 | | Cúchulainn tried to stop him taking her, but Cú Roí cut his hair and drove him into the ground up to his armpits, before escaping, taking Blathnat with him. |
 | | In one version of the story, Cú Roí's soul was hidden in an apple in the belly of a salmon which lived in a stream in the mountains of Slieve Mish, and only surfaced once every seven years; Blathnat discovered the secret and told Cúchulainn, who killed the fish, enabling him to kill Cú Roí. |
 | | However Ferchertne, Cú Roí's poet, enraged at the betrayal of his lord, grabbed Blathnat and leaped off a cliff, killing her and himself. |
