A Dictionary of Celtic Mythology | 2004 | 387 words | Copyright

Nadcranntail, Natchrantel. Connacht champion in Medb's service in Táin Bó Cuailnge [Cattle Raid of Cooley]. He takes a third of his army on a daring raid into Ulster and finds the Brown Bull in Antrim, driving it and its herd back home. He refuses to fight Cúchulainn because the latter is a beardless boy, so Cúchulainn dons a false beard and quickly dispatches him.
