- Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast.
This episode continues our new series on the greatest High King in mythological, pseudo-historical memory: Cormac Mac Airt.
This episode tells the second part of last week’s story ‘Fire and Fury’ where we were introduced to some of Cormac’s struggles as a High King who was not a fighting man. Insulted by the Ulster men, he had conceded the Kingship rather than pose a direct conflict. But his mother pointed out, he found himself needing to curry favour for a much greater fight. And two men from Munster would help him. But he trusted neither, and he as it turned out, was not to be trusted either.
