1057.  ^  ISonnchadh'].  —  All  the 
MSS.,  followed  by  the  Annals  of  Loch 
Ce  (ad  an.),  hare  Murchadh.  To  cor- 
respond therewith,  son  must  be 
changed  into  grandson ;  as  Murchadh 
was  slain  in  the  battle  of  Clontarf,  but 
Donchadh  had  a  sonnamed  Murchadh. 
As  this  was  apparently  a  general  en- 
gagement, it  seerns  more  probable  that 


the  mistake  of  the  transcription  took 
place  in  the  proper  name.  The  Fow 
Masters  solve  the  difficulty  by  omit- 
ting this  portion  of  the  entry.  O'Conor 
saw  nothing  that  required  correc- 
tion.

ANNALS    OP    ULSTEE. 


KALENDS  of  Jan.  on  4th  feria,  21si  of  the  moon;  [1057] 
A.D.  1057.  Niall  Ua  hEicnechain,  King  of 
Cenel-Endai,  -was  slain  by  his  own  [kinsmen]. — 
Dungal  Ua  Donnchadha,  King  of  the  Eoganacht  of  Cashel, 
fell  by  Murchadh  [Donnchadh]',  son  of  Brian  [Boruma], 
along  with  many  others. — Finnguine  Ua  Finnguine,  royal 
heir''  of  Munster,  fell  by  Mael-Sechlainn'  Ua*  Brie. — 
Echmarcach,  son  of  Cernach,  herenagh''  of  Dun-leth- 
glais,  went  on  his  pilgrimage^. — A  defeat  [was  inflicted] 
by  Kuaidhri  Ua  Ruadhacain  with  the  Airrthir  upon 
GUla-Crist  Ua  Faelchon  and  upon  the  Ui-Eachach. — Mael- 
ruanaidh  Ua  Focarta,  king  of  the  South  of  Eili,  fell 
by  Donnchad,  son  of  Brian  [Boruma]. — Muircertach 
Ua  Tresaich,  king  of  Ui-Barrce,  died. — Dubdalethe 
Ua  Cinaedha,  herenagh  of  Cork  and  Rpbartach',  son  of 
Ferdomnach,  successor  of  [St.]  Colum-cille,  slept  in  the 
Lord. — Domnall  Ua  Ruairc  was  kiUed  by  Domnall,  son 
of  Maelruanaigh,  king  of  Fir-Manach. 


^ Mael-Sechlainn.  Devotee  (Jit.  ton- 
sured) of  (St  ^  Sechlann  (or  Sechnall), 
disciple  of  St.  Patrick.  By  omission 
of  the  infected  s,  the  name  was 
Maelechlainn  (Melaghliu) ;  which,  in 
turn,  in  disregard  of  the  origin,  be- 
came Malachias  and  Malachy.  See 
Vol.  I.,  p.  8. 

*  Ua. — The  reading  of  B  (son)  is  also 
found  in  the  Annals  of  Loch  Ce  (ad 
an.)  But  TJa  (grandson),  the  lection 
of  A,  is  given  in  both  of  them  at  the 
year  1059,  where  the  killing  of  Mael- 
Seehlainn  is  entered.     C  follows  A. 

^  JJerenaijh. — For  the  explanation 


of  this  term,  see  O'Donovan,  Four 
Masters,  iii. ,  p,  47  sq. 

°  Went  on  Ms  pilgrimage. — That  is, 
either  over  sea ;  or,  more  probably,  to 
another  native  establishment  (perhaps 
Armagh ;  cf.  1003[=1004],  1037, 
supra,  1063,  infra),  to  end  his  life  in 
penitential  exercises. 

''  Robartach. — Abbot  of  Kells,  which 
at  that  time  (Adamnan,  p.  399)  was 
apparently  the  official  seat  of  the  suc- 
cessor of  St.  Columba.  Hesucpeeded 
Mael-Muire,  a.d.  lOiO  (supra).  Dr. 
Reeves  suggests  (loc.  cit.)  that  he  was 
son  of  Ferdomnach,  who  died  1007 
(=1008),  supra.

to  the  F.  M.,  by  his  own  son.  The 
items  of  this  entry  are  too  discrepant

13  fell  on  Wednesday;  but  in  1068, 
as  the  text  states,  on  Thursday. 

With  regard  to  the  lunar  reckoning, 
it  is  worthy  of  note  that  its  accuracy 
is  confirmed  by  the  old  rule  in  Bede 
(Z>e  rat.  temp,  xxii.)  '*  November  in  the 
Ides,  317."  Deduct  the  current  day 
and  add  the  January  epact  (as  given 
above),  27=343.  Divide  by  Sa 
(two  consecutive  lunations)  and  from 
the  remainder,  48,  subtract  30.  This 
gives  the  18  of  the  text.  New  Moon 
accordingly  fell  on  Oct.  27. 


^  Into  his  house. — An  idiomatic  ex- 
pression, signifying  to  make  formal 
submission. 

^  With. — Literally,  around. 

^  On  the  Ides. — The  Four  Masters 
say  that  Niall  and  his  son,  Eochaidh, 
died  on  Thursday,  Nov.  13,  1062. 
But  Tigernach  agrees  with  these 
Annals  in  placing  the  obit  of  Eochaidh 
at  1062,  and  that  of  his  father  at 
this  year.  Furthermore,  what  is  de-

Muircertach  Ua  Neill,  king  of  Telach-og,  was  slain  by  the 
Ui-Cremtainn Donnchadh,  son  of  Brian  [Boruma],  arch- 
king  of  Munster,  (was  deposed  and)  died  in  Rome  in  his 
pilgrimage. — Dubdaleithi  (son  of  Mael-Muire),  successor  of 
Patrick,  died  on  the  Kalends  of  September  [Sep.  1]  in 
good  penance.^  Mael-Isu,  son  of  Amalgaidh,  took  the

Hereby  are  to  be  corrected  the 
Calendars  (e.g.  Nicolas,  Chron.  of  Hist.; 
Hampson,  Med.  Aevi  Kal.')  that  place 
the  Golden  Number  XIX.  (1063  was 
tbelast  year  of  the  Cycle.)  at  October

Calendar,  Embolismal  Computus  and 
Decemnovennal  Tables  appended  to 
the  printed  editions  of  the  above- 
named  work  of  Bede. 

O'Donovan  queries  whether  "  the 
18th  "  refers  to  the  reign  of  Niall. 
But  at  1016  be  bad  given  the  slaying 


of  Niall's  predecessor  from  these 
Annals.  In  the  list  of  Kings  of 
Ulidia  in  L.  L.  (p.  41  d)  "  42  or 
50"  years  are  assigned  to  Niall.

Lochlaiun,   king  of  Ailech,  died  in  Telach-og  and   was    [1064] 
buried  in  Ard-Macha,  in  the  mausoleum  of  the  kings.^ — 
The  son  of  Llywelyn,"  king  of  the  Britons,  was  killed  by 
the  son  of  James. — Echmarcach^,  king  of  the  Foreigners 
[of  Dublin],  died. 

This  is  the  first  year  of  the  eleventh^  great  Paschal 
Cycle  from  the  formation  of  the  world  ;  but  the  com- 
mencement of  the  third"  great  Paschal  Cycle  from  the 
Incarnation  of  the  Lord.  And  it  hath  four''  bissextile 
Concurrents  and  is  the  second  year  of  the  Indiction. 

Kalends  of  Jan.  on  7th  feria,  20th  of  the  moon,  A.D.    [1065] 
1065.      Dubtach,    the    Scotsman,   chief    soul-friend    of 
Ireland  and  Scotland,  rested  in  Ard-Macha : 
Dubthach,''  perBon  righteous,  dour, 
For  him  there  will  be  a  dwelling  roomy,  noble. 
Heaven  the  soul-friend  found,  it  is  seen, 

Donnchadh  Ua  Mathgamna,  king  of  Ulidia,  was  killed^ 
in  Bennchar  by  his  own  [subjects]. — Domnall,  herenagh 
of  Lughbadh  and  the  Herenagh  of  Druim,  their  death* 
[took  place]. — Aedh  Ua  Ualghairg  took  the  kingship  of 


day  in  1064.  But,  as  shown  in  the 
text,  it  fell  on  Thursdaj'.  Uahet  (not 
A'a/.)  is  the  word  in  the  C.  MS. 

The  Calendar  use  of  Concurrents  is 
explained  in  text-booksof  Chronology. 

Bissextile,  also  distinguishes  this 
(the  9th)  year  from  the  4th,  15th  and 
26th  years  of  the  Solar  Cycle  of  28. 
These  three  j'ears  (in  the  Old  Style) 
have  four  Concurrents,  but  are  not 
bissextile.     The  Indiction  is  correct. 

1065.  ^  Dubhtach  — His  connexion 
■with  Ireland  is  told  in  the  Breviarj'  of 
Aberdeen;  In  qua  utriusque  Veteris 
et  Novi  Testament!  precepta  et  leges 
accuratissirae  didicit  (quoted  in  Ad- 
amnan,  p.  401).  He  probably  died 
on  a  pilgrimage  to  Armagh. 

The  last  line  of  the  quatrain  I  am 


unable  to  translate.  Thir  may  be 
for  iA[.sJiV,  continued,  constant,  O'Do- 
novan  renders  it:  "[In  exchange] 
for  his  fair,  thin-boarded  domicile." 
His  text  is:  ar  u  thir  clar  tana 
coernh  (p.  886-7). 

2  Was  hilled. — Marianus  Scotus, 
A.D.  1088  [=1066],  says  :  in  templo 
Bennchuir,  verno  tempore,  occiditur. 
His  slayer  is  given  by  name  in  the 
third  next  entry. 

'Their  death.  —  O'Couor  reads 
Droma-Anec  and  gives  the  equivalent 
as  Dromanecensis ;  taking  a  n-ec  (their 
death)  to  be  a  factor  in  a  local  name. 
He  adds  (obieruni),  to  find  a  verb  to 
complete  the  iiflaglnary  sense.  Dom- 
nall unAHerenayh,  according  to  native 
idiom,  are  nominatives  absolute,

Cenel-Eogain.— Brodur,  the  enemy  of  [St.]  Comgall/  who  [io65] 
slew  the  king  [Donnchadh]  in  Eennchor,  was  killed  by 
the  king  of  Dal-Araidhe.— The  son  of  Tadhg  Ua  Ceallaigh,

That  the  Screpal  (from  the  Latin

hardly  be  inferred  from  the  distinc-

[was  inflicted]  around  him  (namely,  on  Tuesday'  and  on

Scotland  with  them  in  hostageship.

pilgrimage  in  Ard-Macha. — Concobhar  Ua  Mael-

Ua  Mael-Sechlainn  in  violation  of  the  honour  of  the

son of  Ualgarg,  chief  of  Ui-Duibhinnracht ;  Cuchaille  Ua 
Finn,  king  of  Fir-Rois  ;  Cormac  Ua  Clothagain,  steward 
of  Munster,  died  in  penance. — A  hosting  by  Tairrdelbach 
[  Ua  Briain]  into  the  lEalf  of  Conn,  so  that  he  carried  off* 
countless  spoil  from^  the  Gailenga  and  killed  Maelmordha 
Ua  Cathusaigh,  king  of  Bregha. — Sitriuc,  son  of  Amhlam, 
[King  of  Dublin]  and  two  grandsons  of  Brian  [Boruma] 
were  killed  in  [the  Isle  of]  Manann. 


^  staff  of  Jesus A  crozier  tradi- 
tionally believed  to  have  been  given 
by  our  Lord  to  St.  Patrick.  At  first 
preserved  in  Armagh,  it  was  brought 
to  Dublin  at  the  end  of  the  twelfth 
century,  where  it  was  destroyed  by 
the  Reformers  in  1538.  See  O'Curry, 
MS.  Matenals,  p.  606. 

■*  In  presence  of  the  Staff. — From  this 
expression  it  may  be  inferred  that  the 
assassination  took  place  during  Divine 


Service.  The  Annals  of  Innisfalkn 
state  that  the  son  of  Fland  wrested  the 
Staff  from  Couchobar  and  struck 
him  with  it,  thereby  causing  his 
death.  Being  a  relic,  it  was  probably 
being  borne  at  the  time  by  the  king 
in  the  procession  of  the  Palms.

vati  (p,  910)  equates  Ailbe  and  the 
successor  of  St.  Moninne  (of  Newry), 
and  infers  that  this  is  an  instance  of 
a  married  woman  being  an  abbess. 
But  the  text  of  the  Fow  Masters  does 


not  necessarily  mean  this.  It  can 
signify  that  Colcu,  Aillbe  and  the 
abbess  died.  This  is  put  beyond  doubt 
by  the  present  entry,  where  the 
meaning  is  clearly  that  Aillbe  and

^  Gitla-Patraic. — Devotee  of  [St.  ] 
Patnch.  He  was  consecrated  in 
London  in  1073  by  Lanfranc,  Arch- 
bishop of  Canterbury,  in  accordance 
with  the  request  of  the  Dublin 
clergy.  He  made  a  profession  to 
Lanfranc,  from  whom  he  received 
letters  dignas  valde  memoriae  (Ap- 
pendix to  Anglo-Saxon  Chronicle),  to 
be  delivered  to  the  kings  of  Ireland.

1086.  Mael-Isu  Ua  Brolcain,^  master  of  wisdom  and  of 


as  grantor  of  land  to  [St.^  Drostan, 
in  the  second  Gaelic  charter  in  the 
Booh  of  Dia/r  (a  ninth  cent.  Evan- 
gelistarium  in  the  Puhlic  Lihrary, 
Cambridge).  His  obit  was  thus 
doubtless  recorded  in  the  Columban 
Annals;  whence  it  passed  into  the 
present  Chronicle. 

^Herenagh — The  Annals  of  Innis- 
f alien  call  him  Comoria,  i.e.,  successor 
of  [Finn-]barr ;  that  is,  bishop  of  Cork. 

*Infelicitausly. — That  is,  suddenly 
or  by  violence. 

1C86.  '  Mael-Isu  Ua  Brolcain — 
Of  Mael-Isu's  poems  in  the  native 
tongue,  that  in  the  Book  of  Hymns, 
with  the  rubric  Mael-Isu  dixit,  may 
perhaps  be  reckoned  as  oije.     It  con- 


sists of  three  quatrains,  praying  to  the 
Holy  Ghost  through  Christ.  The  final 
distich  embodies  well  the  Filioque 
clause  of  the  Nicene  Creed : 

A  Isu,  ronnoeba, 
Ransoera  do  iSpirut. 

"  O  Jesus!  may  Thy  Spirit  us  sane, 
tify,  us  save." 

Another  is  contained  in  the  Telloio 
Booh  ofLecan  (a  MS.  in  the  Librarj' 
of  Trinity  College,  Dublin,  classed 
H.  2,  16),  col.  336,  with  the  heading 
Mael-Isu  [MS.  form  is  Ihu.'jhVa  Brol-

the  Archangel  Michael  in  nine  stanzas.

ceciiiit.  This  is  a  bilingual  rhymed 
prayer  of  seven  stanzas  to  God  the 
Son.  The  opening  quatrain  will 
best  show  the  structure.  Its  singu- 
larity, no  doubt,  caused  the  chronicler 
to  class  the  author  as  an  adept  "  in 
poetry  in  either  language.'' 

Deus  mens,  adjuva  me, 

Tucc  dam  do  sherc,  a  mic  mo  De, 

Tiicc  dam  do  sherc,  a  mic  mo  De, 

Dens  meus,  adjuva  me. 

(The  second  line  means :  Give  to 
me  Thy  love  (=love  of  Thee),  0  Son 
of  mj'  God). 


From  the  foregoing  it  is  evident 
why  Ua  Brolcain  took  the  name  of 
Mael-Isu — Devotee  of  Jesus.

