Nechtan Scéne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology Nechtan Scéne (Nechta Scéne, Nechtan Scéine) was the mother of three warriors named Fannell, Foill and Tuchell, who boasted they had killed more Ulstermen than there were Ulstermen still living. They were killed by Cúchulainn in The Boyhood Deeds of Cúchulainn with the spear Del Chliss of Nechtan.
