that he was in the service of
O'Conor.
2 Was slain. — In the more de-
tailed account given in the F. M. ,
Mac Donongh is said to have taken
charge of the rear of the retreating
foray party. In this, the post of
danger, he bore the brunt of the
attack, until O'Conor the Red came
np and ordered him to be taken
alive. Mac Donongh, however,
disdained to yield and fell fighting.
The chief men of his side were made
prisoners ; the rank and file, pur-
sued as far as the north of Tirer-

were burned by him. And Domnall junior, son of Mac
Domnaill,1 was killed on that expedition.— The sons of
Ua Cuirnin, namely, Sigraidh and Cairpri and Gilla-
Padraig, sods of Adam [Ua Cuirnin], were killed by the
Foreigners of the County of Ossory. Great loss to learning
[was] that death of Sigraidh. — Treacherous forays were
made by Ua Concobuir the Eed and by Mac Diarmata on
Ua Concobair the Brown. Mac Donnchaidh of Tir-Oilella
went for that reason, [with] a large host, to meet Ua Conco-
buir the Brown to Magh-Luirg and Magh-Luirg was
burned, both houses and corn, by them on that expedition.
Cormac Mac Donnchaidh was slain 2 by Mac Diarmata and
by the sons of [Aedh] son of Feidhlimidh Ua Conchobuir :
namely, the one son of a king who was best of hospitality
and prowess that was in his time. — Muircertach the Lame,
son of Domnall, son of Muircertach Ua Concobuir, went
into the stronghold of Mac Donnchaidh to attack the
stronghold of Ua Domnaill at the Monastery of Es-ruadh.
Many persons were slain by them, including the sons of
Ua Baighill with their kinsmen. Mac Suibne and his
son were taken prisoners there on that expedition.

Mael[-Sh]echlainn Ua Lochlainn the Crooked, king of
Corcumruadh, was killed by his own brother in treachery
on the Sunday4 before the feast of [St.] Michael. — Gilla-

has no mention of this notable
transaction.

certaigh TJa Concobuir followed him and he was killed 2
by them in leaving the Loch. — TJa Ruairc 3 pursued the
clan of Muircertach into Tellach-Dunchadha and they 4

that the Clan of Murtough O'Conor
the Jtomoniau attempted (1370,

to the Monastery of the Buill and what food he found
therein he put on the Rock of Loch-Ce. The track of the

Great defeat was inflicted this year by the Foreigners in
Callaidh on Walter de Burgh, namely, the grandson of
the Earl of Ulster2 and on Tadhg Ua Cerbhaill: a
place where was slain Tadhg himself, to wit, the best
general protector that was in Ireland in his own time.
And "Walter was taken prisoner in that defeat. — Defeat
was inflicted by Ua Conchobuir the Red and by Tadhg Ua
Ceallaigh and by Ruaidhri Mac Diarmata on Mac William
of Clann-Ricaird and on Cathal Ua Conchobair. Cathal
himself was taken prisoner there and persons numerous
were [either] taken prisoners or s slain there. — Aedh Mag
Uidhir (namely, son of Philip of the [battle-]axe)(
that is, tanist of Fir-Manach, was taken prisoner in
treachery in the town of Cathal Ua Ruairc the Deaf and
the son of Maghnus Mag Uidhir, namely, Conchobur, and
many other good people were taken with him there.
And by the Men of Tir-Conaill,4 on the suggestion of the
Brefnians, that capture was effected. And therefrom
it is called the Hospitality of the Malignity5
from that [time] down.

1408. Cathal Ua Conchobuir, namely, one who was to be
king of Ui-Failghi, was slain x by the Olann-Fheorais.2
the A. L. C, was 1406-7. The
reasons assigned for the double
notation, are, as was to be expected
(Of. Todd Lectures, III. 378 sq.),
without foundation. The obser-
vation, however, affords a probable
clue to the partial misdating of the
A. L. C. from 1399 to 1406. The
events in question may have taken
place between Jan. 1 and March
25. They would thus be dated a
year in advance in Chronicles in
which the A.D. began on Lady Day.

castle of Ros-Comain and they put a store into it in despite
of what was against them. And they made an encamp-
ment around the Small Castle,11 but could not do anything

the feast of [St.] Martin [Nov. 11] of this year.— A great [uu>]
host [was led] this year by [the] Ua Cellaigh of [Ui-] Maine
and by "William Ua Ceallaigh and by Mac William 6 de
Burgh and by Cathal Ua Conchobuir the Black and by
Mac Diarmata of Magh-Luirg, namely, Tomaltach. And
they took their bands of gallowglasses with them, namely,
Mac Dubgaill and Toirdelbach Mac Domnaill and they
went on that expedition into Clann-Ricaird 7 to destroy it
and to expel Mac "William from out Clann-Ricaird. Mac
"William of Clann-Ricaird had another large host8 to
meet them, to wit, Tadhg,9 son of Brian and his kinsmen
and the nobles of Thomond and Domnall Mac Suibne.
Howbeit, those two hosts met each other at the mouth of
Ath-lighean in the upper [southern] part of Clann-Ricaird
and gave battle to each other then. And10 then were slain
Mac Dubgaill and his two sons and all their gallowglasses.
Toirdelbach Mac Domnaill and his son went safe from that
battle j but11 his people were all slain there. And there
were taken [the] Ua Ceallaigh, namely, Donnchadh Ua
Ceallaigh and William the Rough, son of David, lord of
Clann-Connmaigh. And "William Ua Ceallaigh escaped
by himself from that defeat and many of the nobles of
Ui-Maine were [either] killed or11 captured in the rout.
And it is not possible to determine or count the extent of
that defeat, or the extent of the chattel that fell to12 the
Clann-Ricaird and to the Momonians, of horses and of
apparel and of valuable hostages and so forth. — Aedh the
Tawny, son of Tigernan Ua Ruairc, died this year, in the
beginning l3 of his felicity, in his own stronghold. Tadhg,
son of Tigernan Ua Ruairc, was made king in his stead

Brian,1 sou of Domnall Ua Conchobair. The host of the
Province2 came at the time to prevent the work. Brian
mustered another host against those, under his kinsmen
and'under Mac Donnchaidh and under Ua Ruairc, namely,
Tadhg. And the Ultonian host did not attempt to go
across the Ursgathach westward to them on that occasion.
The men of Tir-Conaill3 were, a numerous force, by the
port of Eas-ruadh at that time. The sons of Ua Domnaill,
namely, Niall and Domnall and Nectain, came [with] a
horse-host on the Plain.4 The sons of Brian Ua Concho-
buir went [with] a large reconnoitring horse-host at that
time to Bel-atha-senaigh and a great encounter arose
between them. The Men of Tir-Conaill3 overtook them
then and an assault was made on the Carbrians, wherein
were slain John, son of Brian Ua Concobuir and Aedh
Mac Donnchaidh the Tawny, and Cathal, son of Diarmait,
son of Cormac, son of Buaidhri and Eogan Ua Dubhda.
Brian Ua Conchobuir and the Carbrians went on Magh-
eine at that time in consequence of those tidings. Eogan
Ua Concobuir and Toirdelbach Carrach went at the end
of five nights6 afterwards to Es-ruadh. The sons of Ua
Domnaill were on the over side of the Cataract,6 in Port-
n-long,7 and they had drunk wine. And tale of that was
got by Eogan and they were attacked by his forces, and
Domnall Ua Domnaill, namely, one who was to be king
of Tir-Conaill, was slain by them along with other persons
that are not mentioned here. And Niall Ua Domnaill
escaped from them in a Saxon ship that was in the harbour
at that time. And Eogan returned [in triumph] on that
occasion to the same Drobhais, and so forth. — Tadhg, son

of Fergal Ua Eaghra, joint-king of Luighni, died. — The
sons of John Ua Eaghra came on a hosting with their
friends to attack the sons of the Eastern Da Eaghra.
Eogan, son of Domnall Ua Concohuir, was the patron and
protector of the sons of Tadhg Ua Eaghra. Numerous
forays and slayings of persons were committed by the sons
of John8 that time. Eogan overtook them then, and the
preys were asked from them by him in virtue of amity
and to preserve his hospitality. And he got [them] not
and, as he did not get [them], he thought of his own
nobility and went in pursuit of the prey. The sons of
John and the Clan-Maurice were defeated by Eogan
and by the son of Mac Donnchaidh and by the sons of
Tadhg Ua Eaghra. And Mac Maurice was captured there
and Edmond Mac Maurice and John son of Richard
Mac Maurice and William, son of John Ua Eaghra
junior, and Tadhg Ua Eagra and many others that
are not reckoned here were slain. And the preys
were taken from them then through the good fortune of
Eogan. — William,9 son of Mail[-Sh]echlainn Ua Ceallaigh,
namely, one who was to be arch- king of Ui-Maine, and
the one son of a sub-king who was the most powerful and
famous and the best man of battle and who had most part
in night [attack] that was in Ireland in his own time, died
in his own stronghold after victory of penance. — Co-libera-

was in custody with Mac William for a long space of time

A conference was held by Ua Neill, namely, by Eogan,
at Narrow- Water with the sons of Domnall, son of Muir-
certach Ua Conchobuir. TJa Domnaill placed his people
to guard the Narrow, lest 1 the conferring parties should
meet each other. TJa Neill and Mag Uidhir [neverthe-
less] went to the Narrow. The people of TJa Domnaill
met them, and a discharge of arrows took place between
them. The Fir-Manach [however] landed despite them :2
[but] the rout of Mibolg was put upon them, and many
persons of them were wounded and slain. [Still] the sons
of Domnall went that day to where TJa Neill was and
placed3 their hands in his hand, and so on. — Domnall TJa
Neill, namely, son of Eogan, son of Niall TJa Neill junior,
died of glandular disease at the end of a fortnight after the
feast of [St.] Patrick this year : to wit, one fit to be king
of Ulster for hospitality and for prowess [was] he. — Eogan,
son of Mag Carthaigh the Grey, went on a raid against
Kin sale. Eogan was slain by the folk of Kinsale with
one cast of a javelin, and so on. — Great war [arose] this
year between Ua Neill and Ua Domnaill. The son of
Ua Neill, namely, Henry, went to Sligech to meet [and
secure the aid of] the sons of Domnall, son of Muircer-
tach Ua Concobuir. Ua Domnaill and Ua Ruaire and the
sons of Aedh Mag Uidhir were on the watch before them
for the space of the five weeks that Henry was in the West.
Henry and the Carbrians33, went upon Magh-eine. Mag
Uidhir, namely, Thomas junior, went [with] a fleet to
Narrow- Water to meet Henry and the Carbrians, and
they came safe to his house on that occasion. — A great
hosting was made by [the] Ua Neill and by Mag Uidhir
and by Mac-Ui-Neill-buidhe into Cenel-Moen to face 0 a
Domnaill. Slaughters4 numerous and burnings extensive
were done by them upon Tir-Conaill and the town of Ua

