CANOLA:  She was the inventor of the Irish harp.  Having had a disagreement with a lover, she left his bed to wander the night.  Hearing beautiful music, she stopped and sat down, soon falling asleep in the open air.  Wakening, Canola discovered the music had been made by the wind blowing through the rotted sinews clinging to the skeleton of a whale.  Inspired by the sight and remembering its magical sound, she built the first harp. __________ CAOILTE:  A warrior with Finn Mac Cumhail. __________ CARTIMANDUA:  A legendary warrior queen and leader of the Brigantes, she waged war against the Roman Empire. __________ CATHBADH:  A druid appearing in various tales of the Ulster Cycle. __________ CIMBAOTH:  Uncle and husband of Macha Mong Ruad.  He was the brother to Aod Ruad and Dithorba, with whom he ruled Ireland in 7 year intervals.  When Aod Ruad died, his daughter Macha Mong Ruad took the crown, killing Dithorba and forcing Cimbaoth to become her husband. __________
