Listen to the tale of Macha the Red, the sole heir to Red Hugh, who defied tradition and conquered sovereignty in ancient Ireland. Following her father's death, Macha faced opposition from co-rulers Kimbay and Dithorba who refused her kingship because she was a woman. Undeterred, Macha rallied an army, defeated her adversaries, and claimed Ireland's throne by force. Her reign saw her cunningly capture and subdue the rebellious sons of Dithorba, ultimately sparing their lives but condemning them to build what would become the iconic Emain Macha. This story not only highlights Macha's formidable leadership but also her pivotal role in the establishment of Ulster's chief city, symbolising women's enduring influence in Irish lore. Discover how Macha's legacy is intertwined with Ireland's royal heritage, marking her as one of the few women to secure sovereignty in Irish history.