Thus  misled,  Colgan  perpetuated  the 
error :  Nulla  tamen  infirmitate 
correptus  {AA.  S3.,  p.  108).  His 
version  has  been  adopted  by  O'Conor 
(note  at  a.b.  1086  in  his  edition  of 
the  Annals  of  Ulster). 

'  Lay-brother.  — Literally,  ex-laic. 
The  athloech  was  the  laicus,  or /rater 
conversus,  of  the  Latia  Monastic 
Rules:  a  monk  who  was  neither  in 
Holy  Orders,  nor  bound  to  recitation 
of  the  Office.

forth)  first  (folio  42  d).  As  Ua 
Foelain  (O'Phelan)  was  member  of  »

remarkable  in  the  selection  of  the 
lowest  grade  in  the  monastery.

[namely]  by  the  king  of  Ailech,  into  Connacht,  so  that 
Ruaidhrigave  thepledges  of  Connacht  to  him  and  they  went, 
both  of  them,  into  Munster,  until,  they  burned  Limerick 
and  the  plain  as  far  as  Dun-ached  [and]  carried  away  with 
them  the  head  of  the  son  of  Cailech^  [Ua  Ruairc]  and 
razed  Cenn-coradh  and  so  on*. — Tighernach  Ua  Broein,^

was  slain  in  the  battle  of  Monecro-

he  renders  Ian  tadchoir  hy  plenaria

bered 500  years  from  St.  Patrick's 
advent  in  432  down  to  the  year  963  ! 
This  is  scarcely  worth  refutation. 
Tadchoir  is  a  well-authenticated 
word,  meaning  reversion,  return  (m 
fil  taidchw — there  is  not  return :  na 
bid  taidchw — let  there  not  be  re- 
turn. Wilrzburg  Codex  Paulinus,  fol.

it  signifies  Cycle.  The  full  Cycle 
means  the  great  Paschal  Cycle  of

when  the  queen  heard  of  the  death 
of  her  husband  and  son,  she  went 
with  her  priest  to  the  church,  re-

that  she  might  give  up  the  ghost. 


In  the  Brut  y  Tywysogion  (A.D.

might  not  survive  and  God  heard  her 
prayer,  for  by  the  seventh  day  she 
T/as  dead.

ing to  the  Anglo-Saxon  Chronicle, 
taken  forcible  possession  of  the 
throne,  on  the  death  of  his  uncle, 
in  the  preceding  year.  The  same

was  slain  at  the  instigation  of  his 
uncle,  Dufenal  [Domnall],  who 
(A.D.  1094)  thus  succeeded  him.  As 
this  agrees  with  the  Innisfallen 
Annals,  which  omit  mention  of  the

correct.

^  Great  fear.— See  771  (=772),

state  that  the  fear  arose  because  the 
Feast(Decollation)of  John  the  Bap- 
tist (August  29)  fell  on  Friday  in 
1096.     But  this  is  puerile  \   every 


festival  must  fall  four  times  on 
the  same  day  within  the  solar 
Cycle  of  28  years.  According  to 
the  so-called  Vision  of  Adamnan 
(L.B.,  p.  258b-259b),  great  havoc 
of  the  men  of  Ireland  was  to  be 
wrought  by  a  fiery  ploughshare, 
when  the  anniversary  in  question 
should  fall  on  Friday,  in  a  Bissextile

that  it  caused  destruction  of  birds  and  cattle  and  people  : 
whereof  grew  great  dearth  throughout  all  Ireland  and  in

upon  the  king  of  Connacht  (namely,  in  Ath-bo),  so  that

(F.  M.  ii.,  p.  1002)  says  it  was  at 
Lismore.  Dr.  Reeves  (^Adamnan,  p, 
406),  with  more  caution,  says  it  was 
seemingly  there.  According  to  the 
Annals  of  InnisJuUen,  Ua  Brolchain 
died  at  Lismore.  But,it  is  safe  to  infer 
that  he  retired  to  that  establishment  to 
prepare  for  his  end ;  whilst  the  pre- 
sent entry  cannot  be  construed  to 
signify  that  he  erected  any  buUding 
in  Lismore.  The  oratory,  it  is

1119. 1  7%e  3rd  —This  is  a  typical 
instance,  showing  the  value  of  the 
ferial  and  lunation.  The  Domini- 
cal Letter  was  E  and  the  Golden 
Number  XVIII .  March  1 0  of  the 
text  would  accordingly  be  Monday, 
moon  25.  On  the  other  hand, 
Thursday,  moon  25,  are  a  double 
proof  that  the  date  was  March  13. 
Consequently,  the  scribe,  by  the 
most  frequently  recurring  of  all 
errors,  mistook  ii,  for  «.,  thereby 
changing  3  (ira.)  into  6  {tii.). 

From  C.  it  may  be  inferred  that 
ul.  was  likewise  the  reading  of  A. 


The  Four  Masters  followed  the 
ui.  of  the  MS.  and  omitted,  as 
in  most  of  the  similar  instances, 
the  week-day  and  lunation.  Where- 
upon, O'Donovan  corrects  sixth,  into 
fourth,  noting  that  O'Clery's  Irish 
Calendar  gives  March  12  as  the  feast 
of  Mochoemoc,  This  is,  however,  a 
mistake.  All  the  native  authorities, 
including  O'Clery's  Marytrology  of 
Donegal,  assign  the  festival  to  the 
13th.  The  same  error  of  sixth  for 
third  occurs  in  the  Annals  of  Loch  Ce

^  Mochuaroc  of  the  Wisdom. — He  is 
thus  designated  in  the  Calendar  of 
Oengus  also.  Mochuaroc  signifies  my 
little  (literallj',  young)  Cuur.  In  a 
WiirzbuTg  Latin  MS.  of  the  8th 
century  in  Irish  character,  he  is 
said  to  have  committed  to  writing, 
lest  it  should  lapse  from  memory, 
a  Paschal  Computus  which  his 
master,  Mosinu  (or  Sillan,  third 
abbot  of  Bangor:  oh.  609=610, 
supra),  had  learned  by  rote  from  an 
erudite  Greek  (Schepss  :  Die  deltestm 
Evang  elienhandschriften  der  Wurz- 
burggr  UniversitdtabiiliotheJc,  p. 
27).  The  introduction  of  the  Decem- 
novennal  Cycle  into  his  monastery 
would  thus  account  for  the  epithet 
"of  the  Wisdom.'' 

Another  appellation  of  affection  is 
Cuaran  (little  Guar),  under  which 


title  he  Is  patron  of  Kilcoran  (Cell 
Cuarain,  Churoh  of  Cuaran — 
perierunt  etiam  ruinae),  about 
a  mile  west  of  Youghal.  He 
is  locally  remembered  in  a  native 
couplet  as  Cuaran  of  the  None.  The 
reason  is  given  in  a  bilingual  and 
partially  corrupt  gloss  in  the  L.  B. 
Calendar  of  Oengus.  /*  aii  e  atherar 
'  Mochuaroc  na  Nona  '  friss,  ar  is  e

■ — "  It  is  for  this  Mochuaroc  of 
the  None  is  applied  (lit.  said)  to  him, 
because  he  is  the  first  that  separated 
the  celebration  of  None :  for  by  the 
ancient  [monks]  it  used  to  be  cele- 
brated along  with  the  Middle  (Cano- 
nical) Hour  [Sext]." 

This  is  explained  by  the  Rule  of  the

recte,  9tli]  of  February  and  on  the  18tli  [of  the  moon]  and  on 
the  feast  of  [St.  J  Mochuaroc  of  the  Wisdom.^ — Cu-Maighi 
son  of  Deoradh  Ua  Flainn,  king  of  Derlas,  was  drowned  s 
in  Loch-Echach,  after  Inis-Darcarcrenn  had  been  taken 
from*  him  by  the  Ui-Echach,  wherein  fell  five  and  forty 
persons. — Gilla-Epscoip-Eogain^  Ua  Andiaraidh,  king  of 
Ciannachta,  was  killed  by  his  own  kinsmen  in  the  centre 
of  the  cemetery  of  Bennchar. — A  hosting  by  Tairrdelbach 
Tla  Conchobuir  and  by  the  Fifth  of  Connacht  into 
Desmond,  so  that  they  laid  waste  from  Magh-Feimen 
to  Tragh-Li,  both  lands  and  churches,  namely,  seventy 
churches,  or  a  little  more. — A  foray-hosting  by  Tairrdel- 
bach. Ua  Conchobair  and  by  the  Fifth  of  Connacht  again 
into  Desmond,  until  he  reached  the  Termon  of  Lis-mor 
and  obtained  cattle-spoil  innumerable  and  he  lost®  Muire- 
dach  Ua  Flaithbertaigh,  king  of  the  West  of  Connacht 
and  Aedh  Ua  Eidhin,  king  of  Ui-Fiachrach.  —  The 
steeple    \lit.,  bell-house]  of  Telach-Innmuinn  in   Ossory 


[1121] 


38  Abbots  :  A  prima  hora  usque  ad 
horam  tertiam  Deo  vacent  fratres ;  a 
tertia  vera  usque  ad  nonam  quidquid 
iniunctum-  fuerit  .  .  .  faciant 
(Cap.  X.).  Sext  was  thus  deferred 
from  the  sixth  hour  (12  noon)  until 
the  ninth  (3  p.m.)  and  joined  to 
None.  In  the  Benedictine  Rule,  this 
deviation  was  foUovired  from  Sep.  15 
to  Leut:  Hot  a  secunda  agatur  Tertia 
et  usque  ad  Nonam  omnes  in  opus 
suum  laborent.  The  change  effected 
by  St.  Cuaran  consisted  in  replacing 
the  celebration  of  Sext  at  the  proper 
Canonical  hour,  thus  leaving  None  to 
be  recited  separately. 

Colgan  {AA.  SS.  p.  302)  gives  the 
purport  of  the  L.  B.  gloss  as  follows : 
Vacatur  Mochuarocus  de  Nona,  idea 
quod  sit  primus  qui  curavit  celebra- 


tionem  Missae  fieri  seorsim,  quia 
cum  media  Nona  apud  antiques  cele- 
brabatur.  This  is  typical  of  Colgan's 
work  of  the  kind.  The  original, 
needless  to  Say,  makes  no  mention  of 
Mass  5  cvmi  media  Nona  is  meaning- 
less ;  whilst  the  ancient  monks  cele- 
brated Mass  after  Prime,  Tierce,  Sext 
and  None  respectively,  according  to 
the  different  seasons  of  the  liturgical 
year.

himself.

Kalends  of  Jan.  on  2nd  feria,  1st  of  the  moon,  a,d.  1123. 
The  Grailenga  captured  a  house  in  Daimliac  of  [St.] 
Ciannan  upon  Murchadh  Ua  Mael-Sechlainn,  king  of  Tara, 
so  that  they  burned  the  house  and  eighty  houses^  around 
it  and  killed  a  number  of  his  people.  Murchadh,  how- 
ever, escaped  by  protection  of  [St.]  Ciannan,  without  being 
killed  or  burned. — An  unprecedented  attack  ^  was  made 
upon  the  successor  of  [St.]  Ailbe^  (namely,  Mael-Mordha, 
son  of  Mac  Clothna)  :  to  wit,  a  house  was  seized  upon  him 
and  upon  the  son  of  Cerball  Ua  Ciarmhaic  (that  is,  the 
king  of  Aine),  in  the  centre  of  Imlech  itself,  so  that 
seven*  were  killed  therein.  Howbeit,  the  noble  persons 
escaped  therefrom,  through  favour  of  [St.]  Ailbe  and  of  the 
church.  There  was  likewise  burned  the  Gapped  [Bell]^ 
of  [St.]  Ailbe.  Now,  he  who  seized  the  house  was  killed 
before  the  end  of  a  novena,  namely,  the  Gilla-caech^  Ua 
Ciarmhaic — and  the  same  person  was  a  deacon®  by  pro- 
fession^— and  his  head  was  cut  off,  because  of ^  the  profana- 
tion of  [St.]  Ailbe  and  of  the  Lord. — Oeughus  Ua  Germain, 
successor  of  [St.]  Comgall  of  Bangor,  died  in  pilgrimage

A  Bissextile  and  Embolismali  year.  The  Men  of  Magh- 
Itha  (namely,  Domnall  TJa  Gailmredaigh  and  the  Cenel- 
Maien)  seized  a  house  upon  the  king  of  Fir-Manach,  that  is, 
upon  Faelan  TJa  Duibhdhara ;  and  he  fell  by  them,  and  a 
number  of  the  nobles  of  Fir-Manach  around  him. — Gilla-

This  expression,  according  to  the  Irish 
idiom,  implies  an  office.  In  the  Carl- 
sruhe  (Irish)  Codex  of  St.  Augustine 
(No.  cxcv.  fol.  19c),  culebath  glosses 
Jlahellum.  But  the  context  {quo  etiam 
muscas  ahigentes  aerem  commovemus) 
shows  that  here  the  word  is  taken 
literally,  gnat-destroyer.  The  em- 
ployment of  the  Jlalellum,  or  fan,  at 


Mass,  as  in  the  Greek  Church,  was  too 
striking  a  ceremony  to  escape  inciden- 
tal mention  in  native  hagiographj'.

the  son  of  Aedh  Ua  Dubhdai,  king  of  Ui-Amalghadha, 
and  many  others. — Muirghis  Fa  Nioic,  herenagh  of  Tuaim- 
da-ghualann  for  [a  long]  space,  died  in  Inis-in-GhailL— 
A  deed  ugly,  unprecedented,  ill-issuing,  that  deserved  the 
curse  of  the  Men  of  Ireland,  both  laic  and  cleric,  whereof 
the  like  was  not  found  in  Ireland  before,  was  done  by 
Tigernan  TJa  Euairc  and  by  the  Ui-Briuin :  namely,  the 
successor  of  [St.]  Patrick  was  stark  dishonoured  in  his  own 
presence  :  that  is,  his  retinue  was  waylaid,  and  some  of  them 
were  killed  ;  and  a  student  of  his  own  household,  who  was 
in  charge  of  the  sacred  requisites  and  relics  ^  was  lolled 
there. — Now  the  result  that  grew  out  of  this  iU  deed  is  this, 
that  there  is  no  protection  which  is  secure  for  a  person 
henceforth,  until  this  evil  is  avenged  by  God  and  by  men. 
For  this  disrespect  that  was  put  upon  the  successor  of 
Patrick,  it  is  the  same  as  disrespect  of  the  Lord  ;  since  the 
Lord  himself  said  in  the  Gospel :  "He  that  despiseth  you, 
despiseth  Me ;  he  that  despiseth  Me,  despiseth  Him  who 
sent  Me"  [Luke  x.  14]. — A  foray-hosting  by  Tairrdelbach 
Ua  Concobhuir  into  Leinster,  until  he  reached  Loch  Car-

wrought  great  destruction  of  cattle  on  that  route ;  from 
Ath-cliath,  to  his  house  again.  But  the  ill-fame  of  that 
hosting  is  upon  Tigernan  Ua  Ruairc. — A  foray  by  Magh-

(De  Vitia  Patr.,  viii..  Cf .  The  Stowe 
Missal,  Trans.  K.  I.  A.,  vol.  xxvii. 
p.  169).  That  veil  had  enough 
in  common  with  the  muscifugmm 
to  have  the  Irish  equivalent  of 
Jlahdhm,  applied  thereto.  Thence,  in 
a  secondary  sense,  culehadh  would 
come  to  signify  the  requisites  for  Mass 
and  for  administration  of  the  Sacra- 
ments ;  fo  cuUbadfi  designating  the 
custodian  thereof. 
The  circumstances  of  the  present 


outrage  suggest  a  more  comprehen- 
sive meaning.  When  engaged  upon 
a  visitation,  the  primate  always 
had  the  insignia  (=Irish  minna ; 
for  which  see  the  Stowe  Missal,  ubi 
sup.,  p.  174:)  of  St.  Patrick  carried 
about  with  him.  These  are  divi- 
ded into  consecrated  (insignia  con- 
secrata)  and  other  (aliorum  insig- 
nium)  in  the  Liber  AngeK  (Book  of

that,  by  a  perversion  of  the  prin- 
ciple    regulating     succession     in 
endowed    churches    [Senclias  Mor, 
Brehon  Laws,  i.  73  sq,  ;  Book  of 
Armagh,  fol,  L6d,  17a), temporarily 
diverted    the     primacy    into    lay 
hands,     The   head   of   the   name, 
Gilla-Crist  (Book   of    Leinster   p.

who  died  respectively  in  1072  and

ferred   thac    they   were    likewise 
incumbents  of  Ardpatriok.     That 
church    consequently  was   imme- 
diately   subject    to  Armagh :   its 
superiors    were    the  stewards,    or 


custodians,  of  the  primatial  cess  in 
Munster  and  were  selected  from  the 
families  in  question. 