Domnaill and the town of Nechtain4a were burned by them,
and many corn-fields were burned by them. And they
were from the feast of [Holy] Cross5 to Lammas on that
expedition, and went to their house[s] without making
peace, and so on. — Mag Mathgamna, namely, Brian, son
of Ardghal, went against Ua JSTeill and against his own
kinsmen, that is, Rughraidhe and Maghnus. Mag Math-
gamna went with his raiding-party to the Foreign settle-
ment. The host of the Foreigners mustered and went
with Mag Mathgamna into Oirgialla. And Dairtraighi of
Con-inis was burned by them, and they went on that expe-
dition to the Plain of Ard-Macha, and the valuables of
Ard-Macha were taken from out the temples by them and
burned on the green of the town. Large offerings were
extorted from the elders of the town by them for the sake
of its not being burned. The Foreigners and Mag Math-
gamna went to their houses [in triumph] on that occa-
sion.— The bishop of Clochar died this year, namely, Art
Mac Cathmail,6 on the day of [St.] Lawrence precisely
[Aug. 14] : to wit, a man of hospitality and piety, and who
kept a guest-house for poor and for [bardic] bands, and
for pilgrims. And he departed with victory from world
and from demon, and so on. — Mael [-Sh]echlain Mac Con-
mara the Ui-Mainian,7 namely, chief of Clann-Cuilein,
died. — Tadhg Mac Mathgamna, namely, one destined to
be king of Corco-baiscinn, died. — Maelmordha Ua Eaig-
hilligh junior died. — A host of Foreigners came into
Eili-Ui-Cerbaill and the castle of Baile-an-britaigh and
the castle of Cluain-TJi-Cinaith were burned and broken
by them on that expedition and so on. — A great marvel
took place in Fir-manach this year : to wit, a goat gave

Plain,1 namely, Concobur and the sons of Mael[-Sh]ech-
lainn Mag Raghnaill this year. The sons of Mael-
Sechlainn brought the sons of Mathgamain Mac Caba
to [aid] them for stipend and they [all] went on the
offensive into the Plain and the town of Cathal Mag
Raghnaill was burned by them. A large pursuing party
overtook them in leaving it. The sons of Mathgamain
and their gallowglasses remained in the rear of the[ir]
force. The large pursuing party overtook them without
the knowledge of th.e[ir] force. Three of the sons of
Mathgamain2 were slain that day and one man, namely,
Eogan, their elder brother, was taken prisoner when he
was half dead. Rossa and Donchadh and Brian were [the
brothers] slain, with multitudes of their people along with

of father and mother — namely, Una, daughter of John
TJaBaighilligh,[was] their mother— and for the excellence
of their vigour and their ^hospitality and their prowess
and their loyalty unto that day. The fifth son of them
escaped safe that day, namely, Toirdelbach the Freckled
and so on. — Great war [arose] between Ua Neill and
Ua Domnaill, that is, Niall the Rough, son of Toirdelbach.
Ua Neill and Eogan 3 went [with] a large host in pursuit
of Ua Domnaill and Mac Uibilin into the Dubh-trian.
Mac Domnaill of Scotland came [with] a numerous fleet
to Ireland into the muster of Ua Neill to aid him. Ua
Domnaill and Mac Uibilin and Robert Savage were
pursued by them into the Dubh-trian and their cattle
were all wrested from them and killed by the Scotch.
Very great slaughter and loss of men were inflicted by
them on Mac Uibilin, so that only a few of his people
escaped with him from the Dubh-trian : the amount that
escaped, they fell at the river-pass of the New Castle.
Ua Neill and Henry, namely, the son of Ua Neill and
Mac Domnaill of Scotland went with their hosts to Ard-
glas and it was burned by them on that expedition.
Mac Domnaill and his host went in their ships from
Ard-glas to Inis-Eogain and Ua Neill [went] by land to
aid him, to harry Tir-Conaill. Nechtain Ua Domnaill and
the daughter of Ua Concobuir Faly, that is, the wife of
Ua Domnaill and the [Tir-]Oonallian sons of [sub-]kings
also went into conference with them at Inis-Eogain and
peace was made between them without permission from
Ua Domnaill. [For] Ua Domnaill and Mac Uibhilin went
to the Foreign settlement of Meath and made a pact with
them against Ua Neill. And the deputy i of the king
took a large host with them to the Plain of Ard-Macha
and they went against the Monastery of Poor Friars 5 in
Ard-Macha. [But] they returned to their houses on that
T?ho were introduced into Armagh city in \1Qi, supra.

gathered to receue gifts the matter
of two thousand and seauen hun-

in a. roll to that purpose. And
that account was made thus, ut
vidimus (viz.) : the cheiftaine of
each famelie of the learned Irish
was by G-illa - na - naomh Mac
Aegan's hand written in that roll
— the chiefe judg to O'Conner

number of 2,700 was listed in that
roll with the arts of dan, or poetry,
musick and antiquitie. And Mae-
lyn O'Maelconry, one of the chiefe
learned of Connaght, was the first
writen in that roll and first payed
and dieted, or set to sup[p]er, and
those of his name after him. And
so forth, every one, as he was
payed, he was writen in that roll,
for feare of mistake, and sett
downe to eate afterwards.

occasion without obtaining sway. Mac Uibilin was billeted
by the Foreigners of the Plain of Oirgialla after his
expulsion by Ua Neill. Ua Domnaill went around Meath
westwards to Ath-luain and went thence into Ui-Maine.
A night march was made by him across the Plain 6, to
meet Mac Diarmata of Magh-Luirg and thence to meet
Ua Euairc. Ua Euairc escorted him oyer beyond the
Erne. Ua Neill and Mag Uidhir went to Narrow- Water
to meet Ua Domnaill and peace was made with him. —
Two general invitations7 were given this year by Margaret,
daughter of Ua Cerbaill, namely, wife of the Calbach
Ua Concobuir, king of Offaly, to the [bardic] bands
of Ireland and to [their] retinues and so forth. — Mac
Maghnusa Mag Uidhir, namely, Cathal Mor8 Mac Magh-
nusa (son of the Tawny Gr i 1 1 i e9), died this year, the
day of the feast of [St.] Michael [Sep. 29] precisely : to
wit, a man who kept a general guest-house for [bardic]
bands and for pilgrims and for [bardic] retinues of Ireland
and Scotland, so that the fame of that Cathal filled
Ireland and Scotlan d. And his son, namely, Gatha
junior, was chosen in his place by Ua Neill and by Mag

friends about her, her clergy
and judges too, Calwagh [her
husband] himself e being on horse-
back by the church's outward side,
to the end that all things might be
done orderly and each one serued
successively. And, first of all, she
gave two chalices of gold as offer-
ings that day on the altar of God
Almighty and she also caused to
nurse, or foster, two young or-
phans. . .

this year and encampment was taken by him on Craebh-
Ui-Fhuadachain and he was three nights there.1 The
Fir-Manach sent their moveables over Lough [Erne] west-
wards And they had no vessels, but the solid ice on
the Lough [to carry them]. And all their cows and
their pack-horses went upon the Lough westwards.
Mag Uidhir mustered a large host against Ua Neill,
but peace was made between them at the end and
Mag Uidhir went to meet Ua Neill. Ua Neill went from
that into Tir-Conaill, to harry it. Great burnings were
done by them on that expedition and Jchn, son of Domnall
Ua Domnaill, was slain by them with one shot of an
arrow. Ua Neill went to his house [in triumph] on that
occasion. — Domnall, son of Eogan Mag Carthaigh, namely,
the best general protector that was in Ireland in his time,
fell by Tadhg, son of Cormac, son of Diarmait Mag
Carthaigh. — The Countess of Desmond died this year :
namely, the daughter of Mac William de Burgh, that is,
the wife of Earl James.2 — Donn, son of Cu-Connacht
Mag Uidhir, died this year after victory of penance : to
wit, a man of hospitality and prowess. And he had
gone into the Order of Canons of Cluain-eois, after laying
aside the world for love of the Lord, and so on. — Alliance
of war was made by Brian Ua Neill junior and by Nechtain
Ua Domnaill against Ua Neill (namely, Eogan) and his
sons. Ua Neill, with his sons (namely, Henry and
Aedh) leading the foraying-band, went into Cenel-Moen
to encounter Brian and Nechtain. The camp of Ua Ntill
was formed in the Rasa that time. When Nechtain and
Brian junior heard that, they assembled their host into

