She judged that the cow should be killed in place of the youth and that the bags be opened. They revealed a bird with one leg and a bird with twelve legs. The birds contended, and the woman revealed that the druids were the twelvelegged one who lost the combat, and Segda was the one-legged one. She then called on Conn to execute his druids for false judgement and to put away Becuma.

Some scholars disagree about Conn's reigning years.
Tom Peete Cross and Clark Harris Slover have him start his reign in the first half of the second century after Christ, while Rolleston and others argues that he died AD 157. His stepmother turned him into a swan. Ket a champion. Queen Maev reigned in Connacht for eighty-eight years. Connacht was 'the land of the children of Conn' he who was called Conn of the Hundred Battles, and who died AD 157.
