Iuchar

Son of Tuirenn

Iuchar was the second of the three sons of Tuirenn. He joined his brothers Brian and Iucharba in the murder of Cian mac Cainte, went with them on every stage of the impossible quest Lugh imposed, and died with them when the final task left all three mortally wounded.

The brothers acted together in everything. Iuchar’s fate was always bound to theirs. When their father Tuirenn pleaded with Lugh for the healing that would have saved them, Lugh refused. Iuchar died alongside his brothers.
