Editing Medb (section)

==Later years==
Out of jealousy for his affair with Medb, Ailill had Fergus killed.<ref>Kuno Meyer, [http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/fergus.html "The Death of Fergus mac Róich"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100822053855/http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/fergus.html |date=22 August 2010 }}, ''The Death-Tales of the Ulster Heroes''.</ref> In his old age, after Conchobar's death, the Ulster hero [[Conall Cernach]] came to stay with Ailill and Medb, as they were the only household capable of supporting him. Medb tasked him to keep an eye on Ailill, who was seeing other women. Finding Ailill ''in flagrante'', she ordered Conall to kill him, which he was happy to do in revenge for Fergus. However, the dying Ailill sent his men after him, and he was killed while trying to escape.<ref name="aililldeath" />
