Calf was king of Leonster in 760 whenSigurd of Chalphy marched againstGrannvale, and Quan and theLanceritter marched through theAed Desert with Ethlyn and Altena to aid him. During their march, the Lanceritter were ambushed byTravant and theThracian army in what would be theAed Massacre, and were all killed but Altena, who was taken and adopted by Travant along with theGáe Bolg. Taking advantage of the chaos in Leonster and Grannvale, Travant invadedMunster; Calf responded to Munster's call for aid, and prepared what remained of Leonster's army to aid Munster.^[1] Prior to leaving Leonster, Calf orderedFinn to stay in Leonster with Leif, but to flee with Leif toUlster if they hear word that Leonster failed to defeat Thracia, and asked PrincessLachesis ofNordion to accompany them.^[2]
