Fionn Mac Cumhaill
Gráinne thought that she would be marrying Fionn's son
Gráinne
When Fionn Mac Cumhaill woke, he sent ''[[Clan O'Navnan]]'' to track down the fleeing couple. Diarmaid and Gráinne crossed [[Áth Luain]], and hid in the ''Wood of Two Tents'', where Diarmaid erected a fence with seven doorways leading to different directions in the wood. Fionn told his followers to surround and capture Diarmaid.
In the centre of the were magical berries from the rowan tree that could restore the youth of an old person, guarded by the giant [[Searbhan]] on the instructions of the . Different variants from Ireland and Scotland contain different episodes, sending Diarmuid and Gráinne to all manner of places. Commonly Diarmuid refuses to sleep with Gráinne at first out of respect for Fionn; in one version she teases that water that has splashed up her leg is more adventurous than he is. A similar quip appears in some versions of the Tristan and Iseult legend.
Fionn gathered the Fianna and travelled to the wood where he had a [[ficheall]] board set up, and played his son Oisín. Oscar and Caoilte assisted Oisín in the game,
Fionn went to the ''Land of Promise'' to ask his old nurse [[Bodhmall]] to kill Diarmaid. Diarmaid was hunting in the forest beside the [[An Bhóinn]] and Bodhmall flew through the air on a flying water-lily and hurled poisoned darts that could penetrate his shield and armour. Diarmaid suffered agony where the darts struck him, but he killed her with the Ga Dearg.
Fionn pardoned Diarmaid after Aonghus Óg interceded on the couple's behalf
Water drunk from Fionn's hands had the power of healing, but when Fionn gathered water he twice let it run through his fingers before he could bring it to Diarmaid. Threatened by his son Oisín and grandson Oscar he fetched water a third time, but

Versions differ as to Gráinne's subsequent actions. In some Aengus takes Diarmuid's body to his home at Brú na Bóinne. In some Gráinne swears her children to avenge their father's death upon Fionn, while in others she grieves until she dies herself. In some she is reconciled with Fionn, and negotiates peace between him and her sons; or goes so far as to marry Fionn at last.
==An Tóraíocht 2==
The story begins with the ageing Fionn, leader of the warrior band the [[Fianna]], grieving over the death of his wife Maigneis. His men find that Gráinne, the daughter of [[High King of Ireland|High King]] [[Cormac mac Airt]], is the worthiest of all women and arrangements are made for their wedding. At their betrothal feast, however, Gráinne is distressed that Fionn is older than her father, and becomes enamored with Fionn's handsome warrior Diarmuid (according to oral versions, this is because of the magical "love spot" on his forehead that makes him irresistible.<ref name="MacKillop"/>) She slips a [[sleeping potion]] to the rest of the guests and encourages Diarmuid to run away with her. He refuses at first out of loyalty to Fionn, but relents when she threatens him with a [[geas]] forcing him to comply. They hide in a forest across the [[River Shannon]], and Fionn immediately pursues them. They evade him several times with the help of other Fianna members and [[Aengus|Aengus Óg]], Diarmuid's foster father, who conceals Gráinne in his cloak of invisibility while Diarmuid leaps over the pursuers' heads.<ref name="MacKillop"/>
