Description
Chief poet of the Tuatha Dé Danann who composed the first satire ever made in Ireland, directed against the inhospitable king Bres. The blistering verse raised boils on the king's face, disqualifying him from kingship and triggering the events that led to the Second Battle of Mag Tuired.
