The Council of the Celtic Society having entrusted me with the superintend
ence of this volume in its progress through the press, I hereby certify that it is in
all respects conformable to the rules of the Society. I avail myself of this
opportunity, to return, upon the part of the Council, their thanks to the Council
of the Royal Irish Academy, for their permission to print the " Genealogy of
Corca-Laidhe," and some of the poems contained in this volume, from their MSS.,
and to have access to the ancient seal representing Brian, King of Cineal Eoghdin.
To the Provost and Board of Trinity College, Dublin, we are indebted fot their
kind permission to copy some ofthe poems which will be found in this volume.
I have also to return to Sir William JBetham our best thanks for his attention
in respect to the above relic, iphich has been procured through his intervention.
The Society are indebted to the Rev. John Quarry, rector of Clonakilty, for
the very valuable note on the district of Corca-Laidhe, which will be found in
thefirst Appendix, and for the Map ofthe Territory, which illustrates the publi
cation. To John O'Donovan, Esq. we are indebted chiefly for the work being what
it is. Through his labors,^ it has at length seen the light accompanied with a mass
"f information such as has rarely been exhibited. To him, too, we are indebted
for the accurate copies ofthe MSS. ofDocwra, which will be found in this volume.
Mr. Eugene Curry has rendered his assistance in every instance both in copying
and in preparing the Irish portion ofthe work for publication.

The following extracts frQm the Proceedings of the jRoyal Irish
Academy, Vol. IV, f>p. 484-5, 9ibih February, 1850, are here given
as illtist^ative of the poem on the lattle of Bun at p. 145, 8fc.

" Sir William Betham exhibited an impression of an ancient seal,
lately found near Beverley, in Yorkshire, on which is represented a
mounted cavalier, with a very long
sword drawn in his hand, round which
is the following inscription :
S. BRIEN. REGIS. DE KENEL.
EOGAIN.
"Brian O'Neill was King of
Cineal Eoghain (Kinel Owen, or
TjTone) from a.d. 1241 to 1260, when, along with many others of the
Irish chieftains, he was slain in the battle of Druim Dearg* (or Down).
His head was cut off and sent to King Henry III. ; and probably this
seal fell into the hands of the English victors, who carried it to Eng
land, and this accounts for its being found in Yorkshire.
" The Annals of the Four Masters have the following account of the
battle :¦ —
" 1260. — The battle of Druim Dearg, near Dun-da-leath-ghlas, (at
Downpatiick,) was fonght by Brian O'Neill and AeJh O'Conchobhair
Additional Notes by John O'Donovan, Esq. M.R.I.A.
a Tlie battle of Druim-Dearg ; i.e. p. 69, states that this battle was
of the Red Hill, or Ridge.— Sir Ri- fought in the streets of Down. His
chard Cox, in his Hibernia Anglicana, words are ; " Stephen de Long Espee,

Vlll

(King of Corinacht) against the English of the north of Ireland, in
which many of the Irish chiefs were slain, namely, Brian O'Neill,
the chief of Ireland ;" Domhnall O'Caine; Diarmuid Mac Lachloinn ;
Maghnus O'Cathain; Cian O'h-Innerghe ; Donslebhe Mac Cana;
Conchobhar O'Duibhdirma, and his son, viz. Aedh ; Aedh O'Cathain;
Muircheartach O'Cathain: Amhlaibh O'Gairmleadhaigh; Cu-Uladh
O'h-Anluain [and Niall O'h-Anluain. In a word, fifteen of the
chiefs" of the family of O'Cathain were slain on the field. Some
of the chiefs of Connacht also fell there, namely, Gilla-Chrisd, son
of Conchobhar, son of Cormac, son of Tomaltach [Mac Diarmuid],

Lord Justice (some call him Earl of
Salisbury, and Burlace styles him
Earl of Ulster ; but I think there is
no ground for either of the titles), he
encountered O'Neale, and slew him
and three hundred and fifty-two Irish
men in the streets of Down ; but not
long after the Lord Justice was be
trayed and murdered by his own peo
ple." Dr. Hanmer notices this battle
under the year 1258, and Cox, Grace,
and others, under 1259; but the an
nals of Ulster, and those of Kilronan,
Counaught, and Clonmacnoise, notice
it under the year 1260. In the Dublin
copy of the Annals of Innisfallen it is
entered under the year 1258 ; and it
is stated that it was fought on Sun
day, and that O'Neill's head was sent
to England. [He then refers to the
poem, given in full in this volume,
pp. 145 to 173, and concludes as fol
lows:] "In Mageoghegan's transla
tion of the Annals of Clonmacnoise
this battle is called the battle of
Downe Daloglass ; and it is stated
that 'Brian O'l^iU is since called

Bryan Catha in Duin, which is as
much as to say, in English, Bryan of
the battle of Downe.' Manns O'Kane
[Maghnus O'Cathain] and other chiefs
who fell in this battle are also caUed
' Catha an Duin,' i.e. ' of the battle
of Down,' in the pedigree of their
descendants in all the Irish genealogi
cal books."
l' Chief of Ireland, uachtaran h-
Ereanu. — In Mageoghegan's transla.
tion of the Annals of Clonmacnoise
this is interpreted, " Bryan O'Neale,
named the King of the Irish of Ire
land." He is evidently so called by
the annalists, because at the meeting
held at Cael Uisce in 1258, the greater
part of the Irish chiefs consented to
submit to him as their chief leader.
c Fifteen of the cAie/s.—This is
rendered, " fifteen of the best of the
O'Cahans were slayn at that present,"
in the old translation of the Annals of
Ulster, and "fifteen of the chiefest of
the family of the O'Kaghan's," in
Mageoghegan's Annals of Clonmac-

lord of Magh-lurg; Cathal, son of Tighearnan O'Conchobhair; Mael-
ruanaidh Mac Donnchaidh ; Cathal, son of Donnchadh, the son of
Muircheartach; Aedh, son of Muircheartach Finn; Tadhg, son of
Cathal, son of Brian O'Mael-ruanaigh ; Diarmuid, son of Tadhg, son
of Muireadhach, son of Tomaltach O'Marel-ruanaidh ; Conchobhar Mac
GillaArraith; Tadhg, son of Cian OGaghra; Gilla Bearaigh O'Cuinn;
Carrolus, son of the Bishop^ O'Muireadhaigh ; and many otheis, both
of the Irish nobility and plebeians."]
The English army was commanded by Stephen de Longespey, third
son of William de Longespey, natural son of King Henry II. by the
fair Rosamond, who became Count de Rosmar, in Normandy, and
Earl of Salisbury, in right of his wife, Ela, daughter and sole heiress
of William d'Eurieux, Count de Rosmar and Earl of Salisbury.
Stephen was married to Emmeline, daughter and heiress of Walter
de Riddlesford, and relict of Hugh de Lacy, first Earl of Ulster.
He has been sometimes styled hoth Earl of Salisbury and of Ulster,
even by Ware ; but he really was neither. He was made Lord Jus
ticiary of Ireland in 1258, 44 Hen. III.
This Brian is mentioned on the records in the Tower of London,
where, on the Close Rolls, is a writ directed to Brien O'Nel Regi de
Kinelun, to go with the Justiciary of Ireland, with horse and arms,
to join the King's army, then on an expedition to the parts of Scot
land. If he went, his seal may have been lost on this occasion.
On the great Roll of the Pipe of the Irish Exchequer are the fol
lowing entries : —

GENEALOGY OF COKCA LAIDHE.

The History of the Race of Lughaidh, Son of Ith.
LtJiGH-iTH,» i.e. Ith was smaller than his father, for Ith was the
name of each of them ; and these are the tribe of the Gaeidhil that
are not of the sons of Milidh,'' nor of the Tuatha De Danann," nor
of the Fir-Bolg,* nor yet of the Clann-Neimhidh ;® and it may be said
that their invasion is not of the seven invasions,' for Ith was the first [of
the Gaeidhil] that discovered Eire,8 and it was through him that
the sons of Milidh came to inhabit therein, and widely did his [Ith's]
tribe after him spread throughout Eire*" and Alba,' For it is boasted

' The Severn invasions. For an ac
count of these invasions of Ireland by
Ceasair, Partholan, Neimhidh, the
Fir-Bolg, Tuatha De Danann, &c. the
reader is referred to the Leabhar-
Gabhala, also Keating's History of
Ireland, and O'Flaherty's Ogygia.
S That discovered Eire. For the
different accounts of the arrival of Ith
in Ireland, see the Book of Ballymote;
fol. 20, b. O'Clery's Leabhar Gabhala
p. 69, Keating's History of Ireland,
(Haliday's edition) p. 261, 262, and
the Irish Nennius, p. 241 . It is said
that Ith saw Ireland from Breogan's
tower at Corunna. See Proceedings
of the Royal Irish Academy, May
13th, 1844. He was killed by the

Tuatha DeDanann, but his son Lugh
aidh returned to Spain aud informed
his relatives of his death, upon which
the sons of his relative Milidh or Mi
lesius, his own son Lughaidh, and
many of his brothers and relatives
came to Ireland to revenge his death ;
and they finally succeeded in wresting
the country from the Tuatha De Da
nann. See Keating's History of Ire
land, (Haliday's Edition) p. 289. This
invasion of Ireland by the Scoti,
Gaeidhil, or Milesians, is fixed by
O'Flaherty at A.M. 2934.

k Maccon. He was Lughaidh Mac-
con, son of Maicniadh, who was son
of Lughaidh Laidhe. He was the
stepson of Oilill Olum, king of Mun
ster, his mother Sadhbh being married
to Oilill. He was defeated in the
battle of Ceannfeabhradh, in the south
of the present county of Limerick, by
his stepfather, who banished him be
yond seas iu the year A.D. 237.
Having spent some time in exile, he
returned to Ireland with a great num
ber of foreigners, and put into Galway
bay, and seven days after his arrival
on Thursday, (as the AnnaUst Tigh-
earnach remarks) he defeated and
slew his uncle Art, monarch of Ire
land, in the battle of Magh-mucraimhe
near Athenry, after which he became
monarch of Ireland. The Four
Masters give him a reign of thirty
years, and the Annals of Clonmac
noise a reign of eighteen years, but
O'Flaherty shortens it to three'-years.
Keating states that Maccon was slain
at the instance of King Cormac Mac
Airt by a poet named Feirches at
Deargrath [Derrygrath] near Cahir
in the County of Tipperary.

The simple fact of Maccon's flight
into Great Britain to solicit aid against
his uncle Art, has been magnified by
the bards into bis conquest of the
World. The Ui-Fiachrach histori
ans get up a similar exaggerated ac
count about King Dathe having con
quered Britain and Gaul. See Gene
alogies §-c. of Ui-Fiachrach, pp. 19,
183. 1 Daire Sirchreachtach, translated
Darius PrsEdabundiis by O'Flaherty,
(Ogygia, part HI. c. 67, p. 329.) He
is called Daire Daimhtheach by Dubh-
altach Mac Firbisigh and Dairine by
Keating, who makes him contemporary
with Deirgthine the ancestor of Oilill
Olum, who wrested the sceptre of
Munster from the race of Lughaidh,
son of Ith. Keating writes : " The two
royal residences ' of the kings of the
province were Dun-g-Claire and Dun
Eochair Mhaighe. The two divisions
of Munster were governed by two
families, namely, the descendants of
Dairine and the descendants of Deirg
thine, until the time of Oilill Olum,
who was of the race of Deirgthine, and
who, after having banished Maccon,

6opc^ l.4)6e. 5
that Maccon'' obtained sway over the world; and it is certain that he
conquered the west of Europe without doubt, i.e. Alba, France, Sax-
onland, and the Island of Britain. And it is boasted concerning Daire
Sirchreachtach' that he obtained sway over all the west of Europe ; and
§ome of the leamed say that he won the whole world. It is stated that
Fathadh Canann"" obtained the government of the whole world from the
rising to the setting sun, and (if it be true) that he took hostages of
the streams, the birds, and the languages. And five kings of this tribe
took the kingdom of Ireland without doubt, namely, Eochaidh Op-
thach," Eochaidh Eadghothach," Maccon,? and the two Fathadhs,

who was of the race of Dairine, out
of Ireland, assumed the government
of both provinces and settled it upon
his own issue, leaving the posterity of
his son Boghan Mor, and of Cormac
Cas to succeed alternately to the so
vereignty of the two provinces of
Munster." Keating's Hist, of Ireland,
(Hal.) p. 137.
If this Daire ("the progenitor of the
Dairine, was really contemporary with
Deirgthine, it is clear that the Book
of Leacan is wrong, in making Maccon
be his grandson ; for Keating, D. Mac
Firbisigh and O'Flaherty make Maccon
the great grandson of Daire. The
generations of the two lines of Deirg
thine and Dairine from these two pro
genitors down to Oilill Olum and
Lughaidh Maccon were as follows :

1. Daire

1. Deirgthine I

2. Lughaidh Laidhe 2. Derg
I I
3. Maicniadh 3. Mogh Neid
I I
4. Lughaidh Mao- 4. MoghNuadhat
con, E. H. I
5. Oilill Olum.
™ Fothadh Canann. Most autho
rities agree in making him the third

son of Lughaidh Maccon king of Ire
land. O'Flaherty asserts that he was
the ancestor of the Campbels (in Irish
Mac Cathlin) Earls of Argyleshire.
He seems to have left Ireland for some
time. The pedigree of O'Laeghaire
of Ui-Laeghaire, (Iveleary,) in the
county of Cork, is traced to him by
some genealogists, and also that of
O'Baire of Muintir-Bhaire in the pa
rish of Kilcroghane, in the west of the
county of Cork.
^Eochaidh Opthach. He was mo
narch of Ireland according to O'Fla
herty's Chronology, A.M. 3432. Keat
ing traces his pedigree to Lughaidh
Mac Ith as follows: " Eochaidh Op
thach, son of Finn, son of Oilill,
son of Flann Euadh, son of Eothlan,
son of Mairtine, son of Sithchinn, son
of Eiaghlan, son of Eoan Breac, son
of Lughaidh, son of Ith."
0 Eochaidh Eadghothach, otherwise
called Eochaidh Eadghjidhach. He
was monarch of Ireland, A.M. 3041.
He was " the son of Daire, son of
Conall, son of Eadamhon, son of Mal,
son of Lughaidh, son of Ith." Keat.

^Maicniadh, i.e. son of the hero.
This may have been a cognomen of
Lughaidh; but still it is clear that
the compiler of the Book of Leacan
hag confounded Lughaidh Laidhe with
his son Maicniadh, and thus shortened
the Une by one generation. Dubhal-
tach Mac Firbisigh has suppUed this
from other compilations.
^Maccon, i.e. son of the hound, or
hero. Keating accounts for the origin
of this name by this Uttle fable ;
" Is in OlilU domo ut ejus prsevig-
nus, ut cujus matrem Sabham Conni
Centipreelii filiam OUUus uxorem ha-
bebat, pusiUus pusio versatus et non-
dum vestigia figere peritus ad OlilU
canem venaticum Aquilam Eubram
nomine mambus ..repeus accessit, et
canis infantulum ore ssepiiis arripuit
Irecte n ubera sorbenda aecepit] nee
tamen ab assiduo ad eum accessu co-
erceri potuit, quie res illi nomen Mac
con peperit, quod perinde est ac canis
venatici filius." — Lynch.

This, however, is clearly the con
jectured derivation of a posterior age.
The name Maccon would certainly de-
note filius canis, but it might be figu
ratively used to denote son of a hero,
and this looks the more likely, as his
father'snamewasMac-iiiadh,i.e. son of
achampion. The old Irish used the word
cu, a dog, or hound, to denote a hero,
or fierce warrior, and in this sense it
frequently entered into the composi
tion of names of men, as Cu-mara, i.e.
dog of' the sea; Cu-Uladh, dog of
Ulster; Cu-Mumhan, dog of Munster.
In the same sense the Latins used Ca-
tuUus, Cato, and the Greeks Cyrus.
>^ Aenghus Gaifuileach, i.e. Aenghus
of the bloody spear. He is also Aen
ghus Bolg, i.e. Aenghus of the sacks
or quivers. The name Aenghus,
which is angUcized Angus, Enos, and
Latinized ./Eneas, is compounded of
2len, singular, excellent, and jur,
deed, or act. Thc word sur and saI,
valor, fight, enter into the composi-

Laidhe North and South, East and West; and Laighis-h-Uan-Eneachlais

the Cascraidhe in the Deise-Mumhan ; and of them was Daniel son of
Fathadh.

Genealogy of Corca-Laidhe here first.
Lughaidh Laidhe, from whom the Corca-Laidhe, was the son of
Daire Sirchreachtach. Another name for him was Sen Lughaidh.
He had a son another Lughaidh, i.e. Maccon, and Lughaidh was also
the name of Daire, if some of the poets say truly. Maicniadh* was
the [popular] name of Tjughaidh Laidhe. Maccon*" had a celebrated
son, namely, Maicniadh. Maicniadh had good sons, namely, Aenghus

Ua Eidersceoil, i.e Nepos Eders-
celi, or Ederscelides, now anglicized
O'Driscoll. Eiderscel was formerly
very common as the name of a man
denoting interpreter or interlocutor.
The progenitor, from whom this sur
name was taken, was Eiderscel, son of
Finn, the sixteenth in descent from
Lughaidh Maccon, monarch of Ire
land. The author of Carbrim Notitia
is certainly in error, when he writes
that O'DriscoU is descended from Con-
aire Mor son of Eiderscel, monarch of
Ireland. " And tho' I doe believe that
O'Driscoll is of royall extraction, be
cause I conceive he is descended from
Conary Mor Mac BidriscoU, king of
all Ireland, since even Dr. Keating
confesseth that his posterity were seat
ed in 1 veragh and the west of Mun
ster, yet the Irish antiquaries say
there are but eight royall familyes in

Munster, whereof we have three in
Carbry, viz. Mac Carthy, ^O'Mahony
and O'Donovan." This writer should
have known that the famiUee of Ive-
ragh and the west of Munster, men
tioned by Dr. Keating as descended
from Conaire son of Eiderscel, were the
O'Falvys', O'Sheas', O'ConneUs', and
their correlatives. See Leabhar na
g-Ceart, pp. 47, 76 ; and that Keating
actually gives the pedigree of O'DriSr

Ireland. « Ua Cobhthaigh, i.e. nepos Cobh-

The name Cobhthaoh denotes Victor

whom the surname was called w^s

the twelfth in descent from Lughaidh
Maccon. This family was seated in
the barony of Barryroe, where Dun-

one daughter, i.e. Lighain daughter of Maine,'' who was the mother
of Ciaran of Saighir : he was born at Fintracht-Clere," and the angels
attended upon her. The orders of heaven baptized him. Here was
[dwelling] the chieftain who first believed in the Cross in Ireland, for
Ciaran had taken Saighir thirty years before Patrick arrived, as the
poet said — Saighir the cold'*
Found a city on its brink ;
At the end of thirty pleasant years
1 shall meet there and thou.
It was then too he [Patrick] predicted Conall and Fachtna," of whom
he said : A son shall be born at Tulach-teann,
Good to us shall one day be his church.
Many monks and steady monasteries
Conall shall rule after him.
It was he [Ciaran] that predicted to the progeny of EidersceF reign
and chieftainship over their race for ever; and it was he that left to the

of March, on which day they celebrate
the festival of their patron. " Accord
ing to Ussher's Chronological Index,
and the Dublin copy of the Annals of
Innisfallen, St. Kieran was born in
the year A.D. 352; he studied at
Rome, and in the year A.D. 402,
founded Saighir.
"1 Saighir the cold. Tlus is referred to
as nomen fontis, in the Feilire Aen-
guis at fifth of March. The place is
now called in Irish Saighir-Chiarain
anglicized Serkieran, which is a town-
land, containing the ruins of a church,
in a parish of the same name,
in the barony of Ballybritt, King's
County. See Ussher's Primordia, pp.
791,792, and Colgan's Acta SS. p.
429. ' Conall and Fachtna. This should

of Waterford, founded Eos-ailithre,

here referred to is also still to be seen

The celebrated Maurice de Portu
O'Fihely, called Flos Mundi, Arch
bishop of Tuam, from 1506 to 1513,
was of this family. He was born near
Baltimore, a town, as Harris remarks,
" celebratedfor its fine harbour,"from
which he was known as "de Portu."
See Harris's edition of Ware's Bishops,
p. 613.

' O'Donnamhain, now O'Donovan and
Donovan, O'Dondubhain in D. Mac
Firbisigh's copy. This was a different
family from O'Donnabhain of Ui-
Cairbre Aebhdha in the now County
of Limerick, and afterwards of Clann-
Chathail in the County Of Cork. Both
families are no doubt still extant in
Corca-Laidhe, but they cannot now be
distinguished. The O'Donovans of
Mountpellier, O'Donovan's Cove, Ard-
ahill,andLiBheens, and Squince, as well

as the Donovans of Ballymore in the
County of Wexford, are of the Ui-
Cairbre Aebhdha ; but there are va
rious poor families of the name in the
County of Cork, who are unquestion
ably of the Corca-Laidhe.

APPENDIX A,

Lughaidh Mal.
He was one of the sons of Daire Sirchreachtach, as appears from
the following story given concerning him and his brothers in the Dinn-
seanchus in the Book of Leacan, fol. 256, a.b. voce Carn Mail.
" Camn Mail in Magh Uladh whence was it named ? It is not difficult
to tell. It was otherwise called Camn Liiighdheach, from Lughaidh
Mal, who was driven from Eire with a fleet of seven ships, and from
Alba he set out for Eire with the great fleet of Alba ; and they gave
battle to the Ulstermen and defeated them. Every man that came
into battle with Lughaidh carried a stone, and thus the carn was
formed, and it was on it Lughaidh was standing* while the battle was
fought. Whence Carn Lughaidh is called.
Delightful what falls to my care.
It is not the knowledge of one place only,
My mind extends its clear view to the east
Over the depths and heights of the world.
Biit since they are enquiring it of you.
If they like difficult knowledge [I will tell]
Whence is the name still here before us.
Of Camn Mail in Magh Uladh.
Lughaidh Mal, who destroyed much.
Was banished out of Eire,
With a fleet of seven ships the king's son sailed
From Eire to the land of Alba.
He fought for the eastern country
In battles, in conflicts.
From Eadain'' to the wide-spreading Lochlann,*'
From the Islands of Ore ''to Spain.
Edinburgh in Scotland. * The islands of Ore, i.e. the Ork-
c Lochlann, i.e. Denmark. ney Islands-to the north of Scotland.

When he obtained the powerful kingdom.
He brought with him a numerous army.
So that the harbours of Uladh were filled
With the barques of the fierce champions.
Battle or tribute was demanded
By Lughaidh of the men of Fail,«
To draw them into battle
Was the object of the future monarch.
After this he came up quickly
To engage in battle very fiercely.
Each man brought a stone into the battle.
And thus Carn Lughaidh was made.
And where Lughaidh Mal [stood] was
On the even white-surfaced cam
Until the great battle was gained.
Over the beauteous men of Eire.
Lughaidh obtained by means of his lance
The sovereignty both of the foreigners and Gaeidhil,
The man by whom the carn was formed.
Which lies in the fair plain of Uladh. . . Delightful.
The comely Daire had seven sons ;
Lughaidh was the name of each :
In hopes the prophecy in them would be fulfilled.
One name was given to them all.
Daire had a magical fawn as a familiar
In the shape of a yearling deer.
His four sons met it
By old Teamhair on the north-east.^

The fawn passed on swiftly.
Until he reached the stream of Sinainn,
And the fawn there was slain
By the four noble and very comely youths.
They cast lots, without sadness.
The sons of Daire of Dun-na-n-eigeas,«
That each of them might know his share.
Of the magical fawn without danger.
To Lughaidh Corb it fell
To slaughter the fawn, though menial the deed.
And from him is named the sept
Of Dal Meascorb in Crich-Cualann.
Whilst each of them was at his share,
Lughaidh Cal was in his sleep.
So that his tribe, without condition.
Is Calraidhe in the regions of Connacht.
Lughaidh gave a drink of water.
Though clear, it was not the water of knowledge,''
So that his race after this
Are the Corca Oirche in the vicinity of Caiseal.
Lughaidh Mor the father of Maccon
Obtained alone all Eire,
So that from Lughaidh Laidhe henceforward
The sept of Corca-Laidhe are named.
As they were in the house.
The men within at the fire,
A hag approached, ugly and bald.
Uncouth and loathsome to behold.
was one of the Helicons of the ancient Bards of Eire.

High she was as any mast.
Larger than a sleeping booth her ear.
Blacker her face than any visage.
Heavy on each heart was the hag.
Larger her front- tooth, who could but see it —
Than a square of a chess-board.
Her nose projected far in front.
Longer than the plough's cold share.
Larger than a basketful of ears of wheat.
Each fist; — in a woman it was unbecoming,—
Larger than a rock in a wall
Each of her rough black knees.
She was one continuous belly.
Without ribs, without separation,
A rugged, hilly, thick, black head
[Was] upon her like a furzy mountain.
She went to them into the strong house
In which the sons of the king of Eire were.
Pitiful the deed, ugly the exhibition.
She made to them to excite them.
She m'addened their sense and reason,
It was leaping into the middle of a conflict,
.,^, The sons of Daire were abandoned
To an ignominious death.
She spoke to them an evil speech,
" One of you shall lie with me to-night.
Or you, both hound and man so straight.
To monster shapes I will transform."
When he saw the wonderful deed,
Lughaidh Laidhe said to them.

I will go with her, though loathsome the condition,
[It is] enough for you that I only am lost.
As the fire darkened.
She passed into another wonderful form.
She assumed a form of wondrous beauty ;
Ruddy were her cheeks, and round her breasts.
Her eyes were thus.
They were not such as to cloud her face.
Three sunbeams in each of them shone.
Whatever she loqked on grew bright.
The purple beautiful covering was removed
From her breasts down, by the old woman,
So that a flesh-worm could be taken out
In the house by the light of her fair skin.
After this the youth asked her,
" O fair damsel, whence earnest thou ?
Tell and inform us here,
Speak to me ; do not conceal it from me."
" I say unto thee, O mild youth.
With me the arch-kings cohabit,
I am the majestic, slender damsel.
The sovereignty of Alba and Eire.
To thee I have revealed myself to-night;
That is all ; but thou shalt not cohabit with me,
Thou shalt have a son, honored in him,
He is the man with whom I shall cohabit.
The name of thy son, the mode is good.
Shall be Lughaidh Mor; he shall be a royal son,
For we have been longing more for him.
He shall be a druid, a prophet, a poet."

The prophecy which Daire mentioned to them,
Regarding Maccon, the comely, wa.s
" Maccon shall obtain the hill of Breagh [Teamhair]
-A.lba and delightful Eire."
Lughaidh Laighdhe and the other sons.
The following account of Lughaidh Laidhe and his brothers is given
in the Coir Anmann, as in the Book of Leacan : —
" Lughaidh Laidhe and the other sons, &c. Let it be here enquired
whence the additional names upon the sons of Daire Doimthigh, i.e.
the five Lughaidhs, and what is the reason that each was called Lugh
aidh ? It is not difficult to tell. It had been prophesied that one of
his sons would assume the sovereignty of Eire, and that Lughaidh
wotdd be his name, wherefore each of the sons was named Lughaidh.
The fair of Tailltin was celebrated by Daire, and his sons performed
their horsemanship there ; and the Druid said, what good are thy sons,
only one of them shall assume the monarchy of Eire. Daire said to
the Druid : ' What son shall assume the sovereignty after me ?' A
fawn with the bright color of gold shall arrive at tha fair, said the
Druid, and the son who shall overtake the fawn is he who shall assume
the sovereignty of Eire after thee. And the golden fawn arrived after
wards at the fair, and the men of Eire went in pursuit of it, and the
sons of Daire followed it from thence to Beann Eadair, and a magical
mist [here] arose between them and the men of Eire. The sons of
Daire pursued it from thence to Dal-Meascorb, in Leinster, and
Lughaid Laidhe, i.e. Maicniadh, overtook the fawn, and [another]
Lughaidh had the flaying of the fawn, and hence is (called) Lughaidh
Cose. And a great snow afterwards fell, so that it was [great] work
for them to carry or hold their arms. And one of them went in search
of a house, and he found a large house with a great fire therein, and food
and drink in abundance, and dishes of silver and beds of Findruine
[German silver] ; and there was a large hideous hag in the house. ' O
young man, what dost thou seek ?' said she. ' A bed till morning,' [re
plied the youth. J And she said, ' if thou wilt come into my bed or couch
to-night, thou shalt obtain it.' And the youth said that he would not,
and he went out to his brothers. ' Thou hast refused sovereignty and
monarchy,' said she. ' The other brothers went in after him. She

asked of another man of them why he had come, and he said for a
wild hog, and I have eaten it alone.' ' Lughaidh Orca shall be thy
name among thy tribe,' said she. She asked the same of another
man. ' Nothing,' said he, ' fell to my Ibt, but I fell asleep.' ' That
was sleepy,' said she, ' and Lughaidh Cal shall be thy name among
thy tribe,' said she. She asked the same of another man. ' A wild
fawn presented itself to me,' said he. ' Lughaidh Laidhe shall be thy
name among thy tribe, and thus it is.' Another man came to her and
she asked him the same. ' What they have left I have eaten,' says
he. ' Lughaidh Corb shall be thy name,' said she, ' for corrupt is the
thing thou hast taken.' Lughaidh Laidhe was the last who went into
the house, and the hag said the same to him. ' I met an ox,' said he,
and I devoured it alone.' ' Lughaidh Laidhe shall be thy name,' said
she, ' among thy tribe.' Wherefore these names clung to them. At
length Lughaidh- Laidhe [Maicniadh] went with her into the house for
food and drink. After this the hag lay down in the bed of findruine,
and Maicniadh lay down after her in the bed, and it appeared to him
that the light of her countenance was as the sun rising in the month of
May, and the fragrance of her was as the smell of a flower garden.
After this he cohabited with her, and she said, ' Good is thy journey,'
said she, ' for I am the sovereignty, and thou shalt obtain Eire or one
descended of thee shall.' They afterwards took new viands and old
drinks, and cups were distributed to them alone, and he cohabited
with the sovereignty. And in the morning they were without house or
fire except the level mountain side, and their hounds were tied to their
lances. After this they retumed to the fair of Tailltin, and related the
story of their adventures, and the men of Eire dispersed from the fair :
whence it is said, the five Lughaidhs."'

APPENDIX C,

The Family of Dun-Cairbee.
(From, the Irish Penny Journal, pp. 241-42, 30/A January, 1841.^
The Castle of Dun-garbry, or properly Dun-Cairbre, signifying the
Dun or Fort of Cairbre, is situate on a hill, on the south side, and
not far from the mouth, of the Drowis, or Drobhaeis — a river very
celebrated in Irish hislory — and the estuary of the beautiful Loch
Melghe, (Melvin,) in the lower part of the county of Leitrim, border
ing on the county of Sligo. Though marked on the maps made in the
reign of Elizabeth as an important fortress, its ruins are now but incon
siderable, and consist only of a side wall perforated by an arched door
way. But, trivial as these vestiges are, they impart some historic in
terest to scenery of the most delightful character by which it is surround
ed, and are valuable as a memorial of an ancient Irish family, once
of great rank in the county, though now reduced to utter decay, at
• least in their original locality.
Dun-Cairbre Castle was erected by the chief of the Mac-Clanchys,
or correctly Mac Fhlannchadha, a sejjt or clan who possessed the
ancient district called Dartraidhe, the present barony of Rossclogher,
and of which the Castle of Rossclogher, situate on an island in Loch
Melghe, was their chief residence. The name of its founder and the
date of its erection are not preserved ; but the latter may with pro
bability be referred to a period anterior to the reign of Henry VIIL,
as the Annals of the Four Masters record, at the year 1-538, the death
of a chieftain of Dun-Cairbre.
It may be proper to state that there are in Ireland two perfectly dis
tinct families of the name Mac Fhlannchadha, or, as it is now more
usually written, Clancy ; first, the family of Thomond or Clare, some
of whom were hereditary Brehons or judges to the O'Briaiifs, and who
were a branch of the Mac Coninaras (Mac-na-maras ;) and, secondly,
the family of Dartraidhe, who were hereditary chiefs of that district
from a very remote period.

doped ld}'6e. 83
The notices of the chiefs of this family, as preserved in the Irish
Annals from the twelfth till the seventeenth century, will serve to con
vey a very vivid impression of the insecurity of life resulting from the
unsettled state of society, and its retrogression towards absolute bar
barism during this unhappy period of our history, and will teach, us
also to appreciate the blessings we derive from the progress which civi
lization has made within the last century.
1241. Domhnall Mag Fhlannchadha, chief of Dartraighe, died.
1274. Cathal Mag Fhlannchaidh, chief of Dartraighe, died.
1278. Ruaidhre, son of Toirrdhealbhach O'Concobhair, was slain by
Gilla-Crisd Mag Fhlannchaidh and the inhabitants of Dartraighe, on
the borders of Drum-Cliabh.
1301. William Mag Fhlannchaidh, chief of Dartraighe, was slain
by Ualgharg, the son of Domhnall, son of Art O'Ruairc.
1303. Among these (the slain) was Muirceartach Mag Fhlannchaidh,
chief of Dartraighe.
1337. Tadhg Mac Fhlannchadha, lord of Dart-raighe, was slain by
Corbmac, the son of Ruaidhre, son of Domhnall, O'Concobhair, as
were also numbers of others, in revenge of Seaan, the son of Domh
nall. Great depredations were afterwards committed in Dartraighe by
O'Concobhair, and the son of Muiris Mag Fhlannchaidh was killed
while in pursuit of the prey.
1349. Aedh O'Ruairc defeated Flaithbheartach O'Ruairc, Donn
chadh O'Domhnaill, and the people of Dartraighe. Aedh Mag Fhlann
chaidh, chief of Dart-raighe, Gilla-Crist Mag Fhlannchadha, Loch
lann, son of Aindilis O'Baeighill, and many others, were slain in the
engagement. 1366. The O'Ruaircs went on a migratory excursion, accompanied
by the people of Fear-manach ; but the youths of Clann Muirchear
tach attacked and surrounded them, and killed Cathal Mag Fhlann
chaidh, chief of Dart-raighe.
1418. Tadhg, i.e. Mag Fhlannchadha, the son of Cathal, the son
of Tadhg, chief of Dart-raighe, died, having retired into a monastery,
a fortnight previously ; and his son Cathal assumed his place.
1420, Cathal, son of Tadhg Mag Fhlannchadha, chief of Dart
raighe, was slain in his own house, together with Aedh Buidhe Mag

84 '^e)r)edldc.
Fhlannchadha, about the festival of Brighid ; by their own kinsmen,
the brothers Tadhg, Muiris, and Enri.
1421. A nocturnal attack was made by Cathal O'Ruairc and his
sons upon Mag Fhlannchaidh, on Inis Caein [an island] in Loch
Melghe [Melvin] ; and the guards of the lake, namely, the Mag
Gollaighs [Mac Galloglai] delivered up the boats of the lake to
Cathal and his .sons. And Mag Fhlannchaidh Og was taken prisoner
by them ; and they took possession of Loch Melghe and its castle.
Five of the sons of Mag Fhlannchaidh, and a great nuinber of the
men of Dart-raighe were slain by them, after which [the rest of] the
sons of Mag Fhlannchaidh went to Cairbre.
1632. Toirrdhealbhach, the son of Mag Fhlannchaidh, was killed by
his own two brothers, on the threshold of Mag Fhlannchaidh's man
sion; and Brian O'Ruairc destroyed much in Dart-raighe, on account
[i.e. in revenge] of this killing.
1636. Mag P'hlannchaidh, chief of Dart-raighe, i.e. Fearadhach, the
son of William, died. He was a charitable and humane man.
1638. The son of Mag Fhlannchaidh, Cathaeir, the son of Fear-
adach, the son of William, heir of the chieftainship of Dart-raighe,
died at Diin-Cairbre.
1678. Mag Fhlannchaidh of Dart-raighe died : that is, Cathal
Dubh, the son of Fearadhach, and his son, Cathal Og, assumed his
place. 1582. Mag Fhlannchaidh of Dart-raighe (i.e. Cathal Og) was slain
by his own kinsjnan, Tadhg Og.
It appears from an inquisition taken at the Abbey of Creevelea, on
the 24ih September, 1603, that Cathal Og Mac Clanchy died on the
3rd of January, 1682, seised of the castle and manor of Dun-cairbre,
and of the whole country called Mac Clanchy's country, leaving a son
and heir, Cathal Dubh, then aged twenty-eight years.
It a]5pears, however, that, in accordance with the Brehon law, the
chieftain.ship of Dartraidhe passed at his death not to his sou, but to the
eldest surviving representative of the name, as an inquisition, taken at
Rossclogher on the 3d of October in the same year, finds that the
greater part of the coimtry, including the castle of Dun-cairbre, and
the castle and chief town of Rossclogher, &c. were in. the possession.

doped lxt)6e. 85
of MalaghlinMac Clanchy, who died so seised on the 13th of August,
1603, leaving a son and heir, Cahir Mac Clanchy, three years and
ten months old at the time of his father's death ; and it is stated that
all these castles, lands, &c. were held of the king by knight's service
in capite, but the quantity of the service was not ascertained by the
inquisitors. By the will of this Malaghlin Mac Clanchy he bequeathed
to his son and heir, Cahir, all his lands except such as were nominated
wife's jointure; and to his wife, Katherine Ny Rourke, who was found
to have been his legitimate consort, he bequeathed his Castle of Dun-
garbry, as also his chief town called Rossclogher, in pawn of her
marriage goods, until his heir should redeem it.
The property of the Mac Clanchys was confiscated after the re
bellion of 1641, but their name is the prevailing one in the barony of
Dartraidhe, or Rossclogher, to the present day.

