		The Ulaid were distressed to see the land devastated as it was, so they decided to drive the birds away, as it was their custom to hunt birds.
		Whatever the case may be, Dechtine soon learns that she is pregnant by LUGH and she is to bear a son whom will be called Setantae, the two colts born at the doorway of the house at Bruig na Boinde are to be his - the triune now filled.

		However, he is well aware of the prowess of the Ulaid, and of Cuchulainn in particular, and does not stint from telling Medb and Ailill what a dangerous undertaking the invasion of Ulster will be.
		The men of Ulster (the Ulaid), led by King Conchobor, cannot presently defend their kingdom, however, because they are currently suffering from their pangs.
		They are so evenly matched that the combat takes three days; but at last, Cuchulainn uses the gae bolga, a spear-like weapon with tiny hooks in it that emerge once the gae bolga has entered an enemy's body, meaning that it it impossible to draw it from a wound without killing the victim.

	Ancient Origins
		The Celtic tribe of the Ulaid (for whom Ulster is named) became the elite class in the north of Ireland living along side and sometimes ruling over the Cruithin.
		The Ulaid and Cruithin united in the face of a common enemy and built the defensive structure called Black Pigs Dyke (the remains of which still stands today) along the southern border of Ulster to halt the advance of the Gaels.
		By 450 AD the more numerous Gaels had managed to gain control of most of the north of Ireland, with Ulster shrunken to encompass only the present day counties of Antrim and Down (the enlarged modern day Ulster boundaries were put in place by the government of the Tudor Elizabeth 1st for administrative purposes).

		They also took from the Ulaid that part of the province extending from the Righ [the Newry river] and Loch nEachach [Lough Neagh] westwards.'

		The only consolation for the Ulaid, who lost there a whole generation of nobility, was that the king of the Cenél Eógain, heir apparent to the high kingship of Ireland, died in the same battle.

		The Ulaid dynasty prospered for some 994 years, though their power center over time became limited to the area known as Ulster today.
		But in the beginning of the fourth century, Ulster’s power was irrevocably broken, and by far the greater portion of her territory wrested from her - her people driven into miserably narrow bounds from which, ever after, they can hardly be said to have emerged.
		As one reads the Annals, it is clear that the Ulaid continue to exist and played a key role in northern Ireland.

		The Kings of Ulster were of the Ulaid, and up till about A.D. 450, ruled as over-kings of the ancient cóiced (portion, fifth) of Ulster.
		However, in A.D. 450 the Ulaid capital of Emain Macha was attacked and destroyed by Niall Noigiallach, who came from Cóiced Ol nEchmacht.
		From that point onwards the Ulaid were slowly reduced to being mere kings of their homelands east of the upper and lower Bann, which was Ulaid proper.

		She was reared in a court apart, lest any of the Ulaid see her before she was to sleep with Conchubur, and no one was allowed into that court save her foster-father and her foster-mother and a woman named Lebarcham who was a satirist and could not be barred.
		On Conchubur's orders, however, the Ulaid all strove to invite Fergus to feasts and banquets, for the sons of Uisliu had sworn that the first food they touched in Eriu would be Conchubur's.

	the_three_collas
		It seems documented as well that the Collas were either assisted in their defeat of the Ulaid by the Ui Neill (later O'Neill) Clan or that Clan became involved shortly thereafter as they established themselves to the north.
		These peoples had be subjugated by the Ulaid and then with the removal of the Ulaid leadership had to pay homage to their new rulers, the Airghialla, but were also perhaps able to assert themselves more under Airghialla rule.
		All of this suggests that the Collas and their descendents were better warriors than they were rulers and that this Kingdom of Airghialla was a place of constant strife.

		The shield of Concobar was struck so that it moaned, and the three Waves of Erin, the Wave of Clidna, the Wave of Rudraige, and the Wave of Tuag Inbir echoed that moan, and all the shields of the Ulaid resounded, every one of them that was on their shoulders and in their chariots.
		But so fierce was the onset of the southern armies that the fight of the Ulaid against them was as a breast against a great flood, or an arrow against the rock, or the striking of a head against cliffs.
		After the battle, Concobar spoke thus: “There were three sons of Ros Ruad the king—Find in Alend, Ailill in Cruac, Cairpre in Tara; together they performed their deeds of valor, the three brothers in every strife; together they used to give their battle.
