In the main Sage Ulster, Táin Bó Cuailnge ( " The Cattle Raid of Cooley " ), Fedelm is the Seer at the Court of the King of Connacht, Ailill mac Máta. She warns him and the queen Medb before the expedition against Ulster and threatens the demise of the Connacht army. In a long poem praises the strength and wisdom of Ulters Cu Chulainn and predicts the exploits which he will accomplish in this war. Your warning remains unheeded, however, as the Trojan Cassandra.

Fedelm Noíchride [' f'eð ​​ʴ elm ' noiçr ʴ IDE] is called in the same Sage Conchobar mac Nessa's daughter. She is the wife of King Cairbre Nia sub -Fer and the mother of Erc mac Cairbri Niad - fer, which falls in the fight against Cú Chulainn.
