- Dermot: Diarmuid; in the Finnian tradition of Irish mythology, Diarmuid and Gráinne are the counterparts of Tristan and Isolde; Diarmuid was the nephew of the Irish hero Finn Mac Cool; Gráinne, the daughter of the High King, had been promised to Finn, but when she saw that he was too old she cast a love spell on Diarmuid and the two eloped; they ran away but Finn's pursuit prevented them from spending two consecutive nights in the same place; megalithic monuments in Ireland are still referred to as "the bed of Grainne and Diarmuid" → be redtom on the same page
