''Finnabair is subsequently offered to Fer Diad, "saying that he was her only darling, her chosen lover from among all the men in the world."<ref>Carson, 2007, p. 123.</ref> The slaying of Fer Diad on Finnabair’s account is greatly lamented by Cú Chulainn, and spurs him to speak many poems about him: “And Medb’s daughter Finnabair,/ that beautiful bait you hoped/ would be yours? You might as well/try to tie sand with a rope.”<ref>Carson, 2007, p. 155.</ref> Her last and perhaps genuine love interest, [[Rochad Mac Faithemain]], joined the forces of Ulster before the last great battle. To persuade him to not fight against [[Connacht]], Medb uses her daughter's affection to strike a truce. Finnabair spends the night with Rochad, and eventually news of this reaches the 7 Kings of [[Munster]], all of whom were also offered Finnabair for their allegiance. They take their complaints to Ailill's sons, which results in a battle and the eventual slaying of 700 men. Upon hearing how she has been used and had so many men die on her account, Finnabair drops dead of shame. "Hence the name Finnabair Sléibe, Finnabair of the Mountain."<ref>Carson, 2007, p. 174.</ref>