Cellach  had  accordingly  arrived 
there,  either  to  visit,  whether 
officially,  or  through  courtesy  ;  or, 
it  may  be,  in  connection  with 
the  trace  between  Munster  and 
Connaught  mentioned  under  the

who  was  the  first  to  insert  it  in  the

(Book  of  Armagh,  fol.  206). 

Feidlimid,  who  belonged  to  the 
sixth  generation  from  Conn  of  the 
Hundred  Battles  (2nd  cent,  a.b.), 
had  amongst  his  five  sons  two 
named  Bresal  and  Echaid  :  epony- 
moas  heads  of  the  TJi-Bresail  and 
the  Ui-Echaeh,  whose  respective 
territories  were    the    baronies   of 


Oneilland  East  and  Armagh  foo. 
Armagh). 

Sixteenth  in  descent  from  Bresal 
was  Camnscach,  great  grandson  of 
Erudan,  who  held  forcible  posses- 
sion of  the  primatial  see  from  1060 
to  1064  and  died  in  1074  (supra). 

In  the  fourth  degree  from  Echaid 
was  Sinach,  eponymous  head  of  the 
Ui-Sinaioh.  This  was  the  sept  that 
supplied  almost  all  the  lay  succes- 
sion in  Armagh,  as  appearsfrom  the 
following  table  (Book  of  Leinster, 
pp.  334b,  33So;  Book  of  Ballymote, 
pp.  113-4).  The  genealogy  appears 
defective  by  comparison  with  that 
of  the  Ui-Bresail ;  but,  for  the  pre  - 
sent  purpose,  this  is  immaterial. 

Sixth  from  Sinach  was 
Eochad:

bishop of  Ireland)   consecrated  the  church  of  the  Monks 
[of  Mellifont,  near  Drogheda],  in  presence  of^  the  clergy  of 
Ireland,  that  is,  of  the  Legate  ^  and  of  Ua  Osein  and  of

of  Ireland  and  Donnchadh  Ua  Cerbaill  and  Tigernan  Ua 
Ruairc.     Moreover,  Muircertach  Ua  Lochlainn  gave  eight* 
score  cows  and  three  score  ounces  of  gold  to  the  Lord  and 
to  the  clergy.     He  gave  also  a  townland  at  Drochait-atha 
to  the  clergy,  namely,  Finnabhair-na-ningen.     And  three 
score    ounces    of    gold    [were    given]    by    Ua    Cerbaill

translation.) 

The  wonder  is  to  find  Lanigan 
(E.  S.  iv.  164)  led  astray  thereby. 
He  adda  however:  "This  synod, 
or  assembly,  was  held  for  the  mere 
object  of  consecrating  a  church  ; 
and  in  fact  very  little  more  seems 
to  have  been  done  by  it "  (p. 
167).

M.  omit  his  name,  and  also  those  of 
Ua  Osein  (archbishop  of  Tuam)  and 
of  Gremie    (archbishop  of  Dublin). 


The  emission  is  accordingly  re- 
peated in  the  hitherto  published 
accounts  of  the  transaction. 

O'Donovan  (p.  1126)  gives  the 
reading  of  C.  as  ''the  Legat  Ui 
Conorchi  and  the  bishops  also."  But 
it  is  :  "  the  Legat,  U  Osen.Grene  and 
the  bishops  also."

Cenel-Conaill,    was    killed    by    the    Cenel-Conaill  them- 
selves,— namely,  a    house    was    burned  by  Ua   Baighill 
upon    him. — Flaithbertach     Ua      Cathusaigh,     king   of 
Saitni,    died. — Finn  Ua    Germain,  bishop   of   Cell-dara, 
abbot  of  the  monks  of  Ibhar-Cinntrachta  for  a  [long]  time, 
passed  to   Christ. — Brodur,  son  of  Torcall,  king  of  Ath- 
cliath,  was  killed  by  the  South  of  Bregha.^ — The  defeat  of 
Magh-Lughad    [was   inflicted]    by  the  Cenel-Eogain    of 
Telach-oc  upon  Ua  Gailmredhaigh  and  upon  Domnall  Ua 
Cricain  and  upon  the  Ui-Fiacrach,  so  that  a  large  party  of 
them  were  killed.     And  it  is  on  that  occasion  Muircertach 
Ua  Neill  fell  innocently  [i.e.,  undesignedly]  by  Lochlann  Ua 
Lachlainn,  [but]  so  that  in  revenge  of  him  Lochlann  fell 
afterwards  by  the  son  of  Ua  Neill. — A  hosting  by  Muir- 
certach Ua  Lachlainn  along  with  the  Cenel-Eogain  and  the 
AirgiaUa,   until  they  came  to  Magh-dula,  to  expel  Ua

direction  of  Ua  Locblainn,  after  the  dishonouring^  of  the 
clergy  of  Ireland  and  of  his  oaths^  by  him.  And  his  {lit., 
the]  head  was  carried  to  Ard-Macha,  in  reparation  to* 
[SS.]  Patrick  and  Colum-cille.

Ua  hOissein,!  archbishop  of  Connacht,  passed  to  Christ. — 
The  circuit  of  Ossory  was  made  by  the  successor  of  Colum- 
ciUe,  namely,  by  Flaithbertach  Ua  Brolcha[i]n  :  that  is, 
seven  score  oxen  [were  given] :  but  it  is  their  value  that 
was  presented  there, — namely,  four  hundred  and  twenty 
ounces  of  pure^  silver  :  to  wit,  three  ounces  for^  every  ox- 
— GoefErey  Ua  Raghallaigh  [lord  of  Breifni]  was 
killed.* — A  hosting  by  Muircertach  Ua  Lochlainn  into 
Tir-Briuin  :  the  way^  they  went  [was]  past  the  Confluence 
of  Cluain-Eois,  through  the  length  of  the  country,  until 
Tigernan  [Ua  Ruairc]  abandoned  his  camp  to  them. 
From  that  to  the  Well  of  Messan.  The  Airgialla 
and  Ulidians  [came]  to  that  place  to  him  and  Mac 
Murchadha  with  the  Leinstermen  and  a  battalion  of 
Foreigners  [came],  so  that  they  all  went  into  the  Plain  of 
Tethbha.  Then  Ua  Conchobuir  came  from  the  west,  across 
the  Shannon  and  gave  pledges  to  Ua  Lochlainn  and  there- 
upon Ua  Lochlainn  gave  his  entire  Fifth  [i.e.  Province]  to 
him. — A  house  was  seized  by  Cathal  Ua  Raghallaigh 
upon  Mael-Sechlainn  Ua  Ruairc  in  the  centre  of  Slane, 
so  that  Muircertach  Ua  Ceallaigh,  king  of  Bregha,  was 
killed  there,  with  a  party  of  nobles  around  him.  Mael- 
Sechlainn,  however,  escaped  therefrom. — Imhar  Ua 
Innrechtaigh,  herenagh  of  Mucnom  and  king  of  Ui-Meith

it  can  be  inferred  that  the  churches 
of  Derry  stood  in  proximity.  On 
the  removal  of  the  adjacent  hoiises,  a 
circular  wall  was  built,  to  mark  off 


the  space  thus  acquired  as  one  to

laics  and  clerics,  at  Ath-na-Dairbrighe,  so  that  he  received 
the  pledges  of  them  aU.  It  is  on  that  occasion  the  churches 
of  Colum-cille  in  Meath  and  Leinster  were  freed  by  the 
successor  of  Colum-cille,  namely,  by  Flaithbertach  TJa 
Brolcha[i]n,  and  their  tribute  and  jurisdiction  were  given 
to  him,  for  they  were  subject^  before  that. 

Kalends  of  Jan.  on  2nd  feria,  12th  of  the  moon,  a.d.  1162. 
Total  separation  of  the  houses  from  the  churches  of  Daire 
was  made  by  the  successor  of  Colum-cille  (namely,  Flaith- 
bertach) and  by  the  king  of  Ireland,  that  is,  by  Muircer- 
tach  XJa  Lochlainn  ;  where  were  demolished  eighty  houses, 
or  something  more.  And  the  stone  wall  of  the  Centre^ 
was  likewise  built  by  the  successor  of  Colum-cille  and 
malediction  [pronounced]  upon  him  who  should  come  over 
it^  for  ever. — Imblech-ibhair  with  its  church  was  burned. 
— A  Synod  of  the  clergy  of  Ireland  [was  held]  around  the 
successor  of  Patrick,  to  wit,  around  GUla  Mac  Liach,  son  of 
Huaidhri,  at  Cloenad,  wherein  were  six  [and]  twenty 
bishops,  with  many  abbots,  enjoiningrule  and  good  conduct. 
And  it  is  on  that  occasion  the  clergy  of  Ireland  assigned^ 
the  Orders  of  archbishop  of  Ireland  to  the  successor  of 
Patrick,  as  it  was  before^  and  that  no  one  should  be 
lector  in  a  church  in  Ireland,  except  an  alumnus  of  Ard- 
Macha. — A  hosting  by  Muircertach  Ua  Lochlainn  along 
with  very  large  portion  of  the  Half  of  Conn  to  Magh- 
Fitharta,  so  that  they  were  a  week  therein,  burning  the

a  refugee.  (Cf .  the  Col.  Can.  Hib.

cum  septie  punienda.  Templum 
cum  septis  signifies  a  church  .sur-

^-^  Assigned — before.— That  is,  it 


was  enacted  that  henceforth  no  lay- 
man be  intruded  into  the  Armagh 
succession.  (Cf.  A.D.  1129,  note 
4,  supra.)  The  deep-rooted  abuse 
connected  with  the  primacy  was 
thereby  formally  eliminated.  It  is

Having  been  fostered  at  Cell- 
Caemhain  (church  of  St.  Caemhan  ;

Domnall  CaemanacliS  and  the  son  of  his  foster-brother,  to 
wit,  the  son  of  TJa  Caellaidhe,  were  killed  by  Ruaidhri 
Fa  Conchubhair,  through  suggestion  of  Tigernan  Ua 
Ruairc.) 

Ath-cliat¥  was  destroyed  by  Diarmait  Mac  Murchadha 
and  by  the  transmarine  men  he  brought  with  him  from 
the  east  to  destroy  Ireland,  in  revenge  for  his  expulsion 
over  sea  out  of  his  own  land  and  of  the  kilHng  of  his  son. 
Howbeit,  they  inflicted  slaughter  upon  the  Foreigners  of 
Athcliath  and  Port-lairgi  and,  on  the  other  hand,  many 
slaughters  were  inflicted  upon  themselves.  Moreover, 
Leinster  and  the  country  of  Meath,  both  churches  and 
territories,  were  destroyed  by  them  and  they  took  Ath- 
cliath and  Port-lairgi. 

A  great,  unbecoming  deed  was  done  by  the  monk, 
namely,  by  Amlaimh,  son  of  the  successor  of  [St.]  Finnian 
of  Magh-bile  and  by  Maghnus  Mac  Duinnsleibhe  [Ua 
Eochadha],  king  of  Ulidia,  along  with  the  chiefs  of 
Ulidia  and  with  the  Ulidians  besides,  except  the  bishop, 
Mael-Isu  and  Grilla-Domanghairt''  Mac  Cormaic,  successor 
of  [St.J  Comgall  and  Mael-Mai-tain,  successor  of  [St.J 
Finnian,  with  their  communities  :  that  is,  the  Congrega- 
tion of  Canons  Regular,  with  their  abbot,  whom  Mael- 
Moedoic  Ua  Morgair,  Legate  of  the  successor  of  [St.]  Peter, 
instituted  in  Saball  of  [St.]  Patrick,  were  expelled  out  of  the

Tke  meaning  was  probably  in 
substance  that  Mac  Murrough  was 
expelled  from  Ireland  for  the 
abduction  of  O'Eourke's  wife  and 
engaged  Fitz  Gerald  and  Fitz 
Stephen  to  aid  Tiim  in  recovering 
his  Mngdom. 

The  textual  entry  displays  con- 
siderable confusion.     The  order  of 


the  events  is  as  follows  :  (1)  East 
Leinster  laid  waste;  (2)  Dublin 
submits  to  Mac  Murrough ;  (3) 
Waterford  taken  with  great  loss 
of  life  ;  (4)  Dublin  taken, 
followed  by  slaughter  of  the 
citizens  ;  (5)  Meath  laid  waste  ; 
(6)  Mac  Murrough's  son  (and  the 
other  hostages)  slain  by.  O'Conor.

Kalends  of  Jan.  on  7th  feria,  2nd  of  the  moon,  a.d.  [1172 Bis.] 
1172.  The  kingi  of  the  Saxons  (namely,  Henry,  son  of 
the  Empress)  went  from  Ireland  on  Easter  Sunday  [April 
16],  after  celebration  of  Mass. — TigernanUa  Ruairc,  king 
of  Breifni  and  Conmaicni,  a  man  of  great  power  for  a  long 
time,  was  killed  by  the  same  Saxons  and  by  Domnall,  son  of 
Annadh  [Ua  Ruairc]  of  his  own  clan  along  with  them. 
He  was  beheaded  also  by  them  and  his  head  and  his  body 
were  carried  ignominiously  to  Ath-cliath.  The  head  was 
raised  over  the  door  of  the  fortress,^a  sore,  miserable 
sight  for  the  Gaidhil.  The  body  was  hung  in  another 
place,  wity  its  feet  upwards. — Tigernach  Ua  Mael-Eoin,^ 
successor  of  Ciaran  (of  Cluain-mac-Nois),  rested  in  peace. 
— Inis-Eogain  was  wasted  by  the  Cenel-Oonaill  and 
slaughter  inflicted  upon  its  inhabitants. — Defeat  [was  in- 
flicted] upon  the  Cenel-Eogain  by  Flaithbertach  Ua 
Maeldoraidh  and  by  the  Cenel-Conaill  and  great  slaughter 
was  put  upon  them.  A  marvel  [wrought]  by  the  saints 
of  God  [was]  that  thing  :  namely,  by  Patrick  and  by 
Colum-cille  and  by  the  saints  besides,  whose  churches 
they  destroyed. — Mael-Muire  Mac  Murchadha,  chief  of 
Muinnter-Birn  and  chief  and  king  of  the  Ui-Echach,  was 
killed  by  Aedh  Mac  Oenghusa  and  by  the  Clann-Aedha 
of  the  Ui-EchaCh  of  Ulidia.— The  full  circuit  [cess]  of  the 
Fifth  of  Connacht  [was  carried]  for  the  fourth  time  by 
Gilla  Mac  Liac,  successor  of  Patrick,  namely,  by  the 
Primate  of  Ireland,  to  Ard-Macha.^ — ^Domnall  Ua  Fergail, 
arch-chief  of  Conmaicni,  was  killed  by  the  people  of  the 
king  of  the  Saxons. — Gilla- Aedha,^  bishop  of  Cork,  a  man 
full  of  the  grace  of  God,  rested  in  good  old  age. 


