Like all the other judges, he chooses Cú Chulainn, but Conall and Lóegaire refuse to accept his verdict. When the three heroes return to <a href="/wiki/Ulaid" title="Ulaid">Ulster</a>, Cú Roí appears to each in the guise of a hideous churl (<i>bachlach</i>) and challenges them to behead him, then allow him to return and behead them. Only Cú Chulainn is brave and honourable enough to submit himself to the churl's axe, so he is declared champion. This story is related to the "beheading game" motif appearing in many later works in <a href="/wiki/Arthurian" class="mw-redirect" title="Arthurian">Arthurian</a> literature - most famously the 14th-century English poem <i><a href="/wiki/Sir_Gawain_and_the_Green_Knight" title="Sir Gawain and the Green Knight">Sir Gawain and the Green Knight</a></i>, although closer correspondences are to be found in <i><a href="/wiki/Diu_Cr%C3%B4ne" title="Diu Crône">Diu Crône</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/La_Mule_sans_frein" title="La Mule sans frein">La Mule sans frein</a></i>, both of which feature a revolving fortress like Cu Roi's. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Táin_bó_Cúailnge"><span id="T.C3.A1in_b.C3.B3_C.C3.BAailnge"></span><i>Táin bó Cúailnge</i></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=C%C3%BA_Ro%C3%AD&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Táin bó Cúailnge"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/T%C3%A1in_b%C3%B3_C%C3%BAailnge" class="mw-redirect" title="Táin bó Cúailnge">Táin bó Cúailnge</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Combat_of_Munremar_and_Cú_Roí"><span id="Combat_of_Munremar_and_C.C3.BA_Ro.C3.AD"></span>Combat of Munremar and Cú Roí</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=C%C3%BA_Ro%C3%AD&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Combat of Munremar and Cú Roí"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Cú Roí appears in the side-tale "Comlond Munremair & Con Roi" ("The combat of Munremar and Cú Roí") included in Recension I of <i><a href="/wiki/T%C3%A1in_b%C3%B3_C%C3%BAailnge" class="mw-redirect" title="Táin bó Cúailnge">Táin bó Cúailnge</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Cú Roí, who has sent a contingent to the Connacht army but had not hitherto been personally involved in the recent hostilities between Ulster and Connacht,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> does intervene when he learns that the Ulster warrior <a href="/w/index.php?title=Munremar&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Munremar (page does not exist)">Munremar mac Gerrginn</a> (lit.

The resulting encounter (<i>comlond</i>) between the two warriors is a spectacular stone-throwing contest, described from the perspective of the Connacht troops, who witness many stones flying in opposite directions from the east and west (Cotal and Ard Róich) and colliding right above their heads. The shower of falling rubble forces them to use their shields for protection, until on their request, Cú Roí and Munremar agree to discontinue the fight and return home.

However, on finding Cú Chulainn weak from the injuries which <a href="/wiki/Ferdiad" title="Ferdiad">Ferdiad</a> had recently inflicted on him, he refused to carry out his original plan. Instead he faces the giant warrior poet Amairgin, who in a trance is hurling stones at the Connacht army in <a href="/wiki/Tailtiu" title="Tailtiu">Tailtiu</a>, with devastating effects. Cú Roí attacks him in kind and their stones meet in the air.

Second, the conclusion of Cú Roí's fight with Amairgin is told from a perspective which highlights the role of honour in his motives. <a href="/wiki/Medb" title="Medb">Medb</a> insisted "[b]y the truth of your [Cú Roí's] valour" (<i><span title="Irish-language text"><i lang="ga">[a]r fír do gascid fritt</i></span></i>) that he should abandon the competition, obstructive as it proved to be to the progress of the expedition. Cú Roí, however, was determined to persist "till the day of doom" (<i>co brunni brátha</i>) unless Amairgin agreed to stop. (When the matter was settled and Cú Roí returned to his country, Amairgin resumed his attacks on the invading army, explaining that his agreement was with Cú Roí only.) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Death_tale_and_fragments">Death tale and fragments</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=C%C3%BA_Ro%C3%AD&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Death tale and fragments"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Cú Roí's death by Cú Chulainn's hand is the subject of the tale <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Aided_Con_Roi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Aided Con Roi (page does not exist)">Aided Con Roi</a></i>, which survives in two versions.

Bláthnat communicates with Cú Chulainn and a plan is hatched. Taking an opportunity when most of Cú Roí's men are absent from the fort, Bláthnat gives the signal to Cú Chulainn by pouring milk into the Fionnghlaise (white stream - now the Derrymore River). Cú Chulainn, on seeing the stream become white, storms the fort, kills Cú Roí, and carries off Bláthnat. As Cú Roí's men return up the valley, Bláthnat places a spell which makes the valley walls dance in front of the men's eyes. Walkers who ascend Caherconree via the Derrymore River valley can still see this effect which is caused by an optical illusion. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Clanna_Dedad">Clanna Dedad</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=C%C3%BA_Ro%C3%AD&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Clanna Dedad"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to the genealogical schemes, Cú Roí is cousin to the famous monarch <a href="/wiki/Conaire_M%C3%B3r" title="Conaire Mór">Conaire Mór</a>, son of <a href="/wiki/Etersc%C3%A9l" class="mw-redirect" title="Eterscél">Eterscél</a>, son of <a href="/wiki/%C3%8Dar_mac_Dedad" title="Íar mac Dedad">Íar mac Dedad</a>, brother of Cú Roí's father <a href="/wiki/D%C3%A1ire_mac_Dedad" title="Dáire mac Dedad">Dáire mac Dedad</a>.
