Why was the exile of the Sons of Uisliu? It is not hard [to relate]1—The Ulstermen were drinking in the house of Feidlimid mac Daill, the story-teller of Conchobor. Now the wife of Feidlimid was attending upon the host, standing up and she being pregnant. Drinking horns and portions [of food] circled around, and they uttered a drunken shout.
When they were about to go to bed, the woman came to her bed. While she was going across the middle of the house, the infant in her womb screamed so that it was heard throughout the whole enclosure. At that scream each man within arose from the other so that they were shoulder to shoulder (?) in the house. Then Sencha mac Ailella issued a prohibition (?): ‘Do not stir,’ he said. ‘Let the woman be brought to us in order that may be known for what reason is this noise.’ Thereupon the woman was brought to them.