* Gilla-Aedha.— Devotee  of  {St.)

phon to  the  exquisite  Evangeliste- 
rium  of  Mael-Brigte  in  the  British 
Museum  (Harleian,  1802,  fol. 
156b).  Of.  Appendix  to  Report 
on  Bymer's  Foedera,  Supplement, 
PI.  XVI.  ;  Reeves,  Proc.  R.I. A. 
V.  62-3),  he  is  called  grand- 
son of  Ruaidhri.  According  to  an 
interlinear  gloss  in  the  original 
hand  he  was  son  of  the  poet  of  the

styled  son  of  tJie  poet.

Ruaidhri,^  successor  of  Patrick,  archbishop  and  primate  of 
Ard-Macha  and  of  all  Ireland,  son  of  chastity,  full  of  purity 
of  heart  and  of  peace,  died  piously  after  choice  old  age,  on 
the  6th  of  the  Kalends  of  April  [March  27],  the  Wednesday 
after  Easter,^  in  the  87th  year  of  his  age,*  the  37th  of  his 
episcopacy.^  That  noble  man  was  sixteen  years  full 
honourably  in  the  abbacy  of  Colum-cille  in  Daire  before 
[receiving]  the  succession  of  Patrick. — Gilla-Mochaidbeo,^ 
abbot  of  the  Monastery  of  Peter  and  Paul  in  Ard-Macha, 
a  diligent,  steadfast  servant  to  the  Lord,  died  on  [Sunday] 
the  2nd  of  the  Kalends  of  April  [March  31],  in  the  70th 
year  of  his  age.

father ! 

^  S7ih  of  his  episcopacy.  —  He 
became  archbishop  on  the  resigna- 
tion of  St.  Malaohy  in  1137.  There 
is  independent  evidence  that  he 
was  primate  in  1138.  According 
to  the  colophon,  he  was  in  the 
succession  of  Patrick,  when  the

manded clergy  and  laity  to  submit,

it  being  customary  (in  time  of  war) 
for  the  Irish   to  carry  provisions 


for  safety  to  churches,  he  em-

Raghnall,  son  of  Echmarcacli  Ua  Catha[i]n,  was  killed  by 
the  Cenel-Maien  in  the  beginning  of  that  summer.  So, 
*in  revenge  of  that,  fell  Galach  TJa  Luinigh  and  Muircertach 
Ua  Peatain  and  it  is  in  revenge  of  it  the  treacherous 
attack  of  the  sons  of  Domnall  was  made  upon  the  Cenel- 
Moien.- — It  is  in  that  year  also  there  came  a  wonderful, 
violent  wind  which  prostrated  a  very  large  portion  of 
woods  and  forests  and  very  great  oaks  full  flat  on  the 
ground.  It  prostrated  also  six  score  oaks,  or  a  little 
more,  in  Daire  of  Colum-cille. — It  is  in  that  year 
likewise  went  John  [De  Courcy],  with  his  knights, 
pillaging  from  Dun  to  the  Plain  of  Conaille,  so 
that  they  took  many  preys  therein  and  were  a  night  in 
camp  in  Glenn-righi.  Howbeit,  Murchadh  Ua  Cerbaill, 
king  of  Airgialla,  and  Mac  Duinnsleibhe  [Ua  Eochadha] , 
king  of  Ulidia,  with  the  Ulidians  came  up  with  them  that 
night  and  made  an  onset  upon  them.^  Thereupon  defeat 
was  inflicted^  upon  the  Foreigners  and  stark  slaughter  was 
put  upon  them.  The  same  John,  notwithstanding,  went 
for  preys  into  Dal-Araidhe  and  into  Ui-Tuirtri.  But 
Cu-Midhe  Ua  Plainn,  king  of  Ui-Tuirtri  and  Fir  Li*, 
made  an  onset  upon  them^.  That  battle  also  went  against 
the  Foreigners  and  slaughter  of  them  was  inflicted. 

(The  attack  of  Cualnge^  [was  gained]  by  Ulidians  and 
by  Foreigners  over  John  De  Courcy.— Gilla-Crist^  Ua 
hEodhaigh,  bishop  of  Conmaicni  [Ardagh],  rested. — ■ 
Amhlaibh^  Ua  Domnalla[i]n,  oUam  of  Connacht,  rested.)

1179.  Namely,  the  2nd  of  the  Decemnovennal  [Cycle],  the 
3rd  year  above  a  Bissextile.  Peace  was  made  by  Donn- 
chadh  TJa  Cairella[i]n  and  by  all  Clann-Diarmata  with  the 
Cenel-Moien  and  TJa  Galmredhaigh:  namely,  with  Amlaim, 
son  of  Menman,  that  is  the  brother  of  the  wife  of 
Donnchadh  Ua  Cairilla[i]n,  in  the  centre  of  the 
church  of  Ard-sratha,  upon  the  relics  of  Domnach-mor 
and  of  the  Ernaidhe  and  of  Ard'sratha.  Thereupon  Ua 
Grailmredhaigh  came  on  the  morrow,  to  receive  additional 
sureties,  to  the  house  of  Donnchadh  Ua  Cairilla[i]n.  In- 
hospitable treachery'^  was  committed  in  the  midst  of  the 
assembly,^  at  the  door  of  the  house  of  Ua  Cairilla[i]n,  in 
the  presence  of  his  [Amlaim's]  own  sister,  namely,  the 
wife  of  Donnchadh :  that  is,  three^  of  his  [Amlaim's] 
people  were  killed  along  with  himself,  namely,  Cinaeth 
(that  is,  a  full  Biatach),  son  of  Art  Ua  Braca[i]n 
and  the  son  of  Gilla- Crist,  son  of  Cormac  Mac 
Reodain,  to  wit,  the  very  foster-brother  to  Donnchadh 
Ua  Cairella[i]n. — Ard-Macha  was  burned  for  the  greater 
part :  that  is,  all  the  houses  of  Canons  Regular  and  all  the 
churches  that  were  in  it,  all  were  burned,  save  the  house 
of  the  Canons  Regular  of  Brigit  and  the  church  of  the 
Relics.* — Ua  Ruadhacain,  king  of  Ui-Echach,  died 
after  three  nights'  illness,  after  his  expulsion  and  after  his 
profanation*  of  the  Canon  of  Patrick  a  short  time  before. 
— The  churches  of  Tir-Eogain  from  the  mountain  south- 
wards were  desolated  through  war  and  through  dearth  in 
that  year. — G-illa-Domnaigh^  Ua  Faranna[i]n,  herenagh  of 


ad  Sargifagum  Martyrum  (glossed 
on  the  margin  du  ferti  martur — to 
the  shrine  [lit.  grave]  of  the  relics) 
adeundum  ab  eoque  revertendum 
(Fol.  21d). 

*  Profanation. — This  took  place, 
probably,  by  breaking  an  engage- 


ment ratified  by  oath  on  the  Book 
of  Armagh,  anciently  called  the 
Canon  of  Patrick. 

^  Gilltt-Domnaigh,  —  Devotee  of 
Sunday  ;  i.e.,  one  zealous  for  the 
observance  of  that  day.

bertact  Ua  Maeldoraidh  through  treachery,  at  the  Bridge 
of    Slicech,    after  decoying  him  out  from  the  centre  of 
Druim-cliabh.   And  a  brother  of  his  was  killed  along  with 
him  and   a    party  of   his  people.     TJa   Gairb    (namely, 
Maghnus),  chief  of  Fir-Droma,  who  laid  [violent]  hands 
on  Ua  Cananna[i]n,  was  killed  by  the  people  of  Echmar-

seized  cows   there.     And   Domnall  Ua  Lochlainn  went 
against  them  with  a  force  of  his  own  party,  until  he  over- 
took them  at  Cabhan  of  the  High  Trees.     They  gave  them 
battle  and  it  went  against  the  Foreigners  and  slaughter  of 
them  was  inflicted.     And  a  thrust  of  a  foreign  spear  was 
given  to  the  king  alone,  so  that  he  fell  there  in  the  conflict :

deposed  by  the  Cenel-Eogain  and  the  coronation  of  Con- 
chobar  Mac  Lachlainn  [was  effected]  by  them.     And  he 
made  a  foray  into  Tir-Ennai,  so  that  he  took  away  cows 
innumerable  and  killed  people.      Then  came  Eicnechan 
TJa  Domnaill  with  the  fleet  of  Cenel-Conaill  and  with 
their  host  on  land,  so  that  they  formed  a  camp  at  Gaeth- 
in-cairrgin.       Thereafter   came   the    Clann-Diarmata    to 
Port-rois   on   the   other   side,   to   act  against  the   fleet. 
After   that,  there  were  sent  against  them   the   thirteen 
ships  full  of  the  host,  so  that  [the  battle]  went  against  the 
Clann-Diarmata.      Thereupon   Mac   Lachlainn   (namely, 
Conchubhur  the  Little)  came  to  their  aid,  until  his  horse 
was  wounded  and  he  fell  of  that  fall  by  the  Cenel-Conaill, 
in  reparation  of  [St.]  ColumTcille  and  of  his  successor  and 
of  his  Shrine  that   he  dishonoured.^     And  through  the

Well  used  he  keep  the  fair  Rule,

A  foray  by  Eignecan  Ua  Domnaill  into  Fir-Manach,  so 
that  they  seized  cows  and  the  Fir-Manach  overtook  them, 
so  that  Ua  Domnaill,  king  of  Tir-Conaill,  was  killed  there, 
with  slaughter  innumerable  of  the  nobles  of  Cenel-Conaill 
along  with  him.^ 

Kalends  of  Jan.  on  5th  feria,  21st  of  the  moon,  a.d.  [1209] 
1209.  A  foray-hosting  by  Aedh  Ua  Neill  into  Jnis- 
Eogain  and  Ua  Domnaill  overtook  him,  so  that  they  gave 
battle,  wherein  were  killed  a  countless  number  of  persons 
on  each  side.  Here  was  killed  Domnall  Mac  Murchadha 
of  the  Cenel-Eogain ;  also  Ferghal  Ua  Baighill  and 
Cathbarr  Ua  Domnaill  and  Cormac  Ua  Domnaill  and 
David  Ua  Dochurtaigh,  with  a  multitude  of  the  nobles  of 
Cenel-Conaill  along  with  them. — ^A  battle  was  fought  by 
the  sons  of  Raghnall,  son  of  Somurlech,  against  the  Men  of 
Sciadh,  wherein  slaughter  was  inflicted  upon  them  .^ 


the  king  (Feb.  10,  1204)  approved 
of  Kalph,  archdeacon  of  Meath, 
and  commanded  the  clergy  and 
laity  to  consider  him  elected  and 
obey  him  (Doc.  Ire.,  177,  178,  20D). 
These  letters  were  disregarded : 
perhaps,  never  reached  their  desti- 
nation. Echdonn  was  confirmed 
by  Innocent  III.  and  obtained 
peaceable  possession  of  the  See.  We 
next  find  the  king  availing  of  his 
services.  On  July  19  of  the  pre- 
sent  year,  he  informs   the   ousto- 


sends  Eugene,  archbishop  of  Ar- 
magh and  primate  of  Ireland,  to 
execute  the  episcopal  office  in  that 
diocese  and  commands  them  to  find 
him  suitable  maintenance  with  six 
horses  {ubi  sup.,  331). 

The  visit  here  mentioned  may 
have  been  one  of  the  reasons  that 
influenced  John  to  go  to  Ireland 
three  years  later.

magnanimity,  for  benevolence,  for  great  charity,  for  every 
goodness  besides,  after  most  excellent  penance  entered 
the  way  of  all  flesh  in  the  Penitentiary  of  Colum-cille. — 
The  castle  of  Cuil-rathain  was  built  by  Thomas,  son  of 
Dchtrach  and  by  the  Foreigners  of  Ulidia.  And  all  the

following.  By  public  script,  made 
at  Ayignon,  April  1,  1317,  four  de- 
legates (deputed  ad  hoc  by  Letters 
of  Edward  II.,  given  Dec.  16, 1216) 
agreed,  on  behalf  of  the  king,  to 
discharge  the  arrears  of  Henry  and 
Edward  II.,  amounting  to  24,000 
marks,  by  yearly  payments  of  one 
fourth  on  the  festival  of  St.  Michael, 
commencing  with  the  feast  next 
ensuing. 

Two  receipts  of  John  XXII. ,  in 
the  form  of  Letters  to  Edward  III., 
have  been  preserved.  The  first 
bears  date  April  7  [1330]  and  is 


three  next  items  are  given  in  the 
AnnaU  of  Loch  Ce  {ad  an.). 

*Aedh. — Of  this  person  I  have 
found  no  account  elsewhere. 

^  John. — The  author  of  D  mistook 
the  meaning  :  Papa  ipsa  redonauit 
regi  una  cum  mille  marchis,  etc. 
It  is  open  to  doubt  whether  it  was 
understood  by  the  translator  of  C  : 
"The  Pope  surreudred  them  againe 
to  himselfe  and  a  1000  marcks  to 
him  and  after  every  yeare700,"  etc. 

The  history  of  the  donation  and 
re-donation  is  sufficiently  well 
known.  (For  an  abstract  of  the

The  second,  of  July  5,  1333,  is 
for  the  year  ending  Sept.  29,  1330, 
and  the  half  year  up  to  Easter 
[March  31],  1331.  The  1,500 
marks    were   paid   in   6,000  gold 


florins,  "  singulis  marchis  pro 
quatuor  florenis  auri  oomputatis." 

This  was  apparently  the  last 
payment.  In  a  Brief,  Avignon, 
June  6  [1365],  Urban  V.  reminds 
Edward  III.  that  he  made  no 
remittance  since  July,  1333,  and 
states  that  bearer  was  empowered 
to  treat  of  this  and  other  pressing 
matters.  But,  with  respect  to  the 
arrears,  the  mission  seems  to  have 
proved  fruitless.  See  Theiner :

Fonachtan  Ua  Bronain,  successor  of  [St.]  Colum-cille, 
rested  in  peace.  And  there  ensued^  contention  between 
the  Community  of  Daire  and  the  Cenel-Eogain,  respecting 
the  selection  in  his  stead.  It  is  this  was  done  then  : 
the  Community  of  Daire  chose  Mac  Cathmail  into  the 
succession  and  Aedh  TJa  Neill  and  the  Cenel-Eogain  chose 
Flann  Ua  Brolcain.  After  that,  moreover,  there  ensued 
contention  between  the  Community  of  Daire  and  O'Brol- 
cain  and  O'Brolcain  was  put  out  of  the  succession.  After 
that,  moreover,  the  Community  of  Daire  and  the  Cenel- 
Eogain  chose  Muircertach  TJa  Millugain,  namely,  lector 
of  Daire,  into  the  succession.  And  he  had  the  lectorship 
and  the  succession  for  a  year,  or  a  little  more.  And  there 
ensued  contention  between  Geoffrey  Ua  Daighri,  namely,

Patrick  and  the  successor  of  Colum-cille  and  the  com-

^  James. — Said  to  have  been  Canon 
of  St.  Victor,  Paris.  Sent  as  Legate 
to  Ireland  (and  Scotland)  by  Hono- 
rius  III.  The  Brief  of  appoiatment, 
dated  Civita  Vecchia,  July  31 
(1220),  was  superscribed :  Eegibus 
Ultonie,  Corcaie,  Limrith,  Conatie, 
Ingularum  [of  the  Isles],  cuilibet  per 
se  (Theiner,  Vet.  Mon. ,-p-p.  15,  13). 

llespeoting  the  Irish  Legation, 
three  Papal  commissions  are  extant 
In  the  first  (Civita  Vecchia,  Aug. 
6  [1220]),  instructions  were  given 
to  abrogate  the  custom  [introduced 
by  King  John,  Jan  14,  17,  1216  ; 
Doc.  Ireland,  I.  736,  739]  that  no 
Irishman  should  receive  church 
preferment  (Theiner,  Vet.  Mon.,  p. 
16).  But  they  do  not  appear  to 
have  been  carried  into  effect.  The 
abuse  was  abolished  by  Honorius  in 
a  Brief  addressed  to  the  Irish  clergy 


(Lateran,  Ap.  26  [1224] :  Theiner, 
Vet.  Hon.,  p.  23). 

