ahem. Chuchulainn is not a character from British folklore. Chuchulainn is most emphatically a character from Irish folklore. Specifically the Tain, an ancient story set in Ulster, involving a war between Connaght and Ulster. This whole 'British'/'Irish' distinction is a pretty important one to maintain.
