The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 1, sentence 61

Yet even they, scarcely excepting Diarmid, Oscar, and Fionn himself, though the terror of Ireland’s provincial kings till their power, rendered too exacting by long success, was extinguished by a single fatal reverse, were never counted equal to the mighty ones of her earlier time.

Who acts: contemporaries, single fatal reverse · What happens: except, render, exact, extinguish, not count · To what, where: Diarmid
