The Chiefs of the Sixfold Slaughter
The numbered chiefs killed in the Sixfold Slaughter on Murtheimne Plain, named by number and name only.
Overview
Cúchulainn kills so many in the Sixfold Slaughter that the text does not count them. The text says the number of the rabble who fell cannot be known, so only the chiefs are named, by number and name. Cúchulainn slays one hundred and thirty kings in this carnage, and he leaves the field without a scratch.
