- Bélchú (Old Irish "dog-mouth", also spelled Bealchu or Bealcu) of Breifne is a warrior of Connacht in the Ulster Cycle of Irish Mythology. According to legend, Bélchú finds the Ulster hero Conall Cernach close to death after his final combat with Cet mac Mágach, takes him home and tends to his wounds, intending to fight him when Conall is fit enough. As Conall recuperates, Bélchú regrets this honourable behaviour and tells his three sons to kill Conall as he sleeps in his sickbed. Conall overhears and makes Bélchú take his place in the bed, so when the sons arrive, they kill their father instead. Conall then kills the three sons, and takes all four heads home. You can also find Bélchú referenced in The Glenmasan Manuscript. The story is known as "Argain Belcon Breifne" or as "Togail Bruidne Bélchon Bréifne" (Massacre of Belcu Brefne). The site of the conflict is now the modern-day village of Belcoo, on the border of Counties Cavan and Fermanagh, which is reputedly named after Bélchú, although there are several colourful alternatives.

- Sa Rúraíocht, ba laoch na gConnacht é Béalchú (Sean-Ghaeilge Bélchú), as Bréifne. Tháinig Bélchú ar laoch na nUladh Conall Cearnach gar don bháis tar éis a bháire na fola le Cet mac Mágach. Thóg sé abhaile leis agus leigheas a ghonta. Bhí sé ar intinn aige dul i gcomhrac leis, agus Conall i mbarr a shláinte. Ach ba thrua le Bélchú as a iompar fiúntach, agus d'iarr ar a thriúr mac Conall a mharú ina leaba bhreoiteachta. Tharla gur chuala Conall é agus chuir sé iallach ar Bhélchú a áit a ghlacadh. Le teacht an triúr, mharaigh siad a n-athair i leaba Chonaill. Mharaigh Conall an triúr acu ansin agus d'imigh abhaile leis na ceithre cheann. Luaitear Bélchú sa Lámhscríbhinn Ghleann Masain., ina bhfuil ainm a scéil ná Argain Belcon Breifne nó Togail Bruidne Bélchon Bréifne. Deirtear go bhfuil suíomh na coimhlinte, Béal Cú, ar theorainn Chontae an Chabháin agus Contae Fhear Manach, ainmnithe as, cé go bhfuil sanasaíochtaí eile ann. (ga)

Egli trovò in fin di vita l'eroe dell'Ulster, Conall Cernach, dopo il suo combattimento finale contro Cet mac Mágach. Lo portò quindi a casa sua e lo curò con l'intento di affrontarlo in combattimento quando fosse stato sufficientemente in forze. Con uno stratagemma Conall riuscì a far uccidere nel sonno Bélchú dai figli di costui e poi li uccise tutti e tre, portando con sé come trofei le loro teste. (it)