APPENDIX D.

Pedigree of O'h-Eidirsceoil or O'Driscoll.
It is a very extraordinary fact that the pedigree of O'Driscoll, as
given by all the Irish Genealogical Manuscripts now accessible, is less
correct than any other line. It is in fact more than forty generations
short from Lughaidh, son of Ith, down to Lughaidh Maccon, mo
narch of Ireland in the third century, but from that period forward it
is as correct as any of the lines deduced from Oilill Olum. This fact,
which has not been acknowledged by any of our critics or genealogists,
may help to fix the real period at which the Spanish colony of the
Clann-Breogain settled in Ireland, but this is not the place to discuss
such a question.
Maccon, the last O'Driscoll given in the Book of Leacan, died, ac
cording to the Annals of the Four Masters, in the year 1418, and was
therefore the reigning chief of Corca-Laidhe, when the Book of
Leacan was compiled. The line has been continued till the beginning
of the seventeenth century, by Keating, the Four Masters, Dubh-
altach Mac Firbisigh, and in a manuscript in the British Museum,

APPENDIX E.

Corca Laidhe.

(The Society have been favored with the following note by the Rev.
John Quarry, Rector of Clonakilty.)
Corca Laidhe, the territory of the O'Driscolls, is described in the
Books of Leacan and Ballymote as comprising originally the entire of
the Diocese of Ross, and as extending from Beann-Fhinn to the Strand
of Traigh-Omna, and thence westward to Frith-na-h-Imghona, and
from a Ford called Beal-atha-buidhe to the Strand called Traigh Claen
where there is a great rock. Where Beann-Fhinn is situate I have
been unable to ascertain ; at least no place is now known by this name.
But immediately over the present Church of Castleventry, nearly in
the centre of the entire district described, there is a lofty hill called
Knockfeen, I suppose properly Cnoc-Finn. The summit of this,
which is a prominent point, might be intended by the name Beann-
Fhinn, from whence the extent is measured in a south-westerly direction
to Traigh-Omna, which is the present name of a Strand at the extreme
south-west of the Parish of Castlehaven. Westward from this is an
inlet called Lough Hina, which I have no doubt is a corruption of the
ancient name as it appears in Frith-na-h-Imghona. This designation
is very applicable to the district along the sea beyond Lough Hina,
which is still unreclaimed as may be seen by the Ordnance Map. The
place which I suppose to be Frith-na-h-Imghona is known by the name
of Glanawhine, probablya corruption of another compound containing
the same name. The Ford called Beal-atha-buidhe is on the Bandon
river, and' is still known by the same name. It is noted for a great
fair, and is a central point on the north of the entire district. From
thence the extent is measured in a south-easterly direction to the ex
treme eastern boundary of the district, the Broad Strand or Traigh-
Claen, still known by this name, outside Court-mac-Sherry Bay. Ofi"
one extremity of this Strand is a dangerous rock known by the name of
the Horse Rock, the great rock mentioned in the description. These,

88 ^emedXdc
together with the other identified localities, will be found marked on
the accompanying map.
The district thus described is not exactly conterminous with the
Diocese of Ross, which it is said to have comprised; as will be seen by
the dotted line on the map which marks the northern boundary of the
present Diocese, another district of which lies entirely separated from
this beyond Bantry. The name Corca-Laidhe still exists in the cor
rupted form Cothluidhe, which name however is now confined to two
small districts called Cothluidhe-mor and Cothluidhe-beag, situate on
either side of the river Hen near Skibbereen. This name is known
to the country people though not appearing in the maps.
I. A subdivision of this territory is called the country of O'Gilla
michil, and is described as extending from Tuath-na-h-Imghona afore
said to the head of a harbour or inlet called Ceann-mara, and from
Beann-t-Sidhain to Beal-atha-na-Seamann. Ceann-mara is the pre
sent name of the head or inmost part of the harbour of Castlehaven.
Beann-t-Sidhain is the highest cliff on the Southern Coast of the Pa
rish of Castlehaven, as still known by this name. I have not been
able to find any name exactly corresponding to Beal-atha-na-Seamann.
There is a ford over a stream falling into the river Hon north of Skib
bereen, called Ath-na-Seang, which might be a corruption of the name.
But it more probably designates some ford over the Saivenose falling
into the same river. In Smith's History of Cork, written more than
a century back, this stream is called Savenesag. The latter part of
this name as thus written is probably a corruption of uisge, water, and
then the former part might represent Seamann by the Cm) assuming an
aspirate. And this is the more likely to be the stream on which is the
ford in question, as we shall find that the next division also terminates
with a ford over the same stream, which would thus form a natural
boundary to this part of the territory. The Parish of Castlehaven,
called also Gleann-Bearchan, forms a large part of this division. St.
Bearchan is reputed to have been a prophet, one of his predictions,
prior to the invasion of the Danes, having been that the Easterlings
would come. There is a place in this Parish called Killchangil or
Gillahangil, which probably contains a reminiscence of O'Gillamichil,
" the big Vicar.''

dope.d ld)t>e. 89
II. The next division called Tuath O'Coinned or the Garrdha, is
described as extending from Ceann-mara, already identified, to Loch-
an-Bhricin, and from Miross to the ford of Beal-atha-soluis. The
Parish of Miross is still known to the country people by the name of
Garry or the Garden, which is said to have formerly designated a larger
district. Miross itself is situate a little west of the head of the har
bour of Glandore. There is a ford over the Saivenose already men
tioned, still known by the name of Ath-Soluis, and Loch-an-Bhricin
is the present designation of a lake situate a little east of Glandore
harbour. III. The subdivision next to the Garry is called Tuath-Rois, which
is plainly the district of Ross, or Tuath-Indolaigb, of which name a
trace is to be found in the name of a rock in the Bay of Ross, west of
the Gally Head, which is known to the country people by the desig
nation of Carraigin Indolaigh, or in an abbreviated form Doolig.
This district is described as extending from Loch-an-Bhricin already
mentioned to Fidh- Ruis, and from the Strand of Traigh-long to the
hill called Sidh -na-bh-fear-finn. Fidh- Ruis is no doubt the wooded
and wild country immediately west of Ross, as implied by this de
scriptive and still applicable designation. Traigh-long is the present
name of the Strand in a cove into which a stream falls from Loch-an-
Bhricin. The lake is on high ground from which there is a great
descent to a bog immediately inside the strand. This bog is lower
than the sea, and passes under a white shingle for some distance into
the water, which has in consequence the color of turf, and appears
very remarkable when the sea is rough. I have not been able to dis
cover any trace whatever of the name of the hill called Sidh-na-bh-
fear-finn. Iveleary, to which O'Leary is said to have removed, after the English
invasion, from this district of which he was chief, is situate near Ma-
croom ; as also the Castle of Carraig-na-Corra. The first named in the
list of his followers, O' Ruaidhre, probably gave name to the little
river now called Rowry, which runs through this division a little to the
east of Loch-an-Bhricin and Traigh-long.
IV. The next subdivision called Tuath O'n-Aenghusa is said to have
extended from Fearsad-Ruis to the inlet called Goilin-na-Gaithneamh-

90 "^eir^edXde
na, and from Dun-Deide to Beal-atha-na-leice. Fearsad-Ruis, I sup
pose the strandpits of Ross, exactly describes the inlet at the west of
the head of which Ross is situate, being choked at the entrance by
sand, and when the tide is out presenting a muddy .surface filled with
pools of water left by the tide. Goilin-na-Gailhneamhna is the Goleen
or inlet of Gahami, as it is now called, this being the name of the
lands surroiinding a little bay east of the Gaily Head, called Traigh-
Gahaini, and also the Red Strand from a reddish-colored sand, fa
mous all over this country for its fertilizing properties, and therefore
drawn to great distances for manure. Dun-Deide is the peninsula
which forms the Gally Head ; the place where it joins the mainland
was strongly fortified by the Castle of Dundeide, as it is still called.
Close to this are very remarkable caves into which the sea runs, and
boats can penetrate a great distance. One of them has au ojiening
inland, through which in great storms the waves are thrown up. There
is no place in this territory now known by the name of Beal-atha-na-
leice, though there is a place so called near Bantry. A line, however,
drawn from Dundeide to the norlhern part of the territory somewhat
parallel to the lines which mark the extent of the preceding divisions
in the same direction, reaches a Lake called Curraghalicky. A stream
runs into this from the west, and proceeds from it in a north-easterly
direction to the Bandon River. Dropping the former part of this
name, Curragh, which I suppose is descriptive of the Lake, a ford
over the stream would probably be called Beal-atha-na-leice. And as
we shall have reason to think that the stream passing north eastward
from the Lake is the boundary of the next division, Beal-atha-na-leice .
was probably over the stream at the west, perhaps where Curraghalicky-
bridge is now situate.
V. The next division called Tuath O'Fithcheallaigh or O'Feehily's
country is said to have extended from Goilin-na-Gaithneamhna already
ascertained, to the Island of Inis-duine, and from Dun-Eoghain to
Glaise-Droighneach. Inis-duine, or Inchydoney, is an Island in
Clonakilty Bay, which constitutes a Prebend in Ross Cathedral. The
point of it which projects farthest into the sea is called "the Virgin
Mary's Point," and on its summit are the impressions of a pair of
knees supposed to have been made by the blessed ^^irgin herself.

dopc^ ldii)e. 91
However they were first made, there is no miracle in their preserva
tion, as the people are in the habit of resorting to the spot and kneel
ing on them whilst oflTering a prayer. Dunowen is the name of a
townland on the southern coast east of the Red Strand already identified
with Goilin-na-Gaithneamhna. The remains of a castle, from which
it takes the first part of the name, still exist. A line from Dunowen,
parallel to those which measure the extent of the preceding divisions
in a north-westerly direction, will reach the stream which runs from
the eastern extremity of Curraghalickey Lake to the Bandon River.
This stream bounds the lands of Drinagh in the Parish of Drinagh.
We may safely assume that this name was originally spelled Droigh-
ueach, and that therefore the stream was called in the description of
the territory Glaise-Droighneach.
The Parish of Ardfield on the southern coast of this division, taking
the first part of the name from the great elevation of the ground on
which the Church is built, which rises from the sea in very lofty and
precipitous cliffs, contains in the latter part, no doubt, a corruption of
the name of O'Fithcheallaigh, the chief of the distiict. Another
remnant of the same is perhaps to be found in the name of the lillie
stream which runs in a south-easterly direction to the town of Clon
akilty, and was probably the boundary between this and the next sub
division. The name of this stream as given on the Ordnance Map is
Fealge, but this spelling is of course arbitrary, and the name is com
monly pronounced Feely or Feehily, and seems to be a corruption of
Fithcheallaigh. VI. The next subdivision is called Tuath-na-Donn-ghalaigh, and
extends from Inis-duine, already mentioned, to Beal-atha-na-h-Uidhre,
and from Greallach-na-g-Cruime lo Achadha. Beal-atha-na-h-Uidhre
is a ford over the River Airgidin, (silver stream, in sound and sense
like Homer's a^yu^odivm,) about five miles westward from Clonakilty.
It is known by this name as a place where two priests were murdered,
in consequence of some matrimonial affair, and whose bodies were
found in the river adjacent to the ford. Greallach-na-g-Cruime is
now known only in the former part of the name. There are two places
called Greallach or Grillach, either of which may have been intended.
One is a townland on the Bandon River a little east of Ballybuy

92 ^ejne^Uc
already mentioned. This would cany the present division up to the
northern boundary of the whole territory to which it probably extended.
The other is on the River Airgidin, about a mile and half north of
Clonakilty, and would serve as a point from which to measure the ex
tent in an easterly direction, as the line from Inis-duine to Beal-
atha-na -h-Uidhre does in a westerly. Achadha is the present name of
a townland a short space inland from the Broad Strand or Traigh-
claen, which has been already mentioned as the eastern limit of the
territory as it is also of this division,
Amongst the followers of O'Domhnaill, the chief of this division, is
mentioned O'h-Aedha of Cluain-da-Mhael. About a mile west from
Clonakilty is the site of an ancient castle which stood upon a bold rock
over a ford; The Castle belonged to the O'Heas, and the place is
now called Aghamilla. The former part of this name being derived
from the ford (ath), the latter might present some trace of the word
which forms the latter part of Cluain-da-Mhael. This Caslle was bat
tered by Cromwell's forces, and only a small remnant of the foundation
is now perceptible. A farmer, whose family has been long settled in
the immedjate vicinity, possesses a cannon ball found by one of his
ancestors in the dyke of the roadside. The tradition is that the people
were assembled to dance on a Sunday evening, when the battering
commenced from a hill on the other side of the Castle, and that it fell
almost immediately, being extremely ancient. O'Sealbhaigh is also
mentioned, and this name is perhaps still retained in the small parish
and the lands of Kilsallagh near Courtmacsherry within this division.
VII. The last division of the territory is called Tuath-Ui-Duibh-da-
leith, and is said to have extended from Beal-atha-na-h-Uidhre to
Beal-atha-buidhe, both already mentioned, and from Gortnadiha to
Loch-an-Tairbh. Gortnadiha is a denomination of land very near Kil
meen Church, and Loch-an-Tairb or Lough -atariff, as it is commonly
called in English, is a Lake in the western border of the Parish of
Kilmeen. .1. Q.

On the 4th of September, 1368, the Poers of the County of Water
ford, having gathered all their forces, and being joined by O'Hedriscol
of the County of Cork, and his gallies and men, sailed towards Wa
terford with an intention to plunder the city, which the Poers bore a
great enmity to, on account of their fidelity and good government.
John Malpas then Mayor, being informed of their designs, prepared
to resist them, and accompanied by Walter Devenish, Sheriff of the
County, Richard Walsh, Master of St. John of Jerusalem, with a
number of merchant strangers and English, set himself at their head,
and sailed towards the enemy. But the event did not answer these
preparations. For the Poers with the aid of the western gallies of the
O'Hedriscols set upon the city forces, and routed them. In this
battle the Mayor, with the Sheriff of the County, the Master of the
Hospital, thirty-six of the most worthy Citizens, as also sixty mer
chant strangers and English were slain. On the other side, the head
of the Poers called Baron of Don-lsle, his brother Bennet Poer, with
many of that sept, and numbers of the O'Hedriscols fell. The day
following the Mayor was brought to the city, all hewen and cut to
pieces, and was buried in Christ Church, and Richard Brasbome was
immediately elected Mayor in his room. — M.S. Clogher, in College
Library. Natural and Civil History of Waterford, 1746, by
Charles Smith, pp. 125, 126.
In the year 1413, Simon Wickin, Mayor of Waterford, Roger Walsh
and Thomas Sault, Bailiffs, surprised and took prisoners, O'Hedriscol,
his family, and the rest of his followers in his strong castle of Balti
more in the County of Cork. They took wilh them a strong band of
men in armour, on board a ship belonging to the city, and arrived at
the castle on Christmas day at night. The Mayor landed his men and
marched up to the gate, and called to the porter, desiring him to tell
his lord, that the Mayor of Waterford was come to the Haven with a
ship of wine, and would gladly come in to see him ; upon this message
the gate was set open, and the whole family made prisoners  MS.

In the year 1450, Stat. 28, Hen. 6. No. 10. As divers of the
King's subjects have been taken and slain by Finin O'Hedrischol,
cheiftane of his nation, an Irish enemy, enacted, that no person of
the ports of Wexford, Waterford, &c. shall fish at Korkly Baltimore,
nor go within the country of the said O'Hedrischol wilh victuals, arms,
&c. and that proclamation be made of this by Writs in the parts afore
said, under the penally of the forfeiture of their goods, and ships to
those who shall take them, and their persons to the King ; -and the
town who receives the said O'Hedrischol or any of his men shall pay
i£40 to the King. — Ibid. p. 129. See the Statute itself post, p. 98.
On the third of June, 1461, the Mayor and citizens of Waterford
being informed of the arrival of O'Hedrischol at Tramore, invited
there by the lowers, (who always continued their rancour to the city)
prepared themselves in warlike manner, and set forwards towards Bal-
lymacdane, where they met the O'Hedrischols and Powers, gave them
battle and gained a compleat victory, 160 of the enemy being slain,
and some taken prisoners, among whom were O'Hedrischol Oge and
six of his sons, who with three of their Gallies were brought to Wa
terford.— /ftjrf. p. 129.
On the 20lh of February, 1637, four Portugal ships laden with
Spanish wines, consigned to the merchants of Waterford, were driven
by tempest to Cape Clear, Baltimore, and the old head of Kinsale.
One of the ships called la Santa Maria de Soci, laden with 100 tun
of wine, was driven inlo a bay adjoining to the entrance of the haven
of Baltimore. Finen O'Hederischol Chieftane ofthe Island, Conogher
his son, and Gilly Duffe his base son, came on board and covenanted
with the Merchants for three pipes of wine, to conduct the ships safe
inlo the haven. When the Gentry and Peers of those parts had lasted
the wines, they forgot their safe conduct and invited the Merchants to
dinner in the castle, seized and clapped them in irons, manned their
Irish gallies and look the ship, and distributed 72 tuns of the wine
among their neighbours.
On the 3rd of March news arrived of this action at Waterford.
Immediately 24 men of the city with Pierce Dobbyn for their Cap
tain, sailed in a Pichard, called the Sunday of Waterford, well armed,
and the day following at noon arrived suddenly at the ship, and as

doped Idj'oe. 95
they boarded her on one side, Gilly Duff and twenty-four of his men
fled out at the other. When the ship was won Pierce Dobbyn manned
her, and set the prisoners at large, there remained of the wine twenty-
five tuns and more, and taking a view of the castle they fired several
guns at the great hall, and then sailed to Waterford.
On the 27th of the same month, the Mayor fitted out a little fleet
consisting of the ship lately retaken, another large vessel, and the
great galley of the city, well appointed wilh artillery, victuals, and
men to the number of four hundred, and put them under the command
of Bailiff Woodlock, as chief Captain, Pierce Dobbyn, James Walsh,
James Sherlock, Henry Walsh and John Butler under Captains. On
Wednesday the first of April at night they sailed, and arrived within
the haven of Baltimore, and anchored towards the caslle, which was
guarded with men and artillery. They fired at it all night, and at the
break of day the ward fled, and the Waterford men landed in good
order in the island, and besieged the strong fortress there, the mariners
entered the castle by the small port, and put up St. George's standard,
and the army all entered at the Bridge-gate, and kept it five days,
which they spent in destroying all the villages of the Island; and also
the house of the Friers Minors near the caslle, and the mill of the
same. The fortress being double warded by two strong piles or castles,
wilh walls, and barbicans, the halls, offices, &c. were totally ruined to
the ground, and were tumbled into the sea. There was found in the
island great store of malt, barley and salt. There was taken here
Finen's cheif galley of thirty oars, and above three or four score
pinances, of which about fifty were burned, and the great galley
carried to Waterford. Near to Inishircan was an island called Inchi-
pite, where Finen had his most pleasant seat in a castle, adjoining to
a hall, with an orchard and grove, all which they destroyed and razed
to the earth, and from thence they entered into another island, and
burnt all the villages of the same. Then landing in the main they
burnt and destroyed Baltimore, and broke down Teig O'Hederischol's
goodly caslle, and bawn.
On Tuesday in passion-week one William Grant was on the top of
one of the castles, which being all on fire under him, he stood upon
one of the pinnacles and cried out for help ; Butler tied a small cord

96 '^e]r)ed\dc
to an arrow and shot it up to Grant, at which he drew up an hawser
fastened to the cord, and fixing the hawser to the pinacle, slided, down,
and was received by his fellows on beds. After this, on Good Friday,
the army arrived safe at Waterford. — MS. Clogher, in ColL Library.

to sell unto the Lord, and to let him have the refusing of the same at
the price another will give, but then he is to have nothing abated of
the price, nor any thing if they sell to any other man after his refusal.

REMAEKS ON THE PEECEDING TEACT.

Two ancient vellum copies of this work are in existence, one in
Leabhar Leacain, (the Book of " Lecan,") which was compiled from
various other MSS. by Gilla Isa Mor Mac Firbisigh of Leacan, in the
county of Sligo, in the year 1418. This copy begins at folio 119, b, b,
and ends with folio 122, b, b. The other copy is preserved in Leabhar
Bhaile an Mhuta, (the Book of " Ballymote,") which was compiled by
various persons, but chiefly by Solamh O'Droma, from older MSS.
about the year 1390, for Tomaltach Mac Donnchadha (Mae Donough)
then chief of the tenitories of Tir Oililla, Corann, Airteach, Tir
Thuathail, and Clann Fearmaighe, extending into the counties of Sligo,
Roscommon, and Leitrim. This copy begins at folio 109, b, b, and
ends at 112, b.
There is also a copy of it which was transcribed on paper by Dubh-
altaeh Mac Firbisigh in the year 1660, in the Library of Lord Roden,
and a second paper copy made from the latter, by Mr. E. Curry, in
the Library of the Royal Irish Academy.
Corca-Laidhe, the original country of the Dairinne, or O'Driscolls and
their correlatives, was originally co-extensive' with the diocese of Ross*,
or Ros-ailithre of which St. Fachtna of this race, who flourished in the
sixth century, was the first bishop. But on the encrease ofthe power and
population of the Deirgthine or race of Oilill Olum, the original tenitory
of the Dairinne was much circumscribed. Long before the English In
vasion the Ui-Eathach-Mumhan, or O'Mahonys, wrested from them that
portion of their territory called Fonn-Iartharach i.e. Wesiland, otherwise
a Co-extensive with the diocese of (Annadown) was co-extensive with
Ross. In several instances the ancient lar-Connacht, the seigniory of the
Irish dioceses were co-extensive with O'Flahertys. (See O'Flaherty's Char-
same great tribe land. Thus, the ographical Description of lar-Cou-
bishoprick of Cill Mhic Duach (KU- naught, p. I,) and the bishoprick of
macduagh) was co-extensive with the Cill-Finnahhrach(Killfenora) embraced
territory of the Ui-Fiachrach-Aidhne, the country of the Corca-Modhruaidh,
and the bishoprick of Eanach Duin in North Munster.

142 REMARKS ON THE PEECEDING TEACT.
Ivahagh, comprising the parishes of Kilmoe, Scoole, Kilcrohane, Durris,
Kilmaeonoge and Caheragh, in the barony of West Carbery ; and
after the English Invasion various encroachments were made upon their
lands by the English, and by families of the race of OUiU Olum, then
recently driven from their original locations by the English invaders.
The Banys encroached on the Eastern side of their principality ; the
O'SuUivans (Ui Suileabhain); who had been originally seated at Cnoc
Raffonn and Cluain-meala, (Clonmel,) in the now county of Tipperary,
were driven from thence in the year 1192, when they settled in the
mountains of the now counties of Cork and Keny, and finally wrested
from the Dairinne or Corca-Lajdhe, that portion of their tenitory now
comprised in the baronies of Beare and Bantry. About the same
period the Cairbre Aebhdha, or O'Donovans, O'CoUins, &c. who had
been seated in the barony of Cois Maighe, (Coshraa,) and in the plain
on the west side of the river Maigb, (Maigue,) in the now county of
Limerick, were driven from thence by the Fitzgeralds, and they settled
in the present county of Cork, and wrested from the Corca-Laidhe, a
considerable portion of the norlhern part of their territory. This latter
sept transferred their tribe name of Cairbre from the banks of the
Maigb to the south of the Bandon, where it is still retained, applied
to an extensive territory, now the four baronies of Carbery. The
Corca-Laidhe, though circuinscribed, were, however, independent of
their new invaders, until the year 1232, when Cormac Gott, the third
son of Mac Carlhaigh Mor, acquired dominion over the entire region,
now forming the four baronies of Carbery. This event is briefly noticed
in the old copy of the Annals of Innisfallen, preserved in the Bodleian
Library, as follows :

"A.D. 1232. Domhnall God'' Mac Carlhaigh was taken prisoner
by his own brother Cormac Mac Carlhaigh, but he was set at liberty
by him at the end of a quarter; and immediately after this Domhnall
went at the instance of Maghnus O'Cobhthaigh and the daughter of
O'Muircheartaigh (O'Moriarty) to commit an unneighbourly act
against Muircheartach O'Mathghamhna, (O'Mahony,) a thing which
he did, for he slew the three sons of O'Mathghamhna, and plundered
himself; and, in consequence of this, Domhnall Cairbreach and his
race remained in the south from that forth.''
The surrounding tribes still continued to encroach upon the Corca-

That the ancient Irish should have been careful to preserve their
genealogies need not be a matter of surprise, and that these are perfectly
authentic may be expected as they were entered in the local books of pe
digrees, and preserved in the poems of family or hereditary poets. Those
of the lowest rank among a great tribe, traced and retained the whole
line of their descent with the same care, which in other nations was
peculiar to the rich and great ; for it was from his own genealogy each
man of the tribe, poor as well as rich, held the charier of his civil state,
his right of property in the cantred in which he was bom, the soU of
which was occupied by one family or clan, and in which no one lawfully
possessed auy portion of the soil if he was not of the same race with
the chief.
This was also the case with the Welsh, as we are informed by
Giraldus, in the first chapter of his Cambrice Descriptio, and again,
more particularly in the seventeenth chapter, where he writes as foUows :
" Generositatem vero et generis nobilitatem prae rebus omnibus
magis appetunt. Undo et generosa conjugia plus longe cupiunt quam
sumptuosa vel opima. Genealogiam quoque generis sui etiam de
populo quilibet observat, et non solum avos, atavos sed usque ad
sextam vel septimam el ultra procul generationem memoriter et
promple genus enarrat in hunc modum, Resus filius Gruffini, filii
Resi, filii Theodori, filii Mnetn, filii Oeni, filii Hoeli, filii CadelU,
filii Roderici Magni, et sic deinceps.
" Genus itaque super omnia diligunt, et damna sanguinis atque
dedecoris ulciscuntur. Vindicis enim animi sunt et irse cruentae,
nee solum novas et recentes verum etiam veteres et antiquas velut
instantes vindicare parati."

EEMAEKS ON THE PEECEDING POEM.

The preceding poem is now translated and printed for the first time. '
The text has been obtained from four copies, the only MSS of it known
to the Editor, which are preserved the one in a parchment MS. the
property of John Nugent, Esq. of Farranconnell, County of Cavan,
and the others in paper MSS. the property respectively of the late
O'Conor Don, the Royal Irish .Academy, and Mr. Eugene Curry, all
copied by very good scribes.
The poem itself, as stated in all the MSS., was composed by Gilla
Bhrighde Mac Conmidhe (or Gilbride Mac Namee) who was chief
poet of Ulster in his time, and the friend and follower of Brian O'NeiU,
King of the Irish of the North, and Righdhamhna or heir presumptive
to the throne of Ireland. The family of Mac Conmidhe, of which this
GiUa-Bhrighde was the head, were hereditary poets to the northern
Ui-Neill, and are still very numerous in Ulster. Maelseachlainn Mac
Conmidhe (Loughlin Mac Namee) of Draperstown Cross in the County
of Derry, was believed to be the head of this family in 1835, when he
told the Editor several anecdotes of his ancestors.
Moryson states that the family of O'Neill lived in obscurity till the
lime of Bruce, 1318, bul this is not exactly correct as will appear from
the history of the hero of this poem.
Brian O'Neill, the hero of this poem, became King of the Cineal
Eoghain, in the year 1241, after having defeated and slain his predeces
sor, Domhnall Mac Lochlainn, prince of Tir-Eoghain, in the battle of
Caimeirge. From this period to the year 1248, the Annals are silent
about his exploits, although it would appear from this poem that he was
not idle. In 1248, he made an expedition into Fermanagh, can-ying
light currachs from Loch Feabhail (Lough Foyle) across the plain of
Magh-Ithe and Tearmann Daibheog, and launched them on Loch
Eirne, the islands of which he plundered, and demolished a stone castle
which had evidently been erected by the English. In 1252, however,
he and his bi-other submitted and gave hostages to Maurice Fitzgerald,

KEMAKKS ON THE PRECEDING POEM. 175
lord Justice of Ireland, who had marched with a numerous force to
Cluain- Fiachna (Clonfeacle). In the same year O'Domhnaill ( Gofraigh
or Godfrey) made a preying excursion into Tir-Eoghain [Tyrone] and
seized many cows and prisoners, but O'Neill (Brian) pursued and came
up with him near the boundary of Tir-Conaill where a conflict ensued
between the two fierce Races of Eoghan and Conall, in which the former
were defeated with the loss of many men and prisoners of distinction.
This aggression on the part of O'Domhnaill created a dissention between
the two Races, which very much weakened the power of the Irish of
Ulster. In the year 1267 O'Domhnaill came to a pitched battle
with Maurice Fitzgerald, the lord Justice at Creadran-cille in Ros-Cede
near Sligo, in which he gained, the victory after a desperate conflict,
and after havingengaged the lord Justice in single combat, in which
both were severely wounded ; and he followed up his success by driving
the Geraldines and all the English from his borders, and demolished a
castle which they had erected at C'ael-Uisce near Belleek, on Loch
Eirne, for securing their conquests in that country. After this brilliant
success O'Domhnaill lived but one year during which he was lying on
his bed (in an island in Loch Beitheach) sufi'ering from the severe
wounds which he had received in the battle of Creadran-cille.
When O'Neill received intelligence of his feeble condition, he
coUected his forces to invade Tir-Conaill, and sent messengers to
O'Domhnaill to demand submission and hostages from the Cineal-
Conaill, as now they had no chief capable of leading them to battle.
The messengers, on delivering their embassy to O'Domhnaill, and re
ceiving an answer that O'Domhnaill's people would not submit to
O'Neill, returned to O'NeiU with all possible speed.
O'Domhnaill now ordered the Race of Conall to assemble from all
quarters and come to him ; and after they had assembled at his sum
mons, he ordered them to construct for him the bier in which his body
should be finally carried to the grave, and to carry him in it in the
midst of his people. This was accordingly done ; and he exhorted his
people to exert their bravery, and keep up their spirits, for that he
himself, though feeble from his wounds, would once more lead them
to victory. The Cineal Conaill then proceeded on their march against
O'Neill's forces and met them near the mouth of the river Suileach

176 KEMARKS ON TIIE PRECEDING POEM.
[the Swilly.] Here a fierce battle was fought between the kindred
races, in which the Race of Eoghan were defeated and driven back,
leaving behind them many men, horses, and much valuable property.
The Cineal ConaiU then set out for home, but on their arrival at the'
viUage of Congbhail [Conwal] in Gleann SuUlighe, O'Domhnaill
became very sick, and ordered the bier in which he was carried to be
laid down on. the street, and here he died the death of a hero, the
wounds which he had received in his combat with Maurice Fitzgerald
in the battle of Creadran-cille having bled afresh in this battle.
When O'Neill heard of the death of O'Domhnaill he again sent
messengers to the Cineal Conaill to demand submission and hostages.
Thereupon the Cineal Conaill, held a council, to deliberate on what
they should do, and whom they would elect as their chief. While
they were deliberating on these subjects, Domhnall Og, the son of
Domhnall Mor, presented himself at the meeting, having just arrived
from Scotland where he was fostered. This noble youth, who was the
son of Domhnall by the daughter of Cathal Croibh-dhearg O'Con
chobhair (Charles the Redhanded O'Conor,) kingof Connacht, was then
in his eighteenth year, and was inaugurated at Cill Mic Neanain [Kil-
macrenan] by O'Firghil, the Comharba of that Church and the sub-
chiefs of Tir-Conaill. He conferred with O'Neill's emissaries in the
Gaelic of Alba, and pronounced the demands of O'NeUl as extra
vagant and exorbitant, and said in Erse " that every man should have
his own world."
O'Neill's ambition, however, was not lessened by this answer, for
he made every effort to become not only sovereign of Ulster but even
monarch of Ireland. In the same year he marched with his forces to
Cael-Uisce on the borders of Tir-Conaill, where he held a conference
with Hugh son of Felim O'Conor, king of Connacht, and Tadhg
O'Briain, king of Thomond, and here, according to the Annals of
Ulster an^ Clonmacnoise, the sovereignty of the Irish of Ireland was
conferred on Brian 0"NeUl, and Hugh O'Conor delivered him hos
tages, and he received also the hostages of the O'Reillys, and of all
the Ui-Briuin from Kells to Drumcliff. But a somewhat different
account of this conference is given in the Caithreim Thoirdhealbhaigh, '
or Wars of Toirdhealbhach O'Briain, and in the Dublin copy of tlie

REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING POEM. 177
Annals of Innisfallen, in which it is incorrectly entered under the year
1262. It is stated in these works, that a general convention of the
princes and nobility of Ireland assembled at Cael-uisge on the brink
of Loch Eirne, in order to elect a supreme king over the Irish, to
suppress the tyranny and usurpation of the English. Tadhg, son of
Conchobhar na Siudaine O'Briain, repaired thither wilh most of the
nobles of Munster and Connacht, and on his arrival at Cael-uisge,
sent northwards across the river one hundred steeds as wages iu token
of vassalage to O'Neill. O'Neill, enraged at this offer, sent back
the horses and two hundred steeds with golden bridles as wages to
O'Briain, who refused to accept of them; and the consequence was
that the meeting was broken up without choosing an ard-righ, or sole
monarch for that time.
It looks very strange that neither Leland nor Moore should have
noticed this attempt of the Irish chieftains to unite against the English,
for, although the result was insignificant, the attempt had it succeeded
would have proved disastrous lo the English' in Ulster.
The following is the account of the meeting at Cael-uisge given in
the Caithreim Thoirdhealbhaigh:

REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING POEM. 179
far-famed son of Conchubhar O'Briain, he proceeded with the greater
part of Leath-Mhogha and Connacht to that meeting; and all the hosts
of Ulster came there with O'Neill. It was a custom formerly that when
ever the King [chief] of a Tricha ched, or of a province, would receive
a gift or wages from another great chief, he thereby signified that he.
became a subject and a vassal to him, as his lord, and that he was to
pay him rent and laibute. After these nobles had sat in the assembly
O'Briain sent one hundred steeds northwards across the stream in the
name of wfiges to O'NeiU ; and when O'NeUl perceived jthis he, v?ith
great violent anger, ordered to be sent across the same stream two
hundred steeds with their gold-ornamented while-bordered bridles,
which he had collected for bestowing on the men of Eire at this
meeting On account of his right and power beyond any other of the
Gaeidhil to contest for Eire, and moreover because all the men of
Ulster were obedient to him at that time. When the noble Tadhg-
saw these steeds with their bridles, he sent the former steeds from their
heroes across the stream to retain the subsidy by will or by force.
When O'Neill perceived the pride and high-mindedness of O'Briain
he returned home in sorrow ; and the result of that dissension was
that the men of Eire dispersed from the meeting without selecting or
appointing any supreme King over them, or even agreeing upon a
resolution about defending Eire against the foreigners, except that
they would in some time after meet again for the same purpose. But
the greater number of them consented that Tadhg O'Briain should
assume the cheif lordship over them.";
In 1269 Brian O'NeiU and Felim O'Conchobar held a conference at
Daimh-inis [Devenish] in Loch Eirne, to deliberate upon the best means
of checking the encreasing -power ofthe English in Ireland. But in
the mean time treachery was at work in Ulster : Aedh Buidhe O'Neill,
the next aspirant to the chieftainship of the Cineal-Eoghain, conspired
with the young O'Domhnaill to weaken the power of Brian, and they
plundered Tir-Eoghain and obtained hostages from some of the
Oirghialla. In the next year Aedh O'Conchobar (Hugh O'Conor) King of Con
nacht, marched into Ulster with the elite of his chieftains and forces to
assist Brian O'Neill to crush his English and Irish enemies, and came

to an engagement wilh them on the Sunday within the Octave of As
cension day. In this battle Brian O'NeiU was certainly not joined by
all the chieftains of Ulster for it appears from the names of the slain
that he had not any forces from Ulidia or Tir-conaiU, and il is also^
clear that the people of Fearinanach and Oirghialla, with the exception
of O'h-Anluain, had deserted him. This is also quite clear from several
notices in the annals, and particularly from one under the year 1261,
which states, that after the battle of Dun (Down) O'Domhnaill made
a predatory incursion inlo Tir-Eoghain, and plundered and burned the
greater part of il.
The following notice of the battle of Dun-da-lealh-ghlas is given in
the Annals of Ulster:
A. D. 1260. The battle of Dromd'erg at Dundalethglas that Brien
O'Neill and JJugh mac Felim [ O'Connor J gave to the Galls ofthe
North of Ireland, where many of the best of Ireland were slayne, viz.

