Then the king, even Eochaid Feidlech, dies leaving one daughter named, like her mother, Étáin, and wedded to Cormac, king of Ulaid.
After the end of a time Cormac, king of Ulaid, ‘the man of the three gifts,’ forsakes Eochaid's daughter, because she was barren save for one daughter that she had borne to Cormac after the making of the pottage which her mother—the woman from the elfmounds—gave her. Then she said to her mother: ‘Bad is what thou hast given me: it will be a daughter that I shall bear.’
‘That will not be good,’ says her mother; ‘a king's pursuit(?) will be on her.’