In  the  second  (Civita  Vecchia, 
Aug.  8  [1220]),  the  Legate  was 
directed  to  remove  the  grievance 
reported  by  the  archbishop  of 
Cashel :  namely,  whea  an  English- 
man lost  anything  and  got  six  other 
English  to  swear  they  believed  his 
oath  that  the  property  was  taken 
by  an  Irishman,  the  native,  though 
guiltless  and  of  good  name  and  life 
and  prepared  to  establish  his 
innocence  by  thirty  or  more  sworn 
witnesses,  was  nevertheless  com- 
pelled to  restitution  (Theiner,  Vet. 
J/o>-..,pp.  16,  17).  In  this  matter 
•likewise  no  action  was  taken.  After 
an  interval  of  more  than  thirty 
years,  the  "  damnable  custom  "  was 
condemned  by  Innocent  IV.  in  a 
Brief  (Perugia,  July  20  [1252])  to 
the  archbishop  of  Cashel  (Theiner, 
Vet,  Mon.,  p.  56). 

In  the  third  (Lateran,  March  19 
[1221]),  he  was  enjoined  to  adjudi- 
cate upon  four  complaints  of  the 
same  archbishop  and  the  king's  re- 
ply thereto,  touching  church  lands

(Theiner,  Vet.  Man.,  pp.  18,  20). 
Nothing,  however,  was  doue.  Four- 
teen years  later,  Gregory  IX. 
(Perugia,  Jan.  4  ['235])  com- 
manded the  archbishop  of  Dublin 
to  report  upon  the  matters  in 
question,  mentioning  that  James 
had  been  empowered  by  his  prede- 
cessor to  decide  them ;  but,  on 
account  of  his  departure,  no  pro- 
cess, it  was  reported,  took  place 
(sed,  propter  eius  recessum,  u  alius, 
ut  dieitur,  fuit  processus.  Theiner, 
Vet.  Mm.  p.  30). 

From  Letters  of  Henry  III.  to  the 
archbishop  of  Dublin  (Jan.  7,  1222  : 
Doc.  Ireland,  I.  1026)  and  Geofirey 
De  Marisco  (June  26,  1822  :  Doc. 
Ireland,!.  103^)  wp_leam  that  the 
Legate  deposed  and  sent  to  the 
Curia  the  bishops  of  KHlaloe  and 
Ardfert  [Travers  and  John  of 
Limerick,  intruded  by  De  Marisco, 
whilst  he  was  Justiciary].  In  a 
Brief  of  Honorius  III.  (Lateran, 
May  9  [1226]),  we  read  that  James 
imposed  perpetual  silence  upon 
Travers  and  caused  another  to  be 
consecrated  in  his  place  (Theiner, 
Vet.  Hon.,  p.  26). 
In  the  Annals  of  Loch  Ce  {ad  an. ), 


James  is  charged  with  gross  simony 
and  said  to  have  left  Ireland  in  the 
year  of  his  arrival.  The  second 
statement  is  confirmed  from  inde- 
pendent sources.  On  Nov.  20, 
1220,  Henry  III.  commanded  the 
Justiciary,  magnates  (archbishops 
and  bishops)  and  others  in  Ireland 
to  receive  honourably  Master  James, 
the  Pope's  Chaplain  and  Peniten- 
tiary, sent  as  Legate  and,  should 
anything  new  arise  touching  the 
state  of  the  country,  to  have  re- 
course to  his  counsel  and  aid  {Doc. 
Ireland,  I.  978).  On  Nov.  1  of  the 
following  year,  he  was  one  of  the 
witnesses  at  Westminster  to  the  sur- 
render of  Irish  castles  by  deputies, 
on  behalf  of  Geoffrey  De  Marisco, 
late  Justiciary  (Doc. /re.  I.,  1015). 

That  on  his  departure  he  ceased 
to  be  Legate,  may  he  inferred  from 
his  being  merely  styled  "  J[ames], 
Penitentiary  of  the  Pope"  in  the 
document  last  referred  to,  and 
"  J[ames],  Penitentiary  of  the  Pope 
and  late  Papal  Legate  of  Ireland  " 
in  Henry's  Letters  (already  men- 
tioned) of  Jan.  7  and  June  26,  1222.

nacht,  by  [invitation  of ]  the  sons  of  Ruaidhri  TJa  Concho- 
bair  and  by  invitation  of  all  Sil-Muiredhaigh,  save  Mac 
Diarmata  alone,  namely,  Cormac,  son  of  Tomaltach,  so 
that  he  went  through  the  length  of  Connacht  eastwards 
to  the  woods  of  Ath-luain,  so  that  he  was  a  night  at  the 
Heights  of  TJana.  And  they  pillaged  Loch-nen  and  he

by  Mac  Diarmata.  And  when  they  [the  Foreigners,  etc.,] 
did  not  catch  Ua  Neill,  they  followed  the  sons  of  Ruaidhri,

Much  light  is  thrown  on  these 
chits  by  the  plaint  made  in  person 
by  bishop  Jocelin  and  embodied  in 
a  Brief  of  Gregory  IX.  (Perugia, 
April  8,  1235  ;  Theiner,  ubi  sup. , 
p.  30),  appointing  judges  to  ex- 
amine whether  the  diocese  of 
Ardagh  belonged  to  Tuam,  or  to 
Armagh.  The  archbishop  of  Tuam 
consecrated  the  prior  of  Inismor 
(most  probably  Inishmore — great 
island — in  Longh  Gamna,  co.  Long- 
ford) bishop  of  Ardagh.  After- 
wards, Joseph  (Mag  Theichidhain), 
the  archdeacon,  who  had  officiated 
as  suchat  the  function, falsely  repre- 


sented to  the  primate  L[uke  Netter- 
ville],  that  himself  hadbeen  elected. 
Thereby  he  obtained  confirmation, 
caused  himself  (non  sine  symonie 
vitio)  to  be  consecrated  by  the 
authority  of  Luke's  successor 
(D  onatus)  and  was  intruded  by  lay 
influence  into  partial  possession  of 
the  diocese.    , 

The  canonical  bishop  having 
died,  "Magairy"  (=Mac  Sherraigh 
of  the  text),  the  new  archdeacon,  re- 
ceived consecration  from  the  Tuam 
metropolitan.  His  death  took  place 
within  the  same  year  (1230). 
"Whereupon,  the  intruded  obtained 
total  possession  and  proceeded  to

alienate  the  dlooesan  property. 
The  prior  of  "  St.  John's  outside 
the  new  gate  of  Dublin  "  and  his 
fellow  judges  (appointed  ad  hoc  by 
the  Curia,  on  the  complaint  of  the 
prior  and  canons  of  Ealbixy  (co. 
Westmeath))  quashed  the  election 
of  Joseph  as  uncanonical  and  un- 
confirmed by  his  own  (Tuam) 
metropolitan.  The  execution  of  the 
sentence  was  intrusted  to  the 
primate.  He,  however  (quadam 
peounie  summa  et  quibusdam  pro- 
curatoribus  symoniace  reoeptis),for 
the  second  time,  intruded  Joseph. 

But  the  church  having  been 
long  destitute  of  a  pastor  and  not 
free  from  the  danger  of  an  invader, 
the  archbishop  of  Tuam,  to  whom 
the  right  of  election  had  devolved  by 
lapse  of  time,  consecrated  JoceUn, 
"  a    monk    of    St.    Mary's    near 


Dublin."  (This  took  place  either 
at  the  close  of  1232,  or  in  the 
beginning  of  1233.  For  on  March 
1  of  the  latter  year,  Henry  III. 
commanded  the  justiciary,  Maurice 
KtzGrerald,  to  give  such  possession  of 
the  see  to  Jooelin,  consecrated 
bishop  thereof,  as  Robert  (sic),  his 
predecessor,  had  at  his  death  (D. 
I.,  I.  2018).) 

On  the  other  hand,  the  primate 
(non  sine  symonie  vitio,  ut  dicitur) 
confirnied  the  election  of  G-[elasiu3 
;=  Grilla-Isu],  a  priest  of  the  diocese, 
said  to  have  been  excommunicated 
(for  whom,  see  under  1237,  infra). 

A  palpable  hiatus  in  the  fore- 
going, namely,  the  death  of  Joseph, 
is  supplied  by  the  additional  obit 
of  the  text.  The  omission  of  his 
demise  by  the  original  compiler 
shows  that,  in  the  chronicle  from

that  he  had  been  informed  that  de 
Burgh  seized,  imprisoned,  and  griev-

an  unexpected  result.  In  a  Letter 
addressed  to  the  bishops  of  Annagh- 
dowu  and  Clonfert  (dated  Jan.  10, 
1244),  Innocent  IV.  appoints  them 
judges  in  a  complaint  made  by  the 
bishop  of  Killaloe  against  the  arch- 
bishop of  Cashel.  After  his  con- 
secration, Kichard  de  Burgh,  the 
Justiciary,  retained  the  regalia, 
refusing  to  give  them  up,  except 
on  payment  of  a  sum  of  money. 
Whereupon  the  bishop  threatened 
to  excommunicate  any  one  paying 
the  mulct.  Verum  quia  tandem, 
ipso  penitus  ignorante,  anobili  yiro, 
D.  Carbrecb,  domino  Tuadomonie, 
Laoniensis  diocesis,  contra  in- 
hibitionem  huiusmodi  dicta  fuit  per-

Raghallaigh,  by  direction  of  Feidhlimidh,  this  year  also.

The  last  sentence  is  the  rendering 
of  the  textual  Tadhg  item. 

3  Went  into  Saxon-land. — The 
object  of  this  journey  appears  from  a 
mandate  of  Henry  III.  (St.  Sever, 
May  6,  1243)  to  the  justiciary  of 
Ireland.  A[lbert],  archbishop  of 
Armagh,  had  lately  come  to  the  king 
in  Gascony,  demanding,  in  right  of 
his  church,  restitution  of  Drogheda, 
Iiouth  and  other  vills,  and  of  the 
manor  of  Nobber  (co.  Meath),  this 
last  having  belonged  to  Hugh  de 


Lacy,  late  Earl  of  Ulster.  Eitz 
Grerald  was  commanded  to  take  with 
him  the  treasurer  of  Ireland  and  the 
Seneschal  of  Meath  and  enquire  into 
the  archiepiscopal  rights ;  which  the 
king  neither  will,  nor  ought  to, 
subtract  from.     (D.  1.,  I.  2618). 

*  HugJi  de  iac?/.— Erroneously 
given  under  next  year  in  the  Annals 
oj  Loch  Ce.  Henry  III.  -wrote  to 
the  justiciarj-  of  Ireland  (Bordeaux, 
Feb.  8,  1243)  that,  by  law  and 
custom  of  Ireland,  the  king  may 
distrain  widows  by  their  lands  to 
take  husbands  of  the  king's  choice, 
provided  the  widows  be  not  dis- 
paraged. Fitz  Gerald  is  com- 
manded that,  if  A[melina],  widow 
of  Hugh  de  Lacy,  will  not  marry 
Stephen  Longespee,  as  the  king  had 
requested  her,  he  shall  distrain  her 
to  do  so,  according  to  the  custom  of 
Ireland.  {D.  I.,  I.  2600).  De 
Lacy  must  accordingly  have  died  in 
the  preceding  year.

'  The  Justiciary. — On  Jan.  30, 
1246,  Henry  III.  wrote  to  Maurice 
Ktz  Gerald  that  David,  son  of 
Llewellyn,  late  prince  of  North 
Wales,  broke  the  treaty  of  peace 
with  the  king,  invaded  the  king's 
land  of  Wales,  slew  his  subjects, 
and  tried  to  seduce  the  Welsh 
barons  from  their  allegiance.  The 
king  prays  the  justiciary,  magnates 
and  subjects  of  Ireland  (which  he 
wishes  to  share  in  his  conquest)  to 
join  him  in  revenging  such  treachery. 
Ktz  Gerald  is  commanded,  amongst 
other  matters,  to  certify  what  pro- 
vision and  force  he  can  despatch  to 
the  king's  aid  and  to  confer  with 
the  magnates  thereupon  (Z).  /.,  I. 
2733). 


'  Feidhlimidh.  —  On  March  29, 
1245,  letters  of  safe  conduct  for  one 
year  were  issued  for  him,  in  coming 
to  the  king.  On  Oct.  21,  1245, 
letters  of  protection,  dated  from  the 
camp  at  Gannoc  (Carnarvonshire), 
were  granted  to  him  until  the  king's 
arrival  in  Ireland  (Z>.  /.,  I.  2738- 
78).

His  name  was  John  O'hUghroin. 
On  the  death  of  Donnohadh  in

respectively.  Both  appealed  by 
procuration  to  Innocent  IV.,  who 
was  then  in  Lyons.  In  a  Letter 
addressed  to  the  archbishop  of 
Tuam,  dated  July  3  (1245),  the 
Pope  decided  ia  favour  of  John  and 
gave  a  dispensation  in  the  defect 
arising  from  his  having  been  de 
soluto  geniius  et  soluta.  See  Annals 
of  Loch  Ce,  1244-5;  to  be  supple-

Kalends  of  Jan.  (on  3rd  feria,  21st  of  the  moon,)  a.d. 
1247.  Mael-Sechlainn  TJa  Domnaill,  king  of  Tir-Conaill, 
and  the  ["Wry-]necked^  Grilla  Ua  Eaighill  and  Mac 
Somairligh  were  killed  by  Fitz  Maurice  in  Bel-Atha- 
Senaigh.  And  the  Cenel-Conaill  held  the  Ford  for  an 
entire  week,  so  that  they  allowed  neither  Foreigner  nor 
Gaidhel  across,  until  Cormac  Ua  Conchobair  played  a 
ruse  in  the  end.  That  is,  Cormac  went  with  the  horse- 
host  throughout  the  length  of  the  plain  westwards  and  he 
turned  after  that  upwards,  throughout  the  length  of  the 
same  plain,  to  the  edge  of  the  morass  and  went  close 
thereby  eastwards,  until  he  reached  the  Ford  of  Ouil- 
Uaine  on  the  Erne.  And  the  Cenell-Conaill  noticed  not 
until  they  saw  the  great  horse-host  [advancing]  to  them, 
on  the  side  of  the  river  on  which  they  were.  And  whilst 
the  Cenel-Conaill  had  their  attention  upon  the  horse-host 
on  their  rear  side,  the  Foreigners  plunged  into  the  Ford, 
so  that  the  Cenel-Conaill  and  the  ["Wry-]necked  Gilla 
Ua  Eaighill  and  Mac  Somairligh  met  Fitz  Maurice  in 
Bel-Atha-Senaigh  [and]  fell  there. — The  castle  of 
Mac  Goisdelbh  was  pulled  down  by  the  sons  of  Aedh  Ua 
Conchobair. — Great  war  was  made  by  Toirrdelbach  (son 
of  Aedh  Ua  Conchubhair)  and  by  the  sons  of  the  kings  [of 
Connacht]  (against  the  Foreigners  this  year)  and  many 
towns  were  burned  and  many  Foreigners  slain  by  them. —

'  Raighned. — The  apparent  incon- 
sistency of  this  and  the  final 
(additional)  entry  of  the  preceding 
year  is  explained  by  the  Letter, 
dated  Lyons,  Oct.  8  (1246),  of 
Innocent  IV.  directing  the  Domi- 
nican Prior  of  Drogheda  and  the 
Franciscian  Guardian  of  Dundalk 
to  serve  citations  in  the  matter  of 
the  Armagh  succession .  When  the 
See  became  vacant  (by  resignation 
of  the  German,  Albert),  the  Chan- 
cellor, against  the  consent  of  the 
rest    of    the    Chapter,    postulated 


Germanus,  bishop  of  Rathluraigh 
(Derry).  The  archdeacon  appealed 
to  the  Pope,  who  through  the 
aforesaid  Prior  and  Guardian  en- 
joined all  concerned  to  appear 
before  the  Curia  on,  or  before,  the 
next  Letare  Jerusalem  Sunday  (the 
fourth  Sunday  of  the  following 
Lent,  March  10,  1247).  (Theiner, 
uii  sup.,  p.  45.)  The  present  entry 
of  the  Annals  shows  that  the  elec- 
tion of  Germanus  was  set  aside,  and 
Raighned  [Reginald  ?]  made  arch- 
bishop.

went  [with]  a  host  to  Cuil-     ers  of   Ireland  to    Cuil- 


Witli  respect  to  the  bishopric  of 
Eathluraigh  (Eathlurensis),  valu- 
able information  is  contained  in 
another  Letter  of  the  same  Pope, 
dated  Lyons,  May  31  (1247),  trans- 
ferring the  See  therefrom  to  Derry. 
From  the  time  of  the  delimitation 
of  the  dioceses,  the  See  tVas  in 
Derry.  Sed  postmodum  bonae 
memoriae  Ocophtyg  [Ua  Cob- 
thaigh],  predecessor  eiusdem  (i.e. , 
of  the  bishop  who  postulated  to 
have  the  See  moeed  back  to  Derry)

sem,  de  qua  idem  predecessor 
originem  duxerat,  illectus  natalis 
soli  dulcedine,  a  Sede  Apostolioa 
non  petita  lioentia  neo  obtenta, 
transtulit  motu  proprie  voluntatis. 


