Who shaped Connacht when memory still spoke in myth? Ailill.
From Rathcroghan’s stones to the far cattle-roads, his reign bound tribes, measured wealth in herds, and matched wits—and power—with Queen Medb.
The Táin remembers their rivalry and rule.
Here, landscape is ledger: forts, fords, and oaths.
Follow the tracks, and Ailill’s Connacht steps out of legend—and into history.
