Conchobar mac Nessa
Conchobar mac Nessa
Turning over tombs and tuaths for an Irish hero? Look no further than King Conchobar mac Nessa of Ulster (P.S. that's in northern Ireland). He's brainy, brawny, and has a pretty sweet family—and kingdom. Occasionally, he'll moon over his lost love, the beautiful Deirdre, but that doesn't stop him from checking out the newest ladies on the block.