Kyan O'Hinerga, Dunleve Mac Canna, Conor O'Duvdirma andhisson
Hugh, Amline O'Garmley, and Cu-Ula O'Hanloyn, and fifteen ofthe
best of the O'Cahans were slayn at that present. And there were kiUed
of Connaught Gillchrist mac Conor mac Cormac O'Mulrony, King of
Moylurg, and Cabal mac Tiernan O'Coner, Mulrony Mac Donogh,
and Cahal mac Donogh mac Murlagh, Hugh mac Murlagh Fin. Teig'

the English, with a great company of Connoughtmen, where the said
Bryan wilh the forces of Tyreowen and Hugh O'Connor with their

" This battle is called the battle of Downe- Dalehglass, and Bryan
O'Neale is since called Bryan Catha in Dwyn (BhIAD caca ad bwi?

battle of Downe." — {Mageoghegan's Translation.)
The Annals of the Four Masters and the Annals of Kilronan agree
with those of Clonmacnoise nearly word for word. But the old Annals
of Innisfallen, preserved in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, differ
from all the Ui NeiU Annalists, and positively state in brief words that
Brian O'Neill was killed by his own Gaeidhil, or Irish followers.

" A.D. 1260. Brian O'Neill, king of Cineal Eoghain, to whom the
Gaeidhil had given hostages, and who had not given rent or tribute to
the king of the Saxous, was kUled by his own Gaeidhil and some of
the foreigners at Dun-DarLeath-ghlas."
The notice of this battle by the Anglo- Irish Annalists are curious
thotigh brief. Clyn notices it as follows : —
" A.D. 1260. O'Neyl, regulus Ultonie occiditur cum multo populo
apud civitatem de Duno, dominica infra octavas Ascensionis.''
In Grace's Annals the death of O'Neill is incorrectly entered under
the year 1259 :
" A.D. 1269. Stephanus de Longa Spata Justiciarius. Interfectus
O'NeU ad Dunum."
In Dowluig's Annals this battle is incoiTectly entered under the year
1268, thus—
"A.D. 1268. Stephanus de Longe Espee Justiciarius Hibernie

182 REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING POEM.
Anno 42 Henrice 3, inlerfecit O'Nel cum 352 ejus famUiaribus in vico
de Down."
These Anglo-Irish authorities have been followed by Dr. Hanmer
and Sir Richard Cox, who writes in his Hibernia Anglicana, p. 69,
that " Stephen de Long Espee, Lord Justice, encountered O'Nisale,
and slew him and three hundred and fifty- two Irishmen in the streets
of Down." , .
From these Anglo-Irish authorities the following brief notice of the
battle has been inserted in the Dublin copy of the Annals of Innis
fallen, which was compiled in 1760:
"A.D. 1268 [1260]. Brian Catha-an-Duin, son of NiaU Ruadh,
son of Aodh O'Neill, was slain at Dun-da-leath-ghlas by the English
under the command of _the Lord Justice Stephen de Long Espee, and
a great slaughter was made of the chiefs of Cineal-Eoghain. The
transaction happened on Sunday, and his head was carried to London."
But Dr. Leland, who ha,d the translation of the old Annals of Innis
fallen made in 1666 by Dudley Mac Firbisse for Sir James Ware, of
which he had a copy in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, writes
of this battle as follows : — '
" Ireland, in the mean time, felt all the melancholy effects of a
feeble government, an aspiring nobUity, laws suspended and controuled,
factions engendered by pride and oppression, the anarchy of the old
iiati'ves, the injustice of the new settlers, local feuds, and barbarous
massacres. Brian O'Nial of Tirbwen, who with his principality in
herited an inveterate aversion to English goveihiinent, rose up in arms,
compelled some neighbouring chiefs to join his standard, and spread
confusion through all the North. Stephen Lbng Espee was called out
to oppose him, and notwithstanding some advalitage gained in the field,
would have found il difficult to suppress this insui-rection, had not the
Irish prince fallen by the treachery of his own people.^-(Ann. Inilisf.
M.S.)" History of Ireland, vol. I. p. 230.,
The poem affords us curious glimpses inlo the distracted state of
Ireland at the period to which it refers, and into the kind of mo
narchical sway which the family of O'Neill claimed over all Ireland.
The bard boasts of victories which Brian O'Neill and his ancestors had
gained in their own province over their immediate neighbours in

REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING POEM. 183
Eastern Ulster and over the Kindred Race of Tir-Conaill. He next
speaks of the proud circumstance, that Brian's ancestors had in their
hall a chess-board formed of the bones of their hereditary enemies, the
Leinstermen, which is rather a barbaric boast in 1260. The only fact
referred to, worthy of an Irish prince of the house of Niall, or which
could be considered national glory, is the carrying off the hostages
apd the tribute of the foreigners or Danes of Dublin. Not a single
victory over the English is referred to, and the bard had nothing to
say on that subject except that they had achieved nothing in Ulster
till they slew his hero.

this was Closelye handled by the Governor Sir Richard Byngham, yett
the Bourks had intelligence that the Lorde Depulye had Protected

that they looked rayther like to ghosts then men ; Edmonde Bourk's
Sonne of Castell Barrye, persisted still, in the Action ; Their ffather
was the man, whome they sought to have made Mac William till he
was executed, by Course of the Common Lawe ; This man was very
oulde ; yett was he put to death, ffor theis Causes ensewinge : He
was a noteable Traytor, and the encourager of his sonnes to this Ac
tion, dureinge whose lyfe, both they and he, had a hope he should be
Mac William. To the ende therffore they shoulde be Carryed aVaye
noe longer with the deceiptfuU wings of this vayne hope, and soe the
sooner drawne to submission. He was indicted. Arraigned, Condempned,

have hanged him by Martiall Lawe, but rayther made Choyce to have
it orderlye donne as afforesaid, to the ende hir Majestie might have his
Landes, by Escheate vppon his Atlaynder, (ffor he had a good quan-
telye, of Lande; After this the said sonnes of Edmond Bourke; (see
inge their ffather, and in him all their hope dead) offerred to submitte
themselves, soe as they might have enioyned their ffather's Landes ;
But herein the Governor refferred them, to the resolution of the Lorde

they some what Lyked of, and when they offered, the eldest Brother's

REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING TRACT.

Mr. Hardiman in his Edition of O'Flaherty's Corographical De
scription of West Connaught, writes, (p. 394, note ", ) that Sir Richard
Bingham was universally detested by the native Irish, who considered
him as a sanguinary monster, " and full dearly did he make them pay
for the imputatiofl," and he adds " an account of his proceedings,"
(and there are abundant materials for it,) " would form a most interest
ing piece of Irish history."
, Sir Richard Bingham was the second son of Robert Bingham, Esq.
of Bingham's-Melcomb in Dorsetshire, by Alice, daughter of Thomas
Croker, Esq. He was renowned for his military achievements in various
parts of Europe before his arrival in Ireland, and his character is thus
blazoned by Camden in his Annals of the Reign of Elizabeth, A.D.
J 698: " Vir genere claro et antique in agro Dorsettensi, sed veteranEe
militite gloria clarior. Ad S. Quinlini enim conquestum \n Amiorica,
ad Leitham in Hebridibus Scotia, Creta insula, ad Chrium contra
Turcas, in Gallia et Belgio militavit, et quae dixi in Hibernia gessiu"
He makes his first appearance in Irish hislory as one of the bloody
actors under the Lord Deputy Grey at Dan-an-oir, near Smei-wick in
Kerry, A.D. 1580, where seven hundred Italians were butcherd in cold
blood after the Lord Grey had guaranteed their lives and liberties.
There is preserved in the British Museum, Titus B. p. 116, an original
letter from him to the Earl of Leicester, dated Smerwick road, Srd
November, 1680, conveying intelligence of the arrival of a ship with
men pressed, and p. 116, another letter, dated llth November, from
Smerwick, same to same. His Cenotaph in Westminster Abbey,
beginning " To the glory of the Lord of Hosts," states that he served
at Smerwick in Ireland.
On the 21stof June, 1584, he arrived in Ireland wilh Sir John Perrot,
and was appointed governor of the province of Connacht. On thc 13th

day of December, 1686, the lords and chieftains of the county of
Mayo signed a Composition in which they acknowledge " the manifold
benefits and easements they find in possessing of their lands and goods
since the peaceable govemment of the lord Depulie, and the just
dealings of Sir Richard Binghame Knight," and " graunt to the
Queene s most excellent Majesty, her heires and " successors for ever,

money of England goinge out of everie quarter, which in the whole
amountelh yearly to the some of £600 sterling, and for lacke of money

said rente."
In January, 1686, he held asession (assizes) at the town of Galway,
on which occasion seventy persons, including men and women, were
executed, ainong whom were Domhnall, son of Muircheartach Garbh
O'Briain of Cathair-Corcrain and Rath, in the Co. of Clare, and Brian,
the son of O'h-Eaghra Buidhe of Leyny in the Co. of Sligo.
On the first of March in the same year he laid siege to Cluain-
Dubhain, or Cloonoan, in Clare, then considered orie of the strongest
Castles in Ireland, then in the possession of Mathghamhain or Mahon
O'Briain. He continued the siege for seven days, according to Docwra,
or' three weeks, as the Four Masters have it: Mahon, who fought
bravely from the battlements of his Caslle, having been shot through
the head, the warders surrendered the Castle at discretion, but were
all put to the sword without mercy.
Shortly after the taking of this Castle, Sir Richard Bingham pro
ceeded against the Bourkes of the County of Mayo, whom he treated
wilh great severity. His doings in this County are thus described by
the Four 'Masters : —
"A.D. 1586. The Governor afterwards (i.e. after the siege of.
Cluain Dubhain, in the County of Clare) proceeded to attack Caislean-
na-Caillighe (the Hag's Castle) in Lough Mask, which was the strongr
hold of the province of Connacht. These were they who guarded it
at the time : Rickard Burke, who was called Deamhan-an-Chorrain,

son of Rickard O'Cuairsci ; and Walter, son of Edmond, son of Ulick,
son of Edmond, son of Rickard O'Cuairsci. They had gone to this
Castle that they might not be obliged to attend a session, and to pro
tect their persons. The Governor proceeded to lay siege lo the caslle ;
and he sent the crews of four or five boats of the choicest men in the
camp to attack the castle in the middle of the day. But their efforts
were fruitless, for a number of their men was slain, and they left behind
one of their boats, and the rest returned, in danger of being drowned,
for the camp. After their departure the Burkes resolved that they would
not in future defend any castle against the Sovereign of England, and
they went in two boats, with their wives and children, to the other
side of the lake opposite the camp. The Governor destroyed the caslle
after their departure.
" In this camp he [the Governor] hanged the son of Mac William
Burke, namely, Rickard Og, usually styled Fal-fo-Eriim [the hedge or
fence of Ireland] son of Rickard, son of John of the Tearmann [o(
Balla] after his other brother had been killed, viz. Thomas, the Claimant
of Caislean-na-n-Enuighe [the Castle of Annies] on Finn-loch-Ceara,
in Connacht. This castle had to be given up to the Governor after the
execution of Rickard and Thomas; and il was demolished by him, as
the other castles had been. About the same lime the Governor hanged
Theobald and Myler, two sons of Walter Fada, son of David, son of
Edmond, son of Ulick Burke.- A great jjart of the people of Con
nacht joined the Burkes in their treason about the festival of St. John
this year. Among these were the Clann -Domhnaill Galloglach, the
Joyces of West Connacht; and they sent away their moveable properly
and their women into the fastnesses and wilds of the country. The

insurgents ; and these soldiers not having caught the plunderers preyed
on the people of Murchadh-na-Duath, and the race of Eoghan O'Flailh-
bhearlaigh, who were, as they thought themselves, under the protection
of the law [of England] at the time. The soldiers killed women, boys,
peasants, and decrepid persons, and they hanged Theobald O'Tuathail,
[of Omey island], supporter of the destitute, and the keeper of a house
of hospitality. They also made a prisoner of DomhnaU -an-Chogaidh,
son of Gilla-dubh, son of Murchadh, son of Eoghan O'Flaithbheartaigh
and put him to death. They then retumed to the Governor with
many preys and spoUs."
The next great achievement of Sir Richard Bingham was the total
defeat and annihilation of the Highlanders who came to the assistance
of the Burkes of the County of Mayo. It is given as follows in the
Annals of the Four Masters : —
"A.D. 1686. A Scottish fleet landed in Inis-Eoghain O'Dochar-
taigh's country in the north-eastern part of Tir Conaill. These were the
gentlemen and chief Constables of that fleet: Domhnall Gorm and
Alexander, two sons of James, son of Alexander, son of John Cathanach
Mac Domhnaill; Gilla-espuig, son of Dubhgall, son of JDonchadh Cam,
son of Gilla-espuig Mac Ailin, [Campbell] and many other gentlemen
besides. Their name and fame were greater than their appearance. They
pitched their camp in that part of the country where they landed where
they had abundance of flesh-meat. The haughty plunderers, theperpe-
trators of treacherous deeds, and the opponents of goodness of the
neighbouring territories flocked to join them there ; so that there was
nothing of value in Inis-Eoghain [Inishowen] whether com or cattle
which they did not carry off on this occasion. They afierwards passed
alongby the river Finn and the Modhai-n[Mourn] toTearmann-Magrath,
to the territory of Lurg, and to Midhbholg, until they arrived at the
borders of the Eirne. When the Burkes who wei e engaged in plunder
ing and insurrection, as before slated, namely, Rickard Burke, the son
of Deamhan-an Chorrain, the sons of Edmond Burke, and the Clann-
Domhnaill Galloglach had heard of the arrival of these Scots, they ex
peditiously sent messengers inviting them lo their assistance, and
stating that they would obtain many spoils, and a territory worthy of

them in the province of Connacht, should they themselves succeed
in defending it against the people of the Sovereign. I'he Scots, upon
receipt of these messages proceeded across the Eirne and by the first
day's march arrived in the district lying between the rivers Dubh and
Drobhaeis ; and they proceeded to plunder Dartraighe and Cairbre,
where they were m,et by Rickard and the sons of Edmond. The
Governor set out for Sligo to oppose them, upon which the Scots de
parted from that district, and passed southwards through Dartraighe,
and by the side of Beanna-bo in Breifne. They remained three
nights at Druim-da-ethiar [Dromahaire] from whence they proceeded
to Braidshliabh, [Braalieue,] and never hailed until they arrived at
Cill-Ronain [Kilronan] where they stopped on the confines of Breifne,
Magh-Luirg and Tir-OiliUa [Tirerrill]. The Governor went from
the west lo Beal-an-atha-fada in Tir-OiliUa; and both parties remained
[for some time] at those places without coming in contact with each
other. The Scots at length began to move from that place in the
beginning of a wet and very dark night, and they proceeded north
westwards through Tir-OiliUa with the intention of crossing the bridge
of Cul-Maeile [CoUooney] ; but three companies of the Governor's
people were guarding the bridge on that night. The Scots advanced
to them, and a fierce conflict was fought between them. The Scots
were obliged to abandon the bridge, and to cross the ford on the west-
side of it. After this they went on the same night as far as Sliabh
Gamh, and on the following day to Ard-na-riagh. The Governor set
out from Beal-an-atha-fada on the following day, as though he had no
intention of pursuing them, and he went through Connacht for fifteen
days, collecting such forces as he could ; and during that time he had
people employed to spy and reconnoitre the Scots. When he had the
requisite number ready, he marched from the monastery of Beannada
in Luighne [Banada in Leyny] in Connacht, in the beginning of a
very dark night in autumn, and stopped neither by day nor night until -
he arrived at Ard-na-riagh, about the noon of the day following
without giving any warning' to the Scots. The way the Scots were on
his arrival was, sleeping on their couches without fear or guard;
just as though that strange country into which they had come was
their own without opposition. They were first aroused from iheir

profound slumbers by the shrieks of their calones, whom the
Governor's people were slaughtering throughout the town.
" The Scots then arose expertly, and placed themselves as well as
they Avere able in order and array for battle lo engage the Governor's
people. But this was of no avail lo them, for they had scarcely dis
charged thefirst shower of darts before they were routed by the Go
vernor's people, and driven towards the river, which confronted .them,
namely, the loud-sounding salmon-full Moy. On their way towards
the river, many were laid low ; and when they came to the river they
did not slop at its banks, but plunged without delay into its depths,
for they chose rather to be drowned than be killed by the Governor's
people. In short near two thousand of them were ' slain on this oc
casion. The sons of Edmond Burke were not present at this onslaught,
for on the day before that defeat they had gone forth wilh three hun
dred men in quest of booty for the Scots; but, hearing the news [of
the disaster] they kept aloof from them, and remained in the fast
nesses of their own territory. Such of' the Scots and Ulstermen as
were with them, attempted to effect their escape into Ulster ; but they
were almost all hanged or slain in the several territories through which
they passed, before they could cros& the Eirne. The father of the
sons already mentioned, namely, Edmond, the son of Ulick, son of
Edmond, son of Rickard O'Cuairsci, was hanged by the Governor
after this defeat. He was a withered, grey, old man, without strength
or vigor, and they were obliged to cany him to the gallows upon a
bier." At the time of the Spanish Armada Sir Richard Bingham was one
of Queen Elizabeth's Military Council, and in 1588 we find him in
conjunction with the Lord Justice of Ireland, Sir William Fitzwilliam
and Sir Thomas Norris, Governor of Munster, on a great hosting
against O'Ruairc and Mac Suibhne na d-Tualh who attempted to
relieve a party of Spaniards who were under the command Of Antonio
de Leva. On this expedition they destroyed all the property of the
dis-affected Irish from the river Suca to the Drobhaeis and from thence
to the river Finn in Tir-ConaUl, but did not succeed in apprehending
or molesting O'Ruairc or Mac Suibhne ; but they made prisoners of
O'Docharlaigh and Sir John O'Galchobhair.

220 REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING TRACT.
In 1689 the Burkes of Mayo refused to submit to the government
of Sir Richard Bingham and took up arms to defend themselves, and
were joined by the Clann Domhnaill Galloglach, the O'Dubhdas of Tir-
fhiacrach, the O'Flaithbheartaighs and Joyces of West Connacht, and
they continued to harrass and plunder all those who were obedient to the
Governor during the Summer and Autumn of that year; but in the
month ofjanuary 1690 Sir Richard and the Earl of Thomond marched
with a considerable force against them, and pitched their camp at Cong.
The Burkes were encamped at the west side of Cong, and both parties
thus remained face to face for a fortnight, during which time they held
daily conferences, but could not agree on terms of peace. At length
the Governor and the Earl set out from their camp with twelve
companies of soldiers to make their way into Tirawley and En-is. The
Burkes marched in a parallel line with them intending to attack them
at the gap of Beama-na-gaeithe. They did not do so, however, being
discouraged by an accident which happened to their chief leader, the
son of Mac William, who lost his foot from the ankle out. The
Governor soon after returned to Cong, and the Burkes submitted to him
and delivered him hostages.
Sir Richard then proceeded to Athlone where he remained till the
month of March, when he mustered another force to march against
O Ruairc. His forces on this occasion were so numerous that he was
enabled to send a numerous force to Sliabh Chairbre at the south ex
tremity of O'Ruairc's country of Breifne, and another to the west of
the Bridge of Sligo to invade it from the north. The two divisions
marched through the heart of Breifne destroying the country and the
people with fire and sword as they passed along, until both met
together. On this occasion O'Ruairc was driven from Breifne, and he
received neither shelter nor protection until he arrived in the Tuathas
in the north west of Tir-Conaill where he remained with Mac Suibhne

came in and submitted to the governor. The whole of Breifne re
mained obedient to the Governor from this time till the following
-Michaelmas, when Tighearnan Ban O'Ruairc and Brian-na-Samhthach
O'Ruairc retumed, and being joined by the tribes of Breifne and
Muintir-Eolais, opposed the Governor and continued spoiling every
thing belonging to the Engli.sh until the end of the year.

REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING TRACT. 221
In the same year Sir Richard Bingham erected a great fort between
Loch Ce and Loch Arbhach to check the O'Ruaircs.
In 1692 the Burkes of the county of Mayo were again in
insurrection and " went on their keeping". When Sir Richard heard
of their insurrection he marched against them and took possession
of all their castles, whether perfect or broken, as Dun-na-mona* Cuil-
na-g-Caisil'* Gaeisideach* and Cluainin^ . The Burkes attacked him
at Cuil-na-g-Caisil, but they were more harmed than the Governor.
After this the Governor dispatched heavy troops of English and Irish
soldiers in search of the insurgents, who had retired to the dense
woods, rugged mountain tops, and other fastnesses of their country, and
these soldiers soon returned to him with many prisoners both men and
women and with many cows and horses. After this all the Burkes,
except Rickard, the son of Deamhan-an-Chorrain, came in and
submitted to the award of the Governor- Upon which the Governor
took the castles ofthe country into his own possession and left John
Bingham and companies of his own soldiers to guard them.
On the first of May, 1593, George Bingham of Baile-an-Mhota, the
brother of Sir Richard, sent soldiers into Breifne to distrain for non
payment of the Queen's rent, and they seized the milch cows of
Brian-na~samhthach O'Ruairc's eldest son, and then his locum-tenens.
Brian, asserted that all the rents remaining unpaid were those unjustly
demanded for lands that were waste, and that George Bingham ought
not to demand rents for those lands until they should be inhabited.-
Accordingly he went to demand the restitution of his cows, but got no
satisfaction. On his return home he sent for mercenaries and hireling
soldiers into Tirone, Tirconnell and Fermanagh, and a considerable
number flocked to- his standard, with whom he marched without delay

in the first month of summer, to Ballymote, and plundered the ba
ronies of Corran and TirerrUl, and burned thirteen villages lying
round Ballymote, and ransacked and totally plundered Ballymote
itself, the head quarters of George Bingham, slaying Captain GUbert
Grayne, a gentleman of Bingham's party. Brian O'Ruairc then re
turned home loaded wilh rich spoils.
Encouraged by the success of O'Ruairc's son, Maguire mustered
his forces, and marched into the plain of Connacht where Sir Richard
Bingham was then stationed, and early in the moming dispatched
marauding parties through the plain. At this very time Sir Richard -
happened to be encamped on a hill near the gate of Tulsk in the ba
rony of Roscommon, watching the surrounding country, and he sent
forth early in the moming a party of his cavalry to scour the hills
around that on which he was stationed, but this party perceived nothing,
in consequence of a thick fog, until they met Maguire and a strong body
of cavalry face to face. On perceiving the strength of Maguires cavalry
they took to fiight, and were hotly pursued by Maguire and his party to
the Governor's camp. Here, Maguire perceiving that he was not able
to oppose Bingham's whole force with his cavalry judiciously retreated -
towards the main body of his forces, and was in his turn pursued by the
Governor until Maguire had come up wilh his forces, but when the Gov
ernor saw that he had not a sufficient number of men to risk a battle,
he retreated without losing more than Six horsemen and one gentleman,
William Clifford, by name. On the other side, Maguire lost Edmond
Mag Samhradhain, primate of Armagh, and then returned in ti-iumph lo
Fermanagh loaded with spoils.
Rickard Burke the son of Deamhan-an-Chorrain stUl continued ah
obdurate rebel and joined Maguire, and the disaffection spread ' inlo
Oirghialla. The Lord Deputy made a hosting of the men of Meath
and the south half of Ireland, and the Govei-nor of Connacht mus
tered the forces of his province to reduce them. The great Earl of
Tyrone was al this time one of the most powerful suppressors of the
rebellion, and lent his powerful aid to crush Maguire and his confede
rates, but this was the last action in which he fought on the side of
the English. The Governor of the province of Connacht returned
homewards and remained for some time at the Abbey of Boyle, plun
dering Muintir-Eolais and the western part of Fermanagh.

REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING TRACT. 223
In 1594 the Lord Justice, WiUiam Fitzwilliam, took the castle of
Enniskillen, and placed warders of his own to defend it; but Maguire
and O'DomhnaUl beleaguered them, and continued to invest the fortress
from the beginning of June to the middle of August, by which time
the warders had consumed all their provisions. When the Lord Justice
heard that the warders of Enniskillen were in want of provisions, he
commanded the men of Meath, the O'Raghallaighs of Cavan, and the
Binghams of Connacht, to convey provisions to EnniskUlen. These
parties metal Cavan, O'Raghallaigh's town, where they obtained the pro
visions, and set out for Enniskillen, tUl they an-ived ^ at a ford on the
river Arney, about five mUes to the south of Enniskillen. Here Ma
guire had set an ambuscade for them. He encountered and defeated
them at the ford, and deprived them of many steeds, weapons and
other spoils, and of all the provisions which they were carrying to the
relief of Enniskillen. George Bingham escaped, and returned home
through the Largan, and the northern part of Breifne-Ui- Ruairc to
Sligo. In 1596, George Bingham, Governor of Sligo under Sir Richard
Bingham, sailed with the crew of a ship around Tir-Conaill, and put
into Cuan Suilighe, [Lough Swilly] and, the inhabitants not being
prepared to resist them, plundered Mary's Abbey, situate on the brink
of the strand, and carried off the vestments, chalices, and other valuable
articles of the abbey. They then sailed to Torach, and plundered
overy thing they found on the island, and then sailed back to Sligo.
Bul shortly after (in the month of June, 1596,) this George was killed
by Ensign Ulick Burke (the son of Redmond na Scuab) who took
possession of the castle of Sligo, which he delivered up to O'Domhnaill.
When intelligence of the death of George Bingham and the taking of
Sligo came to the hearing of those of the province of Connacht who
were in insurrection, namely, the Burkes of Mayo, the Clann-Domhnaill
the O'Conchobhair Sligo, the O'Ruaircaigh, the ClannrMaelruanoigh,
and aU those who had beeri proolairiied and were roving in the province of
Ulster and other places, having been banished from Connacht by the Bing
hams, they came to O'Domhnaill to Sligo, and each of them afterward
went home to his own patrimonial inheritance; and every inhabitant whom
the Binghams had settled on their lands during the period of their

proscription adhered to them as followers ; and in the course of one
month the most of the inhabitants of the district, from the western
points of Erris and Umhall to the river Drobhaeis, had unanimously
confederated with O'Domhnaill, and there were not many castles or
fortresses in the same district, whether injured or perfect, that were not
under his control.
The hostages of Connacht, who were imprisoned in Galway by Sir
Richard Bingham, having drank wine until they were intoxicated, plotted
together in the month of Augusi this year to make their escape from
prison by stratagem or force. They accordingly knocked off their
.chains and gyves in the early part ofthe night, while the gates ofthe
town were stUl open, and while all the town's people were at dinner,
and passed out by the west gate, the bridge having been occupied by
the soldiers of the town to intercept their flight, they plunged into the
river to cross it by swunming, but by the time they gained the opposite
bank the soldiers, who had left the bridge, were ready to meet them. The
result was that some of them were slain on the spot and others were
conducted back to the prison. When the Governor heard of their
attempt to escape, he sent a writ to Galway ordering that all those who
had consented to escape should be hanged without delay. The follow
ing were then hanged; Edmond, the son of Mac William Burke; two
of the O'Conchobhair Ruadh ; the son of Mac David Burke ; Murchadh
Og, the son of Sir Murchadh na d-Tuagh O'Flaithbheartaigh ; DomhnaU
the son of Ruaidhri O'Flailhbhearlaigh; and Myler, son of Theobald
Burke. Towards the end of August this year, O'DomhnaUl made au irruption
into Connacht, and laid seige to Castlemore-Costello, then defended by
Bingham's people, who were finally obliged to surrender it. He then
proceeded to Dunmore and dispatched plundering parties into the terr
itories of Conmhaicne of Dunmore, Muintir-Murchadha, Machaire
Riabhach, and to Tuam : and they totally plundered these districts, took
the castle of Turloch Mochain, and made a prisoner of Richard, the
son of the Lord Bermingham, and retumed to O'Domhnaill loaded wilh
rich spoils.
When Sir Richard Bingham had heard that O'Domhnaill had passed
by him westwards inlo Connacht, he assembled fifteen companies of
soldiers, both horse and foot, and marched to the top of Coirrshliabh

[near Boyle] wilh the intention of attacking O'Domhnaill on his return.
When O'Domhnaill heard this he returned home with forced marches
through Costello, Leyny and Tirerrill, crossing the three bridges
namely, those of Cul-Maeile, Baile-Easa-dara, and Sligo, and was
pursued by the English with all expedition. O'Domhnaill detached a
troop of horsemen and ordered them to fall to the rear of his army to
prevent the van ofthe English army from coming in collision with the
attendants or unarmed portion of his force ; and he then moved on with
his preys till he reached the neighbourhood of Gleann-Dallam, without
meeting any opposition. Sir Richard Bingham followed in his track,
and took up his quarters in the monastery of Sligo to besiege O'Domh
naill's warders in the caslle. On the next day O'Domhnaill sent a p^rty
of horsemen to reconnoitre the English and leam the stale of the castle,
and of the men who were in it, and they then advanced to the banks of
the river, and ascended the hill of Rath-Dabhriotog fro.m which they
espied the English moving up and down throughout the town. There
was at this time along with Sir Richard his own sister's son, a proud
and haughty youth. Captain Martin by name, who was the commander
of his cavalry. He could not bear to see the enemy so near him
without attacking them, and he proceeded wilh a squadron of horsemen
across the bridge of Sligo. When O'Domhnaill's people perceived them
advancing, they returned as speedily as they were able, as they were not
equal to them in number. The English pursued them, but not over
taking them they returned to the town. O'Domhnaill's party then
related how they had been pursued, and how they had escaped by
means of the swiftness of their horse's. O'DomhnaUl, on hearing their
story, was resolved to lay a snare for these foreigners on the same pas
sage; and selecting one hundred of the best horsemen ofhis army and
three hundred hifantry, he ordered them to lie in ambush within a
mile of Sligo, and to send a small party of horse to the bank of the
river to decoy the English army, and should they pursue them, not
to wait for an engagement until they should have come beyond the
place where the ambuscade was laid. This was accordingly done.
When Captain Martin perceived the small squadron of cavalry on the
bank of the river he advanced directly with a large body of cavalry
to wreak his vengeance upon them. The others at first moved slowly

and leisurely before them, but these soldiers were soon obliged to in
cite their horses forward, the English having pursued them with
speed and vehemence. One of them, however, namely, Felim Reagh
Mac Devitt, was compelled to remain behind, in consequence of the
slowness of his horse, and being unable to keep up wilh his own people,
he was obliged to disobey the orders of his lord, that is, to fight the
English before he had passed the ambuscade. As he was certain of
being immediately slain he turned his face to the nearest of his pur
suers, who was Captain Martin, who, as he raised his arm to strike
Felim, received a violent thrust of the latter's spear directly in the
arm-pit, which pierced him through the heart. He was covered with
mail . except in this spot. The English, seeing their champion and
commander mortaUy wounded, returned to Sligo, carrying him in lhe_
agonies of death, to the town, where he died that night.
The Governor's fury was now at its height. He ordered engines,
called " sows," to be constructed for demolishing the castle. These
they constructed of the timber and fumiture of the monastery, and
they covered them on the outside with cow-hides, and they were early
in the night filled with soldiers and artizans, and moved on wheels to
the base of the castle, for the purpose of undermining it. At the same
time some artizans, who were within the castle, commenced pulling
down the upper part of the walls, in order that the soldiers within
might hurl the stones down on their enemies. Some of the warders
also ascended the battlements of the castle, and proceeded to cast down
heavy stones which shattered every thing on which they fell. Others
went to the windows and loop holes, and commenced firing with mus
kets, so that the soldiers in the " sows" were bruised by stones and
wounded by the musket balls. The Governor, finding that they could
not take the castle, ordered the work to be abandoned, and his men
emerged from the war sows severely bruised and wounded. He marched
back to Roscommon sick at heart, because he was not able to take ite
castle, or wreak his vengeance on O'DomhnaiU's people. O'Domhnaill
soon after demolished the castle lest the English should get possession
of it.
At the same time Theobald Burke, son of Walter Kittagh, laid
spige to the castle of Belleek on the river Moy, in Tirawlev, which

REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING TRACT. 227
was defended by Sir Richard Bingham's warders. Sir Richard sent
his brother Captain John Bingham, Captain Foal, Captain Minche,
and the son of WiUiam Tuite, with many other gentlemen, to the
relief of the caslle with provisions and arms ; but before they could
relieve the warders, Theobald had obtained possession of the castle.
They then returned and were pursued by Theobald, who slew two of
their captains and many of their men, and deprived them of much
arms and armour. In the month of December this year (1695)
O'Dombnaill marched with his forces into Connacht, and nominated this
Theobald Burke as the Mac William in preference to others of the
family, who were older and greater in point of dignity, because he
was in the bloom of youth and able to endure the hardships and toils
of the war in which they were engaged. He was inaugurated in pre
sence of all the forces of O'Domhnaill, and hostages and pledges were
delivered into his hands by the other Burkes after his election. O'Domh
naUl remained with him during the Christmas holidays at Kilmaine
and Brees in Clanmorris.
At this period O'Domhnaill broke down thirteen castles in- Connacht,
and set up chieftains of his own selection, and returned carrying off
hostages from every territory into which he had come as a security for
their fealty.
In 1696, when the Lord Justice and Council of Ireland saw the
bravery and power of the Irish against them, they sent the Earl of
Ormond and Myler Magrath, archbishop of Cashel, to Faughard to
request O'Neill and O'Domhnaill to come to terms of peace, but these
tenns were rejected by the Irish. Queen Elizabeth, who was at this
time principally attentive to the affairs of France and the progress of
the Spanish arms in that country, was pleased at any prospect at com
posing the vexatious broUs of Ireland, and hearing that Sir Richard
Bingham had hanged, too many of the nobiUty of the province of Con
nacht, she and her council, understanding that it was impossible to
reconcile the Irish to him, contrived to have him removed as if to
please the Irish. The Irish of Connacht had delivered to the Lord
Deputy in 1695 forty-three articles of complaint against Sir Richard,
one of which was the hanging of Richard Og Burke, commonly called
Falfo Eirinn, without any just cause. His very able answer? to all

these charges are preserved in the Cotton Library in the British Mu
seum, Titus B. xiii. p. 461. He was succeeded in his office by a far
more humane character, Sir Conyers Clifford, who attempted lo re
concile the Irish by acts of kindness. When Sir Richard Bingham
arrived in London he was imprisoned, but when the Queen heard of
the defeat of her field Marshal, Sir Henry Bagnal, by the Irish of
Ulster, she was persuaded that Bingham had acted with that severity
due to obdurate rebels, and he was accordingly set at liberty and ap
pointed to succeed Marshal Bagnal. But dealh soon quenched his

A NARRATION,

The occasion that moued mee, to make this Narration, was giuen by
my lord Chichester, (the lord Depulie of Ireland that now is) who
being in England some two or three monethes of this last Sommer,
neere the time of his departure, when I came to take my leaue of him,
pleased to enter into some speach with mee touching my Relyred Life,
which hee imputed to proceed from my owne disposition, averring he
often heard my Lord of Deuonshire say, that nothing would Content
mee except I had all, & such a Commaund as might not stand with the
convenience of the King's seruice ; I made noe large replie vnto his
Lordship then, because the time serued not for it; But somewhat I
sai^e to excuse myselfe from that imputation & withall it came
round at that instant into my Remembraunce that I had (not long
before) heard myselfe in like manner taxed for selling away of rny
place : soe as I-found the two mayne Points the world misconceiued
mee in, were these : ffirst that I voluntarily gaue ouer my Place, &
then that I made a Benifitt thereof, by selling it away to an other, &
if either of these were true, whatsoeuer ensued upon it, afterwards to
my greife & discontentment, I cannot but acknowledge, I may iustlie
be Convinced, the faulte wasmyowne, I haue noe Cause to Complaine:
But for Refutation of those fewe obiections, as I said then to his Lord
ship in priuate, soe now I may safelie proclaime it to the world,' I
neede not appeale to any other Testimonye but that of his owne know
ledge. Then coming home and falling into a sadd meditation wilh
my Selfe, it came into my thoughts shall I for euer by silence betray

