He survived, but his <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/druids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>druids</span></a> faced the difficult question of whether this change made him a blemished king and therefore unfit to reign. Through some loophole of interpretation, they determined that having one’s head on backward was not a blemish, but to keep Fergus from knowing what had happened, they covered all the mirrors in Emain Macha, the great royal residence of Ulster. And so Fergus lived happily enough for seven years, until a woman he had mistreated revealed the truth. Fergus returned to Loch Rudraige and killed the muirdris, but fell dead of exhaustion afterward, his head still facing backward.`<br>Source: P.

Still, for all that she was still a rare beauty and an indomitable warrior, which many men find to be an irresistible combination!<br>And so it was with King <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Fergus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fergus</span></a> Mac Ríoch, master of all Ulster and the northlands. He had to have her and told her as much, but she wanted Ulster for her son Conchobar, so she named as her bride-price that the King let her son rule Ulster for a year while they enjoyed themselves.<br>Well, she did more than enjoy herself, she made great gifts to the chieftains of Ulster and counselled her son well, so his judgements were seen to be fair and just. After the year was past, the people of Ulster muttered to themselves that Conchobar was a far better king than Fergus had ever been, and what sort of king wanders off for a year anyway!<br>So Fergus was deposed and stormed off in a rage, although he remained married to Nessa.` <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Celtic</span></a><br>Source: <a href="https://emeraldisle.ie/a-hero-is-born" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">emeraldisle.ie/a-hero-is-born</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
