As Baile Binnbhéarlach (“sweet-spoken Baile”), prince of #Ulster, traveled alone to a trysting place, a maleficent #fairy told the prince—falsely—that his lover was dead, whereupon he died of grief at Baile’s Strand, a seashore near today’s Dundalk. The spiteful sprite then carried the same story (sadly true this time) to Ailinn, a #Leinster princess, who also fell down dead of grief.
