After the whole affair of the cattle raid, Queen Maeve returns home to Connacht. There, she daily took a bath in a well on the shore of Lough Ri. Furbaide was the son of Conchober, who had been killed by Maeve. It was his custom to set up a stake and place an apple on it, and practice slinging at it. One day, he spotted Maeve taking her bath, and not waiting to find a stone, launched a piece of cheese at her. It hit her in the head, killing her.
