How C Culainn got his name

How C Culainn got his name

Conor, the King of Ireland had fierce warriors called the Red Branch Knights

King Conor had a clever nephew called Setanta

Setanta wanted to be a Red Branch Knight but he was too young

Setanta loved to play hurling

Setanta asked again to join the Red Branch Knights

He stayed at home & worked on the farm

Storytellers visited & told great stories of the Red Branch Knights

That night, Setanta decided to run away and join the Red Branch Knights

He met King Conor and the king said he could stay

The king was going to a party. Setanta was playing hurling.

When the game finished, Setanta went to the party. A mad dog was on guard!

The dog attacked. Setanta hit the ball & killed the hound

Culainn, the host no longer had a dog to guard his home

Setanta offered to help & guard Culainns house

Thats how Setanta got a new name C Culainn or hound of Culann