The  Ua  Cobhthaigh  (O'Ooffey) 
here  mentioned  was,  no  doubt,  the 
bishop  of  that  name  who  died  in 
1173,  supra.  The  foregoing  is 
strong  confirmatory  evidence  that 
the  Bishop's  Chair  offered  to  the 
Abbot  Ua  Brolchain  in  1158  meant 
the  dignity  of  mitred  abbot.  It 
seems  incredible  that  an  abhot- 
bishop  of  Derry  should  remove  the 
See  from  there  to  Maghera  (Rath- 
Luraigh).

his  successor,  David  (Mac  Carroll), 
was  ratified  by  Innocent  IV.,  Aug. 
17,  1254.  The  delay  arose  from 
the  objection  of  the  suffragan

the  election  was  invalid.  For  the 
conclusive  reply,  see  the  Bull  of

that  he  was  a  friar,  probably  a 
Dominican.  From  the  date  of  the 
royal  licence  to  elect  his  successor, 
Feb.  20,  1257,  it  may  be  inferred 
that  he  died  towards  the  close  of

The  original,  which  is  more  pro- 
lix, forms  in  the  JFour  Masters  a 
continuation  of  the  account  given 
in  the  preceding  Note.  Donal, 
according  to  Charles  0' Conor,  was 
son  of  Donal  Mor  by  a  daughter 
of  Cathal  Eed-hand,  king  of  Con- 
nacht. 

In  the  second  century,  the  Atta- 
cots  cut  off  the  Milesian  nohihty, 
with  the  exception  of  the  queen, 
who  was  pregnant.  She  escaped 
to  Scotland,  where  she  gave  birth 
to  a  son,  Tuathal  TecJitmar, 
{wealthy).  In  time  he  returned; 
was  received  favourably  and  re- 
established the  Milesian  dynasty.

1257,  Alexander  IV.  set  aside  the

Walter,  Dean  of  St.  Paul's,  London 
and  Papal  Chaplain,  to  the  arch- 
bishopric of  Tuam.  Walter  was 
consecrated  by  the  Pope,  most  pro- 
bably in  Viterbo,  where  the  Bull  is 
dated.  He  died  at  latest  early  in 
the  following  year.  On  April  22, 
1 238,  thearchbishop being  deceased, 
a  royal  mandate  was  issued  to  the 
escheator  of  Ireland  to  take  the 
lands  and  tenements  of  the  See 
into  possession.  {D.  I.,  III.  576.) 
O'Conor  had  been  bishop  of  Elphin 
{ib.  621-2-4).  He  is  called  Thomas

Kalends  of  Jan.  (on  1st  feria ;  7th,  otherwise  4th,  of  the  [1262] 
moon),  A.D.  1262.  A  great  host  [was  led]  by  Mac  William 
[de  Burgh]  into  Connacht,  so  that  much  was  destroyed  by 
him.  Feidhlimidh  Ua  Conchobuir  and  Aedh,  his  son  and 
the  nobles  of  Connacht  went  to  Es-ruadh  before  them 
with  very  great  part  of  the  cows  of  Connacht  with  them 
for  the  war,  so  that  they  made  peace. — A  great  foray  was 
made  by  Aedh,  son  of  Feidhlimidh,  on  the  Foreigners  of 
Sliabh-Lugha  and  into  Ciaraidhe,  so  that  they  took  many 
cows  away  with  them  and  killed  many  Foreigners. — Mael- 
8echlainn,^  son  of  Tadhg  TJa  Conchobair,  bishop  of  Oil- 
finn,  rested  in  Christ. — Cormac,  son  of  Domnall  Mag 
Carrthaigh  the  Stammerer,  was  killed  by  Foreigners. 

[A.D.  1263]  DomnaU^  XJa  Domnaill  killed  Bonn  [I263j 
O'Breislen  in  the  court  of  the  bishop  in  Eath-both. —

Diarmait,  son  of  Cormac  [Mac  Diarmataj,  rested  in  Christ. 
— Aengus  Ua  Clumain,  bishop  of  Luighni  [Achonry], 
rested  in  Christ. — Thomas  Ua  Ceallaigh,  bishop  of  Cluain- 
ferta,  rested  in  Christ.^ — Ebdoim,*  king  of  Lochlann,  died 
in  the  Isles  of  Ore  in  coming  to  Ireland. — A  hot  Summer

^Rested  in  Christ.— The  Dean 
and  Chapter  of  Clonfert  wrote  for 
royal  licence  to  elect,  Thomas,  the 
bishop,  having  died  on  the  Epi- 
phany [Jan.  6],  1263  (X>.  /.,  III. 
742).  This  goes  to  prove  that  the 
Loch  Ce  chronology  is  correct  at 
this  year. 

^Ebdonn. — "According  to  the -Saga 
Hakonar  Hakonarsonar,  the  Irish 
had  sent  ambassadors  to  king 
Hakon,  offering  to  submit  them-

The  archbishop  of  Armagh  an- 
nulled the  election  of  the  arch- 
deacon, who  proceeded  to  Kome  to 
prosecute  an  appeal  and  died  there. 
On  Dec.  3,  1?63,  Urban  IV.  pansed 
over  the  abbot  and  appointed  John 
de  Alneto,  a  Franciscan  resident  in 
Ireland  (Theiner,  pp.  92-3).  On 
the   28th  April,    1265,    John  was 


excused  on  the  plea  of  incurable 
infirmity  by  Clement  IV.,  who  re- 
served the  appointment  to  himself

perfect  benefactor  to  the  human  race,  rested  in  Christ. — 
Gilla-na-naem  O'Ferghail,  the  most  choice  of  the  chiefs  of 
Ireland  in  his  own  time,  rested  in  Christ.^ — Aedh,^  son  of 
Feidhlimidh  Ua  Conchobuir,  king  of  Conuacht  and  future 
arch-king  of  Ireland,  the  man  most  feared  and  victorious 
that  was  in  Ireland,  rested  in  Christ. — Tigernan,  son  of 
Aedh  Ua  Huairc,  king  of  Breifni,  rested  in  Christ. — 
Eogan,  son  of  Euaidhri  Ua  Ooncobair,  king  of  Connacht 
for  a  quarter  [of  a  year],  was  killed  in  the  Monastery  of 
the  Friars  in  Ros-Comain  (by  his  own  kinsmen). — Aedh,

Tomaltach  Mag  Oirechtaigh  and  by  counsel  of  Gilla-

Dartraighe,  rested  in  Christ. — Tadhg  Ua  Dalaigh  (namely, 
son  of  Cerball  the  Tawny,  in  our  opinion),  a  good  master

feast  of  the  Finding  of  the  Holy 
Cro8S.  Accordingly,  at  this  year 
the  Annals  of  Ulster  are  three  years 
in  advance.  In  1274,  May  3  fell 
on  Thursday  ;  in  1271,  on  Sunday. 

^Rested.  — Namely,  died  a  natural 
death.  So  the  two  MSS.  and  the 
two  translations.  But  there  can  be  no 
doubt,  from  the  proofs  given  in  the 
A.  L.  C,  that  he  was  slain.  The 
correction  interlined  in  A  is  con- 
sequently well  founded. 

•*  Died  in  the  Curia.  — That  is,  in 


the  Papal  Court.  '  Ware  (^Bishops, 
ed.  Harris,  p.  271)  states  on  ihe 
authority  of  the  "  Annals  of  Loch- 
Kee  "  that  Bishop  O'Scoba  died  at 
Borne  ;  but  it  is  clear  that  Ware 
did  not  quote  from  the  original  of 
the  present  volumes,  as  there  is  no 
mention  of  Rome  either  in  this  MS., 
or  in  the  so-called  Annals  of  Con- 
nacht.' (Note  to  A.  L.  C,  i.  p. 
478. )  Ware  most  probably  quoted 
from  C,  in  which  in  Curia  is  inter- 
lined over  in  Chris  to.

1272i[-5].  Art,  son  of  Cathal  the  Swarthy  [Ua  Euairc], 
king  of  Breifni,  died.^— Ruaidhri,  son  of  Toirrdhelbach 
Ua  Concobuir,  was  taken  prisoner  by  his  own  kinsman,^ 
[namely]  by  Tadhg,  son  of  Toirrdhelbach  TJa  Conchobaii- 
(and  Tadhg,  son  of  Cathal  Mac  Diarmoda  was  despoiled 
completely  by  him)  and  Conchobur,  son  of  Ferghal,  son 
of  Donnchadh,  son  of  Muircertach,  was  killed  by  his  own 
kinsman.— The  bishop  Ua  Laidhig/  bishop  of  Cell-aladh, 
rested  in  Christ. 

(Ruaighri  Ua  Conchubhair  escaped  and  took  Conchu-  (1272) 
bhar  Ua  Ainli  with  him.  But  they  were  well  followed 
and  Conchubar  was  caught  and  killed. — Cairbre  Ua 
Sguaba/  bishop  of  Eath-both,  rested. — Art,  son  of  Cathal 
the  Swarthy  [Ua  Euairc],  king  of  Breifni,  was  killed  by 
the  Muinnter-Ghearudhan. — Thomas^  Mag  Shamhrughain

Kalends  of  Jan.  [on  4th  feria,  12th  of  the  moon],  a.d.  [1276  Bis.] 
1273i[-6].     Aedh"  the  Momonian,  son  of  Feidhlimidh  [Ua 
Conchobair],  came  out  of  Munster  into  the  midst  of  Con- 
nacht  and  the  children  of  Toirrdhelbach  [Ua  Conchobair] 


[1276]  izj'/J.— The  entries  of 
the  (textual)  year  1273  are  given 
in  the  A.  L.  C.  under  1276. 

^  Aedh.— This  item  is  rather  a 
mnemonic  note  than  a  historical 
record.  Its  brevity  is  misleading, 
as  Well  as  obscure.  According  to 
Mageoghegan's  Version  of  the 
Annals  of  Clonmacnoise  :  "  A  base 
son  was  presented  to  Felym  Mac 
Cahall  Crovederg  O'Connor,  after 
the  death  of  said  Ffelym  a  long 
space,  who  was  called  Hugh  Moy- 
neagh,  because  he  was  nurished 
and  brought  up  in  Munster  and 
came   to    Connoght  from    thence. 


And  as  soon  as  he  came  and  was 
known  to  be  the  son  of  Felym, 
Silmoreye  [Sil-Muiredhaigh,  the 
O'Conors]  and  Clann  Moyleronie 
[SiL-Mailruanaigh,  the  O'Flynns] 
accepted  of  him  and  had  him  in 
great  accoumpt  and  reverence." 

On  being  accepted  as  king,  the 
sons  of  Toirdelbach  (Torlough), 
Ruaidhri  and  Tadhg,  fled  into 
Tirconnell  to  O'DonneU.  Their 
coming  into  the  ccmntry  is  the  foray 
mentioned  in.  the  first  additional 
entry.  They  were  slain  in  1278(= 
1275  of  the  text).

years  antedated.  A,bout  June,  1279, 
the  primate  wrote  to  the  king  in 
favour  of  the  Franciscan,  Malachy, 
who,  when  Tuam  lately  became 
vacant  by  the  death  of  T[omaltach], 
was  postulated  by  the  dean,  arch- 
deacon and  some  of  the  canons 
(Z>.  /.,  IL  1576). 

At  the  election,  five  canons  voted 
for  canon  Nicholas ;  the  dean  and 
the  remaining  two,  for  Malaohy. 
The  matter  was  referred  to  the 
Curia.  The  protracted  proceedings 
that  ensued  are  detailed  in  the  Bull 
of  Honorius  IV.  (July  12,  1286)

^  Sons  of  Toirdhelbach.  —  The 
editor  of  the  A.  L.  O.  suggests  sms 
of  Tomaltach;  because,  as  the  sen- 
tence stands,  Toirdelbach  takes 
vengeance  on  Tomaltach  for  having 
abandoned thefather  of  Toirdelbach 
to  the  sons  of  Toirdelbach.  Per- 
haps,  however,    there     existed    a 


family  feud  between  Toirdelbach 
and  his  father  on  the  one  side  and 
the  sons  of  Toirdelbach  on  the  other.

omitted  the  passage  containing  the 
difficulty.

deaconship  to  deaconship  and  em- 
powered (May  26)  to  receive  priest's 
Orders  from  any  bishop  he  should 
chose  (ti.  144).  On  the  same  day 
the  bishops  of  Killala  and  Clonfert 
■were  directed,  either  of  them,  with 
two  other  suffragans,  to  give  him 
episcopal  consecration  (ib.). 


In  addition  to  being  rector  of 
Athenry  in  Tuam,  he  held  a  bene- 
fice in  Cashel,  KiUaloe  and  Killala 
respectively  !  To  discharge  the 
church  debts  of  Tuam  and  support 
the  archiepiscopal  dignity,  he  was 
allowed  (Aug.  6,  1289)  to  retain 
these  four  preferments  for  three 
years  and  to  receive  one  year's  re- 
venue of  every  benefice  vacated 
during  the  threeyearsnext  ensuing, 
due  provision  being  made  for  the

The  ooncluding  words  shew  that 
the  person  who  made  the  additional 
entry  at  this  year  had  the  CatJiolicon 
before  him.

