===Fráech's Cattle Raid=== He helped the Connacht hero [[Fráech]] recover his abducted wife and sons and stolen cattle. They tracked them to [[Alba]] ([[Scotland]]), southwards through [[Great Britain|Britain]], across the [[English Channel]], through [[Lombardy]], to the [[Alps]], where they met an Irish girl herding sheep. She told them the land was ruled by warriors who stole cattle from far and near, and had recently brought back Fráech's cattle and family. She advised them to go to the woman who tended the cows, who warned them that the fort where Fráech's wife was kept was guarded by a serpent, but promised to leave the gate open for them. When they attacked the fort, the serpent leaped into Conall's belt, and did him no harm. They liberated Fráech's family, took all the cattle and treasure, and went back to Ireland the way they came.<ref>A. H.
