Fedelm Noíchrothach [Ir., the nine times beautiful]. Identical with Fedelm Noíchride [Ir., fresh-heart]. A female warrior noted for her great beauty. A daughter of Conchobar mac Nessa, she abandoned her husband Cairbre Nia Fer in favour of the great Ulster hero Conall Cernach. Her son Fiachna 1 was killed by Dubthach. She may have had a tryst with Cúchulainn in the Táin Bó Cuailnge [Cattle Raid of Cooley], or he may have slept instead with one of her bondwomen.
