Owners of the Named Weapons at Emain

The owners of the named shields and swords kept in Conchobor's house at Emain.

Overview

The list sits in the description of the Téte Brec, the Twinkling Hoard, where Conchobor's javelins, shields and swords were kept. Each weapon is given with its owner, and the owners are not otherwise doing anything in the passage. The text says there were many more shields than these.
