#WyrdWednesday #Celtic: “Close the house!” said Conall to Bélchú. He goes forward and leaves the house open. “Well now, Bélchú,” said Conall, “come into my bed!”
“Nay,” said Bélchú.
“Off with thy head,” said Conall, “unless thou come into the bed.”
“It must needs be,” said Bélchú. Then Bélchú closed the house. When Bélchú had fallen asleep, Conall opens the house. The sons of Bélchú come towards the bed in which their father was and put their three spears through him, so that they killed him. And then Conall arises and plies his sword upon them, so that their brains were scattered about the walls. And he carries their four heads with him eastward until he reached his house before it was morning. So that is the Death of Cet and of Bélchú of Brefne with his sons.`
