Aengus son of Aenlám Gaibe
An Ulster warrior who turns the whole army aside at Muid Loga with flagstones and dies overwhelmed.
Overview
Aengus, son of Aenlám Gaibe, is a brave Ulster warrior who turns the whole army aside at Muid Loga, as far as Ath Da Ferta, the Ford of the Two Grave Mounds. He refuses to let them pass and pelts them with flagstones. Some say that if they had agreed to single combat the whole army would have fallen at his hands before they came under the sword at Emain Macha, but there was no rule of fair play for him and he died overwhelmed.
