This is done then. Rochad goes to meet the horseman.
'I have come from Findabair to meet you, that you come to speak
with her.'
He goes then to speak with her alone. The host rushes about him
from every side. He is taken, and hands are laid on him. His force
breaks into flight. He is let go then, and he is bound over not to
go against the host till he should come together with all Ulster.
It was promised to him that Findabair should be given to him, and
he returned from them then. So that that is Rochad's Woman-fight.
_The Death of the Princes_ [Note: Or 'royal mercenaries.']
'Let a sword-truce be asked of Cuchulainn for us,' said Ailill and
Medb.
Lugaid goes on that errand, and Cuchulainn grants the truce.
'Put a man on the ford for me to-morrow,' said Cuchulainn.
There were with Medb six princes, i.e. six king's heirs of the
Clanna Dedad, the three Blacks of Imlech, and the three Reds of
Sruthair.
'Why should we not go against Cuchulainn?' said they.
They go next day, and Cuchulainn slew the six of them.
_The Death of Cur_
Then Cur Mac Dalath is besought to go against Cuchulainn.
