Behind the doors of the guesthouse in #Temair Luachra, the royal castle of the Érainn, a fiery surprise awaited the warriors of #Ulster. #CúChulainn chose the largest guest house. He did not know that this one was built of iron and only covered with wood.
Late in the evening the doors were barred from the outside. With 7 iron chains the doors and walls of the iron house in Temair Luachra were secured. In the vault under the house now 3x50 blacksmiths brought the fire to blaze. The heroic warriors of #Ulster were to be
burned.
