Iuchar and Iucharba would have granted it, and let him go; but their fiercer brother swore that Cian should be put an end to, even if he came back to life seven times.
Iuchar and Iucharba were in favour of admitting their guilt, but Brian was afraid that, if they confessed, Lugh would withdraw his offer to accept a fine, and would demand their deaths.
But, as soon as Brian saw it, he seized it with his left hand, and slew the man who was holding it, and Iuchar and Iucharba also hacked about them; and they cut their way down to the boat, leaving the King of Greece among the dead behind them.

 Danu and Bile: The Primordial Parents?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Next, it should be pointed out that nowhere in the Lebor Gabála Érenn (Book of Conquests of Ireland) -- our earliest source on the material related to the Tuatha Dé Danann, compiled between the ninth and the twelfth centuries -- does Danu appear (under any form of her name) in the role of primordial mother.
The one figure who appears prominently in the text and has a similar name is Danand (or Donand) daughter of Delbaeth son of Ogma, who cohabits with her own father and has three sons by him, Brian, Iuchar and Iucharba.
These three come to be known as the tri Dé Danand, the "three gods of Danand", and we are told that all the Tuatha Dé Danann took their name from them, although no logical reason for this appears in the narrative, nor any sense of why the three alone are "gods".

 Review; Faery Wicca Tarot
In an age so distant that the age is unknown, the world was inhabited by gods, and the lands and oceans were divided amongst them.
One tiny piece of land, a very rich and magickal piece of land, became known as Eire, and was ruled by a Goddess named Brigid and three gods of Dana: Brian and Iuchar and Iucharba - the three druids from whom the Tuatha De Dannan are named…
The Faery Wicca tarot cards are based on the De Dananns’ ancient Bardic system of understanding the universe (i.e., the OtherWorld, land of Faery, and the Underworld), which might today be considered the shamanic tradition or roots of the Irish Faery-Faith, a pre-Christian, pre-Celtic spiritual tradition.
