 Conall Cernach Summary
It was Conall Cernach who avenged Cú Chulainn's death, beheading his slayer Lughaidh mac Con Roí.
When he himself was slain and beheaded by his lifelong foes the Connachtmen, it is said that his head was so large that it could have held four men playing "chess" (fidhchell) or a couple lying together.
He is sometimes described as cloen ("crooked") because his inveterate enemy, the Connachtman Cet mac Mághach, to whom he was a nephew, had stamped his heel upon his neck after his birth, for it was prophesied that he would kill half the men of Connacht.
