We begin the The Martial Career of Conghal Cláiringhneach with a river of bloodshed, created by the ridiculous demands of honor culture. Witness the raw power of a warrior said to have split a boat in two with nothing but his bare hands. Discover why hurling insults at your monarch might not be the worst strategic decision when swords are drawn and lives hang in the balance.

Note: When this episode was recorded, it originally was meant to be for season 6. However, as a result of further research, we decided to start with the Mythological Cycle in Season 6. This is now considered the Irish Kingdoms Pilot Season.
