Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and back to the Battle Rage Series.
This year we decided to choose lesser known characters from the Ulster Cycle, and tell their most interesting stories.
This is the story of Findchoem, who is mostly remembered for her relationships to the heroes of the Ulster Cycle. She was related to Conchubar Mac Nessa through their father, Cathbad, but grew up in Connaught with her mother and her brother, Cet. She was married to the warrior poet of Ulster, Amairgin. She wet-nursed Cuchulainn in his infancy. And she was the mother of Ulster’s other great warrior, Conall Cearnach.
This is her story.
This story is told by Sorcha.
Music is by Oisín Ryan and it is produced by Oisín Ryan
You might recognise the characters in this series from the Táin saga. These stories stand alone, linked by one connection: the different manifestations of their Battle Rage.
