#Grainne, the daughter of the High King of #Ireland, #Cormac mac Art, had agreed to marry #Fionn Mac Cumhaill. After first setting eyes on her groom, an old gray-haired hero, #Grainne forced #Diarmaid by means of géis to flee with her. They went on the run so they could escape Fionn’s wrath and be together, never sleeping more than a night in one place. After sixteen years of outlawry peace was at last made for #Diarmaid by the mediation of #Aonghus Óg with King Cormac and with Fionn. #Grainne bore to #Diarmaid four sons and a daughter.
While hunting, the Boar of Ben Bulben mortally wounded #Diarmaid. Fionn would have had the ability to save his former captain and friend, but hesitated until Diarmaid was dead.
#Grainne was at first enraged with Fionn, and sent her sons abroad to learn feats of arms, so that they may take vengeance upon him when the time would be ripe. But despite everything #Grainne made peace between Fionn and her sons, and dwelt with Fionn as his wife until he died.
