In Celtic mythology, Fragarach, known as 'The Answerer' was the sword of Manannan mac Lir and Lugh Lamfada. Manannan wielded it as his weapon, before passing it on to Lugh (his foster son). It was said to be a weapon that no armour could stop.

It was one of the Four Treasures of Ireland, The Sword of Air. Forged by the gods, it was given to Cúchulainn by Lugh, and later to Conn of the Hundred Battles. It was supposed to grant power over the winds.