one place to deliver a camp assault upon Ua Neill and [U351
went forward, until they reached the Rasa. Ua Neill
was put out from his camp, in his despite, by them
that night and the camp was occupied by themselves that3
night in the Easa. Ua Neill and his sons and Mac
Domnall the Gallowglass proceeded to deliberate what
they should do that night. This is the counsel they
adopted : 4 namely, to deliver a camp assault upon the
[hostile] host. Henry Ua Neill made good discourse to
Mac Domnaill and to his own kinsmen and to his followers :
namely, that they should have good courage against their
enemies. Not blackening of night and not blanching of
visage did the nobles act at that incentive and they marched
forward afterwards quietly, silently, until they reached
the camp. Howbeit, Henry Ua Neill went in front of
them courageously, victoriously and powerfully, full
splendidly, until they reached the very centre of their
enemies. But Mac Domnaill the Grallowglass and Mac
Suibne of Fanad fell in with each other then. And heroes
were hacking at one another5 on every side. Moreover, the
friends and the enemies recognised not each other in that
contest, through darkness of the night and through thick-
ness of the heroic force. Howbeit, balls of fire leaped
from the helmets of the champions and from the breast-
plates of the heroes. Now, Aedh Ua Neill and Brian Ua
Neill junior chanced to meet each other in that fray.
Aedh gave a stroke of a javelin to Brian, so that he
seriously injured him. Brian and Nechtain escaped that
night and their gallowglasses were left [behind] by them
after that party. Still, knowledge of their defection was

abandoned himself, this is the counsel he adopted : i
[himself] to cover the rear6 and to escape without the
knowledge of Ua Neill. Henry and his kinsmen got
knowledge of that and Mac Suibne was pursued by them
and the defeat of Sliab-truim was inflicted on them.
Mac Suibne himself was taken prisoner there, with a
multitude of his people. Ua Neill on that occasion [went
home] triumphantly, and so on.

abandoned to TTa Neill and to his sons and the force that
were in it fled and left many of their people [slain.] And
Mac Suibne was taken prisoner, with many others with
him, on the morrow. And Ua Neill went triumphantly)
battle-victoriously to his house on that occasion.)
Nechtain Ua Domnaill gave the castle of Ath-senaigh

Ua Weill and Henry Ua Weill surrounded the Lough and
intelligence was sent from them to apprise Mag Uidhir,
namely, Thomas Mag Uidhir junior, that is, the king of Fir-
Manach. And they were making cots to take the Crannog
from the sons of Brian junior. But this is the counsel
the sons of Brian adopted : 2 to give up the Crannog to
Ua Weill and to make peace. Ua Weill and Mag Uidhir
[then] went to attack to Tir-Aedha. Great forays and
numerous devastations and slaughters3 of people were
done by them on that occasion. John Mac Gille-Martain,
namely, door-keeper of Mag Uidhir, was slain on that
occasion by the pursuing party (that is, the sons of
Tuimilin Ua Gallcobair). Ua Neill and Henry Ua Weill
and Mag Uidhir went to their house[s] [in triumph] on

Thomas junior, king of Fir-Manach and with Philip, that

year. — Borgaill, daughter of Mac Duarca[i]n, died on the [1447]
16th of the Kalends of November [Oct. 17]. — Mac Caba
the Brefnian died this year : namely, Cormac, son of Grilla-
Crist, Mac Caba, and Henry Mac Caba, his brother,
was chosen by the Sil-Raighilligh and by the Clann-
Caba also as Constable in Breifni, and so on. — The
Superior of Fidhnach died this year : namely, a man
who kept4 a general guest-bouse. — This year a French
roof was put by Thomas Mag Uidhir junior, namely,
king of Fir-Manach, on the church of Achadh-
urchaire in honour of God and [SS.] Tighernach and
Bonan.5 And it was he that built the eastern gable of
the church for [the good of] his own soul, and so on. —
Feidhlim[idh], son of John, son of Philip Ua Baighilligh,
namely, one fit to be king of Breifni for hospitality and
for prowess, was captured treacherously in the town of
Ath-truim6 by Furnival,7 that is, the Deputy of the king
of the Saxons in Ireland, after going there at his [Furni-
val's] own instance. And a great plague came at that
time in the town of Ath-truim and Feidhlim[idh] died
thereof, after victory of Unction and penance : to wit,
three weeks before November Day and he was buried in the
monastery of the Friars in Ath-truim, and so on. And
a son of maledictions for malice and a devil for evils [was]
that Furnival and what the learned of Ireland say of him
is that there came not from Herod, by whom was crucified
Christ, downwards one so bad for ill deeds. — Eogan, son
of Pedras, son of Saerdalach Ua Breislen, namely, chief
brehon of Fir-Manach and arch-herenagh of Airech-
Maelain, died this year.

Two kings were made in the Breifni against each other
this year : to wit, [1] Ferghal, son of Thomas Mor Ua

the O'Reillys being amongst the
slain.

of poetic and of erudite composition.4 And a month before
Lamas he left his own residence to go on that pilgrimage.
And, a week after his departure, came Donchadh Mag
TJidhir of Tellach-Dunchadha,5 namely, son of Mag TJid-
hir's father,6 to attack Cathal Mag TJidhir, that is, the
son of Mag TJidhir (to wit, [son] of Thomas junior [was]
that Cathal). And he captured him in his own house at
Cnoc-Ninte7 and took him and his spoil with him from
the Hill 8 to Grort-an-feadain 9 and killed him then in
fratricide. And himself went into Tellach-Dunchadha
and was warring upon Edmond Mag TJidhir and upon
Donchadh Mag TJidhir. And Edmond and Donchadh
went to a place of meeting with Donchadh of Tellach-
Dunchadha and peace was made by them with each other.
And Edmond made Donchadh of Tellach-Dunchadha
prisoner in Grabail-liuin and took him with him to Achadh-
urchaire and deprived him of a foot and hand in punish-
ment of his own wicked proceeding, namely, the killing
of Cathal Mag TJidhir. Now, that retribution which
Edmond wrought in satisfaction of that fratricide which
Donchadh of Tellach-Dunchadha wrought was lauded

brur ; the A. L. C, dubrail: re-
spectively translated darkness by
O'Donovan (iv. 997) and Hennessy
(ii. 161). Both editors consequently
take night literally, making it de-
pend on darkness; the genitive
(feile) signifying on (the festival) !

leaves no room to doubt that
Dubhrun was the name of a place

Docliartaigli, that is, the party guarding Doornail, proved t1454l
false to Ua Dochartaigh : namely, made himself prisoner
and liberated Dorunall. When Ua Domnaill, that is,
ftughraidhe, learned that Domnall was captured by Ua
Dochartaigh, he mustered a host to him and went and
surrounded1 the castle of Inis.2 And the other Ua
Domnaill, namely, Domnall, was safe therein and Ua
Dochartaigh in custody therein with his own people and
with Domnall. Hughraidhe and Mac Uibilin were attack-
ing the castle against Domnall. Now, Domnall went 3 on
the top of the castle and cast a stone forth therefrom (on
the Nones [7th] of April) on Ua Domnaill (namely,
Rughraidhe) and killed him with that cast. And he came
forth himself afterwards with victory of overthrow and
pursued the [besieging] host and wrested great spoil from
them. And himself took Tir-Conaill in its entirety from
that out and so on. — Domnall, son of John Ua Raigbilligh
(namely, Domnall Ua Raghilligh the Fair), died this year.
— Lasairfina, daughter of Mac Maghnusa, namely,
daughter of Cathal junior, son of Cathal Mor, wife of Ua

1456. A great tale in Ireland this year : to wit, Ua Neill
died ; that is, Eogan,1 son of Niall junior, son of Niall
Mor, namely, father of Henry (that is, [the] Ua Neill).
(A)
Great war arose between
Ua Neill and the king of Tir-
ConaiH, namely, Domnall,
son of Niall Ua Domnaill.
O'Neill,2 namely, Henry and
Mag Uidhir went [with] a
large host into Inis-Eogain
and a fortified position was
taken by them a short dis-
tance from Ouil-mie-an-trein.3
Ua Domnaill and Aedh Ua
Domnaill the Red, namely, brother of Ua Domnaill and
Mac Suibne of Fanad went on three horses from their
own host to bring [back] tidings of Ua Neill with
them and came od the green of Cuil-mic-an-trein. The
sons of Ua Neill, namely, Toirdelbach the Red, and
Ruaidhri, had gone that time a short distance from the
castle. And they saw the three horsemen and pursued
Ua Domnaill was slain this
year, namely, Domnall, son of
Niall Ua Domnaill (the Eough)
and his brother, namely, Aedh
the Eed, was captured and
Mac Suibhne was captured
likewise. And by Ua Neill
(namely, Henry) was that
done and in Cell -Bai thin
moreover it was done and so
on.

