The story of Deirdre and Naoise earned Deidre the nickname by which she is often referred to today: “Deirdre of the Sorrows.” The two lovers fled her betrothed, ending in his death and her suicide after their recapture.

#Celtic #FaustianFriday: Conchobar lured #Deirdre and Noísiu back to #Ireland by vowing that he had lost interest in his bride. Despite premonitions of doom, Deirdre reluctantly agreed. Under an ominous blood-red cloud she sailed for Ireland with the three sons of Uisneach.
„Immediately upon landing, Noísiu and his brothers were set upon by Concobar’s warriors, who killed them without offering them a chance to defend themselves. Hauled back to Conobar’s court in chains, Deirdre bitterly reproached the king for his deceit and violence. Once he had Deirdre, Concobar decided he no longer wanted her. So, to humiliate her further, the king gave her away to one of the men who had killed her lover. As the murderer bore her away in his chariot, Deirdre leapt from it and was killed, her head smashed against a stone.“
