Despite these omens, Noisi was killed, along with his brothers. The subsequent death of Noisi and his brothers at Conchobhar's hand resulted in Deirdre's decision to commit suicide as a result of her sorrows and the sorrows she caused for Ulster and the Red Branch.

Thus, feminine beauty, sorrow, suicide, and military war are all conjoined in this tale. But even though beauty results in the death of a great warrior and the loss of Noisi to Conchobar's forces, if the King of Ulster had not ignored the prophesy regarding Deirdre, the sorrowful end of the tale would not have transpired and resulted in the death of such great warriors.
Thus, kings as well as women are to blame, if not more so, in this tale, for ignoring the portents of fate. Not even kings are absolved from the need to respect omens, fate, and foretelling. Although Conchobar is described a good king, because he is unable to curb his insatiable appetite for a beautiful woman and to respect her destiny, he commits an act of treachery and loses both his loyal followers as well as Deirdre herself.

Main Characters: Deirdre, Conchobar, and Noisi