The castle was wrested from
O'Dogherty (of Inishowen) by
O'Donnell in 1440 (F. M.). To
retake it was O'Neill's object on
the present occasion.

was annexed thereto. (Theiner, p.

that, as they would hardly consent
to have their residence made thus
ancillary, the Clanrickards aban-
doned the place (in favour of Dun-

1470. Philip Mag Uidhir, namely, son of Thomas, son
of Philip, son of Aedh the Red, died this year : to wit,
the son of a sub-king who was the best in charity and
humanity and was the best man of battle that was in his
time and one that was to be king of Fir-Manach without
opposition and so on. — A great hosting [was made] this
year by Ua Neill, namely, Henry, son of Eogan Ua Neilb
into Clann-Aedha-buidhe, to join Mac Uibhilin in the
Dubh-trian1. And [Conn] Mac-Ui-Neill-buidhe and the
Clann-Aedha-buidhe went on a foray on Mac TJibhilin
and Ua Neill and Mac Uibhilin overtook them and battle
was given by them to each other at close of day. And
the Clann-Aedha-buidhe were defeated2. And Aedh3
junior, son of Aedh the Tawny, was taken there and Mac
Suibne of the "Wood and Owen Mac Suibne the Red
were taken there. Art, son of Domnall Ua Neill the
Slender, was slain there and the castle of Sgathdergi was
obtained on that expedition by Ua Neill and he gave it
into possession4 of Mac Uibhilin to keep it. And Ua Neill
went to his house from that expedition with triumph of
victory and rout. — Great plague, namely, Airaing5, in Fir-
Manach this year and Ua Flannaga[i]n (that is, Cormac,
son of Gilla-Isu) of Tuath-Ratha and many others that
are not reckoned died thereof. — Great war arose this year
between Ua Neill and the sons of Art Ua Neill and the
sons of Art went, after [their] expulsion, into Trian-Congail
and Conn, son of Aedh the Tawny, took [sides]6 with them
against Ua Neill. — Great war arose between Mac Uibhilin
[1470]
* Possession. — literally, hand.

1487. Mac Aedhagain of the Anghaile1, namely, Tadhg,
son of Gilla-na-naem Mac Aedhagain, was slain by the sons
of Uaithne, son of Irial Ua Ferghail, that is, by Tadhg,
son of Uaithne and another [son].— Ruaidhri the Green
and Donn junior, two sons of Donn, son of Philip Mag

Tawny, son of Eogan Ua Neill, was taken by Niall, son
of Toirdelbach the Red, son of Henry, son of Eogan Ua
Neill, on his being found leaving the town of Ua JNeill,
namely, of Conn, son of Henry Ua JSTeill, at the end of a

the Red, namely, son of Tighernan, son of Tadhg, son of
Tighernan Ua Ruairc — to wit, the most courageous leader
that was in Lower [northern] Connacht at that time —

Ruairc, namely, son of Feidhlimidh, son of Donchadh,
son of Tighernan junior, was done that slaying. Ua
Domnaill, namely, Aedh the Red, went, because of that
slaying, against the castle3 of Ua Ruairc (namely, Feidh-

plundered this year, shortly before Christmas, by the
son of Ua Domnaill, namely, by Aedh junior, son of Aedh
the Red, son of Niall the Rough. And the prey was
carried by him to Ath-Senaigh and killed9 there straight-
way, namely, 400 cows. And the warders of the castle,
namely, the sons of Aed Ua Domnaill the Foreign, gave
the castle to Aedh, in despite of Ua Domnaill (namely,
Aedh the Red). — Ua Dalaigh of Breifne (namely, John,

Day to Christmas : to wit, Ua Neill in the Caircin10 and
Ua Domnaill in Druim-bo11, without peace, without truce,
without war being made between them, but like that. —

son of Concobur Ua Gairmleghaidh, died this year after
November Day. — The son of Mac Domnaill of Scotland
(that is, Aengus), namely, one who was called the lord
Aag, was slain in treachery by an Irish harper, namely,

Conn, son of the Calbach, was slain by some of the people [H92]
of the son of the Earl of Ormond, namely, of James13, son
of John, son of James Butler, that is, by Master Gart13.
And Master Gart himself was taken in the same place
by the Earl of Kildare in "Winter. — The sons of Don-
chadh Mag Uidhir, namely, the black Gillie,
and Philip and the son of the black Gillie,
namely, Edmond, went on an inroad on Senadh of Mac
Maghnusa and a foray was made by them there and two
inoffensive farmers were slain by them. But themselves
were taken in their pride and the Lord visited their
iniquity. And they were turned to flight and 14 of their
elect sunk as lead in the waters and went down like a
stone into the depth. And, because the Lord was not
with them, when men arose against them, without doubt
the water swallowed them up, as saith the Psalmist. For
the Lord sent his anger and it devoured them. And
Edmond, son of the black Gillie and two of his
people were taken there and the prey was wrested from
them. And at end of the year this was done, namely,
the Saturday14 before Christmas.
(This year was born Cathal junior [Mac Maghnusa,
namely], son of [Gilla-]Beta[i]n15, namely, of Thomas16,

son of Muircertach Ua Concobuir and under Ua Ruairc,
namely, under Feidhlimidh, son of Donchadh, son of
Tighernan Ua Ruairc junior, and under Eogan, son of
Tighernan, son of Tadhg Ua Ruairc. And he went into
Clann-Aedha-buidhe13 and into Leth-Cathail and into
Oirthir and into Ui-Eathach. And hosts hard to count
overtook him and rose against him in front of and behind14
him, under Ua Neill, namely, under Henry, son of Henry,
son of Eogan Ua Neill, and under Mag Mathgamna, namely,
Aedh junior, son of Aedh the Red, son of Rughraidhe Mag
Mathgamna and under Mag Aenghusa, namely, under
Aedh, son of Art, son of Aedh Mag Aenghusa. And Ua
Domnaill met and bore that onset splendidly, firmly, and
turned on those and 13 men of them were slain by him,
under a good horseman of the people of Mag Mathgamna.
And were [it] not [for] the nearness of the night to them,
a crushing defeat had been inflicted by Ua Domnaill. And
Ua Domnaill came to his house victoriously on that
occasion, but that he brought neither peace, nor truce, nor
submission with him. — Henry, son of Mael[-Sh]echlainn,
son of Muircertach Da Neill and Muircertach, son of
Cairpre, son of Aedh Ua Neill, went on a [night] incur-
sion on Henry, son of Brian, son of Eogan Ua Neill,
whilst he was lying in the illness of his leg that was
broken before that. And Henry, son of Brian Ua Neill
and his wife, namely, daughter of Cu-Uladh Ua Neill,
were slain by them there and Henry, son of Mael-
[-Sh]echlainn and Muircertach, son of Cairpre Ua Neill,
were slain the same night, before they desisted from that
incursion, and other persons that are not reckoned here
fell between them. (And, although the leg of Henry,
son of Brian, was broken, on Henry, son of Maol-
[-Sh]echlainn going to him to slay him, it is certain that
he remembered that time his own nobleness, as he re-

and strength ; to wit, he gave an agile, very quick leap
angrily, secretly, from the couch on which he was in the
illness of his leg, and took the sharp-edged knife agilely
in his hand and gave an eager, very splendid thrust of it
full in the breast of Henry, son of Maol [-Sh]echlainn, and
he was dead immediately : so that that was the fall of these
two Henrys by each other.) — The son of Ua hAnluain,

widowhood well after that for nine and forty years15
fittingly, piously, honourably, died in the beginning of the
Harvest of this year. — Mac Cartain, namely, Patrick, son
of Aedh Mac Cartain the Bed, died this year. — Defeat
was put on Ua Concobair Faly, namely, on Cathair, son of
Conn, son of the Calbach, by Mag Eochagain, namely, by
James, son of Conla, son of Aedh the Tawny, And the
son of Ua Concobair, namely, Tadhg, son of Cathair and
the son of Toirdelbach Ua Concobair the Freckled, and
the son of Art Ua Concobair and two sons of Aedh Ua

Mac-an-baird of Tir-Conaill, namely, Aedh Mac-an-baird,
died this year.— Gilla-Padraig, son of Redmund Ua
hAnluain, was slain this year by the son of Mag .Aengusa,
namely, by Feidhlimidh, son of Aedh, son of Art, son
of Aedh Mag Aengusa.— Gerald Mised, namely, a good
Foreign youth of the people of Alexander, son of Thomas
Plunket and Edmund, son of Andrew, son of t he blue
Grillie Tuite, were slain this year.— Mag Mathgamna
and his sons and his kinsmen made an incursion into the
land of the sons of Redmund Mag Mathgamna and it was
burned by them and they turned not until they got
pledges from the sons of Mag Mathgamna. — The son of
Ua Domnaill, namely, Conn, son of Aedh the Red, son of
Niall the Rough, sat under the castle of Sligech this year
about the time of Lammas. Fa Domnaill came to his
own town, that is, to Dun-na:(Ml, from the town of the
king of Scotland the Friday n after Lammas and went on
Saturday to follow his son to Sligech. And he had done
nothing more than enter the town when it was told him
that a host of Lower Connacht — at instigation of Brian,
son of Tadhg, son of Eogan Ua Concobair— and the
Calbach, son of Domnall, son of Eogan Ua Concobair
were [marching] to the town to put the son of Ua
Domnaill from the castle. And they thought not that
Ua Domnaill himself was nearer to them than the house
of the king of Scotland. And neither fear nor flight did
Ua Domnaill at those tidings, but took with him what was
of his own people under the castle, both foot and horse,
and struck out [i.e. went] against the host and defeated
them12 spiritedly, successfully. And there were slain there
Brian, son of Tadhg, son of Eogan Ua Concobuir and
10 King Jas. IV. For proofs

