===Marriages and family=== Conchobar marries several of Eochu's daughters. [[Medb]], later queen of [[Connacht]], is the first. She bears him a son called Amalgad, but soon leaves him. Her sister Eithne conceives a son by him, but Medb murders her by drowning her in a stream. Her son [[Furbaide]] is delivered by posthumous [[Caesarian section]]. [[Mugain]] bears him a son called Glaisne and remains his chief wife. The mother of Conchobar's eldest son, [[Cormac Cond Longas]], is either Eochu's daughter Clothru or Conchobar's own mother Ness.<ref>Joseph O'Neill, "Cath Boinde", ''脡riu'' 2, 1905, pp. 173-185</ref> Cormac is given to [[Fergus mac R贸ich]] to foster.
