Editing Cú Roí (section)

==Cú Roí in Welsh literature==
Cú Roí's name also appears in two examples of [[medieval Welsh literature]]. First, it occurs in the corrupt form ''Cubert m. Daere'' in the [[Middle Welsh]] tale ''[[Culhwch ac Olwen]]'', along with the names of other characters of the Ulster Cycle – Conchobor, Fergus, Conall Cernach and Lóegaire Búadach. Here the Irish heroes form one group out of a long list of [[King Arthur]]'s warriors whose names [[Culhwch]] invokes as his sureties when he demands entry to [[King Arthur]]'s court.<ref>''[…] a Chnychwr mab Nes a Chubert m. Daere, a Fercos m. Poch, a Lluber Beuthach, a Chonul Bernach.'' (ed. Bromwich and Evans, p. 7, lines 178-80). See further P. Sims-Williams, "The significance of the Irish personal names." p. 608, where he suggests that the scribal corruption is in large part be due to confusion with MW ''Cwbert'' / OW ''Cubert'', a form of the Old English name Cuthbert.</ref> Second, an elegy (''marwnat'') for ''Corroi/Corroy m[ab] Dayry'' is preserved in the [[Book of Taliesin]], which mentions his contention with "Cocholyn", or [[Cú Chulainn]].<ref>Book of Taliesin XLII. {{cite web |author=Jones, Mary |title= The Death-song of Corroi, Son of Dayry|url=http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/t42.html |publisher= maryjones.us|access-date=October 15, 2009}}</ref>
