Tá scéal Bhláthnaide ar cheann de scéalta móra na Rúraíochta. Is ann atá cur síos ar fhuadach iníon álainn rí Mhanann go dtí Cathair Con Raoi i gCiarraí, agus ar an mbáire fola a bhí mar thoradh ar an ngrá a thug beirt laoch di.

The story of Bláthnaid is one of the great stories of the Ulster Cycle. It tells of the abduction of the beautiful daughter of the king of Man to Slievemish in Kerry, and of the bloodshed that was the result of the love given to her by two heroes.

Indeed, it is still recounted in Kerry that Bláthnaid poured milk into the Finglas river as a sign to the Ulstermen that her huband was sleeping unprotected in the fort.
