Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Exile of the Sons of Uisliú, or Deirdre and Naoise, is a story of the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, written down in the Middle Ages but set in the Celtic pagan Iron Age. King Conchobar of Ulster locks Deirdre away in a tower from birth, due to a prophecy that she would be incredibly beautiful and men would fight over her. Deirdre is the daughter of Conchobar's poet, but she grows up with foster parents and out of sight of all boys, so she doesn't fall for anyone else before Conchobar marries her. But, well, a pretty warrior-singer called Naoise ruins all that, and Deirdre persuades him to elope with her, incurring the wrath of Conchobar. Naoise's loyal brothers, Ardan and Ainnle, come along for the ride and they all end up in Scotland, where they live simply and happily for a while... Until Conchobar pretends all is forgiven and invites them home, precipitating a brutal, tragic ending. And the outraged exile of Fergus Mac Róich, which will be important later...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

After Deirdre and Naoise and Naoise's brothers are returned to Emain Macha (Conchobhar's fort), Conchobhar is eager to know whether Deirdre is still worth pursuing and sends Leabharcham to find this out. When Leabharcham returns to tell him that a hard life in Scotland has prematurely aged and disfigured Deirdre (she is trying to protect Deirdre), Conchobhar is still suspicious and sends a spy instead. Deirdre sees the spy and Naoise puts his eye out, but not before the spy has seen her; half-blinded, he reports back to Conchobhar that Deirdre is so fair that blindness would be worth it. This is what makes Conchobhar order the death of Naoise and his brothers. | |

Babies Ever After: Inverted somewhat; in some versions of the story, Deirdre and Naoise have a son, Gaiar, and a daughter, Aebgreine, but their happy family life is interrupted by Conchobar's false promises of forgiveness. | |

Abduction Is Love | |
| The Exile of the Sons of Uisnech / int_94c57c5c | comment |
Abduction Is Love: Deirdre literally pounces on Naoise and says he'll be cursed or at least dishonoured if he doesn't run away with her. He seems to be okay with it eventually. | |
