|Summary=Ailill asks Fergus about Cú Chulainn's age. In both recensions, Fergus replies that despite the hero's youth, Ulster knows no better or fiercer warrior. Medb questions Fergus' assertions saying that a youth of his age cannot have developed the qualities of an adult warrior. Fergus retorts that even in his younger years, Cú Chulainn performed the deeds of a man.

Line 22: Line 20:
No age is specified in Recension II, but in Recension I, Fergus tells that Cú Chulainn is 17 years of age; that he was in his 5th year, when he joined the boys in Emain Macha; in his 6th year, when he came to Scáthach to be instructed in martial arts; of the same age, when he wooed Emer (cf. ''Tochmarc Emire''); and in his 7th year, when he took up arms.