Its  chief  interest  lies  in  the  fact 
that  it  was,  according  to  Trithe- 
mius,  the  first   example  of  block 


printing.  Treating  of  John  of 
Guttenberg  and  John  Eust,  he 
says  {Chron. Hirsaug.  wlan'.  1460)  :

Kalends  of  Jan.  (on  2nd  feria,  27th  of  the  moon,)  a.d. 
]287i[-91].  Toirdhelbach,  son  of  Eogan  Ua  Concobuir, 
the  person  who  was  greatest  and  handsomest  and  who  was 
best  of  hospitality  and  prowess  and  triumph  that  was  in 
Ireland,  was  killed  by  Niall  Ua  Concobuir  the  Tawny. — 
A  host  [was  led]  by  Eichard  de  Burgh  [namely]  by  the 
Earl  of  Ulster  (that  is,  the  E,ed  Earl)  into  Tir-Eogain, 
whereby  he  deposed  Domnall,  son  of  Brian  Ua  NelU  and 
Niall  Culanach  CNeill  was  made  king  by  him.  And  when 
the  Earl  left  the  country,  Niall  Culanach  was  killed  by 
Domnall  Ua  Neill.  And  the  son  of  Aedh^  Ua  Neill  the 
Tawny  (namely,  Brian,  son  of  Aedh  the  Tawny)  was  made 
king,  with  assent  of  the  same  Earl,  by  Mac  Martin  and  by 
Mac  Eoin.  And  Domnall  left  the  country. — A  host  [was 
led]  by  the  Earl  into  Tir-Conaill  against  Toirdhelbach 
[Ua  Domnaill],  so  that  he  harried  the  country,  both  church 
and  territory.  And  he  came  into  Connacht  (o  Oil-finn 
and  the  Connachtmen  gave  deceptive  pledges^  to  him.—

[129i;i  1  i-i',5'7  =  1291  of  the 
A.  L.  C. 

^  Sonof  Aedh — (namely,  Brian). — 
The  collocation  of  the  subject  (after 
the  agent)  has  led  the  authors  of 
C  and  D  astray.  C  gives  :  "And 
was  made  king  after  by  the 
consent  of  the  Earle  aforesaid  by 
Mac  Martin  and  Mac  Eoin  Mao 
Hugh  Boy  O'Neale."  Eead  "  The 
son  [mac]  of  Hugh  Boy  [rte  Tawni/'] 
was  made  king,"  etc.  D  has: 
Bernardus  [recte,  Brianus],  filius 
Odonis  Flauui,  regnauit  authorltate 
Comitis  et  per  institutionem  Mag 
Martin  et  Macke  Euoyne,  filiura 
Odonis  Flaui.  Mac  Eoin  and  mac 
Aedlia  are  here  erroneously  taken  to 
be  in  apposition. 

A  scribal  error,  which  passed  un- 


noticed by  the  editor,  occurs  in  the 
A.  L.  C.  (1291).  The  person  who 
was  made  king  is  called  Niall,  son 
of  Aedh.  In  the  entry  of  his  death 
at  12S5  in  the  same  Annals,  he  is 
rightly  named  Brian,  son  of 
Aedh. 

'  Deceptive  pledges. — That  is,  they 
intended  neyertbeless  to  cast  oShis 
authority  as  soon  a^  they  could ;  C 
makes  an  extraordinary  blunder  in 
this  place :  "  Connaght  made  him 
the  Feast  of  St.  Briget  I "  That  is, 
fel,  deceit  is  taken  for  /eiV,  feast 
and  braighde,  pledges,  for  Brighde, 
gen.  of  Brigit,  a  personal  name.  D 
also  errs :  Inhabitantes  tradiderunt 
eidem  viles  tantum  obsides.  The 
F.  M.  omit  fel,  which  is  the  chief 
word.

Concobur  Ua  Dubhda,  king  of  TJi-Fiaclirach,  was  drowned  [1291] 
in  the  Shannon. — A  general  muster  was  made  by  Catbal 
Ua  Concobuir  and  by  Niall  the  Tawny  and  by  all  the  folk 
that  they  bad  capable  of  rising  out,  both  Foreigners  and 
Gaidhil,  to  depose  Magbnus.  And  they  gave  battle  in 
Caradh-Culainn  (otherwise,  [Caradh]-Chulmaile)  and  Catbal 
was  injured  therein  and  Murchadh,  son  of  Tadhg  Ua  Con- 
cbobuir  and  otber  persons  [were  killed  there].  And  many 
horses  were  taken  from  the  people  of  Maghrius  and  defeat 
was  inflicted  upon  himself  and  he  went  therefrom  secretly.* 
— And  many  preys  were  made  by  the  people  of  Cathal  Ua

wounding  of  Cathal  in  Cairpre.  And  Magbnus^  O'Con-

the  country  and  his  own  land  was  given  to  him.  Great 
recrimination  and  contention  [however]  happened  between

deposed  by  bis  own  tribe  and  the  Clann-Muircertaigh  were 
brought  into  the  country  in  his  stead  and  headship  and 
hostages  were  given  to  Concobur  the  Red,  son  of  Oathal 
[Ua  Conchobair].  And  the  whole  country,  both  church 
and  territory,^  was  destroyed  through  that  deposition.  All 
the  district  of  Cairpre  was  burned  and  destroyed  by  the 
Clann-Muircertaigb  and  the  churches  of  the  territory  were 
attacked  by  them.  And  God  and  Colum-cille  and  Mary, 
tbe  Queen,  whose  churches  they  profaned,  avenged  [this]. 
— A  great  host  was  mustered  by  the  same  Aedh  of 
Foreigners  and  Gaidhil  under  William  de  Burgh  and 
under  Tbeobald  de  Burgh,  so  that  they  were  four  nights 
in  tbe  country  and  they  destroyed  the  crops  and  chattels 
of  all  the  country.  And  the  chiefs  of  the  country  came 
into  their  bouse  [i.e.,  submitted]  then.  They  took  them 
with  them  to  the  house  of  the  Earl  [Richard  de  Burgh], 
to  make  peace  with  Aedh.  And  though  they  promised, 
they  kept  not  the  peace  and  they  united  again  with  that 
same  Clann  on  returning  to  their  homes.  That  same 
Aedh  came  into  "  The  Territories.''  O'Ferghail  and  Mag 
Raghnaill  with  their  forces  he  brought  with  him.  And 
messengers  were  sent  to  the  Mac  Diarmatas  and  O'Flan- 
naga[i]ns  and  they  returned  into  the  country  in  conse- 
quence of  that  message.  And  Conchobur  the  Red 
followed  and  made  a  foray  upon  them.  They  turned 
upon  these,  namely,  upon  the  foray  force  and  Concobur 
the  Red  was  killed  by  Mac  Diarmata,  in  driving  the  prey. 
And  Lochlainn,  son  of  Concobur,  was  taken  and  Maghnus, 
son  of  Tomaltach,  was  taken  and  a  small  number  of  other 
persons  were  killed  there.  And  where  that  was  done  is  in

^  Monastery  of  Friars. — According 
to  the  A.  L.  C.  they  were  Domini-

by  Geoffrey  Mac  Longhlin  (ib.  405). 
The  contemporary  bishop  of  Connor

12). 

^  Cluain-mac-Nois.  — :  Forgetting 
that  Clonmacnoise  was  par  excel- 
lence the  Cluain,  the  F.  M.  read 
Clonfert,  an  error  adopted  by 
O'Donovan  (iii.  469)  and  the  editor 
of  the  A.  L.  C.  (i.  519).  The 
Franciscan,  William  O'Duffy,  was 
elected  bishop  of  Clonmacnoise  in 
1290  {D.  I.,  III.  726-35)  and  died 
before  Aug.  5, 1297  (ib.  IV.  429). 


The  bishop  of  Clonfert  at  the 
time  was  Robert,  a  Benedictine  of 
Christ  Church,  Canterbury,  ap- 
pointed by  Boniface  VIII.  (Jan.  2, 
1279:  Theiner,  p.  158), in  succession 
to  John  of  Alatri  (collector  of  the 
papal  tenth  in  Ireland)  promoted 
to  the  archbishopric  of  Benevento. 

*  Basting. — The  war  in  Flanders 
is  intended.  Edward  crossed  over 
in  Aug.  1296  and  returned  in  March 
1297.     {D.  I.,  IV.  p.  xvi.) 

^  Went. — According  to  the  F.  M. 
both  went  (a  ti-'oot  aifiaon)  and 
Melaghlin  died  on  the  journey.  In 
support  hereof,  the  editor  (iii.  468) 
quotes  the  A-text,  with  a  n-X)tii, 
(they  went)  for  a  ■Dtil  (he  went) ! 

But  the  A.  L.  C,  a  reliable

tories "  with  a  strong  force,  so  that  they  took  many  preys 
and  spoils.  Flann,  son  of  Fiachra  Ua  Floinn,  future  chief 
of  Sil-Mailruanaigh  and  Brian,  son  of  Donnchadh  Ua 
Conchobair  the  Swarthy,  along  with  many  other  persons, 
were  killed  in  the  rere  of  that  prey  by  the  pursuing  party. 
Much  of  the  preys  was  held  fast  and  another  part  was 
wrested.  These  indeed  are  the  best  that  were  there : 
Ruaidhri,  son  of  Cathal  Ua  Concobuir  and  Donnchadh,  son 
of  Concobur  "of  the  Groblet,"  son  of  Fergal,  son  of  Donn- 
chadh, son  of  Muircertach  Mac  Diarmata,  one  fit  to  be 
king  of  Sil-Mailruanaigh  for  felicity,  for  generosity,  for 
prowess  up  to  that  day.  This  is  [what  Donnchadh  did]  : 
he  went  forward  to  the  stronghold  of  Ua  Conchobuir 
and  burned  the  palace  of  the  kings  of  Connacht,  along 
with  the  houses  of  the  stronghold.  Aedh  Ua  Concobuir 
overtakes  him  and  wrests  the  prey  from  him  and  he  is 
killed  after. — Donnchadh  Ua  Flaithbertaigh,  bishop  of 
Cell-aladh,^  most  eminent  of  the  Gaidhil  for  liberality  and 
piety,  died  in  Dun-buinne,  in  the  end  of  Spring  before

1313^[-16].     A  large  host  was  mustered  by  Feidhlimidh 
Ua  Concobair  and  by  Mac  Feorais  [Birmingham]  and  by 
the  Foreigners  of  the  West  of  Connacht.     They  came  to 
the  Causeway  of  Moin-Coinnedha.    Ruaidhri  Ua  Concobuir 
went  against  them  and  they  engaged  with  each   other. 
Ruaidhri  Ua  Concobuir,  king  of  Connacht,  was  killed^ 
there  along  with  Diarmait  Mac  Diarmata  the  Foreigner, 
king  of  Magh-Luirg  and  Cormac  Mac  Ceithernaigh,  king 
jof  Ciaraidhe  and  noble  gallowglasses    and   many    other 
persons.       The  kingahip   of   the  Fifth  was  assumed  by 
Feidhlimidh  again.     And  a  large  host  was  led  by  him  to 
the  assault  of  Ath-lethan  and  the  place  was  burned  by 
him.     And  Blevin  de  Exeter,  lord  of  the  town  and  de 
Cogan,  the  noblest  baron  that  was  in  Ireland  and  many 
other  Foreigners  were  killed  by  them.    And  many  chattels 
were  got  by  them.     Their  fame^  and  their  renown  went 
throughout  Ireland,  so  that  many  submitted  to  them. — A 
great  hosting  was  undertaken  by  Feidhlimidh,  together 
with  the  nobles  of  the  Fifth  [of  Connacht]    and   with 
Donnchadh  O'Briain,  king  of  Munster  and  0'Mael[-ShJec- 
lainn,  king  of  Meath  and  Ual[gh]arc  O'Ruairc,  king  of 
Breif  ni  (Ual[gh]arc  O'Ruairc  took  the  kingship  that  year) 
and  O'Ferghail,  king  of  Muinter-hAnghaile  and  Tadhg 
O'Cellaigh,  king  of  Ui-Maine  and  Maghnus,  son  of  Dom- 
nall  Ua  Concobuir,  tanist  of  Connacht  and  Art  O'hEaghra, 
king  of  Luighni  and  Brian  O'Dubhda,  king  of  Ui-Fiach- 
rach.      They    went,    aU  those,   to    Ath-na-righ.      The 
Foreigners  of  the  West  of  Connacht  all  assembled  against 
them:  to  wit,  William  de  Burgh  and  the   Baron  Mac 
Feorais  [Birmingham],*  lord  of  Ath-na-righ  and  all  the 

menoes  on  TMCaxoli  25  ;  the  change 
of  the  Dominioal  Letter,  on  the

exaggeration.    How  transient  was

Foreigners  of  the  greater  part  of  the  Half  of  Conn.  Battle^  [1316  Bis  ] 
was  engaged  in  by  them  and  defeat  inflicted  on  the  Gaidhil 
there.  Feidhlimidh  O'Concohuir  (son  of  Aedb,  son  of 
Eogan),  king  of  Connacht,  was  slain  there :  the  one  person 
on  whom  the  attention  of  the  Men  of  all  Ireland  was  most 
directed  and  who  was  best  in  generosity  and  prowess- 
Tadhg  TJa  Cellaigh,  king  of  Ui-Maine,  was  slain  there  and 
eight  and  twenty  of  the  Clann-Cellaigh  that  had  right  t(i 
kingship  [of  Ui-Maine]  were  slain  there.  Art  0'hEghra,king 
of  Luighni  was  slain  there.  But  [for]  one  thing,  there  was 
not  slain  in  this  time  in  Ireland  the  amount  that  was  slain 
there  of  sons  of  kings  and  of  chiefs  and  of  many  other 
persons  in  addition. — Ruaidbri,  son  of  Donnchadh,  son  of 
Eogan  Ua  Concobuir,  was  [then]  made  king  by  the  Con- 
nachtmen. — A  hosting  [was  made  after  that]  by  WilHam 
de  Burgh  into  Sil-Muiredhaigh.  O'Concobuir  and  the  Con- 
nachtmen,  with  the  exception  of  MacDiarraata,made  peace.^ 
Mac  William  [de  Burgh]  came  into  Magh-Luirg.  Great 
preys  were  brought  by  them  from  Ath-in-chip  and  from 
TJachtair-tire  and  the  whole  country  was  burned  and 
pillaged  by  them.  They  went  from  out  the  country  after- 
wards. The  same  Ruaidbri  was  deposed  by  Mac  Diarmata''' 
after  that. — Derborgaill,^  daughter  of  Maghnus  Ua  Con- 
cobuir, died. 

Kalends  of  Jan.  [on  7th  feria,  15th  of  the  moon],  a.d.  [1317] 
1314i[-17].  Toirdelbach,  son  of  Aedb,  son  of  Eogan  [Ua 
Conohobair]  was  made  king  by  the  Connachtmen. — Robert 
Bruce,  king  of  Scotland,  came  to  Ireland^  along  with  many 
gallowglasses  in  aid  of  Edward,  his  brother,  to  expel  the 
Foreigners  from  Ireland.— Meyler  de  Exeter,  lord  of  Ath- 


[1317]    i/j^^=13l7    of    the 

A.  L.  C. 

2  Came  to  Ireland.— Bruce,  accord- 
ing to  Clyn,  came  about  Christmas, 


1316.  But,  having  regard  to  Clyn'a 
A.r.  notation  ([1327],  note  4,  infra), 
this  does  not  exclude  the  beginning 
of  1317.

were  not  accepted  from  him  and  those  forces  penetrated  to 
the  centre  of  his  camp.  And  there  was  not  fear^  and  there 
was  not  flight  for  Cathal  respecting  that  expedition 
Cathal  sallied  from  the  houses  forth  and  they  engage  with 
each  other.  But  [for]  one  thing,  Conchobhur  O'Ceallaigh, 
king  of  Ui-Maine  and  Brian,  son  of  Toirdelbach  TJa  Con- 
chobhuir,  one  fit  to  be  king  of  Oonnacht,  were  killed  and 
many  other  persons  [were  lost]  both  by  killing  and  by 
wounding.  The  same  Cathal  invaded  Connacht  and 
Toirdelbach  O'Concobhuir  was  deposed.  And  Cathal 
took  the  kingship  of  Connacht  and  marie  great  forays 
on  Mac  Diarmata. — John,  son  of  Domnall  Ua  Neill, 
was  killed*  by  Aedh  O'Domnaill. — Richard  de  Clare^  was 
killed. — Edward  Bruce,  the  destroyer  of  Ireland  in 
general,  both  Foreigners  and  Graidhil,  was  killed  by  the 
Foreigners  of  Ireland  by  dint  of  fighting  atDun-Delgan.®

of  Insi-Gall  [Hebrides]  and  Mac  Domnaill,  king  of  Airthir- 
Graidhil  [Argyle],  together  with  slaughter  of  the  Men  of 
Scotland  around  him.  And  there  was  not  done^  from  the 
beginning  of  the  world  a  deed  that  was  better  for  the  Men 
of  Ireland  than  that  deed.  For  there  came  dearth  and 
loss  of  people  duing  his  time  in  all  Ireland  in  general  for 
the  space  of  three  years  and  a  half  and  people  undoubtedly 
used  to  eat  each  other  throughout  Ireland. — Greofirey 
O'Ferghail,  chiefs  of  the  Anghaile,  rested  in  Christ. — 
Great  snow  in  that  year. — John  O'Ferghail  was  killed  by

Amlam  Mag  Uidhir.— The  Baron  [Richard]  Mac  Feorais 
[Birmingham]  died.*— William  [de  Burgh]  the  Grey,  son 
of  William  Mor,  died. 

