		In Irish mythology, Conaire Mor was a High King of Ireland, the son of king Eochaid Airem and his daughter, the king having been fooled by the magical powers of Midir (see also).
		The broken geas that led Conaire to his doom was the warning not to go to Da Derga's Hostel; having also been warned about the way to the hostel, he met there three men dressed in red and riding red horses, that were indeed messengers announcing his death, but he ignored them.

		The story, which continues to be read by school children, tells of how Pádraic encountered his famous little donkey and purchased it from a tinkerman, only to have subsequent trials and tribulations with the animal.

	The Cycles of the Kings
		Some time later, after Conaire had grown to manhood, Eterscél, the king of Tara, was slain by Núadu Necht mac Sétna Sithbacc of Leinster, and so the Leinstermen and the race of Conn Cétchathach came together to decide who would be the next king of Tara.
		While the men of Leinster and Dál Cuinn were at their deliberations, Mes Búachalla told Conaire that he was the son of Eterscél and that he should go to Tara to claim the kingship.
		At this point, the texts leaves off talking about Conaire to discuss the fate of one of his descendants, a man named Gnáthal mac Conruith, who was king of Tara six generations later (according to the genealogy at the beginning of the text).
