Conall Cernach
Conall Cernach (modern spelling:
Conall Cearnach) is a hero of the
Ulaid in the
Ulster Cycle of
Irish mythology. He had a crooked neck and is said to have always slept with the head of a
Connachtman under his knee. His epithet is normally translated as "victorious" or "triumphant", although it is an obscure word, and some texts struggle to explain it. Alternative meanings include "angular, having corners", "swollen", or "possessing a dish or receptacle". The original form of the name "Conall" in Ogham inscriptions was ''Cunavalas''.
