King Chonchobar Mac Nessa was able to stop the fight between #Loegaire, #Conall Cernach and #CuChulainn at #Bricriu's banquet. #Sencha the Wise advised to appoint #Medb and #Ailill as arbiters. Only these kings were able to divide the hero's bite in such a way that no new dispute broke out for the time being.

During #Bricriu's banquet, #Loegaire, #Conall Cernach and #CuChulainn claimed the curadmir, the hero's bite, each for himself. They ripped sword and shield from the walls and attacked each other with such force that 'the enamel flew from the shields in flakes like a flock of gleaming white birds!
