Biography
Sencha helped establish peace between the Ulstermen. Sencha's face broke out in "blotches" when giving a misogynistic judgment. They were a consequence of a spiritual or magical ban that compelled him to behave fairly. His face was later healed when Brigit convinced Sencha to reconsider his judgment. He has been compared to Nestor of Homer's Iliad and Merlin of the Arthurian Legends.
Sencha mac Ailella is a judge and poet.
