A very important point that is missing from the story is how, in the end, Fergus was tricked into abandoning Deidre and her companions. Fergus was under gease to never refuse an offer to a feast. So one of the King's cohorts collaborated by inviting him so that he would have to stay behind. Only then could Conchobar's men attack.