Ua Domnaill, namely, Aedh the Eed, son of Niall,rson of
Toirdelbaeh of the Wine and his son, namely, 'tConn,
let Mag Uidhir from out his captivity, the Saturday18 before
November Day, for Mag Craith and for the Termon. And it
seemed to every one that they did not fully acquit [them-
selves] with [St.] Dabeog, nor with the Termon, because it was
necessary for him19 to give a certain part of the ransom from
himself into the hand of Ua Domnaill and of his son, namely,
Conn, as a condition of liberating Thomas Mag Uidhir, who
was in durance much of the year with him.
(B,C)
Mag Uidhir20 was let out from his captivity by the descen-
dants of Ua Domnaill, in honour of the Termon and of Mag
Craith and for their own party and for their own dignity and
so on.
Mag Mathganma junior, namely, Brian, son of Eed-
mond and the descendants of Redmond also left the
Lucht-tighi21 and went into Fern-magh and the descen-
dants of Aedh the Eed went to the Lucht-tighi after
November Day in this year. — Mag Mathganma, namely,
Aedh junior, son of Aedh the Eed, died after his being
blinded a while before that ; namely, on the feast22 day
of Mary in Winter he died, after victory of Unction
and penance. — Tigernan, son of Cobthach, son of Art
Ua Euairc, was slain in treachery by Ferghal, son of
Cathal the Freckled, son of Art Ua Euairc and by the
sons of Uaithne, son of Cathal the Freckled. — Mac
David of Clann-Conmaigh died this year and the Mac
David that was made in his place was slain by the sons
of Ruaidhri Mac Diarmada, namely, Tadhg and another

Purgatorium S. Patricii, in Du
Cange (ed. Henschel, V. 523).
In the AA. SS. (Mar. t. 2), two
sections of the Ap. to the Acts of
St. Patrick are devoted to the Pur-
gatory : V. Be Purg. S. P., 587-9 :
VI. De modo purgationis . . . olim
et nuper, 589-92.
An annalistio excerpt from a
source not indicated (ib. 590) states
that, in 1494, a Canon Regular of
Eymstadt, having made the pil-
grimage, was demanded an exor-
bitant sum as the price of admis-
sion by the local bishop, chief and
prior, in turn. Having convinced
them of his inability to pay, he was
at length allowed to enter the cave ;
when, to his disappointment, he be-
held no vision! Whereupon, hast-
ening to Rome, he revealed the
cheat toAlexander VI., and was sent
back with Letters to the three in
question to destroy the Purgatory.
The main statements, it escaped
the Bollandists, will not bear
scrutiny. The Curia, in the first
place, had learned too severe a
lesson as to the credibility of
documents duly formulated and
attested (n. 1, sup.), to issue a

slain by Brian the Tawny, son of Rughraidhe, son of
Cathal Ua Ferghail. — The cave of the Purgatory of Pat-
rick6 on Loch-ghearg[-derg, co. Don.] was broken this
year by the Guardian of Dun-na-Grall and by the repre-
sentatives7 of tbe bishop in the deanery of Loch-Erne, by
authorization of the Pope, about the feast of Patrick of
this year ; it being understood by every one in general
from the History of the Knight8 and other old Books that
this was not the Purgatory Patrick got from God,
although they were, every one, visiting it. — Peace9 was
made by the two Ua Neills, namely, Domnall and Henry
junior, at tbe end of the Spring of this year and the son
of Domnall Ua Neill, namely, Aedh, was liberated with-
out ransom and other large donatives of horses and of
apparel and of increase of every valuable besides were
given to Domnall, in consideration of putting the name of
lord from him. — O'Domnaill, namely, Aedh the Bed,
son of Niall the Bough, put his lordship from him, on the
7th of the Kalends of the month of June [May 26] of this
year, in Carna of the Termon of Mag Craith. [This took
place] on Friday, the day of the week and the Tuesday
after that his son, namely, Conn, was made O'Domnaill. —

mandate on the verbal plaint of a
palmer. Furthermore, it strains
credulity that a charge of the
kind was taken as proven, without
those affected, includiug a bishop
who was Papal Collector (Thei.
495), being given an opportunity
of vindication. Finally and most
fatally, at the time there was no
local bishop to have Letters ad-
dressed to ; Alexander VI. having
transferred Courcey to Ross in
1494 and left Clogher vacant until
1502 (Ware, 186).
Settled procedure and the textual
data prove that, moved by com-
plaints touching the origin and
practice, the Pope appointed the
Vicar of Lough Erne deanery and
the Guardian of Donegal Monas-
tery to inquire and determine.
The result was the suppression of
the Purgatory on the ground of
false ascription to St. Patrick.

servance and 16 Friars of the Community of Dun-na-Gall
went into its possession on the yigil [Aug. 14] of the first
feast of Mary in the Harvest this year, the decision having
gone in their favour therein.17 — Very great, grievous
famine throughout all Ireland this year, to which the
folk of this time saw not the equal, nor like ; for there
was scarce an angle or recess in all Ireland wherein died
not many persons of that hunger. And in Meath the
peck of wheat used to be bought for five ounces and the
gallon of beer for six pence and amongst the Quidhil the
slender bundle of oats used be bought for an in-calf cow,
or ten pails of oats for the same [kind of] cow and the beef,
for a mark and the milch-cow, for two in-calf cows and
for a shilling or more. — O'Neill, namely, Henry junior,
son of Henry, son of Eogan, went [with] a large host into
Tir-Conaill this year and great devastations were done in
Fanad by them in the beginning and Ua Donmaill junior,
namely, Conn, son of Aedh the Red, arose against the
host, after Fanad was left by them, namely, at Bel-atha-
daire. 18 And defeat was inflicted on O'Domnaill then and
he himself was slain there and over eight score were slain
along with him and his two brothers, namely, Niall the
Rough and Domnall and the son of Mac Suibne and 16
men aloDg with them were taken there. Now, these were
the noble persons that were slain in company of Ua Dom-
naill in this defeat : to wit, Domnall, son of Maghnus the
Red, son of Domnall, son of Niall Ua Domnaill the Rough
and Edmond, son of Feidlimidh the Swarthy, son of Mall
Ua Domnaill the Rough and Brian, son of Ua Baighill,
[1497]
Observantine House to put in
possession. The choice of Donegal
appears honourable to that found-
ation.
From the number that went to
Carrickfergus, the whole of the
Conventual community, we may
infer, was transferred to Donegal.

And the other portion of them [slain were] of the Clann-

Cenannus, namely, Philip, son of bishop8 O'Eaighilligh
and his other brother (that is, Eogan), namely, a
canon that was in the same town, died this year of that
King's Game also. — A hosting by the Justiciary, that is,
the Earl of Kildare, namely, Gerald, son of Earl Thomas
— and very great part of the Gaidhil of Ireland [went]
along with him, to wit : O'Domnaill and O'Eaighilligh"
and Mag Mathgamna and O'Ferghail and O'Concobuir
Faly and the Gaidhil of all the Half of Conn, except
O'Neill alone — on Mac William of Clann-Eicaird. And,
O'Briain [came] in aid of Mac William. And they met
each other in Clann-Eicaird, on Cnoc-tuagh,7and a spirited
battle is fought between them, to which was not found;
the like in the latter time. So that heard afar from those"
bands were the battling of the battle-heroes and feats of
the champions and rush of the royal-heirs, and thunder
of the troops and bruit of the bands in being imperilled ;
the courage and impetuosity of the youths and of the
striplings and the enthusiasm of the brave men in their
falling, and the prevailing of the nobles over the lowly.

Howbeit, the battle is gained on Mac "William and on TJa [1504]

array of battle, there escaped not alive of them but one
thin battalion alone.

so that the field became uneven from those heaps of
slaughter, with the multitude of spears and of swords and
of battle-shields and of corpses cross-thrown, confused
and of slain youths stretched stark-dead and of gillies
beardless, loathsome, unsightly. So that slaughter of
the Momonians was inflicted in that great conflict. And
there fell many multitudes of the forces of the Earl on
the other side. Howbeit, the Earl returned to his house
on that occasion with triumph of overthrow and 4 of the
children of Mac William, namely, 2 sons and 2 daughters,
with him also. — A treacherous attack [was made] on TJa

hour and the town was taken from them and Tadhg
himself and two of his sons were hung and the third man
of them was mutilated on the same day. — A night in-

in Tir-Conaill, namely, in Dun-na-Gall. So that it were
fitting to name him the Augustus of the whole north-
west of Europe. And he died after victory of Unction
and penance, in the 78th year of his age and in the 44th
year of his lordship, on Friday, the 5th of the Ides [11th]

hosting by the son of O'Domnaill, namely, Aedh junior,
son of Aedh the Rough, into Tir-Eogain and the town of
O'Neill (namely, the town of Domnall O'Neill) and the
town of Aedh, son of Domnall O'Neill, and the town of
Brian, son of Domnall O'Neill, were burned by him and
from Abhann-mor7 inward was traversed by him without
opposition, without contest. And he sat under Castle-
Derg on his return and the castle was taken by him and
his own warders were left in it and he went from that to
Cell-mic-nEnain8 and was proclaimed king over Tir-
Conaill, on the 2nd day of the month of August, by will
of God and men and so on. — A hosting by Ua Neill,
namely, by Domnall, into Dartraighe of Oirgialla and
the country was wasted and pillaged by him and Aedh,
son of John the Tawny, son of Eogan Mag Mathgamna,
was slain there and so on. And Ua Neill went to his
house from that expedition with triumph of victory. —
Domnall, son of Art O'Neill, was slain by Brian, son of
[16051
of Enan. Quorum, etc., arose from
the writer being unaware that Cho-
brain was written over Cholmain
(on blank end of previous line).
With the L. L. MS. before him,
Colgan {Adam. 247) reads Nemain;
omits Cobran (for the reason just
given) ; and doubts not that Kell-
mac-Enain is = Cella-filiorum-En-
ani. But, another proof of his in-
dependent research, on the prece-
ding folio (p. 369g) the son of Enan
is among the Ir. SS. who were only

