Eithne Tháebfhota
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eithne Tháebfhota ("of the Long Side") was one of the daughters of High King of Ireland Cathaír Mór. Irish mythology describes her as the queen of two kings of different generations.
In most Old Irish writing, she is the wife of Conn Cétchathach. Her marriage was thought beneficial to the kingdom; until her death the fields gave three harvests a year, showing that she was a form of the goddess of Sovereignty.[1]

They lived in a small hut, at the forest of Kells, when she met her future husband, Cormac mac Airt, Conn's grandson. She spends a night with him, to conceive Cairbre Lifechair.
