I realized I had left out two of the banfennidi,  S\u00edona and C\u00e1mha, connected to the Fionn tales. I also became  uncomfortable including Bec and Lithben who are known only for their  conversion, both into Christianity and away from being warriors and  causing the conversion of their fathers&#8217; and their fathers&#8217; kingdoms, to  Christianity.  (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/livessaints00stokuoft\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Lives of Saints from the Book of Lismore<\/span><\/a>).  I realize I have no problem with the fact that several are known  primarily for dying, it is where many of our stories come from after  all, at least the place names. I just realized I did feel uncomfortable including figures who really did exist in order to sell conversion. We&#8217;ll see if this changes again for me but this is what I use now. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color: #cc0000;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #cc0000;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Bookman Old Style,serif;\">I serve the War Goddesses<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"CENTER\" style=\"color: #cc0000;
