Others Named in the Exile of the Sons of Uisliu

The people named in Cathbad's prophecy and in the killing at Emain, apart from the sons of Uisliu.

Overview

Cathbad's prophecy over Derdriu names several of the dead, and he blames her for some of them. The narrative then names those killed on the green at Emain and in the fighting that follows. Fiachna is the one name that the text gives two different parents for.