236 docwra's narration.
myne owne Innocency, was it a vertue in a Dumbe man, to breake the
very tongue strings, to speake when he sawe his father in Danger, to
be otherwise vniustlie Condemned, & can it be Excusable in mee,
that Nature hath not denied the vse of my tongue vnto, to suffer my
Bowels to frett with greife, my Reputation to be trampled vpon,
(which all men knowe ought to be deerer to Mee than my owne Life,
& as deere as the redemption of my ffathers,) & so lett it pass, &
say nothing ? yea, but I speake alone (without Adversarie) may some
man say, and if I faine any, it is such a one as is gone ex rerum Na
tura, against whome I may assume what libertie I will, so say what I
list ; it is true this may be obiected : but I have this to say againe, for
these thinges I discourse of touching my owen parliculer greevances,
they are such as I openlie speak & Complayned of in his life time,
& for the rest touching the carriage of the gennerall bussines, there
are I thinke hundreds at least yet living able to Controwle mee if I
speake vntruth, & whatsoever I say in either out of the Compase of
comon Knowledge, I haue Evidence to shewe, for that any man shall
see that will, and when he hath done lett him iudge as his owen Dis
cretion shall guide him. And I say further, my desire is with truth to
defend my selfe, not with mallice to defame the memorie of an other,
& my lord was a Noble man that for many yeares togeather, I loued
& honnored sincerelie in my hearte, vertues I sawe in him that moued
mee soe to doe, they were not, nor could not be all extinguished by
one acte, though of neuer soe manifest a wronge done unto mee : Be
sides, it may be that somewhat there was, that reason in his apprehen
sion might moue him vnto, the secret whereof it seamed not fitt in his
Eyes to impart vnto mee : let it be soe, for that doth nothing infringe
the truth of that I say, But entring into fm-ther discourse with myself
touching this subiect, it came with all into my minde, I had lying by
mee some memoriall noates and a greate Number of letters, that if
they were well searched ouer, togeather with the helpe of myne owne
memorie, were able to bring to light the truth of that which otherwise
was Uke to perish and Consume in Darkenes ; I spent a litle lime to
pervse them, & these are the effectes, the doing thereof hath produced.

assigned to meete att Knockfergus, the first of May : That part levyed
in England was shipt at Helbree neere , vnto Westchester on the 24th
of Aprili, 1600. And of these a Regiament of 1000 ffoote & 60
horse, were to be taken out immediatelie vpon our landing, & assigned
to sr Mathew Morgan to make a plantation with att Ballishannon.
The Provisions wee canied with vs at first were a quantelie of deale

of Brass, two Culverins of Iron, a master Gunner, two master Masons,
& two master Carpenters, allowed in pay with a greate number of
Tooles & other vfensiles, & with all viclueU & munition requisite.
Soe with those men from England, and with these Provisions afore
saide, on the xxv day of Aprili wee sett saile, and on the 28lh in the
Euening put in att Knockfergus, where wee staide the space of 8 dayes

by ignorance of the wayes our horses were presenllie boggt, & soe at

next day, the place seaming to my Judgement fitt to build, wee beganne
about the Butt end of the old broken Castle, to cast vp a fforte, such
as might be capable to lodge 200 men in.
Sixe days wee spent in labour about it, in which meane space,

On the 22nd of May wee put the Army in order to marche, &
leaning Captain Lancelloti Alford at Culmore with 600 men, to make
vp the workes, wee went to the Derry 4 myles of vpon the River side,
a place in manner of an Hand Comprehending within it 40 acres of

& in the other a lille aboue, where the walls of an old CathedraU
church were yet standing, to evert annother for our future safelie
& relreate vnto upon all occasions.
Soe then I vnloaded & discharged the Shipping that brought vs, all
but those reserued for Sr. Math : Morgan & two Men of Warre, vnder
comaund of Captaine George. Thornton, & Captaine Thomas
Fleminge, which were purposlie assigned to attend vs all that Sommer;
& the first bussines I setled myselff vnto was, to lay out the forme of
the said two intended fforles, & to assigne to every Companye his
severail ta.ske how & where to worke.
I know there were some that presentlie beganne to censure mee, for
not slurring abroade, & makeing ioumeyes vji inlo the Counlrye, alleadg-
ing wee were stronge enough & able to doe it ; I deny not but wee
were ; but that was not the scope & drift of our coming, wee were lo
silt it out all winter, Prayes would not be sett without many hazards,
& a greate Consumption of our men, the Countrie was yet unknowne
vnlo vs, & those wee had to deale with were, as I was sure, would
Chuse or Refuse to feight with vs as they sawe theire owne advantage ;
These Considerations moued mee to resolue to hould an other Course, &
before I attempted any thinge els, to setle & make sure the footing
wee had gayned.

docwra's narration. 239
The two shipps of warre, therefore, (the Countrie all about vs being
wast & burned,) I sent with souldiers in them to coast all alonge the
shoare, for the space of 20 or 30 myles, & willed wheresoeuer they
found any bowses, they should bring a way the Timber & other ma-
terialls to build with all, such as they could ; and O'Cane hauing a
woode, lying right over against vs, (on the other side ofthe River,)
wherein was plentie of old growne Birch, I daylie sent workemen
with a Guard of souldiers to cutt it downe ; & there was not a sticke of
it brought home, but was first well fought for ; A Qiianie of stone &
slatt wee found hard at hand. Cockle shells to make a Lyme, wee dis-
couered infinite plentie of, in a litle Hand in the mouth of the Har
bour as wee came in, and wilh those helpes, togeather with the Pro
visions wee brought, & the stones and rubbidge of the old Buildings
wee found, wee sett ourselues wholie, & wilh all the dilligence wee
could possible to fortefying & framing, & setting vpp of bowses,
such as wee might be able to line in, & defend ourselves when winter
should Come, & our men be decayed as it was apparant it would be :
And whether this was the right Course to lake or noe, let them that
sawe the after Events be the Judges of.
My lord Deputie, att the time wee should land, (to make our.discent
the more easie,) was drawne downe to the Blackwater, & g,aue out
that hee would enter the Countrey .that way, whereupon Tyrone &
O'Donell had assembled theire cheifest strength to oppose against him :
But his lordship now knowing wee were safe on shore, & possest of
the ground wee ment to inhabite, with drewe his Campe & relourned
to Dublin, & then being deliuered of that feare, those forces they had
brought togeather for that purpose, being now encreased by the addition
of more, & estimated (by Comon fame) to be about 6000 in all, they
came downe with vpon vs, & placing themselues in the night within
litle more then a mile from where wee lay, earelie in the morning at
the Breaking vpp of the watch, gaue on vpon our Corps de Gaurd of
horse, chased them home to our foote Sentynells, & made a
coimtennaunce as if they came to make but that one daye's worke of it
but the Alarume taken, & our men in Ai-mes, they contented themselves
to attempe noe further, but seeking to drawe vs forth into the Countrey
where they hoped to take vs at some advantages, & finding wee

stoode vpon our defensiue onelie, after the greatest parte of the day
spent in skirmish, a litle without our Campe they departed towards the
Eueninge, whither did wee thinke it fitt to pursue them.
An now did Sr Mathew Morgan demaund his Regiament of lOOD
foote, and 60 horse, which at first (as I saide before) were designed him
for a plantation att Ballyshannon ; but vpon consultation held how hee
should proceed, & with what Probabilitie he might be able to effect
that intended bussines, there appeared soe many wants & difficulties
vnthought on, or vnprouided ; for before that it was euident those forces
should be exposed to manifest mine, if at that time, & in the state
as thinges then stoode, hee should goe forward, the truth whereof being
Certified both by himselfe & mee to the lords of the CounceU in Eng
land, as alsoe to the lord Deputie & Councell of Ireland; wee receiued
present directions from them both lo suspend the proceeding in that
action till annother time ; & soe I discharged the Rest of the shipping
reserued for that iourney; & not long after the Companys' growing
weake, '& the list ofthe foote reduced to the number of 3000, that
Regiament was wholie dissolued & made as a parte onelie of our
army. On the first of June, Sr Arihur O'Neale, sonne to old Tirlogh
Lenogh that had beene O'Neale, came in vnto mee with some 30 horse
& foot, a Man I had directions from the state, to labour to drawe to
our side, & to promise to be made Earle of Tyroane, if the other
that mainteyned the Rebellion could be dispossessed of the Country ;
By his aduice wilh in fewe dayes after I sent Sr John Chamberlaine
wilh 700 men into O'Cane's Countrie, to enter into it by boate, from
O'Dohertye's side, because at the hither end lying right over against
vs, was a Continuall watch kepte, soe as we could not stirre but wee
were sure to be presentlie discouered ; These men marching all night
jiut ouer at Greene-castle, & by breake of day, on the lOlh of June,
fell in the middest of theire Creagles vnexpected, Ceazed a greate pray,
& brought it to the Waterside ; but for want of meanes to bring il all
away, they hacki & mangled as manj' as they could, & wilh Some
100 Cowes, which they put abord theire Boats, besids what the Souldiers
brought away kild, Ihey retoumed.
On the 28th of June, came some men of O'Doherlyes, & lay in

ambush before Ellogh, the Ganison discouering them, fell out & skir-
misht, a litle of from the Castle; wee perceiued them from the Derry
to be in feight, I tooke 40 horse & 500 ffoote, and made towards
them; when they sawe vs coming they left the skirmish & drewe
away ; wee foUowed up as fast as wee could, & coming to the foote of
a mountaine, which they were to pass ouer in theire relreate, wee might
see them all march before vs, though but slowlie, yet with ias much
speede as they were able to make, being, to our grieffe, about 400 foote,
& 60 horse, & wee makeing as much hast on our partes to ouertake
them : By that time the last of them had obtained the topp of the hill :
Sr John Chamberlaine & I, wilh some 10 horse more, were come vpp
close in theire heeles,"'all our foote & the rest of our horse coming
after vs as fast as they could but all out of breath & exeedinglie
tired ; Hauing thus gained the very topp of the hill, & seeing but
fewe about me I stayed & badd a stand to be made till more Com
pany might come vjip, and withall casting my head about, to see how
our men followed, I seeing the foote farr behinde, & our horse but
slowlie Clyming vpp, twining about a gaine I might see sr John Cham
berlaine vnhorsed, lying on the ground a stone's cast before' mee, &
at least a Dozen hewing at him with theire Swordes, I presentlie gaue
forward to haJle rescued him, & my horse was shott in two places &
fell deade vnder mee, yet they forsooke him vpon it, & wee recouered
his hodie, but wounded with 16 woundes, & instantlie giving vp the
Ghost, wherevpon wee made a stand in the place, & staying till more
Companie came vp, wee brought him off, & suffered them to march
a way without further pursuite.
On the second of July I put 800 men into Boates & landed them
all Dunalong. Tyrone (as wee were tould) lying in Campe within two
myles of the Place, where I presenllie fell to raiseing a Forte, his men
came downe & skirmisht with vs all that day, but perceiuing the next,
wee were tilted & out of hope to be able to remoue vs, they rise vp
& left vs quiellie to doe what we would, where after I had made it
reasonablie defensible, I left Sr John Bowles in Garrison with 6 Com
panyes of Foote, & afterwards sent him 60 horse.
On the 14th of July came O'Donnell with a troupe of 60 horse,
& earely in the Morninge as our watcji was ready to be discharged,

fell vpon a Corpes de Guard of some 20 of our horse, but they de
fended themselues without loss, & orderUe relyred to the Quarter,
only Captaine John Sidney was hurte in the shoulder with the blowe of
a staffe. On the 29th of July he came againe with 600 Foote, & 60 Horse,
& lay close in ambiish in a valley within a quarter of a myle of our
outmost horse sentinells, & Moyle Morrogh Mac Swyndoe (a man
purposelie sent with mee by the state, & soe well esteemed of, as the
queene had giuen a Pention of vi. s. a day vnto during his life, & the
present Comaund of 100 EngUsh souldiers,) hauing inteUigence with
him, caused some of his men to goe a litle before Breake of Day,
& driue forth our horses, (that were vsually euery night brought
into the Hand to Graze) directlie towards him. In soe much as vpon the
sodaine before any thinge could be done to preuent it, he gott to the
number of 60 [160 ?] into his power, & presentlie made hast to be gone.
By the alarum, I rise vp from my Bedd, tooke some 20 horses, &
such foote as were readie, Bidd the rest follow, & soe made after
them. At fower myles end wee ouerlooke them, theire owne horses
kept in the reare flanked with foote, marching by the edge of a Bogge,
& those horse they had gott from vs, sent away before with the fore
most of theire foote ; when they sawe vs coihinge, they tumed heade
& made readie to receiue vs, wee charged them, & at the first en
counter I was stricken with a horseman's stafe in the Foreheade, in soe
much as I fell for deade, & was a goode while deprived of my sences :
Butt the Captaines & Gentlemen that were about mee, whereof the
cheife that I Remember were Captaine Anthony Elringlon, Captaine
John Sidney, Captaine John Kingsmyll, & Mathew Wroth, a Corporall
of my horse Companie) gaue beyond my Bodie, & enforced them lo
giue ground a good way by meanes whereof I recouered myselfe, was
sett vp on my horse & soe safelie brought of, & Conducted home,
& they sufferred with the prey they had gott to departe without fur
ther pursuite.
I kepte my Bedd of this wound by the space of a fortneth, my
chamber a weeke after, & then I came abroade, & the first thinge I
did, I tooke a viewe & parliculer muster of all the Companyes.
Howe weake I found them euen beyonnd expectation (though 1 had

noe man will denye, but it was euen then a strange. Companie, that of
150 in list could bring to doe seruice 25 or 30 able at the most.
Then did I alsoe manifestlie discouer the Trechery of the said
Moyle Monogh Mac Swynedo, [Mael-muire Mac Suibhne na d-Tuath,]
hauing intercepted the Messanger that he imployed to O'Donnell in all
his Bussines, out of whose mouth I gott a full Confession of all his
Practices, & especiallie that it was hee, that caused his men of purpose
to driue forth our horses, which he was so manifestlie convinced of as
hee had not the face to denie it, wherevpon I deliuered him to Cap
taine Flemminge, who was then going to Dublin, to carry to my lord
Deputie, there to receiue his tryall, who putting him vnder hatches in
his shipp, & himselfe coming to shoore with his Boate, the hatch
being opened to sett Beere, he stept vp vpon the Decke, & threwe
himselfe into the Riuer, and soe Swamme away to O'Cane's side,
which was hard by ; they in the shipp amazed with the soddaynenesse
of the fact, & doing nothing that tooke effect to prevent it.
. On the 24th of August came Roory brother to O'Cane, (hauing
before made his agreement wilh mee, to serue vnder Sr Arthur O'Neale)
& brought with him 12 horse, 30 foote, & 60 fatt Beeues, a Present
welcome at that time, for besides that fresh meate was then rare to be
had, our provisions in stoore were very neere spent; I gaue him therefore
a Recompence for them in money, & allowed him a small parte of
souldiers to goe forth againe, whoe returned the next day & brought
40 more. Annother small Pray hee sett againe within fewe dayes
after, & then thinking hee had gayned himselfe Credite enough, hee
came & demaunded 800 men to doe an enterprise withall, that sjiould
be (as he tould a very faire & probable tale for,) of fan greater im
portance & seruice to the Queene ; I had onlie the persuation of Sr
Arthur O'Neile (who I verylie thinke was a faithful & honnest Man,)
granted him some men, though not halfe the Number he askt, because
in truth I had them not. But before the time came they should sett
forth, Sr Arthur Jiad changed his opinion, & bad mee bewarre of
him; I stayed my hand therefore, & refused him the men. He appre
hended I did it out of distrust, & with many oathes & Protes
tations indeuored to perswade mee of his truth & fidelitie; But

.finding all would not prevaile, he desired I would suffer him to goe
¦ alone wilh such men of his owne as he had, & he would retourne
with such a testimonie of his honnestie, as I should neuer after haue
Cause to be doubtefuU of him more ; I was content, soe hee left mee
Pledges for his retourne, hee offered mee two that accepted of theire
owne accords to engage their Hues for it, & himselfe besids promised
it with a solemne oath taken vpon the Bible, soe I lett him goe ; The
next day hee came backe to the waterside right ouer against the towne
with 300 Men in his Companye, and hauing the Riuer betweene him
& vs, called to the souldiers on our side, & ,.bad them tell mee, he
was there returned according to promise ; But ment noe Longer to serue
against his owne Brother, & if for his Pledges I would accepte of a
Ransome of Cowes, he would send mee in what reasonable Number
I should demaund; But threatned If I tooke away their lines, there
should not an English man escape, that euer came within his danger j
This beuig presentlie brought vnto mee, & approved to be true by
Repetition, in myne own sight & hearing, I caused a Gibbett to be
straight sett vp, brought them forth, & hanged them before his face,
& it did afterwards manifestlie appeare, this man was of purpose sent
in from the very begining to betraye vs, & at this time he had laid
soe faire a Plolt, all was done by directions of Tyrone, who laye in
Ambush to receiue vs.
And now the winter beganne to be feirce vpon vs, our men wasted
wilh continuall laboures, the Hand scattered with Cabbins full of sicke
men, our Biskitt all spent, our other prouisions of nothing but Meale,
Butter, & a lille Wine, & that by Computation to hould out but
6 dayes longer. Tyrone and O'Donell, to weaken vs the more. Pro-
claming free passage & releife through theire Countrie to send them
away lo as many as would leaue vs and departe for England, our two
fortes, notwithstanding all the dilligence wee had beene able lo vse,
fane from the state of being defensible, O'Donell well obseriiing the
opporlunilie of this time, if his skill and Resolution had beene as
good to prosecute it to the full, on the 16th of September came with
2000 Men about Midnight vndiscouered to the very edge of the Bogge,
that divides the Hand from the mayne Lande, (for our horses were soe
weake & soe fewe, that we were not able to hould watch any further

out,) & there, being more then a good muskett shott of, they dis
charged theire peeces, whereby wee had warning enough (if neede had
beene) to put our seines in Armes at leysure. But there was not a Night
in many before wherein both myselfe & the Captaines satt not vp in
expectation of this attempt, and Captaine Thomas White hauing some
20 horse readie in Armes for all occasions, came presentlie & brauelie
Charged vpon the first that were now past ouer the Bogg & gott into
the Hand, kild about 14 or 15, whose bodies wee saw lying there the
next day, & the rest takeing a fright, confusedly relyred as fast as
they could, yet to make it seene they departed not in feare they kepte
thereabouts till the moming, & then assoone as it was broad day
Light, they made a faire Parade of themselues vpon the side of a hUl
full in our sight & soe marched away.
The very next day came in a supplie of victuells, very shorllie
after 50 newe horse, & shortelie after that againe 600 foote, &
withall because the lords had beene aduertized, the stoore-howses wee
erected at first of Deale boardes onelie were many wayes insufficient &
vnable to preserue the munitions & victuells in, they sent vs about
this time two frames of Timber for bowses, with most thinges necessarie
to make them vp withall, which they ordayned to supplie that defect
with & now alsoe where before the souldiers were enioyned to worke,
without other allowance then theire ordinarie pays. Theire lordships
vpon advertisment of the inconueniencie thereof (which in truth was
such, as doe what wee could the workes went but exceedingly slowlie
forward, & with very much difficult}'), I then receiued order to give
them an addition to theire wages (when they wrought vpon the fortifi
cations) of 4ds. a day, & soe wee were then in all thinges fuUie &
sufficientlie releeued.
On the third of October came in Neale Garvie O'Donell with 40
horse & 60 Foote, a man I was also directed by the state to winne to
the Queene's seruice, & one of equall estimation in Tyrconnell that
Sir Arthur O'Neale was of in Tyrone. The secreet messages that had
past betweene him & mee, hee found were discouered to O'Donnell, &
therefore somewhat sooner then otherwise he intended, & with less
assuraunce & hope of many Conditions that hee stood vpon ; yet it is
true, I promised him in the behalfe of the Queene, the whole Countrey

246 docwra's narration.
of Tirconnell to him & his heires, & my lord Deputie & Councell at
Dublin did afterwards confirme it vnto him vnder theire hands, & his
Coining in was very acceptable att that time, & such as wee made
many vses of, & could ill haue spared.
The next day after hee came, wee drewe forth our forces, & made
a iourney to the Isle of Inche, where, by his information, wee had
learned there was a good Prey of Cattell to be gott; But the tides fall
ing out extraordinarie high, wee were not able to pass them to gett in,
so as wee were forced to tume our Course, & goe downe into O'Dogh-
erlie's Countrie, though to litle purpose ; for knowing of pur coming,
hee draue away all before vs, onelie some stacks of Corne wee found,
which wee sett on fire.
The Sth of October I assigned vnto the said Neale Garvie 500
foote & 30 horse, vnder the leading of Sr John Bowles, to goe to
take the Liffer, where 30 of O'Donnell's men lay in Garrison in a Forte
in one of the Corneres of the towne, & most of them being abroad
when they came, were surpriced & slaine, & the place taken, yet
soe as one bf them had first putt fire into the Forte, which consumed
all the Buildings in it, but the rest of the Howses scattered abroade
in the towne (which were about 20) were preserued & stood vs after-
Wards in singuler good steade.
O'Donell having heard of the takeing of this Place, came on the
xith of October with 700 foote & 100 horse, & encamped himselfe
about 3 myles off at Castle Fyn. The next day he came & shewed
himselfe before the Towne ; our Garrison made out, had a skrimish
with him of an houre longe, wherein Neale Garuie behaved himselfe
Brauelie. Capten Augusteu Heath tooke a light hurte in his hand,
& some ten or twelve Men on ech side were slaine.
On the 24th he came againe & laide himselfe in ambush a myle
from the towne, watching to intercept our men Fetching in of turfe,
which before our Coming the Irish had made for theire owne provision.
The Alarme taken, the Garrison made forth againe, & Neale Garvie
behaued himselfe brauelie as before, charged home vpon them, killed
one, hurt one or two more with his owne hande, & had his horse slaine
vnder him. Captaine Heath tooke a shott in the thigh, whereof he
shortelie after died, & some twenty more there were hurte & slaine.

docwra's narration. 247
On the 28th of October dyed Sr Arthur O'Neale of a fevour, in
whose place came presentlie after one Cormocke, a brother of his, that
clamed to succeed him as the next of his kinne, & had in that name
good entertainments from the Queene ; But shortelie after came his owne
sonne, Tirlogh, that was indeed his true & imediate heire, whome
the state accepted of & admitted to inherite all the fortune & hopes
of his father. Hee had not attained to the full age of a man, &
therefore the seruice he was able to doe was not greate, but some vse
wee had of him, & I think his disposition was faithfuU and honnest.
All this whUe after Liffer had beene taken, O'DoneU kept vp &
downe in those parts, watching stUl to take our men vpon some advan
tage, but finding none, & hearing two Spanish shipps that were come
into Calebegg [Killybegs] with Munition, Arms, & Money, on the lOth
of November he departed towards them, & betweene Tirone & him
they made a Dividend of it.
After hee was gone, the Garrison both heere & at Dunalong sett
diners Preys of CatlOj & did many other seruices all the winter
longe, which I stand not vpon to make parliculer mention of, & I must
confess a truth, all by the help & advise of Neale Garvie & his
Followers, & the other Irish that came in with Sr Arihur O'Neale,
without whose intelligence & guidance lille or nothing could haue
beene done of" our selues, although it is true withall they had theire
owne ends in it, which were always for priuate Revenge, & we ours to
make vse of them for the furtherance of the Publique seruice.
And nowe came a practice of O'Donell's to open a discouverie,
which had long beene mannaged in secret, & as he thought. Carried
Close within the Compass of his owne & his associats' knowledge ;
Captaine Alford, that had the keeping of Culmore, fell into priuate
familiarilie with Hugh Boy and Phelim Reogh (of the Septs of Mac
Dauids), two Principall men about O'Doghertie, & of as good Credite
& estimation with O'Donell. These men requested lo haue leaue to
buy AquavitsB, Cloath, and such other Comodities as that place afforded,
which the Captaine and I, hauing our ends in it as well as they theires,
gaue them free Ubertie to doe, & with more free access then any
other. They measuring theire hopes by theire good entertainement,
of all presentlie aboard him to knowe if hee would sell the Foarte,

248 , docwra's narration.
Hee seamed not vnwilling, soe he might be assured of some good &
reall reward in hand; Many Meetinges & Consultations they had
about it, & all wilh my knowledge. In the end it was resolued his
Reward should be a Chaine of Gould in hand, which the Kinge of
Spaine had formerlie' giuen to O'Donell, &was worth aboute 8 scoore
poundes, a 1000 Ir. in money the first day the Treason should be ef
fected, & 3000 Ir. a yeare pention during his life, from the Kinge of
Spaine; & for this he should onelie deliuer vpp the Foarte, with
Neale Garvie in it, whome he should purposlie invite that Night to
Supper. The time was sett & all thinges prepared ; the Chaine, as a
reall achiument of theire designe, I had deliuered into my handes ; But
when the day came, they tooke a dislast, & without aduenlure of
future loss, were contented to giue ouer theire bargaine. And about
Christenmas this yeare dyed Sr Johu O'Doghertie in Tirconnell, being
fledd from his owne Countrey with his goods & people, a man that
in shewe seamed wonderfuU desireous to yeald his obedience to the
Queene, But soe as his actions did euer argue he was otherwise minded ;
But, it is true, O'Donell had at our first coming Ceazed his sonne, after
wards called Sr Cahir O'Doghertie into his hands, & kepte him as a
Pledge vpon him which might iustly serue for some colour of excuse,
that he was not at libertie to vse the freedom of his owne will ; Being
nowe deade, O'Donell sett vp in his place one Phelim Oge, a brother
of his, neglecting the sonne who had bene bredd & fostred by the
said Hugh Boye & Phelim Reangh. These men tooke it as the
highest iniurie [that]*could be done vnto them, that theire Foster ChUd
should be depriued of that, which they thought was his cleere & vn-
doubtible right, & therevpon seriouslie addressed themselves vnlo Mee,
and made offer, that in case I would maintaine the sonne against the
Uiicle, & Procure he might hold the Countrey, according to the same
Lettres Patients his faiher had it before him, they would worke the
meanes to free him out of O'Donell's hands, lo bring home the People
& Catle that were fledd, & with them togeather wilh themselues, yeald
obedience & seruice to the slate; many messages & meetin<Jes wee
had aboul il, & none but to my knowledge ; O'Donell was sliU made
acquainted with, yea & with the i-ery truth of euery parliculer speach
that past amongst vs ; yet soe was he deluded (being himselfe a Craflo

docwra's narration. 249
Master at that arte), that in the end a Conclusion was made betweene
vs, theire demands were graanted by mee, & confirmed by my lord
Deputie & Councell, hee perswaded to sett the young man at libertie ;
& when he had done, the people with theire goods retourned into the
Countrie, took theire Leaues of him, & declared themselues for our
side, & from that day forward wee had many faithfuU & singuler
good seruices from them, theire Churles & Garrans assistinge vs with
Carnages, their catle, with plentie of fishe meate, & Hugh Boye
& Phelim Reaugh wilh many intelligences & other helpes ; without
all which, I must freelie confess a truth, it had beene vtterlie impossible
wee could haue made that sure & speedie Progress in the Warres that
afterwardes wee did.
But therevpon begune Neale Garvie's discontentment, for presentlie
he directed some men of his to be cessed vpon this Countrey ;
O'Doghertie & Hugh Boy with greate indignation refused to accept
them. Complainte came before mee; I asked him wherevpon il was that
hee challenged this power ouer annother man's laud ; he tould inee
the land was his owne, for the Queene had giuen him all Tyrconnell,
& this was part of it ; I aunswered it was true, I know well the whole
Countrey of Tyrconnell was promised him in as large & ample manner
as the O'Donnells had beene accustomed to hould it : But I tooke it
there were many others in that Countrey, that had lands of their owne
as well as they, whose intrest I neuer conceiued was intended to be
giuen to him ; Hee replied not onelie the Countrey of Tyrconnell, but
into Tyrone, Farmanaght, yea & Connaught, wheresoeuer any of the
O'Donnells had at that time extended theire Power, hee made Accompt
all was his; hee acknowledged noe other kinde of right or intrest in
any man else, yea the very persons of the People he challenged to be
his, & said he had wronge, if any one foote of all that land, or any
one of the Persons of the People were exempted from him. I saide
againe these Demaunds were in my Judgement very vnreasonable, but
hee should receive noe wronge by Mee ; Let him haue Patience till wee

most could be challenged vpon the O'Doghertyes was but a chiefe Rent,
sometimes paide to O'Neale, some times to O'Donnell ; but that what
soeuer it were, they were of opinion was extinct euer since they held
imedialelie from the Crowne, if Neale Garvie thought otherwise, his
reasons should be heard with fauour when time should serue, & noe
parte of that was promised him but, should be made good ; In the mean
while he must be Contented, O'Doughertye must & should be ex
empted from him, which hee tooke with a greate deale more indignation
&. furie then became a man that was to raise his fortune onelie by the
fauour of annother.
But the Springe coming now on, & having the helpe of this Coun
trey for Carriages, towards the latter end of March I drewe Forth &
made a iourney vpon mac Swyne Fanaght, whose Countrie lyes diuided
from O'Dogherlye's by a Bay of the sea, I came vpon him vnawans,
& surprised & gott into my possesion about 1000 of his Cowes
before hee had Leasure to driue them away ; Himselfe came vnto Mee
vpon jt, & desired his submission to the Queene might be accepted
of, & vsed the mediation of O'Dogherlye & Hugh Boy, that I
would restore him the Prey, much enlreatie & importunilie I was
prest withall, & thinking wilh myselfe it might be a goode Example to
such others as I should afterwards haue occasion to deale wilh, that I
Sought not theire goods soe much as theire obedience (reserving a parte
onelie for reward of the souldiers' labour,) I was contented & gaue
him backe the rest, taking his oath, for his future fidelitie, & six
- pledges such as I was aduised to choose, & was home in hand were
very sufficient tO' binde him, & whereof his owne sonne was one ; &
to have a lye on him besids, I left Captaine Ralph Bingley, with his
Company of 160 Men in Garrison in his Countrey, att the Abbay of
RamuUan ; It'is true for all that, not long after, without Compulsion,
he made his ReconcUiation with O'Donnell vnder hand promised
to betray the Garrison that lay vpon him, & secreetlie wrought lo
gett his Pledges out of my hand : But fayling in both, & yet, resolued
to goe on his Course, he draue away all his Catle & goods, & openlie
declared himselfe an Enymy against vs; In revenge whereof I presentlie
hunge vpp his Pledges, & in September following made annother
iourney vpon him, burnt & destroyed his houses and Corne, wherevpon

Winter approaching insued the death of most of his People, & in De
cember after, at the earnest enlreatie of Neale Garuie, I tooke his Sub
mission againe & sixe more Pledges, & from that forward he continewed
in good subiection.
In the beginning of Aprili I made another iourney vpon them of
Sleught-art, a People that inhabited a Countrey in Tyrone of 16
myles longe, most parte Bogg & wood, & bordering not fan of from
the Liffer, where onelie I had by Neale Garuie's meanes Castle-Derg
deliuered into my hands, which I left Captaine Dutton in garrison in
with his Companie of 100 Men.
And then wee rested at home in expectation of a Supplie of Men from
England against Sommer, for nowe were those wee had exceedinglie
Wasted & decayed.
In the mean while O'Donell meditating a Revenge vpon Hugh Boy
& O'Doughertie, & rightlie consideringe the advantage of the time,
& the glorie & profitt he might gett to himselfe, & the dishonnor
& loss he should bring vpon vs, if yet he could shew himselfe master
of this Countrey, & be able to Prey it in dispite of our Protection,
determined to make all the preparation hee could for that purpose, and
had gathered togeather a faire & sufficient Armye (as he thought) to
execute his designe withall ; My care was as greate to Prevent him ; I
haue seene a Mapp of that Countrey, made by hand, by which it would
appeare plaine to any man's, viewe how this bussines was Carried; But
for that which is ancient &; Comon, it giues noe light at all, for it is
vtterlie false, & hath not soe much as the Resemblance of the true
situation of those partes ; But pre-supposinge a sight of the belter ;
in that place where the two Bayes of the sea that encompass it for the
most parte, come to meete some what neere togeather, the distance o'
the land betweene them is about 6 myles broade, in a manner all
Bogge, wilh a riuer passinge through from one side to the other, &
not passable for horse nor any Numbers of foote, excepte in 8 or 6
Places, where there are certaine narrow foards of water to goe through.
At one ofthe ends of this Necke of Land, stands an old broken Castle)
called Coelmackatren, at the other an old fforte, called Cargan ; into
this, with a litle newe dressing, I put Captaine Thomas Badby, with
his Companie ; in the other Captaine Edmond Leigh, Vpon euery of

the ffords I erected a small fforte, that held 20 Men a Peece, such of
the people as I suspected I sente for & kepte as Pledges, the goodes,
which chiefelie consisted of Catle, h were, I thinke, about 3000
Cowes, I caused to be driuen to the further end next towardes Scotland,
where a Peece of ground was invironed with Sea able to Containe them
at large for 3 or 4 dayes, the passage wherevnto by land was nar-
rowe, & had an old ruined forte standing in it, which maimed as well
without as within made it of a difficulte entrie : Heerevpon the first
alarum, I gaue order the Catle should be driuen, & this place did
Hugh Boy & his brother vndertake to defend, wilh the aide of 200
English by the Powle, which were selected out of all the Companyes,
& sent vnder the Comaund of Captaine Humphrey WUlis; All
thinges thus prepared on our side, O'Donell wilh his Army came
& encamped, a mile from Cargan aforesaide, & seeing how I had
fortefied the Passages, would not atlempie to force any of them, but
stayed att Least a weeke, makeing Heurdells out of a small Coppice
thereabouts, & in the Night brought them vpon his Men's Backes, laide
them in a place out of reach of our forts, & soe on the 7th of May.
1601 made his passage both for horse & foote ouer them, vvhich noe
sooner had beene done, but his men shooted for ioye, as thinking them
selues most assured of theire prey ; But when they found all driuen
before them, & that he came downe to the Bottome of the Countrie,
where he sawe our English ioyned with the Natiues, readie to defend
the Place, with the Catle behinde them, hee made a stoppe & en
camped close before them, the next day gaue an assail, & was repul
sed, attempted againe, & sawe 40 of his men slaine, then out of hope
to doe good, trussed vp Baggage, & not one Cowe rilcher then hee
came in, made his relreate backe againe. Going out hee past by Coel
mackatren vpon the stronde, al a dead lowe water, where our Men had
a lille skrimish with him, vnder succor of the Castle, & where I came
wilh some fewe horse & foote to see what Countenance hee held in his
departure ; Being cleane past I sawe his men drawe into Battaile, & I
thinke that noe man that sawe them aswell as 1, but will confess thev
were not fewer then 1500 ; Phelim Reagh in Ihis assail that was giuen

to the Queene's seruice.
The very same day they past away by Coelmackatren, the shipps
were discouered to the mouth of Loughfoile that brought vs a new sup
plie of 800 men.
Then on the 24th of May I drewe two Iron peeces to Newtowne, a
Castle in Tyrone, 6 myles distant from the Liffer in the way to Don-
gannon ; this I beate vpon all one day, & the next morning had it de
liuered vp; It is a Pile of stone strong & well. built, with an Iron
Gate & Chaine att the doore, it hath before it a large Bawne compast
with a good high Stone wall, & in the middest of it a fairie Irish thacht
house, able to hould 50 or 60 men in it. Heere I left Captaine Roger
Atkinson in Ganison with his Companie of 100 men, & because one of
the cheifest vses wee intended these Garrisons for was to make suddaine
Inroades vpon the Countrey, to Spoyle & pray them of theire Catle,
& that impossible to be done without intelligence & Guidance of
some of the Natiues, I left to assist him in that kinde one Tirlogh Ma-
gnylson, a man that came in with Sr Arthur O'Neale, that had often
guided our men before in like seruices, & had gayned himselfe a great
deale of loue & reputation amongst vs, & had now the Comaund
of 100 Irish by my lord Deputies allowance; I gaue speciall charge,
he should be lodged cleane without the Bawne, & notwithstanding aU
his Credite a warry & circumspect Eye should be Canied vpon him.
About the 20th of June, I brought the Demy Cannon I had, to Ai-
nogh, a Castle of OCaines, standing in a lough, not much aboue a myle
from the Derrey, but the riuer betweene, wilh which I beate vpon it, the
first day a good distaunce of, & did lille good, but at night wee drewe
the Battery within 80 pase, & the next morninge wee founde the
ward was runne out-of it. Heere I receiued lettres from my lord Depu
ty, propounding to my choise, by way of discourse, two mayne seruices
to spend this sommer vpon, the one the takeing of Ballyshannon, the
other the meeting him at Blackwater, for Ballyshannon I had many
reasons to refuse il, for the 'other imagyning noe^ impediment but the
want of powder, perhappes, because I knewe in the takeing of these
Castles a greate deale had beene spente, I called the Clarke of the mu
nition to Mee, & asked him howe he was stoored of Powder, hee tould

mee hee had 60 Barrells ; I _was fullie satisfied in my minde, I enquired
noe further. But returned my aunswere. In any parte of Tyrone, I should
be readie to meete him, wheresoeuer hee pleased.
The 19lh of July at the Derrey, I receiued two lettres togeather, one
dated the 9th, the other the I4th ofthe same Moneth, by the first I
was willed to prepaire myselfe to this iourney, by the second to make
hast a waye, because his lordship was there & expected Mee ; I pre
senile gaue order the Companies .should drawe to Liffer, & come fur
nished with Munition; word was brought mee they could gett noe Match;
I called for the Clarke, & asked him the Reason, hee tould mee hee
had il not; noe, said I, did yow not tell Mee the other day, yow had 60
Barrells ? I tould yow, saide hee, that I had 60 BarreUs of Powder &
soe I had, but of Match yow asked mee nothing ; I demaunded if a
Bairell of Match were not alwayes sent as a due Proportion to a Banell
of Powder, hee Confest it was, & ought to be soe, but much of that
came hee saide, was rotten, & much had beene wasted, soe as nowe
hee had it not ; I asked him why hee tould mee not soe much, when I
^pake of it the other day, hee said because my question, was of powder
onelie & nothing of Match. Captaine Humphrey Covert was then go
ing for England, I examined him in his presence, & desired he would
be a witness, to what hee sawe & heard, badd him send to all the Gar
risons for that hee had, & bring it togeather to the Liffer, when he
had soe done, there was but 6 Banells of it in all, & they short to,
of that they ought to Containe, I then propounded to the ancientesl of
the Captaines, what they would advise mee to doe, to faile my lord I
sawe myselfe iustlie ly open to a greate deale of Reprochfull Censure,
to ingage the Army with soe greate a want, how might I aunswere it;
They gaue theire oppinions, subscribed with theire handes, the proportion
was a greate deale to litle to gett forth withall, for they knewe ODonnell,
& all the Countrey thereabouts were alreadie assembled to attend
vs, & by all likeliehood would prouoke vs to skrimish by the way, &
it was better to incurre any Censure of the world whatsoeuer, then to
expose soe many Men to be a Butt onelie for theire Enymyes to shoot
all ; Therevpon I sent Leiuetenant Goordon to my lord with lettres, de
claring the accident, desireing suspension of Judgement tUl truth might
be fuUie examined, & offening vpon perill of my life to come yett to

the place, soe afterwardes, his lordship would furnish mee to relume
againe. His aunswere was this, your wants are small in shewe, in substance
greate, how this will be taken in England, that yow made them not
knowne before the instant when it was impossible to supplie them,
it behoues yow to looke vnto, for mee, I must confess yow haue much de-
ceiued my expectation, but I will not aduise yow to doe anythinge, with
the Queene's Army that is not warrantable by good reason, neither trust
vpon Mee to helpe yow heere, for I ame not able, but if you can, take
some other oppurtunitie of seruice to make amends withall.
Now had O'DonneU, O'Caine, Cormocke mac Baron, & all the
Cheifes of the Countrie thereabout made all the forces they were able,
to attend the issue of this intended Meeting of my lord and Mee, and
had drawne themselues togeather about Corrnocke mac Barron's country,
where they might be readie to fall vpon either of vs, as they should
see theire best advantage ; & conferring wilh Neale Garuie, I then
found by O'Donnell's absence, the countrie behinde him was left without
gaurd, the Abbay of Dunnagall was kepte onelie by a fewe fryers,
the situation of it close to the Sea, & very Convenient for many
seruices, especiallie for a stepp lo take Ballyshannon with, which was
a worke, the manifould attempts & chargeable Preparations the.Queene
had been att to accomplish, & my lord himselfe had soe latelie aymed
att, & valued equall to this other of meeting him at Blackwater, did
argue would be of speciall importance & good acceptation ; I con
cluded therefore, & sent him away (the said Neale Garvie) with 600
English souldiers to put themselves into this place, which they did on
the 2nd of August.
On the 6th of Augusi I receiued a supplie of 200 Bimdells of Match
from Sir Arthur Chichester from Knockfergus, & my lord hauing
shorllie after performed at Blackwater what his intentions were, accord
ing to the opportunitie of that time, withdrewe his Army ; And then
O'Donnell with those forces he had, relumed & laide seige to these
men which Continewed at least a" moneth, & in the meane time on the
19th of September, the Abbay tooke fire, by accident or of purpose, I
could neuer learne, but burnt it was, all saue one Comer, into which
our men made Relreate, & through the middest of the fire were
forced to remoue their Provisions of victuell & the very barrells of

