Cú Chulainn, Irish hero of the Rúraíocht/Ulster Cycle.
Nearing death, he wanted to die on his feet fighting his enemies. He tied himself to a large stone, usually identified as Cloghafarmore (Stone of the Big Man) in Co. Louth.

'The number of Scots may be proportioned & mixed with English forces in Ulster, that all fear of inconvenience may be removed' in other words the English didn't trust the Scots. While Tyrone had some Scots (& McDonnell a close ally) he was not a fan due to their indiscipline.
A dramatic illustration by #AngusMcBride of Ulster hero Cú Chulainn in full beserker mode from the epic Táin Bó Cúailnge:
“his flesh trembled about him like a pole against the torrent ...He made a mad whirling-feat of his body within his hide’

Most famous Irish Queen=Medb "she who intoxicates" of Connacht! Goddess of sovereignty! Central inauguration of High King at Tara; rulers expected to mate with her before they took up office! Behind Cattle Raid of Cooley: led war against Ulster! 🎨@jimfitzpatrick #MythologyMonday
Sadly but not unexpectedly the #BPPortrait Award closed early @NatGalleriesSco & won't tour to Ulster Museum (April-June). I've loved being in the show & was thrilled to get in with my portrait of @Dr_Ronx, a committed NHS doctor. Thanks Ronx & all woking in the NHS 🙏🏿@NPGLondon

#Otd 1317: Edward Bruce’s army reaches Castleknock, within sight of Dublin. Mayor of Dublin imprisoned Earl of Ulster, suspected of being sympathetic to Bruce. Dublin citizens burn some of N & W suburbs to prevent use as base! @irelandbattles: might be why flames on coat of arms!
These two know to keep in shape before liberating the rest of Jugdral.

Pioneering artist Elizabeth Catlett's print of Sojourner Truth, 1947, African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Truth was enslaved from birth in Ulster County, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826 #womensart
@war_student To be precise it is the only heraldry BA has. The arms on the 747’s tail are those lawfully granted to the corporation in 1975 by Garter, Clarenceux and Norroy & Ulster Kings of Arms.
Note the compartment of land and water and the winged supporters.

Looking forward to catching up with dear friends at @ecuriebertelli later this week - and being amongst some pre-war Astons; the opportunity to sketch for them has been invaluable and much appreciated. #blessings #ecuriebertelli #astonmartin #astonmartinulster #astonmartinlemans
