Can anyone explain the history of the Red Hand to me, is it a myth or did the severed Red Hand actually happen in a battle, and which battle and did was it.? An Ulsterman once give me a brief account of what happened when I worked at Harland's shipyard in 1999, but he din't mention an actual battle or date, therefore I think it may have come from Cuhulain or something similar.

Its believed an ancient ancestor/Ulaid Hero named Conall Cernach hacked the bloodied hand off an enemy combatant and pressed it against a stolen banner, leaving a bloody handprint. He did this as a way to avenge his slain friend, Cú Chulainn, who was another Ulaid hero. This story is recounted in The Ulster Cycle of Irish Folklore.

@@fartypants2007 That's only folklore. He hardly cut his own hand off. Also that story is bs because its a right hand on the flag he would have cut off his left since right hand is your dominant hand for fighting and everything else
except it isnt, is it? 3 of the 9 counties are in the Republic of Ireland and the other 6 are soon to follow. 'Northern Ireland' will soon cease to exist and will be remembered as a stain on the the history of a great nation 🇮🇪