256 docwra's narration.
Powder they had in stoore Captain Lewis Oriell comanded in cheife;
The face of this night's worke (for the fire beganne in the Eueninge) is
easUie to .imagination to behould, O'Donnell's men assayling, & ours
defendinge, the one with as much hope, the other with as good a
resolution, as the accident on the one side, & the necessitie on the
other gaue occasion for; The next day when the fflame was spent,
& that it appeared our men had gott a Corner of the house, which
nowe stood by itselfe, & out of Danger to be further annoyed by the
fire, O'Donnell sent Messengers of sumons vnto them, offered them
faire Conditions to departe, tenified them wilh his strength, & theire
impossibilitie to be releeved ; but all in vaine, theire passage to the
sea was still theire owne, by land they sent mee word of theire estate
& violenllie repelled his Messenger ; Heere againe I must confess
Neale Garvy behaued himselfe deservinglie, for though I had at thai
time many informations against him, that could not but breed some
iealousies of his fidelitie ; yet wee sawe he Continewed to the last,
tooke such parle as our men did, had many of his men slaine at this"
seige, & amongst the rest a brother of his owne.
Togeather with the Newes of this accident, came annother that
Newtowne was betrayed by Tirlogh Magnylson ; This man hauing the •
Night before guyded our Men to the fetching of a Prey, came the next
day & dyiied with the Caplane, inliced him to walke forth vpon the
greene before the howse, lead him purposlie as fane as he could, &
on the suddaine, with the helpe of 3 or 4 of his men, that followed
him, Ceized him theire Prisoner, ati the same instant two others had
gott in vpon the Cenlynell al the Caslle-doore, & the rest att the
Bawne-gate suddenlie brake in, fell vpon the Souldiers, lying in the
Irish thatched house & put them euery man lo the Sword.
And in like manner and vpon the same day was Captaine Dutton
alsoe Betrayed at Castle Derreg, saue that the souldiers lives weere
onelie saued.
Ffor these losses there was noe reamidy for the present, for Dunna
gall I had before sent them provisions by sea which came to them, in
due time, & in a reasonable manner supplied most of theire wants,
for the rest I could doe nothing but encourage them to hould il, &
assured them to come to theire aide soe soone as they should stande
in neede it.

But now came the newes of the Spanyards arrivall at Kinsaile,
whereupon O'Donnell brake upp the seige, to march towards them.
Tyrone made hast the same way, and soe alsoe did rny lord Deputie,
and it is true, the Countrey was nowe left voide and noe powerful!
Enymy to encounter withall more then the Rivers, and the difficulties
of the passage of the wayes.
And then, finding a fitt opportunitie for it, I fraim'd a iourney vpon
O'Caine, soe as I entred vpon him two wayes at once Captaine Roger
Orme with 2000 Men past ouer at Greene-Castle in O'Dogherlye's
Countrie by boate, & I with the rest of the forces drewe vp to the
Cannon, a wood that streacheth all a long the front of his Countrey as
yow pass into it from the Derrey thowrough which was a pase guarded
at that time by Rorie O'Caine wilh 300 Men, (of whose trecherie
mention is made before). This man comes with 40 horse, & brand
it a quarter of a myle before his strength Edmond Groome, a brother
to Hugh Boy & Phelim Reagh, steppes out to encounter him. Roory
slipps of from his horse, & beganne to runne away on foote, the
other alights and pursues him, catches him by the Collor, & in veiwe
of vs all bringes him backe, & delivers him to mee. I badd the
Souldiers presentlie kill him, & soe without any greate resistaunce
wee entred into the Countrey, which wee found large & full of howses
& Corne ; we diuided our selfes, one halfe toward the Band, one other
half went forthright, & Captaine Orme tooke all alonge the sea shoore
& sett a Compass about soe as at night wee melt allogealher and
encamped in the middest of the Countrey, ech severail troupe hauing
fired the houses & Corne they melt withall, which I neuer sawe in
any place in more aboundance. The next day wee diuided our selues
againe, wasted what wee found more, tooke some Cowes, but very many
sheepe & other small Catle, & with much Pillage, which the
Souldiers loaded themselues withall. Discerning nowe that the weather
inclyning to a thawe, (for at first it was a hard frost,) [wee] made home
ward, & with much adoe could attaine to repass those Riuers, which
wee found dry in a inanner when wee first came in.
And now being earnesfUe called vpon for a supplie of victuells by
them at Dunnagall, (the second shipping I had sent about for that
purpose, being kept backe with foule weather,) I tooke vp Garrons in
17

258 docwra's narration.
O'Doghertie's Countrey, loaded them with salle & Biskett, & with
100 Beeues went ouer the mountaines, most parte on foote, the wayes
were soe rotten, & on the 12lh day of December brought them releife ;
& because I sawe that litle pyle reserued from the rage of the fire too
small a greate deale to containe a large & important Ganison, I
remoued parle of them, & added two Companys moore to ly at
Ashrowe, an Abbay 10 myles further, & not aboue a quarter of a
Myle distant from BaUyshannon ; left Captaine Edward Digges, the
Sergiant Maior to Commaund there, tooke a viewe of the Castle,
promised as soone as I came home to send him the Demy cannon,
which before I had taken Ainogh wilhallj gaue -my oppinion howe he
should proceede in the vse of it, tooke oath & pledges of the cheife
of the Inhabitants thereabouts, & soe returned. By the way I was
a lille stopped by the passage of the waters, & before I came home,
the Newes ouerlooke Mee of the Lord Depulie's happie victorie att
Kinsaile, of Tyrones flight and returning homewards, & of O'DoneU's
departure to Sea to goe into Spaine. I sent away the Cannon assoone
as I came home, & on the 20lh of March il anived there, & on the
25th (being the first day of the yeare 1602) was that long desired place
taken by the said Captaine Digges, wilh less then a tenth parle of that
charge which would haue beene willingUe bestowed vpon it, & the Con
sequence thereof brought many furtherances lo the gennerall seruice.
And now had I a good while before entertayned a partie, that vnder-
tooke to deliuer mee Tirlogh Magnylson (that betrayed the Castle of
Newtowne) togeather with as many of his men as were GuUtie of that
bloodie treason, either deade or aliue. They protracted time as I
thought, yet it was not full 4 moneths, after they had vndertooke it,
before they had kild many of his People as they trauelled single vp
& downe in the Countrey, & noe man knewe who did it, some of
them alsoe came into my hands aliue, whome I caused the Souldiers
to hewe in peeces with theire swordes ; & nowe at last hee himselfe
alsoe was lighted vpon ; His custome was alwayes (for feare of betray
ing) lo goe forthe alone in the Eueninge, & in some old house or
other in the wood, kindle a fire, & make as though he ment to lye
there, after a while remoue & doe as much in annother, & soe from
house to house 3 or 4 times, or more perhapps as his minde gaue him.

A Boy was sent to watch him, who often brought these Men word where
hee was, but stUl when they came Ihey missed, & found hee was
gone to some other place, yet in the end hee dogged him soe close,
that after divers remoues, hee lookt in & sawe him pull of his trowses,
& ly downe to sleepe, then came, & tould them of it, & fower of
them togeather armed with Swordes, Targetts, and Munions, fell in
vpon him, hee ^at up his- Sword for all that, & gaue such a Gash in
one of theire Targetts as would seame incredible to be done with the
arme of a Man, bul they dispacht him & brought mee his heade the
next day, which was presentlie knowne to euery Boy in the Armey,
& made a ludibrious Spectacle to such as listed to behould it. I gaue
them a good some of money in hand for theire Reward, & promised,
the wans ended, they should enioy such landes as they & theire
Septe had beene accustomed to dwell vpon, & assurance of favour &
protection from the state.
Tirlogh, alsoe, the sonne of Sir Arthur O'Neale, procured mee the
Castle againe, onelie desiring whensoeuer the Garrison, I would put in
it, should be withedrawne, it might not be deliuered inlo any Man's
handes but his, as being a parcell of his owne peculier & Palrimonall
landes, which I failhfuUie promised him it should not.
Ffor them of Sleught Art alsoe that betrayed Captaine Dutton, I
brought them to come in & profess theire obedience by oath, &
deliuery of Pledges, which nolh wilhstandinge they afterwardes brake,
& I sett them in againe, wilh the most profound execrations vpon
themselues, if they continewed not true, that the tongue of Man was
able to express, & yet for all that they flewe out againe, & all the
reamidie I could haue, was to wast & spoile theire Countrey, &
destroy theire people, which I did with all the extremitie I could, &
yet the two cheife of them which were the Ringleaders of the rest, doe
what I could escaped with theire lines & kepte vp and downe in the
woods euen till Tyrone was taken to Mercie, & they particulerlie
pardoned with him, by my lord Deputyes express Comaund.
On the 20lh of Aprili, I made an agreement with Caue Ballogh
[Cumhaighe BallachJ ihac Rickard a Cheife Gentleman in O'Caine 's
countrie who deliuered mee the Castle of Dongevin, situate neere vpon
the Glinnes, & about 18 myles wide from the Deney; the warres
ended I gaue my word that it should be restored againe.

260 docwra's narration.
In May, I receiued diners lettres from my lord Deputie, all in dis
course about his intent of coming that sommer to Blacke water againe,
where hee willed I should prepare myselfe to meete him ; And the
lords from England had now sent vs annother supplie of 800 men,
that landed att Derrey about the latter ende of this Moneth.
And soe on the 16tli day of June, from Liffer I sett forth to meete
him ; But when wee had Marched two dayes, & lay in Campe att
Terwin Mac Guirck, I vnderstoode hee would not be readie till 6 dayes
after, thereupon I returned backe, & hauing discouered by myne
Eye as I past by it the day before, that Omy was a place easie to be
fortefied, & stood convenient for many vses, to leaue a Garrison in,
I made it Defensible with fower dayes' labour, & left Captaine Edmond
liOigh solye in it, on the 26 th I sett forward againe, & encamped 4
Myles shorte from Dongannon, & going forth wilh some horse to
discouer, I mett with my lord's skowts that Conducted mee that night
to his Campe.
The next day Sir Arthur Chichester came ouer at Lough Sidney,
I Lough Neagh] & landed 1000 Men at that place, where he presentlie
erected a fforte, which had afterwards the name giuen it of Mountioy,
& my lord hauing gayned his passage before and erected annother at
Blackwater, which he called by the name of Charie Mounte, the axe was
nowe at the roote of the tree, & I may well say, the Necke of the Re
bellion as good as vtterlie broken, for all that Tyrone was afterwardes
able to doe, was but to saue himselfe in places of difficult access vnlo.
Ten dayes (as I remember,) I stayed with his lordship in these partes,
assisting him to spoyle & wast the Countrey, which he indeuored by
all the meanes hee could possible lo doe, & then my prouision of
victuell spent hee gaue mee leaue to retourne, with order to be in a
readines againe to meete him about a Moneth after.
I was noe sooner come home to the Deney, But O'Caine sent Mee
an offer of his submission, I acquainted my lord withall, hee bad mee
dispatch & make shorte wilh him, that wee might be the readier for
a Mayne Prosecution vpon Tyrone : soe on the 27lh of July, wee came
to a full agreement, the substaiince whereof was this ( Countersigned

should be aUolted for maintenance of a Garrison at the Band, the rest
he should haue her Maiestie's lettres Patients for, to hould to him &
his heires. These Conditions my lord acknowledged to be better then
hee looked for, approued them vnder his hand, promised mee the in-

Custodium of it vnder the Exchequer Seale, & him the like of the
rest, then wrote vp to mee, to drawe vp to the Omy, to wast all the
Countrie I could thereabouts, & there to attend him against hee sent
vnto Mee againe.
On the lOlh of August I came thither, & Hugh Boy, coming
after mee the next day, was sett vpon & slaine by a partie of loose
fellowes that fell vpon him by chaunce ; A man whome I found faithfuU
& honnest, let Enuie & Igiioraunce say what they will to the Con
trarye. Hee left three brothers behinde him, Phelime Reaugh, Edmonde
Groome, & Shaine Cron ; they were all men of very good parts, &
deserued a better Countenance at least from the state then my Creditt
was able to procure them, which if they had had, & those Courses
forborne that Phelime Reaugh was vext withall, by parliculer Persons,
vpon no sufficient ground of reason, that I ame wittnes to, theire lines
had perhappes beene preserued to this day, & a better pppinion con
ceiued of vs in -gennerall then is, by the rest of that Nation. Let noe
man Censure mee a misse for this kinde of saying ; for I hould it a
sinne to Conceale a truth where I ame interested & haue occasion to
speake it.
Being heere, & knowing my lord was not yet readie to take the
feild, I was tould by Irish Guides of a prey that in theire opinion was
easilie to be sett out of Cormocke mac Baron's Countrey, & I liked
theire reasons soe well, that I resolued to giue an attempte for it. Soe
I tooke out 400 foote & 60 horse, & sett forth in the eueninge &
Marcht all Night; by breake of the day wee found it was gone further
then they made accompte of, & loath to retourne Empiie, wee fol
lowed il till wee were at least 3 myle from home, Captaine Edmond
Leigh that Comaunded the vaunt Guard, with a fewe light horse &
foote in the ende ouerlooke il gaurded by Cormocke himselfe, whome he
presenllie charged & beale away ; then went in & gathered about

262 docwra's narration.
400 Cowes togeather, & brought them to vs where wee made a stande
wilh the Mayne forces. Wee were then all exceeding wearie, & there
fore finding howses at hand, satt downe & rested our selues a while.
After wee risse, & had marched about three Myle, wee might discerne
troupes of Men gathered togeather in Armes. drawing towards a wood
which wee must pass thorowgh, to possess themselues of it before vs.
I then allighted, sent away my horse, & put myselfe in the Rere,
badd the rest of the horse with a fewe foote & the Prey make hast
& gett thorowgh as fast as they Could, & soe they did before there
came downe any greate Numbers vpon them; Upon vs that came after
with the foote, they fell wilh a Crye, & all the tenour they were
able to make, skirmisht wilh shott, till all our Powder on both sides
were spehte ; then came to the sword & Push of Pike, & still as wee
beale them off, they would relyre, & by & by come vpon vs againe.
These kindes of assaults I thinke I may safelie say, they gaue us at
least a dozen of; yet in the end wee canyed our selues cleere out, came
to a place where our horse made a stand vpon a faire large, & hai-d
peece of ground. There wee put ourselues into order of Battaile,
drewe forth againe & Marched away; they stoode in, the edge of the
woode, & gaue vs the lookeing on, but offered to follow vs noe fur
ther ; soe we. lodged quiellie that Night, & the next day came home
to Omy where wee diuided our Prey, withein 20 of the full Number of
400 Cowes, & found wanting of our Men about 25. The pase we
went through was a good Myle longe, the wood high Oaken Timber,
with some Coppice amongst it, & most of the wayes nothing but dirte
& myre. O'Doghertie was with vs, alighted when I did, kept mee
companie in the greatest heale of the feight, beheaued himselfe brauelie,
& wilh a great deale of loue & affection, all that day, which at
my next meeting wilh my lord, I recommended him for, & he gaue
him the honnor of knighthoode in recompence of; And so of the Cap
taines & officers, there was not one bul was well putt to it, & had
none other meanes to quitt himselfe b}', bul his owne Valour ; And these
I can nowe call to Remembrance were Captaine Leigh, Captaine Badby,
Captaine Ralph Bingley, Captaine John Sidneye, Capt William
Sidney, Captaine Harte, & Ensigne Davyes, that was shott in the
theigh, & not without Difficulty brought of & afterwards safelie cured.

Shortely after my lord wrote vnto Mee, he was almost readie for the
feilde againe, & had a purpose to planle a Garrison at Clogher or
Aghar, both standing on this Cormocke's landes, willed mee, if I could,
to bringe a peece of Artillery with mee, & as much victuell as I was
able, & soe be in a readines against the next time I should heare
from him. Artillery I was not able to bring, but about 10 dayes after
I came to him, about 8 myles wide from Dungannon, &, as I remem
ber, founde Sir Arthur Chichester with him, but sure I ame, wee mett
all three about that time, & marched togeather about 6 or 7 dayesj
in which time the Castle of Aghar standing in a lough 12 myles wide
from Omy was yealded to him, & he placed Captaine Richard
Hansard in Ganison in it, with 20 dayes victuell, & lefte mee in
charge to supplie him when that time came out, which I did to the
very day Tyrone was taken in, & order giuen for restitution of it
into his handes ; & afterwardes when wee parted, hee sent Sir Hen :
Follyalt with Mee to Comaund alt Ballyshannon, first with directions
to be vnder Mee, but not long after to be absolute Gouernor of himselfe.
As I came home, finding avoydance by a ward in a Castle of Harry
Hovodin's, 3 myles from the Newtowne, & standing in a loughe,
seeing a peece of grounde that Comaunded iust vpon the gate, 1 drewe
a trench, & lodged Musketeers, that did nothing but beate vpon it,
& left Captaine Nicholas Pynner with two Companys to plye them,
whoe did it soe well, that within 14 dayes the place was giuen vp, &
because I would not trouble myselfe wilh the care of Victuelling it, I
pulled it downe & raised it to the ground.
And shortelie after this, was Roory O'Donnell, brother to O'Donnell
that was fledd into Spaine (and himselfe banished his Countrey &
living in Connaught,) taken in by my lord Deputie, a profest enymy
lo Neale Garvy, who apprehended such Jealousies vpon il, as made
him runne Courses that were afterwards his vndoing. It gaue an oc
casion to make it be thought, Tyrone alsoe should be taken to Mercye,
& thervpon O'Caine came vnto Mee, & requested I would write
vnto my lord, that in case hee were, his lordship would please to Re
member, he had promised him to be exempted from him^ & that hee
desired hee would bee as good as his word ; I thought it needless, but
yet at his importunilie I did soe, & receiued this answere, that his

lordship knewe not yett whither hee should be taken in or noe, but if
hee were, beleeve mee, said hee, O'Caine shall be free & exempted
from him. Wee both then rested securelie satisfied from all further
doubts. On the 18th of November I receiued an advertisment from Sir
Arthur Chichester, that Tyrone had betaken himselfe to the Glynnes,
& that his opinion was, if hee were well sett vpon by both of vs
togeather, his heade might perhappes be gott, or at least he might be
driuen & forced out of that place ; wee discoursed vpon it by lettres,
& agreed lo giue the attempte, & on the 18th of December, with
all the forces I was able to make, which was 50 horse, 450 English
foote, 200 of O'Caines, & 100 of O'Doghertyes Kearne, Neale
Garvie beinge then & longe before eslraunged from Mee, 1 came to
Dongannon, which is 5 Myles shorte from the entrie of the Glinnes.
The first day I lay still, & gaue aduertisment onelie to Sir Arthur
Chichester of my coming, whoe was (as I imagined) newe come to the
other side. The next day I went vp to a Mountaine 4 Myle off, where
1 viewed them with myne Eye, & it seamed (as wee were tould be
fore) they were ten Myle broade, & 20 Myle longe, all Couered with
thicke wood, and questioning with my guides about the course I should
hould to make my Entry into them, I founde nothing but varietie &
contradiction of opinions, & therefore the next day after, at night, I
appointed Captaine Ralph Bingley with 100 light English, & most of
O'Caine's & O'Dogherlye's Kearne, to goe in as farre as they could,
& bring Mee certaine word how the wayes were. They had not gone
aboue a Myle, but the Irish mutyned, & for noe perswation would
goe any further, & O'Caine's men plainelie brake off & went home
to theire howses ; O'Dougherties returned to the Campe, but firmelie
mainlayned the wayes were not passable. Upon the 23rd I held a Con
sultation with the Captaines, & conferred with our Guides in theire
presence, & thus by concunance of voyces wee gathered from them
of the most cerlaintie, but there was noe way possible to come
neere to Tyrone, but wee must first for one daye's iourney abandon all
Carriadge but what wee had on om- backes, & incampe one night in
the woodes ; that alt our first entrance wee must pass a brooke, which
if rayne fell, wee could not repass againe till it ceased ; That Tyrone

lay plasht all about wilh trees, & had sente most of his Cowes to
Sleugh-Gillen, where it would be in vaine to make after them. And
demaunding theire oppinions herevpon, they all agreed, seeing the
Irish soe backward, and these inconveniences withall, It were better to
leaue good store of Irish to ply him with contynuall Stealthes, &
they thought it would weaken him more, & be a safer Course, then
to attempte him wilh these mayne forces, & that att the vttermost,
il could not bee above 2 or 3 Monethes, before of himselfe, hee would
be forced out of that place to a more open Countrey, where he might
be dealt withall better Cheape. Yet if Sir Arthur Chichester thought
otherwise, & would on his parte resolue on a day to enter on his side,
lett them haue knowledge of it, & all excuses sett aparte, vpon perill
of theire lines, they would meete him or lye by the waye. I presentlie
sente away -my lettres with aduertisment of this resolution of theires,
& attending an aunswere, on the 26th I receiued one from him dated
the night before, wherein he wrote he had heard but one from Mee,
& that was at my first Coming, woundred at it, & desired to knowe
my resolution, setting downe 4 dayes longer lo stay for it, & then if
it came not to be gone ; whereby il appeared that most of my lettres
were miscarried, for it was well knowne there had not one Night past
after I came, but 1 writt & made one dispatch or other vnto him,
& the next day our principall-Guide (to encrease the suspition) came
away from vs & went to Tyrone. Annother knowing that 30 Cowes
were coming to Mee vpon the way, from the Derrey, went & inter
cepted them, & followed the same way. A Rumor was raised alsoe
that Neale Garvie had prey'd the Liffer, & lasllie our slrenght was
nowe decreased at least 60 Men that were fallen sicke. The Consider
ation of these thinges added to the former, made vs then to send word
againe, he should not slay vpon vs, for wee were fullie resolued lo
tume home, & soe wee did, leaving behinde vs 100 Irish that vnder
tooke to be still doing vpon him, & presentlie after placeing a Gar
rison alt the Band, both to stopp his traffique that was for many ne
cessaries, that hee could not well liue without, as alsoe to prevent his
escape by Sea, if he should attempt it, as I was crediblie aduertised
he was in" consultation to doe: Besides I had^ intertained diuers that
seuerallie vndertooke to deliuer Mee his heade. I knewe Sir Arthur

Chichester had done the like, 85 soe attending the opportunitie that
time should offer being come home to the Deney, this bussines came
in my way to deale in.
Neale Garvie (as I said before) had a longe time carryed himselfe
discontented, estrainged himselfe from mee, & lined allogealher in
those partes about Ballyshannon, & it is true, those seruices he had
done, alwayes dulie acknowledged, I had very often & very bitterlie
Complayned of him to my lord, & my Reasons were these : Hee did
openly & contynuallie contest wilh Mee to haue the people swome to
him and not to the Queene ; To haue noe officer whatsoeuer but himselfe
in his Countrey; Hee wOuld not suffer his men to sell vs theire owne
goodes, nor worke with vs for Money, nor till or sowe the ground any
where neere vs, nor yeald vs any Carriages for the Army, as
O'Dogherlye, and all other that were vnder the Queene did : yea he
hath taken Cowes from his People vnder noe other Colour but because
they haue come to Mee when I haue sent to speake with them ; Diuers
stealthes haue beene made vpon vs, whereof it hath beene proued he
had his shaire, & nothing more Comon with him, then to receiue &
Conceale Messengers from Tyrone, & O'Donell, & when he hath
first denyed it, & afterwards had it proued to his face, his onelie
excuse was he refused theire offers. Hee would not endure that any
Man ofhis Countrey should be punished for any Cryme, though neuer
soe haynous, & manifestlie proued ; but take it as the highest iniurie
could be done vnlo him. His Entertainements were about 12£ a day,
for himselfe & the Men hee had in pay, & yett would muster but
when hee list, and sometimes absolutelie not at all ; Many Misdemeanors
there were in him of this kinde, & many friendlie perswalions haue I
vsed to reforme jthem, that done, his greatnes in the qualitie of a
subiect, I neither did nor had reason to Envie. Now it fell out that
my lord wrote for Rorie O'Donnell to come to him to Dublin; Hee
being in Connaught, desires first to putt ouer his Catle into Tirconnel,
which would otherwise be in danger in his absence to be preyd by
those of that prouince that yett stood out in Rebellion ; my lord giues
him leaue, & writes to Neale Garvie that hee shall not molest nor
trouble them, & soe Roory takes his Journey. Hee was noe sooner
gone, & the Calell put ouer. But Neale Garvie, nolwithslanding my

lord's Comaund, Ceizes them as his owne, vnder pretents they were the
goods of the Countrey belonging vnto him. Complainte made, my lord
writes to Me to see them restored ; I send vnto him & hee refuseth.
My lord vpon thatbidds Mee discharge him of his Entertainements,
& writes vnto him without delay to come to him to Dublin. Hee
growes more discontented, & defenes his going. Thus it runnes on for
at least 3 Monethes togeather, & neither would he come to Mee nor
my lord, nor by any meanes be perswaded to make Restitution. In the
ende he assembles of his owne aucthoritie all the Countrey att Kilmac-
koran, [ Kilmacrenan] a place where the O'Donnells vse to be chosen ;
There hee takes vpon him the title, & with the Ceremonyes accus
tomed, proclaymes himselfe O'Donell, & then presentlie comes to Mee
to the Derrey, with a greater troupe of attendances then at any time
before, & they styling him at euery word my Lord. Assoone as I
sawe him, I asked him howe he was thus suddenlie stept into the
Name of a lord : hee tould Mee they called him so because he was
O'Donnell. I asked him by what aucthoritie he was soe, & hee said
by my lord Deputies ; I badd him make thiat appeare vnto Mee &
all was well. Hee pluckt out a lettre written vnto him from my lord
about two yeares before. Superscription whereof was this, ' To my very
loving friende O'Donnell ;' I asked him if this were all the Warranto
hee had, & hee said yes. I asked him why he went not to my lord all
this while, nor came vnlo Mee sooner, nor restored Rorie O'Donell's
Catle. His aunswere was this; you knowe the whole Countrey of
Tirconnell was long since promised Mee, & many seruices I haue
done, that I thinke haue deserued it, but I sawe I was neglected, &
therefore I haue righted myselfe, by takeing the Catle, & People,
that were my owne, & to preuent others, haue made myselfe O'Don
nell; now by this meanes the Countrey is sure vnto Mee; & if I
haue done any thinge amisse, lett all be pardoned that is past, &
from this day forward, by Jesus' hand, I wUl be true to the Queene,
& noe Man's Councell will I follow hereafter but yours. You tatke a
wronge Course, said I, it may not goe thus, the first act yow must doe
to procure forgiunes for your faults (if it may be) is to make restitu
tion of the Catle ; if you doe it not of your owne accord, I knowe yow
will be forced vnto it vpon harder Conditions. Yet at that lime nothing

I could say would prevaile wilh him, & soe hee departed downe into
the towne ; And of all these manner of Proceedings I writt vnto my
lord : But it is true the next day hee came & made offer to restore
them, & I was glad of it, -& sent for Rorj' O'Donnell (who was
then at the Liffer) to come and receiue them, & my thoughts were
fullie bent to make the best Reconsilalion of the Bussines that I could.
Roory came but wilh open Clamour, that Neale Garvie had laide a
Plolt to muriher him by the way, & it is true, if the Confession of
3 of his owne Men may be beleeued, he was the Night-before in
Consultation to haue it done, but did not (as they say) Resolue vpon
il ; but this put all the Bussines out of fraime, for then could wee get
Roory to npe kinde of Patient Confenence, & in the meane time came
lettres from my lord to this effect, that hee had now taken in Tyrone,
& was fullie resolued to beare noe longer with Neale Garuie, and
therefore if I were sure he had made himselfe O'Donnell, it was trea
son by the lawe, I should lay hould on him & keepe him safe. My
lord, I was sure, was mistaken in the qualitie of his offence, for I
looked vpon the Statute Booke, & sawe that Rigorous lawe was onelie
for such as made themselues O'Neales, for those that looke vpon them
to be heads of other families, the Punishment was onelie a Penaltie of
100 marks. I pawsed therefore & was doubtefuU with myselfe, whi
ther by this Misgrounded warraunt I should doe well to restrayne him
or noe. But while I stood aduising vpon it. Came others lettres of ad-
uerlisement of the Queene's death, & order to Proclame the kinge.
Then I entred into a further Consideration, should this man take the
aduantage of the time, & knowinge he hath offended the state, stepp
aside & take Armes, ihinkeing by that meanes to make his owne
peace, how should I aunswere il, that haue him now in my handes,
and my lord's warraunt to make him sure ? Againe what a Blemish
would it be to all my actions, if the kinge, at his first Coming in, should
finde all the kingdome quiet bul onelie this litle pai-te vnder my Charge.
This moued Mee (to send for him) Presenllie, & when hee came I
tould him the Newes of the Queene's death. Hee seamed to be sorrie
for it. I tould him of the Succession of the kinge, then ame I vndone
sayeth hee, for Roory hath belter freindes about him then I. That
speach encreased my iealousie, & therevpon I lould him further I

had order from my lord to reslraine him of his libertie. Then ame 1 a
dead man, saith hee. I tould him noe, hee needed not feare any such
matter, neither his life nor landes were yet in danger, his offence was
a Comtempte onelie, & hee must be brought to acknowledge a higher
Power then his owne. The Marshall offerred to put Boulls on him ; hee
sent vnto Mee & desired hee might not be handled with that indig-
nitie, protesting wilh many oathes he would not offen to flie away. I
bad the Marshall forbeare, & hee desired then I would allowe him
a guard of a dosen of Souldiers to looke to him, & soe I did. Then
did hee seriouslie (as I thought) acknowledge his foUye, promised
faithfullie lo doe nothing hereafter but by my Councell. I tould him
if hee did soe, let him not feare, his Cryme was not Capital!, & that
hee might well see by his vsage, for hee had libertie to walke vp &
downe in the towne wilh his guard onelie. Hee seamed WounderfuU
thankfuU for it, & my intentions were now wholie bent to doe him
all the good offices might lye in my Power, but the third day after hee
had beene thus Restrayned hee secreetlie caused a horse, to be brought
to the towne gate, & noe man suspecting anythinge, hee sudainelie
slipt aside & gott vp vpon him, & soe made an escape. Word being
brought vnto Mee of it, I was then, I confess, extreamlie irritated
against him, & castinge about what to doe, presentlie coniectured hee
would goe to his Creaghtes, that lay about 8 Myle from the Liffer,
& with him gett downe to the Bottome of Tyrconnell toward the
Hands, where I knewe was the greatest strenghl he could goe to, &
furthest (of any other) out of my reach. Therefore I sent first to
Captaine Ralph Bingley that lay at RamuUan, fitt in the way to Cross
his passage, that hee should speedilie make out to stoppe him till I
came, which should be so soone as I could, & then to the Garrison
att Liffer that they should follow him to whome Roory O'Donnell
(being there at that time) readily wyned himselfe as glad of soe faire
an opportunitie to advaiince his owne endes by. I was not deceiued in
my Coniecture, & soe by that time I had writt these lettres, made
ready the Souldiers to goe wilh Mee, was past ouer Lough Swilley
by boate, & had marched some 7 or 8 Mile, I mett with the
^ Newes that our Men had ouertaken & beale him, gott possession of
the Cowes, which he fought for & defended with force of Armes as

longe as hee was able (& were estimated lo be about 7000,) & that
hee himselfe was fiedd into Mac Swyndoe's Countrey, with a purpose
to gett inlo Owen Oge's Castle, which was reputed to be the strongest
in all the North. I had then Owen Oge in my Companie, & to
preuent him Required he would deliuer it to Mee, & soe hee did,
onelie requesting hee might haue it againe, when the Ganison I should
put in it, should be withdrawne, which I gaue my word vnto hee should;
& then seeing himselfe preuented of a place to retire vnto, spoyled
of all his goods, & nothing in the world left him to liue vpon, hee
sent vnto Mee for a Protection to goe safe vnto my lord Deputie, &
takeing his Brother for his Pledge, & his oath besids, that he would
goe & submitt himselfe wholie to his Judgement, I was contented
& gaue it him, put the Pray wee had taken from him vpon Roory
O'Donnell's hand^ because hee should not haue that pretense to say I
had driuen him out of purpose to make Prey of his goods, & soe
promised to be there ere longe & meete him ; for nowe I had re
ceiued diuers lettres againe, one that my lord was purposed shortelie
to goe for England, that his Maiestie (by his recommendation) was
pleased to call Mee to be one of the Councell of Ireland, & that hee
would haue Mee to come speake wilh him before his departure; ann
other to Comaund mee lo suffer the Earle of Tyrone's Men to retourne
to theire landes, & especially to the Salmon fishing of Lough Foyle,
which till this time I had enioyed, & was promised the inheritamice -
of, as a parte of the reward for my seruice ; And annother for restitu
tion of Castles, Tennements, Catle, & many other thinges vnto him
which allogealher gaue Mee occasion presentlie to prepaire my selfe to
that iourney.
But first by the way, let the reader, if hee please, now enter inlo Con
sideration, & lay togeather^' before him, the some of all that which is
written before. Imagining withall, he nowe sees A towne at the Derrey
(for soe there was) built wilh litle or noe Charge to the Queene, able,
besids the houses, for stowage of Munition & victuell sent by the state,
to lodge convenienllie (in those erected by our owne labour & Indus
trie oneUe) a 1000 Men with theire officers ; Hee shall see besids where
wee landed on the I6lh of May 1 600, & found not soe much as a drie
slicke to succor our selues, with or vnder, the rest of the Countrey

abounding with howses, Corne, Catle, & a People that had beene
bredd vpp in Armes, flusht with former victories, & inrictched with
the spoile ofthe rest of the kingdome; Now, that parte wee held onely
replenished with such Corne & Catle as was left, the People reclaymed
to obedience, quiett & safe vnder our protection, & the rest desolute
& waste, the People vpon it brought to desperate Extremitie, and
enibying nothing but as fugitiues, & what they troad vpon by stealth ;
let him alsoe Consider what Castles & places of strength I haue gott
& maintayned, noe one of them lost againe for want of victuelling, or
other prouident care, noe disgrace taken by the Armye, nor soe much
as a parte of it at any time beaten in the field : And when last of all,
that nowe on the 24th of March 1602 (for on that day was Tyrone ta
ken in) the bussines done that wee came for, & the Warre happilie &
gloriouslie ended ; And as annother, writing a discourse vpon the Bat
taile of -Kinsaile, where my lord Worthylie gayned himselfe Etemall
honnor (and yet had his actions depraued as well as I myne) tooke
occasion to make Comparison ofthe slate of the kingdome as il then
was, with that itwas at his first Cominge, & saide of it (in his behalfe)
as one argument for all against Enuious & detracting tongues. Quan
tum mutatus ab illo ; May not I from that I found il in (without flat
tery to myselfe or vaine ostentation) say as much of the state of this
parte of it Committed to njy charge. Let Mallice accuse mee if I haue
spoken vntruth, & then I refuse not the Judgement of any that is
Ingenious.- I could speake of a greate many more workes that we did, whereof
the Countrey can not but afford a Memory to this day : But my intent
was from the begininge to touch onely the principall thinges, & noe
more. And soe to retourne where I left, my intent of going to Dublin being
publiquely knowne, diuers came to Mee with seuerall Requests & Re
membrances; and first O'Caine, who tould Mee the Earle of Tyrone had
sent some Men ofhis to be Ce.ssed vpon him, which did intimate as if
hee were made Lord ofhis Countrey, woundred at it, because if it were
soe, it was directlie against my lord's Promise, & therefore desired
Mee to make his excuse that he receiued them not.
Then O Doughertie, that he heard my lord went to giue away the

