===Sons of Tuireann=== [[Tuireann]] and Cian, Lugh's father, are old enemies, and one day his sons, Brian, [[Iuchar]], and [[Iucharba]] spot Cian in the distance and decide to kill him. They find him hiding in the form of a pig, but Cian tricked the brothers into allowing him to transform back into a man before they killed him, giving Lugh the legal right to claim compensation for a father rather than just a pig. When they try to bury him, the ground spits his body back twice before keeping him down, and eventually confesses that it is a grave to Lugh.<ref>[http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/turenn.html "The Fate of the Children of Tuirenn"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140108072326/http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/turenn.html |date=8 January 2014 }}, {{harvp|Cross|Slover|1936|pp=49β81}}</ref> Lugh holds a feast and invites the brothers, and during it he asks them what they would demand as compensation for the murder of their father. They reply that death would be the only just demand, and Lugh agrees. He then accuses them of the murder of his father, Cian, and sets them on a series of seemingly impossible quests. The brothers go on an adventure and achieve them all except the last one, which will surely kill them. Despite Tuireann's pleas, Lugh demands that they proceed and, when they are all fatally wounded, he denies them the use of one of the items they have retrieved, a magic pigskin which heals all wounds. They die of their wounds and Tuireann dies of grief over their bodies.<ref>[http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/turenn.html "The Fate of the Children of Tuirenn"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140108072326/http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/turenn.html |date=8 January 2014 }}, {{harvp|Cross|Slover|1936|pp=49β81}}</ref>