Aodh the Red, follows him through Meath id to Munster
with a small force and they march together into Ella and
take the castle of Cenn-tuirc1 and harry the country and
go after that into great Desmond and take the castle of
the Pailis2 and the castles along the Maing in [their]
entirety3 and go safe backwards into county Limerick.
Afterwards, they make reunion4 of the host and the Greral-
dines of Munster assemble under James, son of the Earl of
Desmond and the Foreigners of Munster [assemble] beside
and Mag Carthaigh the Swarthy, namely, Domnall, son
of Diarmait, son of Finghin and Cormac junior, son of
Cormac, son of Tadhg and the Foreigners and Gaidhil
of Meath and Leinster and [all] go to Limerick. And
Toirdelbach, son of Tadhg O'Briain, king of Thomond
and Mac Conmara and the Sil-Aodha5 and Clann-Ricaird
mustered a large host against them. And the Earl with
his host went through Belach-na-fadhbaighe and Belach-
an-gamna, until he reached a very good bridge6 of wood
that was made by O'Briain across the Shannon and he
breaks the bridge and remains a night in camp in the
country. And O'Briain with his host made a camp by their
side, so that each portion of them used to hear the con-
versation, or the story-telling, that was being done by the
other half. Upon the morrow, the Earl arranges his host
and places the Foreigners and Graidhil of Munster in front
and places the Foreigners of Meath and Ath-cliath on the

But the interpolation is the re-
verse of probable. Had the in-
vaders (who, O'Donnell's rearward
post proves, were in flight) turned
from -within easy reach of safety
and marched eight miles through
the territory of the pursuing enemy,
few had ped to tell the tale to
the Ulster Annalist.
The bridge, it is thus safe to in-
fer, was a short distance w. of
Limerick, whence the route lay
through Moin - net - b. (Bog of the
Friars), Monabraher (Long Pave-
ment), n, of the river, direct to the
city.
The ambiguity would be re-
moved, were B.-na-f. (Pass of the
Forest) and B.-an.-g. {Pass of the
Calf) not obsolete. To locate them
e. of Limerick (O'D. v. 1306) is
gratuitous.

axes in Lower Connacht and in Tir-Conaill and in Fir-
Manach. O'Domnaill proceeds from Derry [with] a few
horsemen and takes the castle of Bel-in-clair4 in the
country of Galenga and leaves warders in it and goes back
into Tir-Fiachrach. Mac William musters and goes
towards the town and, on that being learned by O'Dom-
naill, he attacks the town again and Mac William
abandons the town to him and goes to put provision and
warders into the castle of Escir-abhann5 in Tir-Fiachrach.
On that being learned by O'Domnaill, O'Domnaill pur-
sues him across Sliabh-gamh6. On this being notified to
Mac William, he leaves his son and other warders in the
town and goes forward himself to Ard-na-riag7. O'Dom-
naill catches sight of him and he is pursued and they come
between Mac William and the ford. And Mac William
by swimming escapes [despite them] from it [with] a few
and the [escaped] part of his people is followed beyond

— Great raids were made by O'Domnaill in Gailenga,

son of Niall, son of Art, wherein he [either] slew [or]
took many of their people and wherein he wrested their
horses and their accoutrement from them and whereby
he humbled them then, so that lordship of Tir-Eogain
remained without dispute with him from that out. — War
arose between O'Domnaill (namely, Aodh) and O'Neill
(namely, Art junior) and many persons were hired on
each side by them and they were long in camp opposite
each other. And it came of the grace of the Holy Ghost
and of the counsel of worthy persons that cordial peace
was made by them and they went to meet each other on
the bridge of Ard-stratha5 and gossipred was made by
them with each other. And new charters, along with
confirmation of the old charters, were granted by Da
Neill to Da Domnaill for Cenel-Moen and for Inis-Eogain
and for Fir-Manach. And O'Domnaill delivered to
O'Neill his son, namely, Niall O'Neill, who was6 for a
long time before that in pledge for fidelity. — The sons

Great war arose between Ua Domnaill and O'Neill and
great hiring of persons was done by them both and great
raids were made by Maghnus Ua Domnaill on the son of
O'Neill, namely, Henry the Stammerer and very much of
the country was burned from the Mountain inward1 by
Ua Domnaill. — Other raids also were made by Brian,
son of Conn O'Neill, in Cenel-Moen. — "War arose between
John, son of Conn O'Neill and the descendants of Aodh
O'Neill. John unites with O'Domnaill because of O'Neill
being with the descendants of Aodh. O'Domnaill goes
[with] a host into Tir-Eogain and burns Cenel-Feradhaigh
and by the [river] Una. — A French knight came on his
pilgrimage2 to the Purgatory of Patrick this year.
O'Domnaill joins friendship with him and brings him
with him to his house and does great honour to him and
gives horses and an African[?] ring to him and escorts him
safe to his ship. It comes of the friendship of O'Domnaill
with him, that he sent a ship full of ordnance and of guns
[capable] of breaking a castle, in charge of the deputy of
the king3 of Scotland, to O'Domnaill. O'Domnaill hauls
the ship with him to Sligech and himself and part of his
host go and sit under the town. And O'Neill [was]
at war with him after that and Mac Diarmata and from
the Mountain down4 were at war with him before that.

made by O'Donmaill and by O'Neill. O'Domnaill [was]
on the Plain of the Old Castle and O'Neill in Carraic-na-
fiach11 [and they agreed] under guarantees of Grod and
on the relics of the church and under guarantees of the
Conallian and Eoganian nobles on remaining constantly
as the Earl of Kildare and the members the Council of
king should say. And they promised under the same
guarantees to go to meet the Earl within a month from
that time. O'Domnaill sets out and goes to Ath-cliath to
meet the Council of the king and was a week honourably
there and joins in amity with them. And neither O'Neill,
nor a person from him, went there and O'Domnaill comes
safe to his house. — A large12 party of Friars of Cavan
were drowned upon Loch-Erne and two Friars of [Stricter]
Observance [were] in it, namely, John, son of Thomas
Carrach Mag Craith and Nicholas O'Cathain and other
persons with them. — Mac Conmidhi, namely, Brian
junior, son of Brian Mac Conmidhi the Red and his wife
died this year. — A night incursion was made by Aodh
Blind[-eye], son of Niall, son of Art O'Neill, into Fin-

this year. — A General1 Chapter was [held] in Rome this
year by the Friars Minor of Christendom in their entirety,
through grace of the Holy Chost and through favour of
Pope Leo X. And, amongst the things that were deter-
mined then, it was decided that the Minister of the Friars
of [Stricter] Observance should be over the Friars in
their entirety and that only a Vicar, or Master, should
be over the Friars of Common Life. And every mon-
astery of Common Life which should have two-thirds of
the community unanimous to have it of [Stricter] Obser-
vance, it should be obligatory on the Minister of the
Friars of [Stricter] Observance to take it to him and that
it should be under their obedience from that out. — Raids

there waiting for [Aedh] the son of Niall, son of Conn
and [on the same] O'Neill mustering a host during that
space, O'Domnaill burns the country on his return, until
he reached Dun-Genainn. And O'Neill abandons the town
to him and the town is afterwards burned completely
and from that inwards to the Mountain4 and he comes safe

And Donchadh O'Cathain took him before that and de-
prived him forcibly of the name of king and lordship. —

French. And they [the Scots] succeeded not in giving
aid to him, except one hosting they made on the border
of the Saxons to destroy the country. And binding of
peace was made by them then to a certain time2. And,
though brave were the nations and though they were
many to count against the French, we learn from the folk
who spread news and frequent ports that it was with the
French remained the victory3 of the contest4 and the
bravery of that war against the many nations.
Very5 great war arose in Ireland this year and particu-
larly between O'Domnaill, namely, Aodh and O'Neill,
namely, Conn, son of Conn. And O'Neill collected a
large host in one place, namely, his own sept and kinsmen
and the sub-kings of Ulster, that is, Mag Aenghusa with
his kinsmen and Mag Mathgamna with the nobles of
Oirgialla and O'hAnnluain and Mag Uidhir and O'Cathain
and some of the Foreigners of Meath and a band of Scots
under the son of Mac Domnaill, namely, Alexander
Carrach and many other gallowglasses of the Clann-Dom-
naill and the Clann-Sithigh. And after the assembling
of that large host, they marched into Tir-Conaill and were
themselves and O'Domnaill close to a week in camp in face
of one another, using feint on each other. And no notable
damage was done that while, except an attack that was
given by the front of the Conallian host at the entrance
of Ath-na-pucan6, on the [river] Finn and the son of
O'Neill, namely, Niall, son of Art junior, was dangerously
wounded in his leg there. A s to O'Neill afterwards, he pre-
tends to return to Tir-Eogain and marched through Cois-
[1522]
hostilities between O'Neill and
O'Donnell, a good specimen of
native composition, is enhanced by-
comparison with the corrupt text
and confused order of the F. M.

burned and destroyed much of the country and took the
castle of Bel-atha-Senaigh9 and slew many persons in it,
namely, the son of Mac Suibne of Tir-Boghaine, that is,

There was taken there the black Gillie, son of [Cu-]

chanced to be with him there were slain. There was
slain there also a good learned person — namely, Diarmait,
son of Tadhg O'Cleirigh the Lame, one eminent, in history
and a good poet — who chanced to be in the place at that
very time, waiting to go to meet O'Neill. And there
was slain there also on the same occasion the son of Mac-

likely to be a good poet. And they made a sally on
Magh-Eni on the morrow and the son of O'ftuairc, namely,
Brian, chanced [to be] before them and they made an
attack on him and two good horsemen, namely, Rugh-

and the son of Mac Cellaigh, were taken from him in centre
of the Drobhais. And they burned Bun-Drobhaisi12 and
Dun-Cairbri13 and Bel-leice14 and threw down and burned
the Bridge of the Erne. And they left the country on
the morrow and went to Inis-Sceillinn and got hostages
from the Coarb Mag Uidhir,namely,his son and his brother
and he pledged submission to O'Neill15. And that host
returned with victory and overthrow on that occasion,