272 docwra's narration.
He of Inch from him, & appealed to Mee that it was against the
agreement made betweene vs.
Younge Tirlough, sonne to Sir Arthur 0 Neale, that my lord had al
readie giuen order for the deliuery of Newtowne into my lord of Ty-
roneis hand, challenged Mee of my Promise, & further desired his
father's lands might be assigned him. My Guides & spyes, such as
I had made many vses of, that the warres nowe ended, they might be
restored to the landes they had formerlie dwelt vpon, & be serued
[saved] from the Mallice of my lord of Tyrone & others that bare
them a deadly hatred, onelie for the seruice they had done vnlo vs.
The Sonne of one of them alsoe Complayned, that presentlie soe
soone as the peace was published, his father going inlo Tyrone, to
vissitt & make merrey wilh some of his old acquaintaunce, was taken
vp & hanged by my lord of Tyrone's express Comaund ement, & tell-,
ing mee whoe they were that first laid handes on him, I sente and
apprehended them, looke theire Examinations & kepte them in Prison.
Somewhat I had to say for myselfe, & a greate deale about Neale
Garvie, & with theire Memorialls to speake of when I came there, I
sett forward my intended iourney, & when I came to my lord's pre
sence, I found him (as I thought) exceeding feuorable, & well affected
towards Mee, for which after I had made profession of due & humble
ihankes, soe soone as the lime serued fitly for it, wee entred inlo
speach. Ffirst, of Neale Garvie, whoe was there present Busyly framing Com
plaints against Mee, whome my lord reiected, & would not vouchsafe
lo say any more vnlo bul onelie this : Neale Garuye, yow are greatlie
indebted vnto the slate, for the entertainements yow haue had & done
litle for, I haue often heard yow Complayned of for many ill Con
ditions, & now by my owne Experience, I finde il hath not beene
without iust cause, & therefore yow shall not e.xpect any further fauour
from mee, but be assured of seuerilie according to your deserts. Hee
beganne to replye, but my lord would not giue him the hearing. Then
his lordship & I fell to in lalke of him betweene our selues, and first
he protested touching Roory O'Donell, that hee looke him in vpon a
free and absolute submission, & letting hiin first knowe hee had pro
mised the Countrey of Tyrconell to another, soe that it lay not in his

docwra's narration. 273
Power to giue him soe much as a hope of any parte of it, so carefull
he was of doing noe wronge to Neale Garuye, Neuertheless he was
not then Ignorant of his perverse behauiour, hee had warned him
often, sawe noe hope of amendment, & therefore was now fullie re
solued to beare wilh him noe longer, but thought himselfe both in
honnor & Conscience free from all former Promises made vnto him ; I
replyed, & wee had much speach about it ; The some of all I saide
was this, that I could not «ay any thinge in his behalfe, I had soe
often Complayned of him before, nor had reason to doe it, in that I
sawe him senceless of his owne faults, & indevoring all hee could, lo
lay the blaime of it vpon Mee; yet many good seruices I neuer did,
nor eould denie but hee had done, il was true, they were made vn-
sauorie by a peruerse kinde of Caniage in him, which ( I confess) I
sawe noe hope of amendment of, & cerlainelie his occasions made it
manifest, he affected not onelie a Soueraigne, but euen with all a ty-
rannycall power ouer the landes & lyves & goodes of those people
should liue in any parte of Ihe Countrey he accompted his, that this I
had alwayes opposed against, & from hence grewe all the Contentions
that were betweene vs ; That he had verified all I had euer accused
him of, by his late disobedience to his lordship's owne Comaunde, &
violenllie assuming to himselfe, that which hee might not haue done
but by aucthoritie from annother ; that in his heart I was verylie per
swaded hee was at that time a Malitious Rebbell, & if it might be
done with iustice, the safest course were to take of his heade, but if he
had not done any thinges, that Lawe could lake hould of in that kinde,
I sawe not how his lordship could thinke himselfe freed of his Pro
mises,, nor what other punishment could be inflicted vpon him, but
such as was due for a high Contempte, & that vndoubtedlie he was
most worlhie of: But if hee intended to giue away his whole Countrey
from him lo annother, besides the apparent breach of his Promise,
there would many inconveniences insue of it, if hee divided it in any
fashion whatsoeuer, he should but sowe the seeds of CiuiU discention,
soe as to say truth, what meane course might be had with him was a
difficulte point to resolue on ; But whatsoeuer his lordship would please
to doe in it, I wisht hee might haue a Publique hearing & a Judiciall
Sentence pronounced vpon him, other wayes I sawe noe way possible

to giue any Colour of satisfaction to the World. Jn the end our Con
clusion was this ; Hee badd Mee bethinke myselfe, & sett downe in
writing the vttermost of what I could charge him withall, & the
proofes I was able to make, & to send it after him into England, &
there hee would resolue to proceed with him accordinglie ; I did soe,
& spared not any thing I could speake with truth against him, as
hauing my heart inclyned at that time to doe him noe fauour ; I sent
it by Captaine Harte, togeather with a discourse about O'Caine, both
it & my lettres written both at that & other times into whose hands
soeuer they are fallen, will giue a full testimoniall of truth to all this
which I now say ; but it wrought other effects then I either intended
or expected.
Then touching O'Caine I tould him [Lord Mountjoy] how the Earle
of Tyrone had sent men to be cessed vpon him, & how hee refused
them ; Sr Henry Docwra sayeth hee ; My lord of Tyrone is taken in
with promise to be restored, aswell to all his lands, as his honnor of
Dignitie, & O'Caine's Countrey is his, & must be obedient to his
Comaund. My lord, said I, this is strange & beyond all expectation,
for I ame sure your lordship cannot be vnmindfuU, first of the agree
ment I made with him, wherein he was promised to be free & to hould
his lands from the Crowne, & then your lordship ratified & approued
the same vnto him vnder your hand, haue iterated it againe diuers &
diuers times both by word of Mouth & writing, how shall I looke this
man in the face when I shall knowe myselfe guilty directlie to haue
falsified my word with him ; Hee is but a drunken ffellowe saith hee,
and soe base, that I doe not thinke but in the secreete of his hearte, it
will better Content him to be soe then otherwise, besides hee is able
neither to doe good nor hurte, & wee must haue a Care to the Pub
lique good, & giue Contentment to my lord of Tyrone, vpon which
depends the Peace & securitie of the whole kingdome. My Lord,
said I, for his drunkenness & disabillitie to doe good or hurte, they
are not heere to come into Consideration, & for his inward affections,
what they are I know not. But sure I ame hee malces outward shewe,
that this will be very displeasing vnto him, and the manifest, & mani
fould benifitts hee shall receiue more by the one then the other, are lo
my vnderstanding sufficient arguments to make mee thinke hee doth

docwra's narration. 275
seriouslie inclyne to his owne good, & with your fauour, what good
can ensue to the Publique by a direct breach of Promise whereof there
is soe plaine and vndeniable Evidence extante vnder our hands, it
passeth my vnderstanding to Conceiue. Well sayeth hee againe, that I
haue done was not without the aduise of the Councell of this king-
dome, it was liked of & approued by the lords in England, by the
Queene that is deade, & by the king's Maiestie that is now living, &
I ame perswaded not without good & sufficient Reason; It may not
be infringed, but if yow can thinke vpon any course to Compase it
in some good fashion that I be troubled noe more wilh it, I shall take it
as an acceptable kindnes ; But howsoeuer. By God, sayeth hee, O'Cane
must & shall be vnder my lord Tyrone. I then tould him I had noe
more to say, though I were not soe fullie satisfied as I could wish; yet
hee should see my will was, & should be obedient & Conformeable to
his, let it be soe, sayeth hee, & you shall doe mee a pleasure.
Then touching O'Doughertie I tould him hee had hard his lordship
had a purpose to giue away the He of Inche from him, which hee had
shewed Me was expreslie contayned in his father's Graunte, & therefore
would importe a breach of Promise both of myne & his owne ; Hee
acknowledged he had beene moued in such a matter, but thanked mee
for telling him thus much & bad mee be assured it should not be done,
wherewith I rested fullie satisfied & tould O'Doughertie as much, whoe
was at that time in towne in my Compaine.
Then I came to younge Tirlough & tould him I had receiued a
generali Warraunt from his lordship to restore all the Castles & boul
ders that I had in Tyrone, into my lord's hands That there were two
videlicet the Castle of Newtowne & Dongevin, that were deliuered to
Mee vpon Conditionj that the Kinge hauing noe longer vse of them,
they should haue them againe from whome I receiued them, & besids
that of Newtowne was parte of the peculier lands belonging to Sir
Arthur O'Neale, whose sonnes there were very many reasons for,
should be fauored & respected by the state; Hee tould Mee il was with
him as il was with O'Caine all that Countrey was my lord of Tyrone's
& what hee might be intreated to giue him, he might haue. But other
wise he could chaUeng noe right nor intrest in anythinge, & therefore
for the Castles badd mee againe deliuer them, & for younge Tiriough,
hee would speake to my lord [of Tyrone] to deale weU with him.

276 docwra's narration.
ffor my Guids & Spyes I then saw my aunswere before hand, & that
it was booteless to Motion for any landes for them, yet I tould him
what seruices many of them had done, what promises I had made them
how vtterlie destitute of meanes they were lo liue vpon, & how much I
thought the slate was ingaged both in, honnor and PoUicie to prouide
for & protect them ; Hee said he would speake to my lord of Tyrone in
theire behalfe, & badd mee giue them what I thought good in victuells
out ofthe kings stoore, & it should be allowed of; I was somewhat
importunate for a Certaintie & Countynuance of meanes for them to
liue vpon & that by aucthoritie of the state, they might be allowed to
retourne to theire owne landes. But he would notindure to heare of it;
yet hee spake lo my lord of Tyrone in my presence, and he promised
freelie to forgiue all that was past, & to deale with them as kindlie as
with the rest of his Tenants ; howbeit afterwardes I could giue parlicu
ler instance wherein) he changed his Note and Sunge annother tune.
I theu lould him of my Guide that my lord of Tyrone had hanged,
he aunswered, he thought il Was not without some iust cause, I desired
that cause might be knowne, & the matter come to open tryall ; Hee
seemed lo be extreamelie offended to be troubled with Complaints of
that kinde, & my lorde of Tyrone said for his excuse, my lord had
giuen him aucthoritie to execute Martiall lawe, & this was a knaue taken
robbinge a Priest, & therefore worthyly put to Death. I was able to
proue the Contrary, & offerred to doe il vpon perill of my life, by the
Confessions of those Men I had at that time Prisoners in my hand;
Bul seeing the Bussines soe displeasing to my lord I gaue it ouer, &
afterwards one of them that was cheife in the action breaking Prison,
I sett the rest at libertie.
Then came I lasllie to my selfe, & tould him I receiued order
from him to suffer the Earle of Tyrone's men to fish the Riuer of
Loughfoyle, I hoped his lordship had not forgott, that hitherto hee had
giuen Mee the proffitts of it & promised mee the inherilaunce & that
it was not his meaning to take it from Mee againe; Hee said Sr
Henry Docwra, yow haue deserued well of the kinge, & your seruice,
there is greate Reason should be Recompenced, Bul it must be by
some other meanes then this. Yow see what promise I haue made
to my lord of Tyrone, & it is not my Priuate affection to any man

living that shall make mee breake it, because I knowe it is for the
Publique good; yow must therefoie let him haue both that & the
lands which were reserued from O'Caine and on my honnor, yow shall
be otherwise worthylie rewarded. I expected nothing less then such
an answere, yet I made noe further wordes. But willinglie yealded
to giue vp my intrust in both & departed at that time aswell contented
without them, as I should haue beene glad to haue had them. Then
I desired to haue gone with him into England, but he would not suffer
Mee; But with exceeding fauorable Countenance assured mee to do
me all right vnto the kinge ; & soe was I satisfied with hopes, though
any man may see I had hitherto nothing bettered my selfe by this
Journey. As he was readie to take shipping, O'Doghertie came & tould Mee,
that notwithstanding all the assurance I had giuen him ofthe Contrary,
the He of Inch was past away. I could not possiblie belieue it at first,
but hee showed mee manifest proofes that a lease was graunted for XXI
years ; I then badd him goe speake for himselfe, for I had done as
much as I was able, wherpvpon hee followed him into England and
had such reamidie as shall presently be declared.
In the meane time being gone, my lord Hugh (the Earle of
Tyrone's eldest sonne) & I went home togeather, & when wee came to
to the Derrey, I sent for O'Caine, & tould him what my lords pleasure
was touchinge him ; Hee beganne presentlie to be moued, & both by
Speach & gesture, declared as earnestlie as was possible, to be highlie
offended at it, argued the matter with Mee vpon many pointes
protested his fidelitie to the state since hee had made profession of it ;
asked noe fauour if any man could charge him with the Contrarie,
said he had alwayes buylt vpon my promise & my lord Depulie's, that
he was nowe vndone, & in worse case then before hee knewe vs, shewed
many reasons for it, & asked, if wee would Claime him hereafter, if
hee followed my lord of Tyrone's CounceU though il were against the
kinge, seeing hee was in this manner forced to be vnder him ; In the
end seeing noe remidie, hee shaked handes with my lord Hugh, bad the
Devill take all English Men & as many as put theire trust iu them, &
soe in the shewe of a good reconcUed frenshipp they went away to
geather.

278 docwra's narration.
I was then to write vnto my lord of many other thinges, & thought
this no impertinent matter to lett him knowe of, yet wilh a Protesta
tion, neuer to open my mouth in it more. Captaine Heart who is yet
liuing carried that dispatch, & tould Mee when hee came backe againe
hee thought I had offended him in somewhat in those lettres, for he
gathered as much from his Countenance, when hee read them, &
besides he found him nothinge fauorable to anythinge he had occasion
to speake vnto him of in my behalfe; But my hearte was soe Cleere &
soe Confident of him at that time, that I could not possiblie beleeue
it. Within a while after came Roory O'Donnell to Dublin, with his Ma
iestie's lettres to be made Earle of Tirconnell, & haue all the Countrey
to him & his heires (except Ballyshannon with 1000 acres of ground
& the fishing that lyes vnder it) & such landes as Neale Garvie had held,
living in amitie wilh the former O'Donell, the said Neale garuie iudici-
allie convicted of noe Crime which I thought was strange. But whither
it were with his right or wronge with Conveniencie or inconveniencie to
the state, was then noe more to be disputed of. Hee brought a warraunt
alsoe to haue Owen Oge's Castle deliuered vnto him, which because of
my Promise I opposed against as much as I could but with lost labour.
Presentlie after him came O'Doghertie alsoe with a lettre from my
lord to Mee, to pray mee to deliuer him the possession of the He of
Inch againe, which hee himselfe had past away before, first by lease
for XXI yeares, & afterwardes in ffee simple for euer, both vnder the
greate seale ; I tould him this wanaunt was too weake to doe what it
imported, & shew'd him reasons for it, which either he could not, or
would not, apprehend, or beleeue. But plainely made shew to conceiue
a suspition as though I Were corrupted vnder hand to runne a
dissembleing course with him. To giue him Contentment if I could,
being then to goe for Efagland, & to Dublin by the way, I spoke to
Sr. George Carey that was then lord Deputie, tould him how the case
stoode, & what discontentment I sawe it draue him into. Hee tould
Mee it was past the Scales (gaue mee a further reason too) & vtterlie
refused to make or medio with it; Herevpon hee tooke it more to
hearte, sente Agentes to deale for him in England, they preuayled not
till my lord was deade, & then with impatience lead away with Lewd

docwra's narration. 279
CounceU besides, & conceiuing himselfe to be wronged in many other
thinges, hee was first brooke out into open Rebbellion, but that fell out
a good while after.
In the meane time 1 went forward my Journey, & Coming to my
lord to the Courte, propounded in my owne private bussines, to haue
a booke of 100 towne land in Ireland as others had gotten both before
& after Mee, it was allowed of & vndertaken at first ; But within fewe
dayes after I was told it could not be obtayned ; Then desired I might
haue the Gouernement of Loughfoyle, with the Enterlaynemeiit of
20s. a daye established to mee during life which I had alreadie by the
king's lettres patients but during pleasure & the towne I had built at
the Deney, if it might be thought fitt (not for any gayne of myne) to
be incorporate & haue such Priuiliges as might be thought reasonable
& convenient for it.
This without difficultie I was promised should be done ; But coming
to Sr. Thomas Wyndebancke to whome I was refened for my dispatch,
I found order for' my entertainement, with my aucthoritie & gou
ernement restrayned onely to the towne; This I disliked oi" & went to
my lord nothing doubting bul to haue it redressed : But hee tould mee
it was the king's pleasure noe man should haue to doe in my lord of
Tyrones Countrey, and before I could make replie, turned aWay, &
would not vouchsafe Mee any further Speach. There was nothing
could fall vnto Mee so farre beyond expectation, as this strange &
soddaine alienation of his Countenance from Mee. I Sought first by
myselfe to knowe the reason of it, & none would be giuen, I vsed the
intercession of freindes, a pretence was intimated, & I cleered my selfe
of it with his owne acknowledgement to be fullie satisfied. Then hee
gaue mee the testimoney to be a worlhie & honnest Gentleman, & well
deseriiing for my seruice. But his priuate affections must in this case
giue way to the publique good, & beside, that soe it must be, was his
Maiestie's pleasure, I replyed againe how Ignomynious it would be vnto
Mee, & what an vnprofitable Journey I should make to retourne in
worse case then I came forth, some reasonable good wordes I had in
the end to encourage Mee to haue a hope of better Conditions hereafter,
but for the present I must be contented, there was noe possible remedie,
soe after Six Monethes attendance, his Maiestie's lettres I had

for Confirmation of my Entertaynement onelie, and incorporating the
towne vnder the Gouernement of a Prouost, which I was named to be
(with power to make a vice Prouost in my absence)- during my life.
And here is the Reward I haue had to this day for my 21 yeares' seruice
in the Warres before, my aucthoritie & Countenance one halfe
dyminished, the fishing of Loughfoyle taken away, & the land reserued
from O'Caine. My lord Danuers yet liues & was well acqiiainted with
all that past betweene him & Mee, alt this time, a knowne freinde of
his & therefore a wilnes free from all Exception. I will not press him
to say all that hee knowes. But as hee is honnorable, I appeale to his
Testimonye, whether all this that I say be not true, & that if I listed
I could say much more to myne owne aduantage, which I willinglie
pass ouer, & cann be well enough Contented shalbe buried in elernall
sylence. But takeing my leaue at Courte, & departing with this dispatch for
Ireland, the windes as I went put mee in at Knockfergus & my lord
Deputie that nowe is, being then Gouemor of that 'place, & established
in il by Patient during his life, was the first that asked mee, if I were
not discharged of my Gouernement. I tould him noe ; hee presentlie
shewed mee the Coppie of a lettre that my lord of Tyrone had sent
vnto him, the orriginall whereof he had receiued from my lord
Leiuetenant, declaring & giuing notice vnto him, that it was his
Maiestie's Pleasure I should haue noe more to doe in his Countrey.
wherevpon I tould him the whole truth, which hee seemed to wounder
att & euen then to conceiue to be an Iniurie done vnto Mee. And
passing by land from thence to the Derrey, I found the same Copies in
euery man's hands all alonge as I went, & soe both my Comission ( &
estimation withall) publiquely decryed, for from that day forward the
people amongst whome I had before as much loue as I thinke, as
much respect I ame sure, as any man of my rancke in the Kingdome,
beganne lo Conlemne mee with as many Skomes & affronntes, as the
wilt & malice of any that hated Mee could desire, or listed to putt into
theire heades to doe Mee.
Not long after himselfe coming to receiue the Sword, & foreseeing
the bussines, that would arise from those paries could not but necessa-
rilie require some man of aucthoritie lo be resident amoni^st them, &

docwra's narration. 28 1
bearing a noble & speciall respect vnto me withall, badd Mee for any
inhibition I had yet receiued, I should not be Scrupulous, but freelie
take vpon Mee the execution of my Comission. I tould him it would
be offensiue to my lord. Hee tooke vpon himselfe to beare the blame
of it, & see, by vertue ofhis Comaunde, & yet not without further
expresse wartaunt & direction besides, some thinges I did, but they
were presentlie Complayned of, and my lord wrote vnto him to dissist.
And where before, the restraint lay onelie vpon Tyrone, hee now lay the
like vpon Tyrconell alsoe, & sent him warraunt to make the Earle Justice
of Peace & Quorum, & lord Lieuelenant of that Countrey ; How much
to the preiudice of those that had faithfuUy serued the state, I could,
if it were required euen at this day, giue many parliculer instances and
proofes of, & take occasion further, to make longe discourses vpon this
man's violent and insolent Caniage, sufficiently bewraying to any man
that listed to see it, what the bent of his heart was from the begining ;
But hee is deade, & ^the iniuryes that honnest Men receiued by him
are past Recouerie, & therefore I will onelie say this of him in genne
rall wordes (& I thinke my lord Deputie & Judges that were in that
time, will beare mee wilnes I say true) there were noe vices in poore
Neale Garvie, that had done vs many good seruices. But the same
were in him, & more, in a farre more pemitious degree, that had
neuer done any, & then I Confess it made mee see cleere myne owne
Enour, & the wronge (I may call it) I had done to Neale Garvy e ;
not that my Conscience accuseth mee to haue done any thinge towards
him with malitious or corrupt intentions (noe thereof I take God to
wilnes my heart is cleere) But that with Simplicitie I sufferred my
selfe to be made an Instrument of his ouerthrowe, vnder the pretence
of those misbeheauors, that were plainelie toUerated yea & allowed of
in another, ffor it is true my lord would heare noe Complainte of him
howe iust soeuer.
And to giue me a further testimonye of what I might hope for at
his handes, Ballyshannon being taken by mee in manner as before is
mentioned, hee made Sr Henry FfoUyott Gouernour of it by patient
during his Ufe, laid 1000 acres of land to the Castle, & gaue him the
inherilaunce of the fyshinge, noe Consideration of offending the Irish,
& by Consequence of inconvenience to the Publique, which were euer

282 docwra's narration.
the pretended impediments to all my demaundes, any wayes wilhstan
dinge ; yea & to some other of inferiour Ranckes to myselfe, he gaue
large Proportion of landes, parte whereof^ as that from O'Doughertie
in perliculer was with a direct breach of promise and Couenant, both of
myne & his owne, where neither for myselfe, nor the Towne of Deney,
nor by way of Reward for ahy Captaine that serued vnder Mee (by
any suite or meanes I could make) could I gett so much as one foote,
of that which without iniurie to any man living, and -with great Conve
nience to the king's seruice (as I ame perswaded) hee might haue giuen
if hee had pleasd.
All this & much more (though very irksome it was) I indured &
silt out withall a yeare & better ; In the end tyred with the exercise of
Pacience, & not without iust cause (as I can make it plainelie appeare
to any man that desires to be satisfied in that pointe) dispareing of
my safetie to liue any longer in place, I came away for England, &
adressed myselfe both to him & others, that I thought might & would
haue giuen or procured mee better Conditions; But they tould Mee
the kinge had put all into his handes, & hee, the old songe, it was for
the good of the Publique; And then seeing noe meanes I could make
able to preuaile (after at least 4 Monethes tryall) I came & tould him
lo this effect. There was noe death could be soe bitter to Mee as the
life was I had ledd, since I receiued these arguments of his disfauour,
I was neither willing nor able to contest against him, & had therefore
resolued though with a greate deale of greife of minde, & apparent loss
of all my former laboures, to quitt myselfe of Ireland, & retourne noe
more vnlo it, was minded to sell away my house, & some lands I pur
chased there, & besought him to giue mee leaue to doe away my Com
panyes (that I yet held in the King's pay) togeather with them; Hee
demaunded whoe it was I ment them vnto, I tould him Mr George
Pawlett a Gentleman of Hampshire, hee saide hee knewe the man well,
there was noe longer vse for a Man of warre in that place, & with a
good wUl I should haue his Consente vnto it; I had not in truth at
that time, past any such absolute promise to Mr Pawlett, But percei
uing by this his willingnes to be ridd of Mee, & vrged vpon it shortelie
after by some that were powerfuU in fauour about him, to dispatch &
goe forward with myne offer, takeing that as a Manifest argument aboue

docwra's narration. 283
all the rest, what the secreet intentions of his hearte were towards Mee,
I concluded a bargaine, & sold him my house I had builte, wilh 10
Quarters of land I had bought & layde to it (all with myne owne
Money) & my Company of ffoote all togeather, for less a greate deale
then the very house alone had stood mee in, & withall, the vice provost-
shipp of the towne of DeiToy (for the time of my absence) 1 conferred
vpon him, but which, I jieither valued, nor had anythinge for. And my
Company of horse a good while after, by the fauour and allowance of
the lordes of the Councell, I made ouer to my Leiuetenant; But auc
thoritie ouer the Countrey, which I myselfe was discharged of, it lay not
in my power to giue or sell, neither did I promise nor intend vnlo him
as my lord Deputie well knowes, & the Counterpaynes of writinges
that past betweene vs are able to testifie vnto this day-; ffor that onelie
was it, which might I haue enioyed vpon any Reasonable or indifferent
tearmes I take it vpon my Salualion, It was not 5 times the money I
had for all the rest, should haue bought mee out of it ; And that
therein I should desire to haue Contynued, being none other but the
same, I had brought the Countrey to obedience by from the height of
Rebellion, & thg,t which my Reputation & safetie of living in that place
depended vpon, was not (as I take it an ambitious affecting of all, as it
pleased my lord to tearme it ; And lett the pretence be what it will,
that it might not haue beene with the Convenience to the kings Seruice
aswell in mee as in others, that were in the same case, noe one in the
kingdome hauing the like Restrainte laide vpon him, but onely I, was
a Paradox I confess, beyond my Capassitie to beleeue, & I ame sure
the after events plentifuUie proued to be a false one.
And now because o'Caine, from the breach of my promise with him,
deriues, aswell, as he may, the cause of all his Miseries, & therevpon
(as hee sayeth) hath often made suite to haue a day of hearing at the
Councell table, & diuers times importuned Mee to be present at it, &
my aunswere hath alwayes beene, lett mee be called & asked, I would
not spare to speake the full of the truth according to my knowledg ;
But for soe doing, neither hee nor I haue hitherto had any such
opportunitie; To satisfie my Conscience in that pointe, by makeing it
knowne (as much as lyeth in my Power what the true slate of his case
is, I doe now averre, aU that I haue said alreadie concerning him is

284
true, & further, that while I was yet in Ireland, there were some that
came & perswaded him, howsoeuer either my Creditt, or will, fayled
to doe him right, they would vndertake to make my agreement with
him good by lawe, & that if hee would, they would procure him his
landes to himselfe ; Hee came to Mee vpon it, & asked my advise, I
bad him giue noe creditt vnto them, [they would not be able to prevaUe
against my lord Leiuetenant, & hee would be brought into worse case,
then yet he was, if hee shewed himselfe refractory against my lord of
Tyrone, & therefore wished him to bende himselfe rather to seeke his
fauour, & stirre noe further in it, yet others after that came againe &
endeuored to instill into him the same hopes, with such vehement &
forcible perswalions, that in the end he beganne to inclyne & giue eare
vnto them. Tyrcftie perceyving it, & iealous of the event, labored as
much on the contrary side, both by arguments of reason and Promises
of fauoiirs, to binde him the faster tO himselfe, & still bad him gett be
fore his Eyes, the fruits of his trust to any Promises of ours, by the
Examples of his forepast Experience, & because hee sawe the greatest
argument that swayd him from his side, was an obiection, that in the
stale he now was, hee had neither lands nor goods of his owne, but for
both stood meerelie at the Courtesie of annother, to take away that feare,
hee made him a Graupte of his owne landes to him & his heires for
euer, al a certaine Rente in writing vnder his hand, & therevpon (as
the Fame went) he resolutely vowed his fidelitie to him ; And then came
I away, & what was done in the Progress, & after Caniage of that bus
sines, I ame not able to speake of my owne certaine knowledge, more
then onelie this, that Questions arisinge betweene them againe, & both
of them called to the Councell table at Dublin, to haue them debated,
I ame sure O'Cane produced that wrilinge to shew in Evidennce, &
Tyrone laide hould on it, & before the Deputie & all the rest of theire
faces tore it in Feces. I f all this notwithstanding hee were afterwardes.
Guiltie of any disloyaltie to the kinge It is more than any man charged
him of in my time, & il belonges not to Mee, therein to excuse or ex
tenuate his faulte, lett him aunswere for himselfe.
And because in the begining of this discourse, I sett downe the list
of the Army, lo be first 4000 - foote, & 200 horse, then by the Casting .
of Sr. Mathew Morgan's Regiament, that the foote were brought lo

docwra's narration. 285
3000, & afterwardes I mention Supplyes, but speake nothinge of further
abatements, whereby the Reader may probably Conceiue as though the
lyst had contynued at that rate, & thereby I should wronge myselfe, I
thought it fitt to say thus much more, that although I cannot call to
Minde euery parliculer abatement when it was made, yet diuers there
were contynuallie from time to time, & at least 3 Monethes before the
Warre ended, I ame sure I had not left Mee in list aboue 1000 foote
& 50 horse at the most.
And thus haue I nowe gone thorough (with as much breuilie as I
cann) to declare to the veiwe of those, that shall please to see it, the
true state ofthe Bussines betweene my lord & Mee. Il is not enough
perhappes to some that will yet thinke all this insufficient to excuse
Mee for quitting myselfe from the king's Seruice, & may obiecle, further,
why did I not address myselfe vnto him : hee was gralious, & wise, &
whatsoeuer I had found his pleasure to bee, was both a sufficient lawe
to binde Mee, & a reason to giue me Contentment; It is true euen
wisemen some times comitt Errours, & none but arrogant fooles pre
sume to iustifie them when they are done ; as I ame not the one, soe
I would not be the other, & therefore I do herein willinglie & Sin
cerelie acknowledge my faults, & yet wilh truth haue thus much to say
in my Excuse, without mediation of freindes it could not be done, &
they on whose fauours I had (as 1 thought) some Reason to Relye
(because of my anciente Dependaunce vpon them) refused mee, & to
seeke it by newe acquaintaunce, I had Considerations (not vnworlhie to
enter into an honnest Man's thoughts) that discouraged Mee ; Besids I
must freelie confess the contemplation of his power & height in fauour
dazled myne Eyes, & greife & indignation did litle less then putt them
Cleene out ; yea & further I should wronge myselfe if I did denye, but
that some Meditations I had in hand to take a Course Safe, & Justifia
ble in all Respects, If not to haue righted my selfe by, yet at least to have
manifested both my wronges & myne inocency to Publique knowledge,
which whatsoeuer it was, his suddaine & vnexpected Death preuented,
& by occasion thereof, I haue since had leasure too much lo bethinke
my Selfe of my foUie, & meanes too litle lo putt my Selfe into any way
to redress it ; The onelie Reamidie I desire, is to be admitted againe
to his Maiestie's Service, & therein to Spende my dayes, is the height of

EEMAEKS ON THE PEECEDING TEACT.

The foregoing tract is printed from a MS. copy which is evidently of
an age contemporaneous with the ¦writer, now preserved in the Library of
the Irish Ordnance Survey Office, Mountjoy Banacks, Phoenix Park,
Dublin. It is in a plain strong clerk hand, and the fly-leaf exhibits
the autograph of " Theodore Docwra," but no date. The original, in
Sir Henry Docwra's own hand, is said to be in the possession of Sir
Thomas Phillipps, Bart, of Middle Hill, who has not condescended to
communicate to the Society any account of the state ofthe MS. The
piobability rs that the original consists of rough notes and various
original letters, which were drawn up into the following form by a pro
fessional scribe under Sir Henry Docwra's own direction, and that the
present copy in the Ordnance Survey Library was made for the use of
Theodore Docwra, the son and heir of the author.
There are various Genealogical memoranda, and Armorial bearings
of several branches of the Docwra's family, as of Cambridge, York
shire, Herts, &c. preserved in the Library of the British Museum,
(Egerton, No. 74, 6769, &c.) but the descent of our author does not
appear among them. In March, 1599, he was appointed by letters
patent under the great seal of the Realm, " Chief Commander and
Governor of all her Majesty's forces of horse and foot assigned for
Lough Foyle." And in the same month the following instructions
were given to him and Sir Matthew Morgan from her Majesty's Castle
of Dublin by the Lord Deputy and Council.

and Cardes, with all other impieties and blasphemies, hatefuU to good
Christians, and most daungerous to be suffered wilh impunnitie in
Armies, or amongst any other Christian Congregation or soesieties of

or other respects to breake the lawes and rewles thereof, whereby yow
shall the better leade the Troopes vnder your Chardge, in obedience
to God and her Majestie, and in dulie and love towards your self.
And for that the troopes of Horse and foote assigned for that service,

hathe beime vsed, but with good respect to answer the needful! services,
either for trayninge of the Companies, or for theire actuall ymployment
abroade against the Ennemies. And for defalcations yow are to see

The Four Masters call Docwra " Henry Docura, an illustrious
knight of wisdom and prudence : a pillar of battle and conflict :" For
various notices of this remarkable man the reader is referred to Erck's
Repertory of the Patent RoUs of Chancery, pp. II, 20, 48, 106, 115,
126,128, 166, 166, 183,212, and the suppressed work "Patent
Rolls of James I." pp. 304, 360.

REMARKS ON THE PRECEDING TRACT. 295
On the 19lh of July in the 14lh year of James I.'s reign, he was ap
pointed Treasurer at war, during the King's pleasure, fee 6s. 8d. a
day; and on the I6th of May, 1621, he was created Baron of Cul
more : The Passage relative to his creation as given in the Liber Hi
bernia from Lodge's Baronetage is as follows :
" Sir Henry Docwra, Knt. (Treasurer of wars) — Title Lord Docwra,
Baron of Culmore, Co. Derry — Patent, Westminster, May 16, 1621
—20 Jac. I. 2d pars. d. Extinct."
Sir Henry was succeeded by his only son Theodore, the second
Lord Docwra of Culmore, who must have died during the interregnum
and with him the title, as it does not appear in the lists of the nobility
after the restoration of Charles II. In the " Catalogue of th6 nobility
of Ireland, as they ought to sit on the first day of the Parliament
holden at Dublin, the I6lh day of March, 1639," given in the Liber
Hiberniee, we have " Theodore, Lord Docwra of Culmore."
The race of Sir Henry Docwra is therefore extinct in the male line,
but it appears from Archdall's edition of Lodge's Peerage, that Elizabeth,
younger daughter of Henry Lord Docwra, Baron of Culmore, was
the third wife of Sir Henry Brooke of Brookesborough, who died 31st
of August, 1671, leaving by her a son George Brooke, Esq. so that
his blood may remain in Ireland through that George.
There are many persons of the name Dockrey in the County of
Roscommon, but these are of the sept of the Sil-Muireadhaigh, and
are really O'Docraidhs or O'Dockreys. See the Stowe Catalogue,
Codex ui. fol. 28, and Hardiman's Edition of O'Flaherty's Chorogra
phical Description of West Connaught, p. 140.

AZOTES TO THE PEECEDING TEACT.

