland doesn’t get along very well with the rest of Ireland
Cuchulain often fought the S. Irish
Origin Story
![Page 6: CUCHULAIN, Champion of Ireland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5681610a550346895dd05554/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
He and two other heroes tried to prove who was the most powerful/strongest of them all
1st hero: Laegire2nd hero: Conall Cearnach
The Strongest of the Three
![Page 7: CUCHULAIN, Champion of Ireland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5681610a550346895dd05554/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Cuchulain and three other warriors compete to see who is the best
First test: 3 vicious beasts send 1st two heroes into the rafters—only Cuchulain is brave enough to slay them
What Happened…
![Page 9: CUCHULAIN, Champion of Ireland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5681610a550346895dd05554/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Second test: giant/dragon attack
Again, other two heroes are sissies: they cower while Cuchulain thrusts his arm down the dragon’s throat and tears out its heart
Next…
![Page 10: CUCHULAIN, Champion of Ireland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5681610a550346895dd05554/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

None of these tests are good enough for Laegire and Conall Cearnach
They whine, not willing to believe that Cuchulain is superior to themselves
Still Complaining…
![Page 12: CUCHULAIN, Champion of Ireland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5681610a550346895dd05554/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Feast at King’s hallGiant walks inDemands that one hero step forth and cut off his head
The next night, the giant will return and chop off the hero’s own head
![Page 13: CUCHULAIN, Champion of Ireland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5681610a550346895dd05554/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Conall Cearnach and Cuchulain are absent, so it has to be Laegire
When it’s time for Laegire to return, however, to get his own head chopped off…

What do you think happens?

Conall, however, is willing to take the challenge
He slices off the giant’s head…
And the next night, when it’s his turn…
![Page 16: CUCHULAIN, Champion of Ireland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/5681610a550346895dd05554/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

So Cuchulain takes off the giant’s head, knowing that tomorrow, he will be next