O'D. (v. 1352) infers that, as he
succeeded to Eillaloe in 1482
(Ware, p. 47), " he could not^have
been very young at this period."

used to mean second of a name, or

age. ThesCTior(mor)inthiscasewas

without damage being done to them, except a band of
Scots that were taken from them in the district of
O'Eiannagain.
And [it was] not long after that until O'Neill collected
the same host and they went into Tir-Conaill and he
destroyed much of the country, until he went to GHenn-
[Fhjeile and they seized on spoil in Cenn-maghair. And,
when O'Domnaill and the Conallian nobles heard that, they
mustered and met each other and this is the counsel they
adopted, — to go into Tir-Eogain. And they left O'Dom-
naill and part of his gallowglasses in camp and Maghnus
O'Domnaill and the other part of the host and Conn, son of
Mall, son of Art O'Neill, marched far out into Tir-Eogain.
And they found great spoils and herds to put before them,
so that it was not easy for them to drive them, for the
amount of the cattle-spoil that was there. And they
came [off] safe, after killing a number of persons and
after raiding much of the country. And when Ua Neill
and his host heard that, they turned on the track of those
preys, destroying much of the country and without notable
damage being done to him on that march.
Another war arose against O'Domnaill this year in the
province of Connacht, arising from the design and pro-
cedings of O'Neill: to wit, the two Mac Williams and
Mac Diarmata and every force they found united with
each other against O'Domnaill and a very large host was
mustered by them around Mac William of Clann-Bicaird,
namely, Ricard, son of Ulick, son of TJlick. And O'Cer-
baill, namely, Maelruanaigh and the nobles of his district
and Mac William de Burgh and Mac Diarmat and O'Con-
cobuir the Brown and Mac Feorais and Mac Maurice and
O'Cellaigh and the sons of O'Briain, namely, Donchadh
and Tadhg, and the junior16 bishop O'Briain and part of
[1522]
The present entry and the obit,
1525, inf., there is little doubt,
were Ware's authority for stating
that Torlogh was "more inclined
to martial affairs than well became
the episcopal function '' (ib.)

18 First feast, — In Harvest, Aug.
IS. F. M. state the Connacht
muster (which they place first in
the year !) was to meet O'Neill in
ANNALS OF ULSTER. 545
Sil-Cennetich17 went on that hosting. And on their [1522]
coming together, they went without hindrance to Sligech,
the Friday before the first feast18 of Mary. And O'Neill
collected another large host about that time, to go to
meet the Connacht host ; for it was he himself that was
drawing them on and they promised to meet each other
about the first feast of Mary in the district of O'Domnaill.
As to O'Domnaill and the Cenel-Conaill : they were
mustering to meet each other about that time, for then-
party and their border friends abandoned them. And,
when themselves came together, this is the counsel they
adopted, — to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their
territory and their land. And they marched in one com-
pact body, that they might give attack by day or night
to the host of O'Neill. And on that host of O'Neill rising
out, they went into Cenel-Moen and took a fortified position
at Loch-monann. And when the Conallians heard that,
the result of their counsel was to attack them that night ;
for they left behind all their horses, in order that they
should have less mind of flight or of turning back. And
they considered, as the other host was more numerous
than themselves, that the night would be of aid to them
and that they would find them without a strict guard.
And not thus they were, for they got accurate tidings
and were distrustful respecting them, on account of the
greatness of their courage. Hence they went on guard :
to wit, O'Neill and his horse-host went on watch a space
from the camp and they left a large portion of the best
of their gallowglasses and Scots in [battle-] array on the
ridge of the camp on the other side. And it seemed to
themselves it was great luck for them to have their foes
make for them [whilst they were] in that array. As
to O'Domnaill and the Conallian nobles : as they marched
Tirhugh on this day. The capture of Ballyshannon, they say, took place
June 11.

they marshalled themselves and went into [battle-]array, L1522l
namely, O'Domnaill and Maghnus O'Domnaill, his son,
royal heir of the territory and the others of his sons
that were serviceable and the three Mac Suibnes and
O'Baighill and the Muintir-Dochartaigh and a few of
Lower Connacht. And when they came near to the camp
of O'Neill, those two hosts gave two huge shouts at one
another, so that the Conallian host went out of the array
and were themselves and the host of O'Neill mingled with
each other and a long while co-slaying each other, as they
had a mind to. But [for] one thing however, the Con-
allian host gained possession of the camp of O'Neill and
broke through what was opposed to them there and the
camp with many suits of armour remained with them.
And they spent what was before them of the night in
slaying and in routing their foes. And when O'Neill
heard that the site of the camp was in the hands of his
enemies, he departed [with] the battalion in which he
was and the part of his people that remained with him.
And the want of their horses did not allow the Conallian
host to pursue the horse-host, as they had a mind to.
And on the coming of the light of day to them, it was
very manifest what was slain on the site of the camp in
the conflict of that night, along with heaps of slain of the
Clann-Domnaill and of the Clann-Sitigh and of Scots and
of the Oirgialla and of the Men of Meath. So that Tir-
Conaill was the better during the space of that time [for]
what came to them of horses and of arms and of armour
and of apparel and of provision and of every thing it
were fitting for a host to have. As to the Conallian host :
they turned back to succour the castle of Sligech against
that Connacht host that sat around it. And when the
two Mac Williams and that large host that was respon-
sive to them heard of the march of O'Domnaill to them,
and he after inflicting confusion on that other host, they
fled themselves from the town and went off in plight of

until they themselves were prompted to go against each [1524]
other and Eogan took the town of Niall, namely, the
crannog of Loch-bethach, which was close by him. And
then Niall went1 into Magh-Luirg and [afterwards] made
long leaguer against the place and repulse was put upon
him by it and [then] he was in ambush in proximity to
it. And Eogan got tidings of that and came, [with] a
more numerous complement of persons, to the wood
wherein was Niall and they fell in with each other and
smote each other without ruth. And Eogan was slain on
the spot and stroke of sword was stricken on Niall,
whereof he died quickly after that. And it is not easy
[to say] that there came folk of their years of the Cenel-
Conaill that were greater in heroic deeds than that pair.

large force of Scots whom he had were, another large
host, along the Finn and Maghnus O'Domnaill and a
party of the Scots went to discharge weapons at the host
of the Earl in the night. And the son of O'Bruin5,
namely, the Oalbach, son of Brun, son of Tadhg, was slain
by them — a great loss in his own country. And peace was
made between them on the morrow, without much being
destroyed in the country and they turned back into Tir-
Eogain. And they found Aodh, son of Niall, son of Conn,
lord of Trian-Conghail, [with] a large host, destroying the
country and he disdained to go away suddenly and the thick

of the host overtook him and he was slain. And not a [1624]

for he was the literary head of his own sept and the true well
of generosity and protecting head of the order of poets and

O'Domnaill, namely, Aodh and O'Neill, namely, Conn, went
to the Great Council to Ath-Cliath, to meet the Justiciary:
and the Councillors of the king and very many of the nobles
of the Foreigners and Gaidhil [were] there. And, after
their labouring and much parleymade by their friends of the
Foreigners and Gaidhil against each other and for them-
selves, it resulted not in peace being made between them,
but [in] going to their houses. And O'Domnaill went
[with] a host twice into Tir-Eogain this year and much
was destroyed by him in it and he was not encountered
during those [raids]. And a patched-up peace was made
between them in the beginning of Harvest and a promise
to abide as the Earl of Kildare and Maghnus O'Domnaill
should say. — A horrible deed was done in Ireland this
year-: to wit, the bishop1 of Leithglinn was killed in
treachery by the son2 of the abbot, son of Mac Mur-
chadha and he [lived] with [the bishop] himself from

kinship and from affection. And the persons who had a [1526]
hand in that deed whom the Earl of Kildare seized on, he
took them with him to the place where the evil deed was
done and directed them to be flayed alive at first and
their bowels and their entrails to be taken out of them and
then to be burned in his presence. — O'Cathain, namely,
John, son of Thomas, a warlike man, who was pretender
lo [the lordship of] his own district, was slain by
portion of his own sept in a night incursion ; namely, by
Mac Ruaidhri of the Route and by the son of Godfrey
O'Cathain that was done on Lammas night. — The bishop8
of Cell-da-Lua4, namely, Toirdelbach, son of Mathgamain5
O'Briain, died. The unique Gaidhel who got and spent
most of the world in his own time and who least hoarded
beyond his spending [was] he and a man of general
hospitality to every one [was] that bishop and who de-
fended his right in [his] country and border-land, [part]
by consent and [part] in despite and a man who often
brought a large host to muster to destroy his enemies.
So that there was not in proximity to him in his own
district, or in another district, any good person or leader
that did not accept his stipend. And another thing also :
[the death of] that bishop was the [sore] deed above every
deed and the loss aboye every loss that happened to learn-
ing at one time with his. — The [rural] dean6, son of Brian
Mac Conmidhe the Red, a man that kept a general guest-
house for every one and his son, namely, Cerball, [died]

says this is the true date and ac-
count of what is told in the first
entry of 1525, because Ware (An-
nals, 79) gives the present item only.
He was unaware at the time of the
present text (and probably of the
A. L. C, which have both entries).
Otherwise, he would not have
taken Ware's omission to outweigh
coeval evidence.

