King Conchobhar Opinon

1. Yes, I think King Conchobhar was the type of king that did help protect his people, but he was more into protecting the gods. Conchobhar was a ladies man, but even though he liked doing those types of things like, showing off his muscles, being both a tough and gentle man when he needed to, and very attractive. King Conchobhar got into that fight and injured his brain. It totally flipped his life upside down. When the doctor was able to sew the second brain in along with his brain, that gave Conchobhar another shot at life. If King Conchobhar hadn't of been saved the way he was, I'm sure that if he had died then he would have been just as gracious. Every person in his village would be calling him a hero, if I had a person like this in my town depending on when he was going to die, I would either have a party for him every year or every couple of months.
