Then she summoned Manus to the castle , and for a whole year she kept him fast , and his own mother could not get speech of him . But in the end , when the wife of Oireal fell sick , Manus fled from the tower which was his prison , and stole back to his on home . For a few years he stayed there in peace , and then the wife of Iarlaid his uncle sent for him . ` It is time that you were married , ' she said , when she saw that Manus had grown tall and strong like unto Iarlaid . ` Tall and strong you are , and comely of face . I know a bride that will suit you well , and that is the daughter of the mighty earl of Finghaidh , that does homage for his lands to me . I myself will go with a great following to his house , and you shall go with me . ' Thus it was done ; and though the earl 's wife was eager to keep her daughter with her yet a while , she was fain to yield , as the wife of Iarlaid vowed that not a rood of land should the earl have , unless he did her bidding . But if he would give his daughter to Manus , she would bestow on him the third part of her own kingdom , with much treasure beside . This she did , not from love to Manus , but because she wished to destroy him . So they were married , and rode back with the wife of Iarlaid to her own palace . And that night , while he was sleeping , there came a wise man , who was his father 's friend , and awoke him saying : ` Danger lies very close to you , Manus , son of Oireal . You hold yourself favoured because you have as a bride the daughter of a mighty earl ; but do you know what bride the wife of Iarlaid sought for her own son ? It was no worldly wife she found for him , but the swift March wind , and never can you prevail against her . ' ` Is it thus ? ' answered Manu . And at the first streak of dawn he went to the chamber where the queen lay in the midst of her maidens . ' I have come , ' he said , ` for the third part of the kingdom , and for the treasure which you promised me . ' But the wife of Iarlaid laughed as she heard him . ` Not a clod shall you have here , ' spake she .
` You must go to the Old Bergen XXXXX that .