The son of O'Ruairc, namely, Tadhg, son of Eogan, was
slain in treachery by the people of his own brother. —
O'Neill1, namely, Conn and the son of O'Domnaill,
namely, Maghnus, went to meet the Earl of Kildare,
namely, Gerald, son of Gerald, Justiciary of Ireland, in
the Spring of this year, to make the peace of the Conal-
lians and Eoganians. And, after the assembling of many
of the nobles of the Foreigners and Gaidhil to pacify
them, peace was not knit between them that time, but they
went safe to their houses. — O'Raighilligh, namely, Eoghan>
died this year and great war [arose] between his own
sept respecting lordship of the country, until Eergal,
son of John O'Raighilligh, was proclaimed O'Raighilligh,
on recommendation of the Justiciary and many of the
nobles of Foreigners and Gaidhil, although there were
persons elder2 than he pretending to it. — Great war arose
in Lower Connacht this year : to wit, very great part of
them joined against O'Domnaill under Brian, son of
Feidhlimidh, son of Maghnus O'Concobuir and under
the son of Cathal O'Concobuir junior and under the
descendants of Cormac Mac Donnchaidh. And great
raids were made by them in Lower Cairpre on the persons
that remained in the country. And O'Domnaill broke
down the castle of the Grainsech in eric of those and he
went after that into Magh-Luirg and the country was
burned and destroyed by him and he and his host went.
off safe afterwards. — O'Neill, namely, Conn, went [with]
a host to prevent the work of a castle8 which Maghnus
O'Domnaill began to build at Port-na-tri-namat. And
O'Domnaill [was] in Lower Connacht and part of the
horse-host of Maghnus O'Domnaill overtook the head of
the host and the son of John, son of Conn O'Neill, namely,

him, except like that. — That Sil-Concobuir4 and the
Clann-Donnchaidh who were at war6 with O'Domnaill
went around the castle of Sligech to destroy corn-fields
and to attack the place. And O'Domnaill in some way
got tidings of their being there and marched against
them and overtook them and they were defeated by him
and the son of Mac Donnchaidh and many others that

And there was slain there Concobar junior, son of Con-

day ; for the amount of his courage and the excellence
of his hand allowed him not to accept safety that day, on
its being presented to him often. — O'Dochartaigh, namely,

excess of his illegality and his injustice on them, so that t1634!
this was the counsel .the king and nohles of the Saxons
adopted, — to put the Earl into the tower of London in anti-
cipation of his ruin. As to the son and heir of the Earl,
namely, Thomas4, son of Gerald : after hearing that, this
is the counsel himself and his kinsmen and his friends of
the Foreigners and Graidhil decided on, — to make alliance
of war against the king. After that counsel was heard of by
the archbishop5 of the town of Ath-cliath and by the prior6
of Cell-Maighnenn,7 by the bishop8 of Meath and by many
others who are not reckoned here, who had a part in putting
the Earl in the place of hisruin, excessively greatfearseized
them, so that they left their lordship and their courts and
their castles and every other wealth they had without
custody, so that they fled from Ireland very quickly
cowardly, irresolutely, to go to Saxon-land, for fear and
for great dread of the son of the Earl putting them to
death in revenge of his father. As to the archbishop of
the town of Ath-cliath, it is publicly related he went forth
by a night journey to leave Ireland, with but a few of his
people with him. And on his going into the ship at
Benn-Edair9, the people of the son of the Earl overtook
him and he was taken by them, without respect to his
privilege or to his reverence, and excessive hardship was
put on him and they carried him with them to Ard-aidhin
[Artane], in proximity to Cluain-tarbh [Clontarf]. When
the son of the Earl heard that thing, it pleased him : he
made not rest, or stay, until he reached the place where
the bishop was and he put on his people to do a prodigious,
unprecedented, unmerciful deed, through which were

equal, fairly-lopped quarters of the archbishop. So that
that was the cause of the war we mentioned. — An un-
timely, hurtful deed was done in Fir-Manach Martinmas
night [Nov. 11] precisely : to wit, Maghnus Ua Duibh-
gennain the Tawny, an eminent historian, was strangled
and smothered and concealed in his own house by his own
wife and by Brian, son of Toirdelbach Mag Uidhir.
Tidings of tbat murder went through the territory and
Brian fled into Oirghialla. And Flaithbertach, son of
Philip, son of Toirdelbach, arrested that woman and
arrested two other culprits who were [implicated] in that
murder and gave them up to Mag Uidhir and Mag Uidhir
burned those two in one day. And the woman, who was
pregnant by her own husband, was put in prison until she
brought forth that birth and was hung at the end. Two
brothers of that Brian pursued him into Oirghialla and
he was killed by them in treachery. And woe is the one
who does murder, or deceit, to doom, after that murder
and the excellence wherewith it was punished through
miracles of God and Martin.

Plain of fleetness ; Maynooth, co.
KUd. A quatrain in L. L. (43a.
The first distich is missing), attri-
butes fleet pace, luathu ceim, to
Cairpre (K. I, si. c. a.d. 305, Td.
Let. III. 209). Overhead is - re-
mark : Unde Magh-luadat in h Uib-
Faelain [barr. of Clane, Ikeathy and
Oughteranny, Salt, N. and S., oo.

The Bk. Ar. (19a) has the items :
jD[omnach-]m{Sr M [aige-J l\uadai],
Ere. The nexus is supplied by the
Mar. Tal. (L. L. 364g) : Oct. 2J.
Bp. Ere of D.-mor of M.-l. The
Cat. Oen. likewise has Ere ofD. -m. ;
which, the L. B. gloss states, is in
M.-l., in the N. of Ui-Faelain.
This identifies D.-M. with Donogh-
more, 2 miles b. of Maynooth.
Similarly, Senan (Sep. 2, Mar. Tal.,
L. L. 362o ; Cal. Oen.), according
to L. B., is of Lathraoh-Briuin, in
Ui-Faelain (Laragh-Bryan, near
Maynooth).
The change of name, it appears
from the foregoing, took place be-
tween the beginning of the ninth
century and the middle of the
twelfth, — the respective dates of
the Book of Armagh and the Book
of Leinster.

sold and betrayed8 by him to tbe Saxons, whilst the warders
of the town were asleep and the majority of the warders
were slain in their sleep and five, or six, clerics and priests9
were slain there. And, when they went into possession of
the town, they brought that man who betrayed the town
to them, into the presence of the Deputy of the king. And
it was asked of him how long he could hold the town, if
he had not betrayed it. And he said that he c uld hold
it to the end of a year. After that, it was asked of him
what the son of the Earl had done to him for which he did
treachery on his lord. And he said that he never did
anything in the world that was displeasing to him. And
it was reproached to him that he did much injury to
Foreigners along with the son of the Earl and the
Saxons said it were fitter for him to do treachery on
themselves, who gave nothing to him, than to do
treachery on the son of the Earl, who gave much to
him. And this is the sentence that was passed upon
him, — everything that was promised to him, to give it
to his father, for he did not treachery or deception, und the
man that did the deceit and the foul treachery on his lord,
to be put to death, on the plea that he would do more of

out foundation.
8 Betrayed. — "The castle . . is
said by Stanihurst to have been
betrayed by Chris. Pareis ; but in
Skeffington's own account . . there
is not the slightest allusion to any
such betrayal ; and, as the Irish
annalists make no mention of it,
we may easily believe it to be one
of the many pure fabrications with
which Stanihurst has embellished
his narrative " (O'D. v. 1421).
But, having regard to the man-
ner in which it was effected, the
betrayal is not excluded by
Skeffington's account; whilst the
present text, tallying with Stani-
hurst in every detail, save giving
the reward to the father, disproves
the inferential charge of fabri-
cation.
The castle was taken "the 23rd
day, being the Tewsdaye next be-
fore EisterDay " (Skef. and Coun-
cil to Hen. VIII. St. P. ii. 230).

Coimacht and were between [the rivers] Dubh and
Drobhais the first night. Ua Domnaill proclaimed to
the host to put watch and warders between them and the
Connacian host that was mustered opposite them. Aedh
the Tawny, son of Ua Domnaill, put a party of the de-
scendants of bishop9 O'Gallchubair as wards and Ua
Baighill [with] a few of his people with him went to
watch [on the same side]. The two watches themselves
fell in with each other and Ua Baighill by mischance was
slain between them by one stroke of a javelin. The host
became disordered because of that and had [it] not been
[for] the excellence of the intervention, many would have
fallen among them on account of the death of Ua Baighill.
The host [then] went to Tir-Fiachrach and were there
eight days, or nine, destroying the country. The sons of
Ua Domnaill and Mag Uidhir and the sons of Ua Ragh-
alligh went [with] eight, or nine, score of horsemen to
Tir-Amalghaidh. Much damage was done by them
around the monastery of the Maighen10 and great spoils
were brought by them to the host. The host turned
back, after Ua Domnaill making peace between bishop11
Barrett and the sons of John de Burgh. Frequent fight-
ing took place between those12 hosts and not much damage
was done between them. Ua Domnaill went to his house
without peace, without truce. — A hosting by Ua Neill
and Niall Ua Neill junior around the Cargin13 and on the
plain of the Old Castle14 Much corn was destroyed by
them. Ua Neill went from that to Oirecht-Ui-Oathain
and to Trian-Congaill. Niall junior went to the Lucht-

of Killala who sent a procurator to
a provincial synod at Galway in

that themselves [his enemies] all were burned and the
church was not burned. — Art junior, son of Art, son of
