Episode 75 - The Death Of Conchubar Mac Nessa

Third in our Death Series is the strange and prolonged death of Conchubar Mac Nessa, King of Ulster. Conchubar is a wily king and remembered as a great leader. As well as sound judgement, he was a man of great beauty, and great vanity. Over the years, we’ve come to wonder at his wonderful reputation, but there’s no doubt that he left a lasting legacy. At some time in the retelling of this tale, Concubar’s birth and death was linked with another mythic figure, from far away, in the East.
