Brotherly Love Part 2 To Cuchalainn's Crossing

BROTHERLY LOVE Brother-- Blooded by my Jealous rage --gone dead wrong Betrayal won—Killed my mind and Brother.... This is PART TWO PART ONE: Cuchalainn's Crossing Victoria Anderson-Throop Based on the unbearably sad Celtic story of Cuchaliann and his foster brother and best friend Ferdiad. Tricked by a woman, to fight each other to the death, Cuchalainn killed his brother--then carried him--cradled in his arms-- miles home. (see photo in Wiki)
