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"/>
 
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. Another episode describes how the newly-pregnant Gráinne develops a craving for [[rowan]] berries guarded by the one eyed giant Searbhán; though at first friendly to the lovers, Searbhán angrily refuses to give up the berries and Diarmuid must fight him. Searbhán's skill at magic protects him from Diarmuid's mortal weapons, but Diarmuid eventually triumphs by turning the giant's iron club against him.<ref name="MacKillop"/>
 
After many other adventures, Diarmuid's foster father Aengus negotiates peace with Fionn. The lovers settle in Keshcorran, [[County Sligo]] where they have five children; in some versions, Fionn marries Gráinne's sister. Eventually Fionn organises a boar hunt near [[Benbulbin]] and Diarmuid joins, in spite of a prediction that he will be killed by a boar. Indeed, the creature wounds him mortally as he deals it a fatal blow. Fionn has the power to heal his dying comrade by simply letting him drink water from his hands, but he lets the water slip through his fingers twice. Finally Fionn's grandson [[Oscar (Irish mythology)|Oscar]] threatens him with violence if he does not help Diarmuid, but when he returns from the well on the third attempt it is too late. Diarmuid has died.<ref name="MacKillop"/>