P. 2^. -—The army consistingin list of 4000 foote, and200 horse, Sfc. The Four
Masters assert that he had six thousand men, and that he landed first in the har
bour of Dublin ; but the Irish had this account from common report only,
and Docwra's own account Is unquestionably more correct. See Annals of the
Four Masters, Ed. J. O'D. A.D. 1600, p. 2189, nste 3.
P. 237. — Knockfergus. This is the usual name by which, at this period,
English ¦writers were wont to call the town of Carraig Fearghusa, or Carrick-
fergus, in the County of Antrim.
P. 237  Cuhmore is in Irish called Cujliijo^t, and translated angulus magnus,
by Philip O'Sullevan Beare. This fort was described as foUows, by Sir Josias
Bodley, in September, 1608, as appears from a MS. in the British Museum,
Lansdowne, No. 156, 80, (327) :—
" The fort of Culmore stands most conveniently to command the entrance of
the river of the Derry, and being ou a low neck of land, may, -with 2 or 300£
charge, be made an\sland. It is raised with turfe aud earth, which with
violence of the weather and beating of the Sea is much decayed. To assure
that place against any assaylants, and re-enforce it, as It were fitt, it were re
quisite to face it with stone to the high water marke at the least, and repaire
the parapetts and bulwarkes, also to erect some small buildings for the Captaine,
warders and gunners, and to reserve the Castle that there standeth, for a Store
house for victualls and munition, of which the whole charge may amount to
6 or 700£."
This fort remained unoccupied as a military station, for one hundred and
forty-six years, hut it was repaired in 1824, by General Hart.

ment of this Castle stiU remains in a townland of the same name in the parish
of Templemore, Co. of Londonderry. This Castle does not occupy the site ofthe
ancient palace of the Kings of Ulster, whose name It bears. The ruins of the
palace of Aileach are to be seen on the neighbouring hill of Grianan. See the

Chancery, pp. 114, 115. Sir Josias Bodley describes tlie condition ofthe
works here in September, 1608, as foUows :— ' ' The Rampier and bulwarks of the
fi"ort at the Derry are much ruined, the Parapltt cleane fallen away. The most
part of it must be newly faced with sodds from the foundation, new gates and
bridges to be made, the ditch digged deeper and broader in most places, houses
of munition, victualles, and other purposes, to be made, whereof the charge
cannot be lesse then £1200." ,
The Four Masters describe the situation of the forts erected by Docwra, as
follows : — " After landing they erected on both sides of the harbour three forts,
with trenches sunk in the earthen, as they had been ordered in England. One
of these forts, i.e. Dun na-long, was erected on O'Neill's part ofthe Country, in
the neighbourhood of Oireacht-XJi-Chiarain ; and two in O'DomhnaUl's Country.
one at Ciul-mor in O'Dochartaigh's Country, in the Cantred of Inis-Eoghain, and
the other to the South-west of that at Dolre-Cholulm-ClUe. The English im
mediately commenced sinking ditches around themselves and raising a strong
mound of earth and a large rampart, so that they were in a state to hold out
against them. These were stronger and more secure than Courts of lime and
stone in the erection of which much time and great labor might be spent.
After this they tore down the Monastery aud Cathedral, and destroyed all the
ecclesiastical edifices in the town, and erected houses and apartments of them."

when he perceived that they were not in the habit of going outside their encamp
ments through fear and dread, he made no account of them, and assembled his
forces to proceed into the south of Connacht, to plunder the Countries lying on both
sides of Sllabh-Echtghe, and especiaUy Thomond. He had good reason for this
indeed, for it'was these Earls, namely, the Earl of Clanrickard and the Earl of
Thomond, who had requested the Lord Justice and the CouncU to send over
this great army, to keep him in his own territory, away from them, for they
deemed it too often that he had gone into their territories. Having adopted
this resolution, he left O'Dochartalgh, (O'Doherty,) Chieftain of Inis-Eoghain,
i.e. Johu Og, son of John, son of FeUm O'Doherty, to watch the foreigners,
that they might not come to plunder his territory. He also left Niall Garbh
O'DomhnaUl, (O'DOnneU,) and some of his army encamped against him on the

mistake, for 160. P. O'Sullevan Beare makes the number 168. The Four
Masters give the following account of this transaction : —
" As for O'Domhnaill, he remained with his troops, without making any ex-
cursion (out of Tirconnell) from the time that he returned from the aforesaid
expedition in Thomond to the September following. After his soldiers and
hirelings had, within this period, rested themselves, he summoned them to
liim, to see whether he could get any advantage of the EngUsh. He was
informed that the horses of the English were sent out every day under the
charge of a party of English Cavalry to graze upon a grassy field that was
opposite thc town, i.e. Derry : when he heard of this, he began to meditate hoir

NOTES TO THE PRECEDING TRACT. 299
he could make a descent upon those horses ; and this is what he did : he took
privately, in the darkness of the night, a large party of his soldiers, and a
squadron of cavalry, (amounting to no less than six-hundred between horse
and foot,) to the brink of a steep rocky vaUey, which is on the flat mountain
to the north of Derry, from whence they could plainly see the people of the
town, who could not easily see them. He placed a smaU party of his cavalry
in ambush for the horses and the keepers, at concealed places not far from the
town, BO as to prevent them from returning to the town when they should
wish to do 60. They remained thus in ambush untU the break of day when
they perceived the horses with their keepers coming across the bridge as usual.
O'DomhnaiU's cavalry set out after them, and attacked and slew some of the
keepers ; but others made their escape by means of the fleetness and swiftness
of their horses. O'DomhnaiU's people then commenced driving olf as many of the
EngUsh horses as had be^n left behind in their power. The main body of their
own force coming up to assist them against the EngUsh, they sent the horses
before them. O'DomhnaiU ordered a party of his calvahy to go off with the
horses to a secure place. This was accordingly done ; and O'Domhnaill remained
behind ¦with a body of his cavalry which he selected, and with his foot soldiers."
" 'When the EngUsh perceived that their horses had been taken away from
them, they immediately arose, and taking their arms, set out in pursuit of
O'DomhnaiU. The General, Sir Henry Docwra, with his horsemen mounted on
their horses, (i.e. such of them as retained their horses In secure places, aud
had not lost them on that occasion, ) joined in the purSuit as rapidly as they
were able. 'V7hen O'Domhnaill saw the cavalry of the EngUsh in full speed after
him, he remained behind his infantry, with his troop of cavalry, untU the En
glish came up ¦with him. They made a courageous attack upon O'Domhnaill for
the recovery of their spoils, and of what was under their protection. O'DomhnaiU
sustained the onset vaUantly and resolutely, and a fierce battle was fought be
tween both parties. One of O'DomhnaiU's kinsmen, namely, Aedh, the son of
Aedh Dubh, son of Aedh Ruadh, made a well-aimed cast of a javelin at the
General, Sir Henry Docwra, and striking him directly in the forehead, wounded
him very severely. 'When the General was thus pierced, he returned back ;
and the EngUsh, seeing their chief, their adviser, and their mighty man,
wouiided, returned home in sorrow and disgrace, and pursued their horses no
further, O'DomhnaiU's people proceeded to their tents, and on reckoning the
horses which they had carried off, they found them to exceed two hundred
in number. O'DomhnaiU afterwards divided the horses among his gentlemen,
according to their deserts. "

the Life of Aedh Euadh or Red Hugh O'Donnell, by Peregrine O'Clery, Docwra

P. 245  On the third day of October came in Neale Garvie O'Donell. The
Four Masters give the following account of the treacherous proceedings of Niall
Garbh O'DomhnaiU :^ .
"O'DomhnaiU remained besieging the EngUsh, without moving from Ms terri
tory, until the end of October, when he began to make preparations to go again
into Thomond, to plunder it. ¦• After having come to this resolution, he as
sembled his forces, and made no delay until he came westwards across the SU-
geaoh, and to Baile-an-mhotaigh. He left Niall Garbh, the son of Conn, son of
Calbhach, son of Maghnus O'DomhnaUl, behind hlmln the territory, to defend
it against the EngUsh, and prevent them from plundering it.
"The English [now] began privately to entreat and Implore Niall Garbh
O'DomhnaiU [to join them], offering to confer the chieftainship of the territory
upon him, should they prove victorious. They promised him, moreover, many
rewards and much wealth, if he would come over to their aUiance. He Ustened
for a long time to their offers ; and his misfortune at length permitted him to
go over to them, a by the evil counsel of envious aud proud people who were
along with him ; but for this he was afterwards sorry. His three brothers,
hamely, Aedh Buidhe, Domhnall, and Conn, joined him in this revolt. The En
glish were, no doubt, the better of their going over to them : for they were weary
and fatigued for want of b sleep and rest every night, through fear of O'Domh
naill ; and they were diseased and distempered in consequence of the narrowness
of their sltuatlon,o and the old victuals, the salt and bitter flesh-meat they used,
and from the want of fresh meat, and other necessaries to which they had been
accustomed. Niall O'Domhnaill provided them with everything they stood in

He took ten hundred warriors with him to Leith -bhear' (Lifford,) a town upon
the banks of the same loch,<i and a celebrated residence of O'DomhnaUl : but at
this time the place was not fortified ; for tliere had not been any strong fortress
or castle of lime and stone there for a long time before (the one there last having
been destroyed) or any thing but a smaU rampart of earth and sods, surrounded
by a narrow, shaUow ditch of water, as preparations for the erection of a for
tress simUar to the one which had been there before.
" The guards, as soon as they perceived the English approaching, vacated this
fort through dread and fear, because O'DomhnaUl was not near [to assist] them.
The EngUsh thereupon entered the fort and raised large mounds and ramparts
of earth and stone to shelter them ; so that they were sufficiently fortified to
hold out against their enemies.
" One of O'DomhnaiU's faithful people foUowed after him with information con
cerning the state of the country, and told him what had happened in his ab
sence. O'DomhnaiU was much surprised and amazed that his kinsman and brother-
in-law had thus turned against him, for Nuala, the sister of O'DomhnaiU, was the
wife of NiaU. O'DomhnaiU returned from the province of Connacht ; for he had
not passed westwards beyond Balle-an-Mhotagh when the news overtook him, and
his forces as quickly as they were able ; but [no part of] his soldiei-s were able to
keep pace with him, except a few of his cavalry, and he arrived in the neigh
bourhood of Leith-bhear aforesaid. The EngUsh had not been able to make preys
or depredations before O'DomhnaiU returned back, but were [employed] strength
ening their fortress, and erecting ramparts ; and when they heard that O'Domh
naiU had arrived, they were afraid^ to come out of their fort for any thing they
wanted. " O'DomhnaiU remained at a place not far from the English, uutU some of his
foot-soldiers had come up with him. O'DomhnaiU thought it too long the EngUsh
remained without being attacked, and he did not wait for the coming up of [the
main body of] his army, but exhibited before the EngUsh the small number he
had, on the south side of Cruachan-Llghean,* to the north of the river. When
the English perceived him they marched out to meet him, with Niall Garbh
O'DomhnaiU and his brothers in the van, as leaders of the battle. They skir-

mlshed with each other, but there was no obstinate confiict on that flrst day,
though they continued in readiness for each other ; for the EngUsh thought that
O'DomhnaiU was in want of forces, g as he [really] was; and fearing that an am
bush might be laid for them, so that they did not wish to go far from the town
for that reason. It was the same case with O'DomhnaUl's people. It would be
unwise in them to come in colUsion ¦with the enemy so near their fort, ¦vrith the
smaU force of which they consisted. They [at length] separated from each
other, though not in peace or friendship. Some were wounded on both sides
by the discharging of javelins, arrows, and leaden baUs ; but more of" O'Domh
naiU's people were wounded in this skirmish on account of the fewness of theu-
number. " The English then proceeded to their houses, and O'DomhnaiU and his people
went to their tents ; and it was with anger and indignation that O'DomlinaiU
returned thither ; for it grieved him that his army had not come up with him on
that day ; for he was certain that, if he had had them with him at that time,
the English would not have escaped from him as they did. O'DomhnaiU after
wards, when his army had come up with him, laid a close seige to the English,
and pitched Ms camp witMn two thousand paces of Leith-bhear above-mentioned,
in order to protect Ms husbandmen, so that they might save the corn crops in
the neighbourhood of the English. He sent out spies and scouts every night to
reconnoitre the town, and not to permit any one to pass iu or out, unless they
should pass southwards across the river ; and he left no road or passage ¦within
one thousand paces of the town upon which he did not post guards and ambus
cades, to watch and spy the EngUsh, and hinder them from passing out un
noticed, but especiaUy the sons of Conn O'DomhnaiU and their people, for these
he considered were difficult to be watched, and it was on account of them that
Ms sentinels and ambuscades were so numerous.

" On one occasion O'DomhnaiU, before he left this camp, went towards the
EngUsh, to see if he could induce them to come outside the fortifications on the
level plain. 'When O'DomhnaiU's people had arrived opposite the town, the En-
^sh began to reconnoitre them ; but they did not saUy out against them, for
they perceived it was to offer defiance and chaUenge for battle they had come.
O'DomhnaiU's people then retumed back when they did not obtain what they
wanted, and they halted for some time on the brink of a river caUed Dael,k a
short distance to the north of the town. Large parties of them went to their
tents, and about other business, for they did not think that the English would
foUow them on that day. 'When Niall Garbh O'Domhnaill perceived O'DomhnaiU's
people scattered and unprepared for action, he told the EngUsh that they ought
now to attack them. The EngUsh at Ms bidding armed themselves quietly and
silently in the centre of their fortifications, in order that their enemies could
not see them untU they were armed and accoutred. When they were ready
they sallied out from their fortifications in battle array, and then, with Niall
and his brothers and people in the van, advanced against O'DomhnaUl's people.
O'DomhnaUl saw them advancing, and rejoiced at seeing them coming ; and
he placed his soldiers in their proper stations fronting them, with their warlike
weapons ; and he did not permit to shoot at them untU they had arrived at the
opposite bank of the river. They afterwards met together hand to hand, and
a sharp and furious battle was fought between both parties. The two hosts of
cavalry rushed to the charge, and began to fight with large spears and green-
headed lances. Niall O'DomhnaiU gave Maghnus, brother of O'DomhnaiU, a,
thrust of a sharp, long lance under the shoulder-blade, and, piercing the armour
with wMch he was clad, he buried it in his body, and wounded Ms internal parts.
¦When Rudhraighe O'Domhnaill, Righdamhna of Kineal-ConaiU, perceived Ms bro
ther wounded, he made a brave attack upon NiaU, and aimed a forcible and fu
rious thrust of a large javeUn at NiaU's breast ; but NiaU raised up the front of
the Mgh-rearing foreign steed wMch he rode, so that the spear struck the steed in
the forehead, and penetrated to Ms brain. Rudhraighe broke the socket of the ja
veUn in drawing it back by the thong, and left the iron blade buried in the horse ;
so that he held but the handle of it in Ms hand. The steedi finaUy died of this.

Wo is me that these heroes of Kineal-Conaill were not united in fight on one
side against their enemies, and that they were not at peace , for, while they
remained so, they were not bamshed or driven from their native territories, as
they afterwards were !
As for the English, wMle the cavalry were battling with each other, they
faced O'Domhnaill's infantry in a body, and drove them a short distance before
them ; but, however, only a few of them were wounded ; for the EngUsh did not
pursue them from the field of contest, because their leader^ had been wounded
in the confiict ; and they were obUged to return with Mm to Leith-bhear, where
he afterwards died. A great number of O'DomhnaiU's people pursued them for a
long distance, and continued to shoot at and cut them down with the sword, so
that numbers of them were slain and wounded. The pursuers thought that
they should have defeated them [the enemy] if the main host pursued them
further ; but fear did not permit those who had been repulsed in the beginning
to pursue them again.

fair wattles to be made for Maghnus O'Domhnaill, [on which] to carry him over
Bearnus. TMs was done according to orders. Many of his dear friends and faithful
people accompanied him to Dun-na-n-gaU, where a sick man's couch was prepared
for Mm, and O'DomhnaiU's physicians were brought to cure him ; but they could
effect no cure for Mm. They gave Mm up for death. There was a Monastery
in the neighbourhood ofthe fortress in wMch were sons of Ufe" , ofthe order of
St. Francis ; and the wisest of these were wont to visit him, to hear Ms confes
sion, to preach to him, aud to confirm Ms friendship with the Lord. He made
his confession without concealment, wept for his sins against God, repented his
evU thoughts and pride during life, and forgave Mm who had wounded him,
declaring that he himself was the cause, as he had made the first attack. Thus
he remained for a week, prepared for death every day, and a select father of the
aforesaid order constantly attending him, to fortify Mm against the snares of the
devU. He received then the bodJ^ of the Lord, and afterwards died on the 22nd
of October, having gained the victory over the devil and the world. He was
interred in the burial-place of his ancestors in the aforenamed monastery.
His father, i. e. Aedh, the son of Maghnus, son of Aedh Dubh, was at tMs time
a very old man, living in a state of dotage near the monastery. He was in

and victorious in Ms fights and battles before and during Ms chieftainship and
the preyer and plunderer of the territories far and near that wereTjound to^obey
him, asserting the right of his tribe from them until he made them obedient to
him ; a man who had laid aside the cares and anxieties of the world after having
given up his lordsMp to his son, and who was a good earner in the sight of God,
meriting rewards for his soul for a period of eight years untU he died at tMs
period. He was interred with due honor and veneration in the monastery of St.
Francis at Dun-na-n-gaU, in the burial-place of the lords who had successively
preceded Mm.
As for O'DomhnaiU, at the expiration of the thirty days during wMch he
continued besieging the English, he prepared to leave the place in wMch he had
been during that period, and to go to another place not less secure, a Uttle
further from the EngUsh, on the west brink of the River Finn, between them
aud Bearnas ; for he was afraid [of the effects] of the cold, rough, -wintry season
ou Ms soldiers, who were watching and guarding every night against the English
for it was theu AUhaUowtide ; and he thought it time to bring Ms army to a
place of rest after their great labor, for they had not slept at ease for a long time.
The forces proceeded to the aforesaid place. They pitched a camp under the
shelter of the wood that was in the vicimty of the river. They erected mUitary
tents and habitations, and proceeded to cut do^wn the trees around them, and
raised a strong rampart between themselves and their enemies, so that it was
difficult to get across it to attack them. Here he passed the time imtU news
reached Mm that two sMps had arrived from Spain to the Irish, who were engag
ed in the war, with money and arms, powder aud lead. These sMps put in at
the harbour of InbMrmorti in Connacht. He sent the same news to O'NeiU
and went himself to Connacht in the month of December; leaving after him Ms
brother, Rudhraighe O'DomhnaUl, with the greater part of Ms forces, in the camp
wMch we have mentioned, to defend the country. On Ms arrival in Tir-FMachrach
ofthe Muaidhe, he sent messengers to the above-mentioned sMps, to request them
come into the harbour of KeaUa-beagar. He remained himself at Dun-NelU ;s for

P. 255, — The Abbaye of Dunnagall, in Irish, 6uij i)A ii-5aU, i.e. a fort of the
foreigners, now Donegal, in the barony of Tirhugh, Co. of Donegal. TMs
monastery was founded for Franciscan friars in the year 1474, by Aedh Euadh,
son of NiaU Garbh O'DomhnaUl, chief of TirconneU, and his wife Finola,
daughter of Conchobhar na Srona O'Briain, King of Thomond. The remains
of the buUding are still to be seen in tolerable preservation at a short distance
from the town of Donegal. See Annals of the Four Masters, Ed. J.O'D. In
troductory Remarks, p. xxviU. xxix.
The Four Masters give the following account of the proceedings of Niall
Garbh and the English in TirconneU, from this period untU O'DomhnaiU set
out for Kinsale :
" As soon as O'Domhnaill heard of the arrival of tMs numerous army at the
place wMch we have before mentioned, he assembled Ms forces,, and did not halt
until he crossed the Coirr-sUabh, and the [River] BuiUe, into Magh-luirg ; and
pitched his camp directly opposite them [Ms enemies]. They remained thus for
some time face to face, spying and watching each other. Many were the con
flicts, man-slaughters, and affrays which took place between them wMle they
remained thus in readiness .for each other, until [at length] the EngUsh army
became wearied, and returned in sorrow to their houses.
" After this, news reached O'DomhnaiU, that NiaU Garbh, the son of Conn, son
of Calbhach, with his [O'Donnell's] EngUsh and Irish, had come from the east [of
TirconneU], across Bearnas, and encamped at Dun-na-n-gaU, in the east of Tir-
Aedha. When O'DomhnaiU received the news that the EngUsh had arrived at that
place he felt grieved for the misfortune of the monastery, and that the EngUsh
should occupy and Inhabit it instead of the Sons of Life and the Culdees, whose
rightful property it was tiU then ; and he could not forbear from going to try if he
could reUeve them. What he did was tMs : he left the farmers and betaghs of Tir
conneU, with their herds and flocks throughout Low er Connacht, -with some of Ms
soldiers to protect them against [Invaders from] the harbours, kerns, and foreign
tribes, [and] he Mmself proceeded with the greater part of Ms army, across the
[rivers] SUgach, Dubh, Drobhaeis, and Eirne, northwards, and pitched Ms camp
in strong position exactly at Carraig, which is upwards of two thousand paces
from Dun-na-n-gaU, where Niall Garbh O'DomhnaiU aud Ms EugUsh were [sta
tioned]. As for O'Domhnaill he ordered great numbers of Ms forces alternately to
blockade the monastery by day and night, so as to prevent the EngUsh from
coming outside its waUs to destroy anything in the country. Neither of the armies
did by any means pass their time happily or pleasantly, for killing and destroy
ing, conflict and shooting, were carried on by each party against the other. The
EngUsh were reduced to great straits and distress by the long siege in wMch they
were kept by O'DomhnaUl's people ; and some of them used to desert to O'Domh
naiU's pamp in twos and threes, in consequence of the distress and straits in wMch
they were from thc w.<int of a proper ration of food. Thus they passed the time
until the end of Septcrahcr, v/hon. God willcrl to take revenge and satisfaction of

NOTES TO THE PRECEDING TRACT. 311
the EngUsh for the profanation and abuse wMch they had offered to the churches
and apartments of the psalm-singing ecclesiastics, namely of the monastery of
Dun-na-n-gaU, and the monastery of Machaire-Jieag, in wMch the EngUsh whom
we have mentioned were quartered and encamped, and others of them who were in
the castle of Dun-na-n-gaU. The vengeance wMch God wreaked upon them was
tMs, however it cahie to pass, viz., fire fell among the powder wMch they had in
the monastery of Dun-na-n-gaU for carrying on the war; so that the boarded apart-
ments,andaUthe stone and wooden buUdings ofthe entire monastery were burned.
As soon as the spies and sentinels, whom O'DomhnaUl had posted to spy and watch
the English, perceived the brown-red mass of flames, and the dense cloud of vapor
and smoke that rose up overthe monastery, they began to discharge their leaden
buUets and their fiery flashes, in order that O'DomhnaiU might [hear them, and]
immediately come to them, to attack the EngUsh, for they thought it would oc
casion too long a delay to send him messengers. TMs signal was not slowly
responded to by O'DomhnaUl and his army, for they vehemently and rapidly ad
vanced with their utmost speed, in troops and squadrons, to where their people
were at the monastery. Bloody and furious was the attack which they made
upon the EngUsh and their own friends and kinsmen who were there. It was
difficult and [almost] impossible for O'DomhnaUl's people to withstand the flre
of the soldiers who were in the monastery and the castle of Duu-na-n-gaU, and
in a sMp wMchwas in the harbour opposite them ; yet, however, O'DomhnaiU's
people had the better of it, although many of them were cut off. Aniong the
gentlemen who feU here on the side of O'DomhnaiU was Tadhg, the son of
Cathal Og Mao Diarmad, a distinguished captain of the SU-MaeUruanaidh. On
the other side fell Conn Og, the son of Conn, the brother of NiaU Garbh O'Domh
naiU, with three hundred others, in that slaughter.
As soon as NiaU Garbh O'DomhnaiU perceived the great jeopardy in wMch his
people and the EngUsh were, he passed unnoticed westwards, along the margin
of the harbour, to Machaire-beag, where a great number of the English were
[stationed] ; and he took them with him to the rCUef of the other party of
EngUsh, who were reduced to distress by O'DomhnaiU and his people ; and the
crew of the ship proceeded to fight, and kept up a fire in defence of them, uutU
they had passed inside the central walls of the monastery.
When O'DomhnaiU observed the great strength of the place in which they were
and the great force that had come to the relief of the EngUsh, he ordered his
soldiers to withdraw from the conflict and to return back ; for he did not deem
it meet that they shoi^ld be cut off in an unequal contest. TMs was done at
his bidding ; and he removed his camp nearer to the monastery, and sent some
of Ms people to Maohaire-beag, where the English whom NiaU Garbh had brought
with him to assist his people were [stationed]. The burning of the monastery
and tMs occurrence, happened precisely on Michaelmas-day.
O'Domhnaill remained thus blockading the English, and reducing them to
great straits and exigencies, from thc end of September to thc end of October,

After tills her Majesty's Officers in Ireland had recourse to every stratagem
that cunning and subtlety could suggest to take him prisoner or assassinate him ;
but fortunately for him, he had been educated in their own school, aud had
learned to avoid them with equal skill and caution. The Lord Deputy com

hands upon his sacred person, in n letter to thc Lords in England written on

NOTES TO THE PRECEDING TRACT. 315
the 25th of February, 1602-3, from which an extract is here given as a curious
specimen of the poUtics and morals Of those times :
" Aud it is most sure that never Traitor knew better how to keep his own
Head than tMs, nor any Subjects have a more dreadful Awe to lay violent
Hands on their sacred Prince, than these people have to touch the persons of
their O'Neals ; and he, that hath as pestUent a Judgment as ever any had, to
nourish aud to spread Ms own Infection, hath the ancient SweUing and Desire
of Liberty in a conquered Nation to work upon, thsir Fear to be rooted out,
& to have their own faults punished upon all particular Discontents, and gene
rally, over aU the Kingdome, the Fear of Persecution for ReUgion, the debasing
ofthe Coin (wMch is grievous unto all sorts) and a Death and Famine, which
is already begun, and must, of Necessity, grow shortly to Extremity, the
least of wMch alone have been many Times sufficient Motives to drive the
best and most quiet Estates into sudden confusion. These wUl keep all spirits
from settUng, breed new Combinations, and, I fear, even stir the Towns them
selves to soUcit foreign Aid," &c. &c. '
It appears by another letter given by Moryson book iii. c. 2. and dated 25th
March 1603, addressed by Mountjoy to Master Secretary, that the designs against
O'NeiU at the time of Ms being received unto mercy were exceedingly dark and
inhuman. " I have received by Captain Hays her Majesty's Letters of the 6th of
February, wherein I am directed to send for Tyrone, with promise of security
for Ms Ufe only, and upon Ms arrival, without further Assurance, to make
staye with Mm till her Pleasure should be further known ; and at the same
Time, I received another from her Majesty, of the 17th February, wherein it
pleased her to enlarge the Authority given unto me, to assure him of Life,
Liberty, and Pardon, upon some conditions remembered therein ; and withal
I received a letter from yourself of the 18th of February, recommending to
me your own Advice, to fulfil (as far as I possibly could) the Meaning of
her Majesty's first letter, and signifying her Pleasure that I should seek by
all the best Means I can, to promise Mm his Pardon by some other Name than
Earl of Tyrone, and rather by the name of Baron of Dungannon, or if needs
must be, by the name of some other Earl. Secondly to deUver him Ms Country
in less Quantity, and with less Power than before he had. And lastly to force
him to clear his Paces and Passages, made difficult by him against any Entry
into his Country. And now, since it hath pleased her M.<ijessy, by so great a
Trust, to give pie so comfortable Arguments of her Favour, I am incouraged
the more freely to presume to declare myself in this great Matter, wMch I caU
great, because the Consequence is great and dangerous to be dealt in ¦without
the Warrant of her gracious Interpretation. And though my opinion herein
should proceed from a long and advised Consideration, described with large and
many Circumstances, and confirmed with strong and judicial Reasons, yet,
because I think it fit to hasten away this Messenger, I wUl write of these Things

and Relation of the Lord President, now in his Journey towards you ; and the
rather, because 1 find him to concur with me in the Apprehensipn of tMs
Cause, and of the State of aU other things of tMs Kingdom. And first for her
Majesty's first Letter, I pray you. Sir, beUeve Me that I have omitted notMng,
both by Power and Policy, to ruin Mm, and utterly to cut him off; and if, by
either, I procure Ms Head, before I have engaged her Royal Word for Ms
Safety, / do protest I will do it ; and much more be ready to possess myself of
Ms Person, If, by only Promise of Life, or by any other Means whereby I shall
not directly scandal the Majesty of pubUck Faith, I can procure him to put
Mmself into my Power. But to speak my opinion freely, I tMnk that he, or
any Man in his Life, which he knoweth how so weU to secure by many other
Ways ; for, if he fly into Spain, that is the least whereof he can be assured,
and Most men {but especially he) do make little Difference between the value
of their Life aud Liberty ; and to deceive him I tMnk it wiU be hard, for though
Wiser Men than he may be over-reached, yet he hath so many Eyes of Jealousy
awake." — Moryson book iu. c. 2, Ed. of 1735, vol. U. p. 275.
In the mean time Queen Elizabeth died, (on the 24th of March, 160|) and
Fynes Moryson boasts that he himself contrived by laudable cunning that
O'Neill should make his submission to her, though he (Moryson) knew that she
was dead. He inade Ms submission on Ms knees at Mellifont on the 30th of
March following, but when he heard the news of the Queen's death, he could
not refrain from tears, being now a sexaglnarlan, and seeing the helpless state
to wMch he was reduced by the artifice ot Ms enemies ; for the pardon and pro
tection he received rested on the dead body of Elizabeth. He had also lost the
opportunity, either of continuing the war against a weak prince, or making a
meritorious submission to the new sovereign who was believed to have deduced
his descent from the ancient Irish.
The Lord Deputy's honor was however pledged, and accordingly on the 6th
of AprU, he did not only renew his protection in King James's name, but soon
after gave him liberty to return to Ulster to settle Ms affairs ; but first, O'Neill,
now once more Earl of Tyrone, delivered up hostages, and also renewed Ms
submission in a set form of words, wherein he " abjured all foreign power and
jurisdiction in general, and the King of Spain's in particular," and renounced
the name of O'NeiU and aU power and authority over the Urrighs of Ulster and
all his lands, except such as should be granted to him by the King ; and he pro
mised future obedience, and to discover his correspondence with the Spaniards.
At the same time he wrote a letter to the King of Spain, requesting to send
home to Mm his eldest son Henry, who, however, never returned, for he was
soon after strangled at Brussels. See the Hev. M. Kelly's Edition of O'SuUe-
van's Beare Hist. Cathol. Iber.

The Pour Masters give the foUowing account of the proceeding of the O'Domh
naiU, from the period of the defeat at Kinsale to that of the death of Aedh,
Earl of Tyrone, at Rome. See Annals of the Four Masters, p. 2324,5.
" As for O'NeUl and the Irish [adherents] who remained in Ireland after the
defeat at Kinsale, what O'Domhnaill (Aedh Ruadh) had instructed and com
manded them to do, before his departure for Spain, was to exert their bravery in
defence of their patrimony against the EngUsh; until he should return with forces
to their reUef, and to remain in the camp in which they [then] were, because their
loss was small, although they had been routed. He had observed to them also
that it would not be easy for them to return safe to their couutry, if that were
their wish, because their enemies and adversaries would pursue aud attack them ;
and those who had been affectionate and kind towards them, on their coming
into Munster, would be spiteful and malicious towards them on their return to
their territories, and that they would attack and plunder them, and scoff at aud
mock them.
" The cMefs of the Irish did not, however, take Ms advice, and did not attend
to his request, because he Mmself was not among them ; but they resolved on
returning to their territories. They afterwards set out in separate hosts, with
out ceding the leadersMp to any one lord ; but each lord and chieftain apart,
with Ms own friends and faithful people foUowing Mm. Alas ! how diffetent
were the spirit, courage, energy, hauteur, threatening, and defiance ofthe Irish,
on their return back at this time, from those they had when they first set out on
tMs expedition. The surmises of the Prince O'DomhnaiU, and every thing which
he predicted, were verified ; for, not only did their constant enemies rise up be
fore and after them to give them battle, but their [former] friends, confederates
and aUies, rose up, and were attacking and shooting them on every narrow road
through wMch they passed. It was not easy for the chiefs and gentlemen
the soldiers and warriors, to protect and defend their people, on account of the
length of the way that lay before them, the number of their enemies, aud the
severity and inelemency of the boisterous winter season, for it was then the end
of winter precisely. Howbeit they reached their territories after great dangers,
without any remarkable loss ; and each lord of a territory began to defend Ms
patrimony as weU as he was able.
" Rudhraighe O'DomhnaiU, the son of Aedh, son of Maghnus, was he to whom
O'Domhnaill had, on the night before Ms departure, left the government of his
people aud lands, and everytMng which was hereditary to him, untU he should

318 NOTES TO THE PRECEDING TRACT.
return back again ; and he had commanded O'Neill and Rudhraighe to be friendly
to each other, as themselves both had been. They promised Mm this tMng.
" The Kineal-Conaill then thronged around the representative oftheir prince,
though most of them deemed the separation from their former hero and leader
as the separation of soul from body. O'DomhnaUl's son, Rudhraighe, proceeded
to lead his people with resoluteness and constant bravery through every difficult
and intricate passage, and through every danger and peril which they had to en
counter since they left Kinsale until they arrived, in the very beginning of spring,
in Lower Connacht, where the cows, farmers, property, and cattle of the Kineal-
Conaill were [dispersed] throughout the country, in Corann, in Luighne, and in
Tir-Fhlachrach of the Muaidhe. God was the herdsman and shepherd who had
come to them thither ; for although O'DomhnaiU, at Ms departure, had left his
people much of the cattle ofthe neighbouringterritorles, Rudhraighe did not suffer
them to be forcibly recovered from him by any territory from which they had
been taken ; for he distributed and stationed Ms soldiers and warriors upon the
gaps of danger and the undefended passes of the country, so that none would
attempt to come through them to plunder or persecute any of Ms people.
' ' O'Gallchubhalr (Eoghan the son of John), had beeu keeping the castle of
BaUe-an-mhotaigh for O'DomhnaiU, since he set out for Munster, untU tMs time ;
but as soon as Rudhraighe returned he gave the eastle up to Mm, so that it was
under Ms command."
"The castle of Baile -atha-Seanaigh, iu which guards had been placed by
O'DomhnaUl, was taken by NiaU Garbh O'DomhnaUl and the EngUsh, after they
had broken and greatly battered it by a great gun which they had carried to it ;
and the warders, seeing that there was no assistance or reUef at hand, escaped
from it by flight. This castle was taken in spring.
"Inis-Salmer [at BaUyshannon] and Ims-mlc-Conaill were taken by Aedh
Buidhe, the son of Conn O'Domhnaill ; and Cormac the sou of Donnchadh Og
Meg-Uidhir, was also taken prisoner by Mm.
" NiaU Garbh, with his brothers, and the EngUsh, went in boats on Loch
Eirne, and took and destroyed Inis-keithUun. They also took [the monasteries
of] Daimhinis and Lisgabhail, and left warders in them."
" Mac Suibhne Bagh-aineach (Donnchadh the sou of Maeil-muire) came over
to Niall O'DomhnaiU and the EngUsh. Niall and Mac Suibhne fought a battle
with a party of the Meg-Uidhir and Mac Cabas, in wMch many were slain ; and
Brian, the son of Dubh-gall Mac Caba, was taken prisoner by them.
" The island of Cill-Tighearnaigh, [KUUerny bar. of Lurg] in Fermanagh,
was taken by Domhnall, the son of Conn O'DomhnaiU ; and he carried off many
spoUs from it.
" Aedh Buidhe, the son of Conn O'Domhnaill, took a prey from Tuathal, sou
of Felim Dubh O'NeiU, in the country of the Sllcht-Airt O'NeUl.
' ' Sir Oliver Lambert came in the summer to Sligeach with a numerous army
of English and Irish, and there encamped .against Rudhraighe O'Domhnaill, who

NOTES TO THE PRECEDING TRACT. 319
was to the south of them, and against [the inhabitants of] Lower Connacht in
general to try whether they could seize on any of their property. Cath-bhar, the
son of Aedh Dubh O'DomhnaiU, went and ratified his peace and friendship with
Sir OUver. The place at wMch Cath-bhar had Ms residence and fortress at this
time was Dun-AiUe, [DunaUy] to the west of Sligeach ; [and] Sir Oliver and Cath-
bhar prepared to go -with their forces into Fermanagh, in search of prey and spoUs.
'¦ As soon as Rudhraighe O'Domhnaill heard of tMs expedition, it grieved Mm
that Ms alUes and friends should be plundered, without coming to their reUef, if
he could ; and he repaired to O'Ruairc (Brian Og), to request of Mm to join his
forces, that they might engage the EngUsh at a pass where he expected to get '
an advantage of them. He also requested Mm to assist him in the war until
O'DomhnaiU should return to relieve the Irish, and to give Mm one of his strong
impregnable castles, as a resting place for Ms wounded, disabled, feeble, and sick
people ; and, moreover, that he would aUow Ms people [to remove] with their
property and cattle into Ms territory. O'Euairc refused the son of O'Domhnaill
everytMng he requested of him, and the other was grieved and insulted at his
refusal ; but seeing that he was not strong enough to cope with the English, he
remained to protect Ms own people.
" As for Sir OUver, he and Cath-bhar went, with their muster, and plundered
the neighbouring parts of Fermanagh; and, after carrying off many spoUs, they
retumed to their houses.
" Sir OUver was informed ofthe proceedings of Eudhraighe O'Domhnaill, and
how he had requested of O'Euairc to join Mm, to obstruct him [Sir OUver] in the
expedition which we have before mentioned, and his animosity against him grew
greater on account of it ; and he, therefore, sent for additional forces to Athluain,
to ¦wreak Ms vengeance upon Eudhraighe. As soon as Eudhraighe heard that
the English of AtMualn were approaching him from the south side, and the En
gUsh of SUgeach from the other side, he collected Ms property, his cattle, flocks,
and herds, [and moved] ¦with them across CoirrshUabh-na-Seaghsa into Magh-
luirg, from thence across the Sinann into Muintir-Eolais, and to SKabh-an-
' laralnn, in Conmaicne-Reln ; so that the EngUsh seized uo portion of them ; and
the EngUsh of AtMuain returned to their homes without gaining auy victory on
that occasion. The people of the son of O'DomhnaiU [then] returned back again
with their cattle to the places from wMch they had set out, namely to Corann,
Luighne, and Tir-Fhiachrach.
" Rudhraighe Mmself then set out with all Ms forces, and arrived at the is
land of Loch-Iasgach [Esk] to the east side of Dun-na-n-gaU, where O'Domh
naiU's warders were, and where O'Conchobhair Sligeach was left in custody,
since he had been taken by O'DomhnaUl until the end of that summer. 'When
he came to tMs castle, his people there were much rejoiced at his arrival. O'Con
chobhair promised to be entirely submissive to O'DomhnaiU's son ; and after they
had entered into a treaty of friendsMp with each other, he released O'Concho
bhair from captivity ; and they afterwards returned back to Connacht.

