Description
Description: 1992, unique.
Note: Fergus mac Róich is a character in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. Formerly the King of Ulster, he is tricked out of the kingship and betrayed by Conchobhar Mac Nessa, becomes the ally and lover of Conchobhar's enemy, Queen Medb of Connacht, and joins her expedition against Ulster in the Táin Bó Cúailgne. Fergus is described as being of huge size and sexual potency. This leads him into many a precarious situation as in the story of the Táin Bó Flidhais.
