	Medb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Medb's first husband was Conchobar mac Nessa of Ulster, but that marriage didn't last.
		Medb also insisted that she be equal in wealth with her husband, and started the Táin Bó Cúailnge (Cattle Raid of Cooley) when she discovered that Ailill was one powerful stud bull richer than her.