Zalends  of  Jan.  [on  7th  feria,  21st  of  the  moon],  a.d.     [1323] 
1320i[-3].      Cairpri^    0'Mael[-Sh]eclainn    was    slain.— 
Jenkin  O'Fergail  was  killed  by  the  sons  of  John  O'Fergail. 
— O'hEaghra  was  killed  by  Ua   Connmaca[i]n3  in  that 
year. 

Kalends  of  Jan.  on  1st  feria  [2nd  of  the  moon],  a.b.  [l824Bis.] 
1321i[-4].  William^  de  Burgh,  son  of  William  Mor, 
died. — The  same^  cow- destruction  (namely,  the  Mael- 
domnaigh*)  [prevailed]  throughout  Ireland. — Cathal,  son 
of  Domnall,  son  of  Tadhg,  son  of  Brian,  son  of  Andrew, 
son  of  Brian  of  Luighni,  son  of  Toirdhelbach  Mor  [Ua 
Conchobair],  king  of  Connacht,^  the  person  the  most  active 
and  of  most  goodness  and  success  that  was  in  the  same 
time  with  him,  was  killed  by  Toirdhelbach  O'Conchobuir 
and  by  the  Connachtmen  likewise.  And  Mael-Sechlainn, 
son  of  Toirdhelbach  Ua  Domnaill  and  Grilla-Orist  Mac 
Donnchaidh  junior  and  many  other  persons  were  killed 
there.  Toirdhelbach  (son  of  Aedh,  son  of  Eogan)  Ua 
Concobuir  took  the  kingship  of  Conna'cht. — Eaghnall^ 
Mag  Eaghnaill  junior,  chief  of  Muinter-Eolais,  was 
killed. 


Clyn  states  he  died  on  Septuage- 
tsima  [Sunday,  Feb.  11],  1323-4: 
he  true  date,  judging  from  the 
precision  of  the  diurnal  notation. 

^  Same.— Mentioned  in  the  last 
entry  of  [1321],  supra. 

*  Mael-domnaigh. — The  meaning 
of  this  ■word  in  conneotion  with  a 
murrain  ia  unknown  to  me.  (The 
literal  sense  is  devotee  of  Sunday.) 

Item,  hoc  anno,  scilicet  1324, 
fuit  pestis  gravis  boum  et  vacoarum 
in  multis  locis  Hibernie  (Clyn). 


Fuit  pestis  communis  vacoarum 
et  etiam  aliorum  animalium,  quae 
dicebatur  in  Hibemia  Maldaw- 
[naj'jA?]  {Annal,  Sossen,,  a.d. 
1324). 

It  may  accordingly  be  concluded 
that  there  is  a  prolepsia  of  three 
years  in  the  textual  date.

roads  and  on  the  paths  and  on  the  gaps  of  danger  of  the 
fortress.     And  he  came  through  those  in  the  night,  owing 
to  the  darkness,  [with]  two  or  three  horsemen.     And  an 
attack  was  made  on  him  on  the  causeway  of  the  fortress 
and  he  came   [safe]  from  them  by  virtue  of  his  strong 
hand  and  he  injured  Cathal,  son  of  Aedh  the  Brefnian. 
And"  news  thereof  reached  not  Mac  Diarmata,  until  he 
heard  the  frays  and  the  execration  a-doing  throughout 
the  fortress.     Thus  was  it  with  them  till  the  morrow.    And 
on  Mac  Diarmata   receiving  tale  thereof,  he  sent  trusty 
persons  to  him  to  put  him  into  the  Eock.     And  he  was 
the  greater  part  of  a  week  therein.     And  the  noble  persons 
of  the  country  used  to  go  secretly  every  day  to  him.     And 
if  it  had  been  done  for  Mac  Diarmata,  peace  would  have 
been  made  with  him.     And,  as  it  was  not  made,  he  [Mac 
Diarmata]  escorted  him  to  the  castle  of  Eos-Comain  and 
left  him  there. — Simon,  son  of  Concobur,  son  of  Simon 
Mac  Gille-Arraith,  a  chief  of  the  chiefs  of  Luighni,  died. 
--Aedh,  son  of  Aedh  [TJa  Conchobair]  the  Brefnian,  took

on  the  death  (1333)  of  Stephen 
(Segrave),  the  Chapter  unani- 
mously chose  David,  canon  and 
priest  of  Armagh.  The  elect  and 
capitular  proctors  proceeded  to 
the  Curia  to  obtain  confirmation  of 
the  postulation.  After  examina- 
tion and  approval  by  three  deputed 
ad  hoc,  David  was  appointed  to  the 
See.  On  July  26,  having  received 
consecration  in  the  meantime,  he 
was  empowered  to  proceed  to  his 
church.     (Theiner,  p.  263.) 


The  Nuncio  in  England,  Peleg- 
rini,  having  fulminated  censures 
against  the  archbishop  to  recover 
700  marks,  fourteen  arrears  of  fifty 
marks  payable  by  the  primate  at 
his  triennial  visitation  to  the  Apos- 
tolic See,  Clement  VI.,  on  the 
petition  of  David,  who  pleaded  in- 
ability to  pay,  directed  (Avignon, 
August  3, 1344)  security  to  be  taken 
for  the  amount,  the  process  to  be 
discontinued  and  absolution  im- 
parted.    (Theiner,  p.  281-2.)

1296,  to  supplement  the  Five  Books 
(whence  the  title)  promulgated  by 
Gregory  IX.  in  1234.  The  work

Ua  Leanna[i]n,  abbot  of  Lis-gabhail,  died  on  the  .  .  Ides 
[13th]  of  April. 

(John  Andreae/  most  excellent  doctor,  who  explained  (1348) 
the  peculiar  Eules  of  the  Sixth,^  the  Laws  of  the  Clemen- 
i\ine\?  and  composed  the  Novellae,^  ^q Praises  of  \St^

died  this  year,^  on  the  seventh  day  of  the  month  of  July, 
of  the  very  dire  pestilence,  and  was  buried  in  the  church 
of  St.  Dominic  in  the  city  of  Bologna).

Bologna  and  Salamanca. 

*NoveUae. — Most  of  the  sum- 
maries and  glosses  of  the  Sixth  were 
■written  by  Andreae.  (His  well 
known  Tree  of  Consanguinity  is 
inserted  at  the  end  of  the  Fourth 
Book.  Two  of  the  laudatory  lines 
at  foot  run  :

honorea ; 
Arboreos  f ructus  quo  mediante

These  he  styled  Novellae,  in  honour 
of  his  daughter,  Novella,  who  some- 
times,   it    is  '  said,    supplied    her 
father's  place  in  the  lecture  chair. 


'  Praises  of  St.  Jerome. — One  of 
the  works  of  Andreae.  In  the  pro-

-  Utt  FinacUa.  —  Shortly  before 
the  demise  of  Clement  VI.  (Dec. 
1352),  a  report  reached  Avignon 
that  Hodalph,  bishop  of  Down, 
was  dead.  That  pope  not  having 
acted  upon  it,  his  successor,  Inno- 
cent VI.,  nominated  (Jan.  29, 1363) 
Gregory,  priest  and  provost  of 
Killala,  and  had  him  consecrated  at 
the  Curia.  (Theiner,  p.  302-3.) 
Though    the    rumour  proved  un- 


founded, Eodulph  died  soon  after. 
The  Chapter  elected  Eichard,  prior 
of  the  Benedictine  House  of  Down, 
and  he  was  confirmed  by  Innocent, 
Dec.  i,  1353  (ib.  p.  305).  Having 
received  consecration,  he  was  di- 
rected (Deo.  23)  to  proceed  to  the 
church  (ib.  p.  305-6).  Though  the 
collation  had  been  reserved  to  the 
Pontiff,  to  impose  a  selection  made 
before  the  vacancy  arose  would  have

Fifth  of  TJlster,  so  that  he  forced  him  ^  to  abandon  the 
daughter  of  TJa  Eaighillaigh  and  gave  his  own  daughter 
to  him.  Shortly  after  that,  he  [Brian]  i"  brought  him  to 
himself  into  his  own  house  to  drink  wine.  And  when 
that  person  expected  to  obtain  the  wine,  the  bidding  he 
got  was  that  Brian  himself  wound  ^^  his  two  hands  about 
him  and  he  was  seized  rudely,  contumeliously  and  carried 
out — and  the  few  of  his  people  [that  were]  in  his  company — 
so  that  his  feet  and  hands  were  made  fast  and  tied  together 
and  he  was  put  into  a  lake.  And  tidings  of  him  are  not

For  it  is  wine  'neath  which  he  was  submerged. 
Not  an  evil  without  retribution   [even]  for  a  very  short

the  young  snns  of  kings  of  the  Clann-Muircertaigh  and 
Cathal  Mag  [F]lannchadha,  chief  of  Dartraighi,  was  slain 
therein. 

Muster  was  made  by  Domnall  Ua  Neill  and  by  the 
Clann-Domnaill,  namely,  by  Toirdhelbach  Mac  Domnaill 
and  by  Alexander  Mac  Domnaill  to  attack  Niall  Ua  Neill. 
And  Mac  Cathmail  was  put  from  out  the  country  by  them 
and  that  chief  went  to  join  Niall  Ua  Neill.  The  rear  of 
the  migrating  forces  was  overtaken.^  And  '  Ragnall,  son 
of  Alexander,  that  is,  the  heir  of  the  Clann-Alexaudair, 
came  from  Innsi-Gall  about  that  lime  to  Niall  Ua  Neill. 
The  kerns  of  the  two  parties  met  with  one  another,  that  is, 
the  [whole]  sept  of  the  Clann-Domnaill.  And  Raghrall 
sent  messengers  to  where  his  own  kinsman,  namely,  Toir- 
delbach  and  his  son,  to  wit,  Alexander,  were,  and  he 
asked  in  honour  of  the  seniority  and  of  the  brotherhood 
not  to  come  against  him.  And  no  attention  was  paid  to 
him  and  respite  was  not  given  to  him,  but  they  advanced 
up  to  the  ford  whereon  they  saw  Raghnall  and  they  gave 


forces  of  Domnall  O'Neill.  But 
this  is  at  variance  with  the  tenor  of 
the  more  detailed  narrative  of  the 
Ulster  Annals. 

'  And,  etc.— The  episode  relative 


to  the  coming  of  the  Mac  Donnells 
is  introduced  to  explain  their  junc- 
tion with  MaoCawell  on  the  present 
occasion.

Domnaill  was  taken  prisoner  at  the  same  ford.  And  ^  it 
was  the  wish  of  the  people  of  Eaghnall  to  kill  him  :  but 
Raghnall  did  not  allow  them ;  for  he  said  that  the  loss  of 
his  son  and  kinsman  should  not  be  upon  him.  And  Mac 
Cathmail  with  his  horse-host  was  pressing  upon®  the  horse- 
host  of  Domnall  Ua  Neill  and  O'lfeill  himself  overtook 
them  .  .  and  Domnall  took  the  rear  of  his  own  horse-host 
and  brought  them  [safe]  with  him.  And  many  i"  of  his 
people  were  wounded  and  killed. — Great  war  [arose]  be- 
tween the  Foreigners  of  Connacht  and  the  Clann-Maurice 
were  expelled  by  MacWilliam  and  they  went  to  the  Clann- 
Ricaird  and  a  great  hosting  was  made  by  Mac  William 
and  by  Aedh,  son  of  Feidhlimidh,  king  of  Connacht  and 
by  the  son  of  Maghnus  Ua  Conchobuir  and  by  William 
O'Cellaigh,  king  of  Ui-Maine,  into  the  upper  part  of 
Connacht  against  the  Clann-Ricaird.  And  many  of  the 
Momonians  rose  out  with  the  Clann-Ricaird  and  they 
were  the  greater  part  of  a  quarte?"  [of  a  year]  in  leaguer 
against  one  another  and  sway  was  got  by  Mac  William  at 
the  end.  The  pledges  of  the  Clann-Ricaird  were  brought 
by  him  with  him  and  himself  came  with  spirit  and  force 
from  that  expedition. — Muircertach,  son  of  Raghnall,  son 
of  Raghnall  Mor  Mag  Raghnaill,  material  of  an  arch- 
chief  without  defect,  was  killed  in  treachery  by  the  chief 
of  Muinter-hEolu[i]s,  namely,  by  Mail[-Sh]echlainn  Mag 
Raghnaill,  the  first  Monday  ^^  after  November-Day.  And 
the  chief  by  whom  was  done  the  killing,  he  died  himself 
at  the  end  of  two  months  after  that. — Huigin  Tyrrell, 
namely,  chief  of  Fir-Tulach,  was  slain  (that  year)  by  the 
Clann-Feorais  [Birmingham]  and  it  was  without  dispute 
a  great  Foreign  deed.

mis- apprehension  of    the    F.    M., 


who,  tajsing  them  to  refer  to 
different  persons,  copied  this  and 
another  obit  which  gives  only  the 
name  and  offices,  we  learn  that  the 
ecclesiastic  in  question  was  called 
Murray  Q'Farrelly  (Muiredhach  Ua

was  hereditary  in  the  family. 
From  the  present  entry  it  may  be 
concluded  that  the  foundation  of

mait  Mag  Raghnaill,  namely,  the  chief  of  Muinter- 
Eolu[i]s,  an  excellent  woman  without  dispute,  died  a 
death  of  Unction  and  penance  and  was  buried  honourably

[appointed  by  the  same  pope,  on 
the  translation  of  Gregory  to 
Tuam  in  1372]  was  the  confirma- 
tion of  elections  to  dignities 
(Theiner,  p.  363). 

In  the  account  returned  by  John 
de  Cabrespino,  papal  Nuncio  in 
England  and  Ireland,  of  benefices 
granted  in  the  third  year  of  Urban 
V.  (1362-70),  it  is  stated  that  the 
canonical  election  and  subsequent 
confirmation  by  bishop  Charles  of 
canon  Thomas  Ma[c]murgoaea  [the 
Mao  Muirghisa  of  the  text]  was 
ratified  by  the  Curia  on  Feb.  5  and 


confirmed  (by  the  pope)  on  Feb. 
14,  1365  {ih.  p.  340). 

The  most  probable  explanation 
is  that  Gregory  remained  in  the 
papal  Court  until  his  elevation 
to  Tuam  and  tacitly  acquiesced  in 
the  administration  of  the  diocese 
by  the  bishop  in  possession. 

From  the  fact  of  Mac  Morrissey 
dying  in  Eome  it  may  be  inferred 
that  he  proceeded  thither  in  con- 
nection with  the  charges  mentioned 
in  the  Rescript. 

[1378]  i/j/j— The  ferial  (6) 
proves  that  the  true  year  is  1378.