320 NOTES TO THE PRECEDING TRACT.
" At this time, that is, in autumn, the EngUsh of Rosscomain and Upper
Connacht mustered a numerous army, to march against Rudhraighe O'DomlmaUl
again; and they did not delay until they arrived at the monastery of BuiUe. Eudh
raighe and O'Conchobhair mustered another army to meet them ; and they
marched across Coirrshliabh, and pitched their camp before the town at the other
side. They took their people, -with their property and cattle, along with them,
from Magh-0'Gadhra in Cuil-O-bh-FMnn [Coolavin], to the eastern extremity
of the Coirrshliabh ; for they were afraid that the English of SUgeach would
plunder them in their absence, were they far distant from them. Thus they re
mained for some time, face to face, in readiness for each other ; and many persons
were disabled and wounded between them, wMle in the monastery. The English
deemed It too long they had been in that situation ; and they resolved to face
Bealach-Buidhe, and pass it in despite of Rudhraighe and O'Conchobhair.
They were met aud responded to by the Irish ; and a fierce battle was fought
between them, in which many of the EngUsh were slain ; so that they [the
survivors] were compelled to return back, after being much disheartened.
They afterwards left the monastery, and returned to Rosscomain.
' ' Rudhraighe and O'Conchobhair proceeded across ColrrshUabh, and pitched
their camp at Eas-dara, to wage war -with the EngUsh of SUgeach. One
day they overtook a party of the EngUsh aforementioned, who were cutting
down the corn and green crops of the country, because they were not rich in
provisions, and they were annihilated by them at once. They [i. e. the English
of Sligeach aud Rudhraighe O'DomhnaiU and his party] afterwards made a
months's truce with each other."
"Thus they passed the time untU the beginning of ¦winter, when the Lord
Lieutenant and General of the war of Ireland (namely, Charles Blount, Lord
Mountjoy) sent messengers and letters to Rudhraighe O'DomhnaiU, requesting
him to come upon terms of peace and tranquillity. The import of these [letters]
was, that it was meet for Mm to come upon terms of peace and friendsMp, and
that, if he would not, he should be sorry for it, for that news had reached him
that O'Domhnaill, Rudhraighe's brother, had died in Spain, and that the war was
at an end by his death, and that it would be a great want of ¦wisdom, and [self]
delusion, in him, if he did not make peace with him [Mountjoy] immediately.
" As soon as he had read the letters, Rudhraighe caUed his advisers to him, to
consider what he should do ; and he began to deliberate with them lu council.
Some of them said that the [report of] O'Domhnaill's death was not true, but
that the story had been fabricated, [and sent Mm] to aUure and deceive him
[Rudhraighe], and to bind him by law. Another party asserted that the rumor
was true, that it was good advice to accept of the peace, when it was requested
of them ; so that what they finaUy agreed upon was, that he and O'Conchobhair
Sligeach should go to Athluain, to ratify their peace with the General. They
afterwards went, and were welcomed by the General ; and he showed great
honor and respect to the son of O'DomhnaUl, and made peace with him on behalf

of the King, and confirmed his friendsMp with Tiim in particular. He then re
commended Mm to return, if he thought proper, to his patrimony.
" O'Neill (Aedh, the son of Feardorcha) and most ofthe Irish of Leath-Chuinn,
except O'Ruairc, came in under peace ; for a proclamation for a general peace,
and a restoration of his blood and territory to every one that wished for it, had
been issued by His Majesty King James, after he had been appointed in the place
of the Queen [as King] over England, France, and Ireland.
" Mac Suibhne Fanad (Domhnall) came under the law, to join Niall
O'Domhnaill. " Mac Sulbhne-na-d-Tuath (Maelmulre, the son of Murchadh), and Cath-bharr
Og, the son of Cathbharr, son of Maghnus O'Domhnaill, went to Tirconaill, with
their people and cattle, to wage war with NiaU Garbh and the EngUsh. They
made no delay until they arrived at the Rosses and the Islands. They had not
been long here when they were plundered by Niall and his kinsmen : and Cath
bharr Og was taken prisoner, and detained in custody.
" The people of Rudhraighe O'DomhnaiU repaired to TirconalU with aU their
property, cattle, and various effects, in the.first month of spring. But Rudhraighe
Mmself, with Ms gathering and muster of Irish and English, with Captain Guest,
went (before his people had removed from the west) to revenge and get satisfaction
of O'Ruairc (Brian Og), for the insult and dishonor he had some time before
offered Mm (as he had in contemplation some time before) ; so that they plundered
and ravaged Breifne, both its crops and corn, and all the cattle they could seize
upon, for the greater part of them had been driven into the wilds and recesses
of the territory. A few persons were slain between them, among whom were
Eoghan, the son of Feardorcha O'GaUchubhair, and Toirrdhealbhach, the son of
Mac Lochlainn, who feU by each other on that occasion. A party of the EngUsh
were left in garrison at Drum-da-eithcar, for the purpose of plundering the coun
try around them. O'Ruairc was thenceforward obliged to remain with a few
troops in the woods or precipitous vaUeys, or on the islands in the lakes of Ms
territory. '• As for NiaU Garbh O'Domhnaill, a letter arrived from Dublin to Mm, re
questing of Mm to come before the Lord Justice and the Council, to receive a
patent for TlrconaUl, as a reward for Ms services and Ms assistance to the Crown.
He neglected this thing ; and what he did was, to go to KlU-meic-nenaln, and send
for O'Firghil, the Comharb of ColamklUe ; and he was styled O'Domhnaill, with
out consulting the King's representative or the Council. After the Lord Justice
and the CouncU had heard of this, they became Incensed against NiaU, and even
the General, Sir Henry Docwra, did not weU Uke him, although he had been
faithful to Mm, and had rendered Mm much service before that time.
"¦Rudhraighe O'DomhnaiU happened to be in Dublin at this time ; and he was
cited to appear before the Lord Justice and the Council. Letters and writings
were sent with him to Sir Henry Docwra, ordering him to take Niall Garbh pri
soner. Some captains were sent in company with him ; and when Rudhraighe

arrived at Derry, the Governor sent a party of the officers and captains of Derry
* • * Tuathal, the son of the Dean O'GaUchubhair; Aedh Buidhe, the son of
John Og ; and FeUlm, the son of John Og, with others besides them, were taken
prisoners on that occasion, NiaU Garbh made Ms escape shortly afterwards, and
proceeded himself, with his kinsmen and people, into the woods of Keann-Maghair
[now Kinnaweer in the north of Kilmacrenan parish.]
" At tMs time Maghnus Og O'Sruthein was kiUed by DomhnaU, the son of Conn
O'DomhnaUl, in revenge of Ms brother, Calbhach, son of Conn, whom he [Magh
nus] had slain some time before. It would have been better for Mm that he had not
done this deed, for many evils redounded to them [Ms famUy] on account of it ;
for orders were given to Rudhraighe O'DomhnaiU and all the Irish that were with
Mm, to the captains who had come with him into the territory, and to Capt. Guest,
who had been in Ms company in Connacht, to pursue NiaU, Ms brothers and
people, and to plunder and prey them. He [Eudhraighe] did as he was ordered,
so that not a single head of cattle was left with NiaU's people, the others having
carried off ¦with them several thousand head of cattle ; so that vast numbers of
those who were plundered died of cold and famine. Rudhraighe divided the preys,
and gave their due proportions of them to the gentlemen who came in Ms army.
Aedh Buidhe, the son of Conn, was wounded in the ancle ; and he was sent to
Crannog-na-n-Duim in Ros-GuiU, in the Tuathas, to be healed. The same Aedh
was taken prisoner by the EngUsh, and conveyed to Derry, to be confined ; and
the Governor declared that he would not Uberate him untU the person who com
mitted the slaying (DomhnaU, son of Conn) should come in Ms ramsom. NiaU
and DomhnaU afterwards repaired to the Governor on parole [of honor] ; and
Aedh Buidhe was set at liberty, and DomhnaU detained.
"Niall O'DomhnaiU afterwards went to England, to soUcit pardon for Ms
offences, and to obtain the reward for his service and aid to the Crown of England
from King James. Rudhraighe O'DomhnaiU also went to England from the same
motives, although the services of both to the Crown were very different indeed.
Each of them exhibited his right to TircouaiU. The King and CouncU then
ordered that Rudhraighe O'DomhnaUl should be Earl over TlrconaUl, and that
NiaU should possess Ms own patrimonial inheritance, namely, that tract of coun
try-extending from Leachta-Siubhalne, westwards, to Seascann-Lubanach, lying
on both sides of the River Finn. Both theu returned to Ireland in peace and
amity, matters having been thus settled between them.
" NiaU Garbh, the son of Rudhraighe, son of Egnechan, son of Egnechan,
son of Neachtan, son of Toirr-dhealbhach-an-FMna O'DomhnaiU, died.
" An Intolerable famine prevailed all over Ireland."
A.D. 1605  " Sir Arthur Chichester, Lord Justice of Ii-eland, and the Earl of
Tyrone (Aedh, the son of Feardorcha), went to Srath-ban. O'NeUl claimed a por
tion of the territory which NiaU O'DomhnaiU had obtained from the King,
namely Moen-tacht. Niall produced before the Lord Justice the proofs that he
had of his right to Moentaoht, in succession from his ancestors ; and, among the

NOTES TO THE PRECEDIRG TRACT. 323
rest, he produced the charters which Maghnus O'Domhnaill had obtained from
O'NeUl (Conn Bacach) for setting at liberty Henry, the son of John, whom
O'DomhnaiU (Maghnus) had iu his custody. The Lord Justice, Sir Arthur,
having understood their stories on both sides, he adjudged Moentaoht to NiaU,
and said that O'NeiU could not by right claim the lands, inasmuch as his title,
having been more than sixty years in abeyance, had become obsolete. Both
were obUged to abide by this decision.
A.D. 1606. " MegrUidMr (Cuconnacht) and Donnchadh, the sou of Math
ghamhain, son ofthe Bishop O'Briain, brought a ship ¦with them to Ireland, and
put in at the harbour of Suileach. They took with them from Ireland the Earl
O'NeiU (Aedh, the son of Feardorcha), and the Earl O'Domhnaill (Rudhraighe,
the son of Aedh, son of Maghnus), with a great number of the chieftains of the
province of Ulster. These were they who went with O'NeiU, namely, the
Countess Catherina, the daughter of Meg-Aenghusa, her three sons, Aedh the
Baron, John, and Brian ; Art Og, the son of Cormac, son ofthe Baron ; Feardor
cha, son of Conn, son of O'NeUl ; Aedh Og, the son of Brian, son of Art O'NeiU ;
and many others of his faithful friends. These were they who went with the
Earl O'DomhnaiU ; Cath-bharr, his brother, and his sister, Nuala ; Aedh, the
Earl's son, wanting three weeks of being one year old ; Rois, the daughter of
O'Dochartalgh, and wife of Cath-bharr, with her son Aedh, aged two years and
three months ; the son of Ms brother, DomhnaU Og, the son of Domhnall ;
Neachtain, the son of Calbhach, son of Donnchadh Cairbreach O'DomhnaiU ; to
gether with many others of Ms faithful friends. They entered the sMp on the
festival of the Holy Cross, in autumn.
" TMs was a distinguished crew for one sMp; for it is Indeed certain that the
sea had not supported, and the winds had not wafted from Ireland, in modern
times, a party of one ship who would have been more illustrious or noble, in
point of genealogy, or more renowned for deeds, valor, prowess, or Mgh achieve
ments, than they, if God had permitted them to remain in their patrimonies
untU their children should have reached the age of manhood. Woe to the heart
that meditated, woe to the mind that conceived, woe to the council that decided
on, the project of their setting out on this voyage, -without knowing whether they
should ever return to their native principaUties or patrimonies to the end of the
world. A.D. 1608. " Great dissensions and strife arose between the Governor of Derry,
Sir George Pawlett, and O'Dochartalgh (Cathair, the son of John Og.) The Gov
ernor not only offered him insult and abuse by word, but also inflicted chastise
ment on his body ; so that he would rather have suffered death than live to brook
such insult and dishonor, or defer or delay to take revenge for it ; and he was
filled with anger and fury, so that he nearly ran to distraction and madness.
What he did was, to consult with his friends how he should take revenge for the
insult which was inflicted upon him. What they first unanimously resolved, on
the 3rd of May, was to invite to him Captain Hart, who was at Cuil-mor (a fort

324 NOTES TO THE PRECEDING TRACT.
on the margin of Loch Foyle, below the Derry we have mentioned), and to take
him prisoner. [This was doue], and he obtained the fort in his release. He re
paired immediately at daybreak to Derry, and awoke the soldiers of that town
with the sword. The Governor was slain by Eoghan, the sonof Niall, son of Gerald
O'Dochartaigh, and Lieutenant Corbie by John, the son of Aedh, son of Aedh
Dubh O'Domhnaill. Many others were slain besides these. Capt. Henry Vaughan
and the wife of the Bishop of the town were taken prisoners. They afterwards
plundered and burned the town, and carried awa}' immense spoUs from thence.
' ' Alas ! although it was no wonder that this noble chieftain should have aveng
ed his dishonor, innuinerable and indescribable were the evUs that sprang up
and puUulated in the enth-e province of Ulster through tMs warUke rising, wMch
he undertook against the King's law ; for from it resulted Ms own death, on the
18th of July following, by the Chief Marshal of Ireland, Robert Wingfield, and
Sir Oliver Lambert. He was cut into quarters between Derry and CuU-mor,
and his head was sent to Dublin, to be exhibited ; and many of the gentlemen
and chieftains ofthe province, too numerous to be particularized, were also put
to death. It was Indeed from it, and from the departurfe of the Earls we have
mentioned, it came to pass that their principalities, their territories, their estates,
theu- lands, their forts, their fortresses, their fruitful harbours, and their fishful
bays, were taken from the Irish of the province of Ulster, aud given in their pre
sence to foreign tribes ; and they were expelled and banished into other countries,
where most of them died.
" Niall Garbh O'Domhnaill, with Ms brothers [Aedh Buidhe and DomhnaU],
and his son, Neachtain, were taken prisoners about the festival of St. John in
this year, after being accused of having been in confederacy with O'Dochartalgh.
They were afterwards sent to DubUn, from hence NiaU and Neachtain were sent
to London, and committed to the Tower, NiaU having been freed from death by
the decision of the law ; and they [Niall aud Neachtain] remained confined in
the Tower to the end of their Uves. Aedh and Domhnall were Uberated from
their captivity afterwards, i. e. in the year foUowing.
' ' The Earl of TirconalU (Rudhralglie, son of Aedh, son of Maghnus, son of
Aedh Dubh, son of Aedh Ruadh O'Domhnaillj died at Rome, on the 28th of July,
andwasinterredin theFranclscan monastery situate on the MU on wMch St. Peter
the Apostle was crucified, after lamenting his faults and crimes, after confession,
exemplary penance for his sins aud transgressions, and after receiving the body
and blood of Christ from the hands of the psalm-singing clergy of the Church of
Rome. Sorrowful [it is to consider] the short life and early echpse of Mm who
was there deceased, for he was a brave, protecting, valiant, puissant, and warlike
man , and had often been in the gap of danger along with his brother, Aedh Ruadh
(before he himself had assumed the lordship of Tirconaill), in defence of Ms reU
gion and his patrimony. He was a generous, bounteous, munificent, and truly
hospitable lord, to whom the patrimony of his ancestors did not seem anything
for Ms spending and feasting parties ; and a man who did not place Ms mind or

NOTES TO THE PRECEDING TRACT. 325
affections upon worldly wealth and jewels, but distributed and circulated them
among aU those who stood in need of them, whether the mighty or the feeble.
" Cath-bharr, son of Aedh, son of Maghnus [O'Domhnaill], a lord's son, who
had borne a greater name, renown, and celebrity, for entertainment of guests
and hospitality, than all who were in the Isle of Eireamon ; a second Cuanna-mac ¦
Cailchinm, and a second Guair-mac-Colmain for bounty and hospitality ; and
a man from (the presence of) whom no one had ever turned away with a refusal
of his request; died at Rome on the 17th of September, and was burled with his
brother, the Earl.
"Aedh O'Neill, theson of Aedh, sonof Feardorcha, Baron of Dungannon, and
the heir of the Earl O'NeUl, the only expectation of the Kineal-Eoghain to succeed
his father, if he had survived him, died, and was burled ih the same i)lace with
his mother's brothers, the Earl O'DomhnaiU and Cath-bharr."
" Cath-bharr Og, the son of Cath-bharr, son of Maghnus, Aedh Dubh O'Domh
naiU, was put to death at Dublin, by the English, on the 18th of July. It would
have been no disgrace to the tribe of Conall, son of NiaU, to elect this good man
as their chief, if he had been permitted to go home to take the leadership of
them, by reason of the nobleness of his blood and the greatness of his mind,
and for his vigor, magnammity, prudence, prowess, and puissance, in main
taining a battle against Ms opponents.
A.D. 1616. " O'NeiU (Aedh, sonof Feardorcha, sonof Conn Bacach, son of
Conn, son of Henry, son of Eoghan), who had been Baron from the death of his
father to the year when the celebrated Parliament was held in Dublin, 1584 [recte
1585], and whowas styled Earl of Tyrone at that Parliament, and who was after
wards styled O'NeiU, died at an advanced age, after having passed his life in pros
perity and happiness, lu valiant and Illustrious acMevements, in honor and noble
ness. The place at which he died was Rome, [and his death occurred] on the 20th
of July, after exemplary penance for his sins, and gaining the victory over the
world and the devil. Although he died far from Armagh, the burial-place of Ms
ancestors, it was a token that God was pleased with his Ufe that the Lord per
mitted Mm a no worse burial-place, namely, Rome, the head [city] of the Chris
tians. The person who here died was a powerful, mighty lord, [endowed] with
wisdom, subtlety, and profundity of mind and InteUect ; a warlike, valorous, pre
datory, enterprising lord, in defending his reUgion and his patrimony against his
enemies; a pious and charitable lord, mild and gentle with his friends, fierce and
stem towards his enemies, until he had brought them to submission and obedi
ence to his authority ; a lord who had not coveted to possess himself ofthe illegal
or excessive property of any other, except such as had been hereditary in Ms
ancestors from a remote period ; a lord with the authority and praiseworthy
characteristics of a prince, who had not suffered theft or robbery, abduction or
rape, spite or animosity, to prevail during his reign ; but had kept aU under
[the authority of] the law, as was meet for a prince."

Farewell to the son of Conchobhar !

From this death, as is evident.

[That] I am without the son of Conchobhar
You may believe from the palms of my hands.
A noble man was O' h-Eidirsceoil
A man from whom I received great honor
I am [now] in Beirre [Beare] with little honor.
After him, it is a general course of sorrow ;
The death of O' Eidirsceoil is true.
The general grief of the countries acknowledge it.
I recognised not this western land ;
My honor has been lost.
The death of my kindred man
Is not the loss of a game, but a lasting grief ;
It is a sign of Diarmaid's death
That his people have lowered their respect for me.

O' h-Eidirsceoil would not have listened
To any one dishonoring me ;
When the noble smooth-faced chieftain died
I am to-night unhonored ;
O' h-Eidirsceoil's hospitality has received
At length its proper acknowledgment.
The worthy minister of humanity
Was O' h-Eidirsceoil my hospitable friend.
After my kindred man
I no longer obtain my desires ;
Noble friends with us are few
With whom to stay in this western land.
To separate from that Diarmaid
Is a loss above every loss;
The people of Beirre, through constant grief for him.
Have not risen out after him.
[From] eyelashes for that Diarmaid
Crimson streams are the first that drop.

Certain that for him is shown
That state and church are in equal trouble ;
No blossom in his country is seen.
No day comes on without fierce rain.
The fruit is scarce on account of Conchobhar's son.
And scarce is the milk with milch cows.

No bee requires the watcher's care.
Through heat, in the land of West Munster,
The weather [is gloomy] on account of this one misfortune.
And every person is deeply grieving ;
Nor Moon nor Sun shows brilliant-disc
After him in the land of West Munster.

I am in grief and in bad repute
For the want of O' h-Eidirsceoil,
The keen, candid, placid man.
Who to humanity was a worthy minister.
To my heart it is an unwholesome visit, —
Ton the grave of O' Eidirsceoil.
Out of Beirre we started
Until his heirs grew up.
Sorrowful am I beyond [any of] the Munstermen
After the warlike hero.
[But now] the children of a friend vve have seen
[And] wilh his heirs we shall remain.
I shall say unto our Diarmaid,
To the growth of thy fame thou didsl yield
To be saved thou mayest well hope.
On the day of the dangerous judgment :
Let it be believed that since thou departedst
Hospitality is without a shepherd.
Not to have died is to us a reproach ;
If I am well and thou livest not.
My being well is [to me] a misery.
Whilst thy dealh is boiling [up] my grief;
It is a submersion in an abysm lo us
To live, and thou not living.
I have gone into listlessness.
Our pride was but a dream.
Mighty is every one over us.
My debility is not attended to.
The cause of our heavy sadness
Is that thy heir recognises us not.

I used to be about my Diarmaid with my distresses
Till the lime for asking [would I be] moaning
Thou wert the guarantee of my protection.
It was thee we selected [as our patron]
To pray for thee at masses.
The schools are around their protector.
The love of God thou hast of a certainty.
It was not for nought thou obtainedst it;
It is thou that causedst my heavy sadness;
Thou were the guarantee for my relief.
Thou hast given us a knowledge of affliction
Thy fame lives ; thou hast thyself departed.
Thou wert my security.
Thou wert my lord.
None of them in this land
Have I seen like unto thee.
Greatly has thy deatl? affected me.
No one is mighty without a lord.
Thou have brought distress upon all.
The loss of thee presses on us.
To depart wilh thee would behove us;
Methinks it is a cause of debility ;
To confer with thee in visions
Is a severe trial lo us.
I am on account of Diarmaid a banished man.
In severe bondage of late.
Without a security to redeem me.
Grief for him first confusing me;
Though we have sustained many losses
The last afflclion is the greatest.

Thai death of O'h-Eidirsceoil
To my tears is a dyer ;
His fame he ever continued to augment.
From God he will receive pure honor ;
The death of O'h-Eidirsceoil has caused
The tear lo be the dyer of the eye.
The fullest misfortune I have met
Is the dealh of my kind patron;
The chivalrous heroic scion,
To me attending earnestly
To remember Diarmaid's kindness !
To me that kindness is devoutly dear.
The death of a friend since we heard of,
[It is] a disease not usually relieved ;
Near his grave-stone with torches
All assemble in multitudes ;
I am alone in West Munster
At fairs and in drinking houses.
For us to asperse him would be dishonest,
Good was Diarmaid's humanity ;
For spending I have not heard
Of one like him in this western land ;
His worldly wealth is not near
To his son after Diarmaid.

At first I am not lively hearted
At putting my back to the land of West Munster;
Diarmaid gave wilh generous eagerness
Without our asking what we sought ;
God has taken vengeance
Now upon the land of West Munster.

That he may be thine on the day of exaltation,
(The man who is pain to my heart !)
Better, O Jesus ! that he has known thee ;
The heir of Ith is of thy flock ;
O Christ, it is cause of moan to us.
The royal prey* thou hast taken !
Heavier than any oppressive disease is
Grief for him penetrating me ;
The death of one man has humbled me,
I cannot be redeemed.
Now, O God, be it avenged,
My own desires" if I have heretofore obtained.
The cross of Christ, tho powerful cross !
May it defend me now ; be it not concealed ;
May His holy cross strengthen me ;

The angle of the habitations of noble hosts.
The territory of bright lakes of war ships.
Heavy is the misfortune which has overtaken them.
A I the time of her chiefs coming in [to possession]
A heavy misfortune occurred to Tir-Luigheach,
Her distress overtook her.
The weight of affliction became manifest,
When the territory heard her evil news.
The expiration of O'h-Eidirsceoil's life.
It was cause of malady in the speckled soft plain.
The prosperity of the land of Teamhair il obstructed.
The pure soil had been fruitful
From the eye that has just been clouded ;
Softly bending [with nuts] in the land of the ancients
Might the fair smooth hazel be seen.
Alas ! for the tribe who look upon
The eye which now is motionless ;
Which lately was so rapid
Viewing the extremity of his land.
Early in seeking the heavy weapons
Was the hand which has lost its motion ;
A fact that has suppressed the cheerfulness of the hosts
Is the absence from thai hand of its activity.

The powerful tongue, which I used to hear.
Is now bereft of its eloquence.
No feeble word it ever uttered.
It was forcible in time of difficulties.
The ear which is no longer watching
The beautiful borders of Corca-Laidhe,
The smooth lands of ancient ships.
Of oppression on them it would not hear.
The declension of his mental powers
Has ruined that land of Finghin,
That smooth plain of hospitable mansions ;
Their powers of thought are now overclouded.
The wai-ning of the death of his noble hand
Shall lower the prosperity of the land,
1 1 has poured out lamentations from ils heart
For the shortening of the knight's^ life.
Heavy the loss to Lughaidh's land
Is the extinction of the mind of Conchobhar's son ;
His heir is far from the land.
No greater cause of grief could we have.
Twenty years and more besides
His back is turned lo his native territory ;
The son of Finghin standing the brunt Of spears
Without having partaken ofthe wine-feasls of Eire.

Shoidd he but reach the extremity of Munster
It is certain that Conchobhar would press
The battle of armed steeds for the raising of prey.
In the broad rough third of Lughaidh.
To plunder his chartered land.
To contend for the territory of his sons ;
In the expedition which he would make this day.
And which would be a deed difficult to be performed.
On the stormy surface of the furious ocean
The vigilant son of Finghin has met
Hotter trouble in Turkey
In the fight of the wonderfully armed hosts.
Three ships had this fair-cheeked chieftain.
Fifty ships had the opposing warriors.
Behold the horseman of the plain of Cians
Not one of those returned thanks.
In Turkey of the branching tribes
The beautiful ship of the son of Eibhilin
[Had] the track of its breast-plank in the east
Through the middle of the fleet.
The entire fleet of the harbour
The heart of Conchobhar did not meditate
That his speckled ship should shun them ;
[Though it was] an unequal fight lo the stranger.
The large ship he directly steered
Against the fierce hateful horde ;
The bravery of his valiant heroes in the ships
Was proved by them on that occasion.

And a battle disproportioned to his few noble men
Was by him gained on that day.
He sustained at another time
By the exertions of his valor
Against the attacks of the fair green land
The plain of the great festive Flanders.

The heir of Ua h-Eidirsgeoil was used to send
Through Alinaine in every direction
And shrieks of death through the countries around him.
It pleases us that, in the books of the schools.
It is not any of the kingdom of the Saxons,
Who obtained the title as a title of fame.
Who spread a name by these achievements.
Alas for the country wanting the aid
Ofthe victorious red hand of Conchobhar;
Alas for the native land that is deprived
Of the man of these warlike achievements.
The chief of the clustering locks disliked not
To scour the coasts of foreign lands.
Although on his account we have been plundered.
Yet still shall he not make a descent upon Eire.
The son abroad from his people.

A cause of deadly lamentation to that western land
Which sheltered the great blood of Maicniadh.

Many a beautiful, shamrockrflowering plain.
Many a noble, bright-shining court,
[Are lost] from the Race of Ith and in the hands of knights
So that it would be a sufficient cause of fury to hear them
[numbered.]
Not to rise up in warlike alliance, ,
After all the evils which they have sustained.
The tribe of the land of round-nutted woods;
'Tis wonderful how long their forbearance.
It is hard if victory they gain not, ,
For it is not excessive ambition, it is not injustice,
That drove this noble tribe of .sharp spears
To take to steps of wars.
['Twas] their own danger, the fear for their lands.
That contributed, though long their forbearance,
([And] peace not having been spoken of for some lime)
To kindle the fire of the heroes.
Well it becomes the blood of Ith
To fight battles, to kindle wars,
Por the prize of the land of the nobles
They were bound to relieve it.
The Race of Ith, who suflfer injury,
Tis' they who have the best right to make battle
For the smooth, well-placed, far-stretching land
Of all the Gaeidhil ofthe land of Felim (Ireland).

With a select party of heroes, of evil,
To seek for the country which he saw.

[Until] he reached, and it was a perilous adventure.
The briny harbours of the land of Eire.

He proceeded upon his coming to laiid
Wilh a band of heroes, not great in number.
Firm was their advance as if to give battle
Unto the sons of Ceai-mad.

About the division of Eire of the sweet grass.
These sons of Cearmad had come
To fierce words on either side
On Ith's arrival at Aileach.
The kings bade him welcome.
They disclose the cause of their idispute.
Wisdom had not governed their distribution.
Until Ilh made peace between them.
He bids them farewell after this.
He takes from them their [good] words.
From the north, what greater pity.
They [then} meditated to pursue him.
They considered after disclosing his adventure.
That his coming to the island was dangerous to them ;
Their children were disgraced by their conspiracy ;
Towards Ith they acted treacherously.
On Magh Ilha' of the soft pasture
He is slain by the sons of Cearmad,''
Though they exulted having slain him in the conflict,
It repented them [soon] that they pursued him.
The people of the son of Bile carry
By force from the stranger tribes,
(An event from which evil to them all arose,)
The body of the hero to Spain.

After killing the sons of Cearmad
The fury of the men was not fully abated
Until they had avenged the death of Ith.
In eiric for him the land remained.
With them firom the Tuatha-De-Danann,
From thence the race of Ith the fair scion
Are the chiefs of a cantred of a province.
Therefore they had the best right
(Until their power was opposed)
On account of the fair-acred land of the heroes
To the great evil of [all] Eire.
The eirie of Ilh on the land of old Ir,
Let not the son of Eibhilin forgive ;
From every man it is due to thee
To obtain thy share of the eiric.
If it be that you seek not
This eiric from the sons of Milidh,
If il be compensation to thee for the person slain.
Let it not go wilh the foreigners.
O descendant of Ith, son of Bile !™
As an eirie from this stranger tribe.
Take you, one and all.
Their share of the woody lands of Eire.
Many an eiric besides this.

Without denial from the rough hirelings of the English ;
It is a pity to brook the grievance.

I. — 4. Donnchadh OTuathail sang this.
Cause of starting is the death of two,
A news this which is pain to my heart.
Bitter is the death of each of them.
Two chieftains for whom my grief has grown.
The son togediet with the father
To have departed from us by misfortune !
They have been for some time cause of grief to us.
The elder and the sage youth.
Though grievous to me the death of the son.
Still greater is our grief through the death of the faiher ;
Affliction for them has for some time deranged us ;
Each of the two that I mention.
No wonder that I am in a feeble state
On account of our two real friends ;
The killing of my patron, or of two [of them].
Is cause of grief to the world.
They sailed with a fleet across the sea
The two chiefs of the island of the Gaeidhil ;
They passed voluntarily over the brine ;
From that time they retumed not to us.
A plain fact was the cause of the expedition.
By which my companions were lost.
The cause which moved their brave ships was
To relieve the land of Europe.
They succeeded in consequence of their noble deeds.
In defending the character of Christendom ;
Noble heroes whose fate distresses me ;
By supreme dignity, by honor.

The death of the Griffin, who was no tame griffin.
Well do the heroes of Flanders lament.
And his being each day, — a thing which lessened us, —

The land of the Turk exults
That they have quiet on Cornell's death ;
He lies till morning asleep
Without suspicion, without awaking.
The death of young Cornell^ and his father.
It is the anger of God which permitted it.
Hard to Eire is the loss
[And] perpetual disaster the fall.
The fall of the chieftain of the plain of Lughaidh
Is cause of distress to many men ;
Long shall be a cause of grief unto me
The death of the heroes in whom we put our faith.
What I hear by report about them
Is sufficient as a worldly sermon.
No terror previously had touched us;
What I hear [now] is a piercing of the heart.
There is not among the vigorous horsemen
(Their high spirit has been saddened)
A man who is not lamenting in grief for Ihem,
Nor a woman joyous in West Munster.

The brightness of the clouds of heaven has darkened.
The fiery lightning spreads.
No tree is seen bending [with fruit] over the stream
Because my two [heroes] have fallen abroad.
"The shores, the waves are.
The moon and the stars are.
In sorrow for the death of the heroes.
And the sound of cataracts is becoming louder.
The earth and the fire exhibit,
Tiie angelic birds exhibit.
With violence, with heat of grief.
Debility for the man of my first affection.
By them are caused the mute creatures
To bewail loudly and clamorously.
No keener wail is heard
Than the moaning of the senseless creatures.*
I shall not particularize a land or a people,
[For] there is not a corner of Christendom
In consequence of the death of the heroes
That is not filled wilh the fate of the Conchobhars.
Grief has kindled from land to land
After the heroes whom I lament
In the noblest of all Europe.
It is a cause of debility to warriors.

Many a lady-asSembly is troubled,
Many a school is anguished wilh grief

Munster, in the diocese of Eoss. Inls-Arcain is in O'h-EidirsceoU's Country —
Annals ofthe Four Masters.
A.D. 1472. O'h-EidirsceoU Mor (Einghin, son of Maccon, son of Maccon son
of Finghin, son of Donnchadh God) died in his own house after having performed
the pUgrimage of St. James ; and his son, Tadhg, died penitently one month after
the death of his father, after having returned from the same pUgrimage. — Annals
of the Four Masters.
A.D. 1508. O'h-Eidirsceoil, (Conchobhar, son of Finghin son of Maccon)
died. He was a brave and protecting man, the friend of the reUgious orders,
and the learned, and his son Finghin was instaUed in his place, after being
liberated, for he had been imprisoned in Cork for more than a year — Annals of
the Four Masters.
Among the " Veteres Iberni qui pro fide Catholiea pugnauerunt," P. O'Sul
levan Beare mentions " O'Driscol Cothliae princeps" and " CorneUus O'Driscolls
Magni filius."— .ffts*. Cathol. Iber. tom III. Ub. I. c. 1.
A.D. 1585. O'h-Eidirsceoil Mor (Finghin, son of Conchobhar, sonof Finghin
son of Maccon,) went to Dublin to attend a ParUament there assembled that
year. This Sir Finghin, Finin, or Florence O'Driscoll, " tooke his landes by Letters
Patients from Queen EUzabeth, and thereby extinguished the Irish rite. The
former custome was that the eldest of the famUie succeeded, unto whome Mac
Cartie Eeagh did give a rod, and then he was reputed and obeyed aslOrd ofthe

The island of Cape Cleare also belonged to them ; the castle of which place,
together with all their other castles, were by Sir Fineene O'Driscoll, deUvered
up to the Spaniards anno 1601 ; but were taken by the EngUsh two years
{recte in a few weeks] after  Smith's Cork book, I. ch. 1 .
P. O'SuUevan Beare gives the following account of the conduct of the O'Dris
colls at this period, in his I^story of the Irish CathoUcs : —

"Untill this time [ofthe arrival of O'Donnell to join the Spaniards] none of
the ProvinclaUs of Mounster, that had been either protected, or pardoned, re
lapsed ; but now upon the comming of these seconds to Castlehauen, Sir Flnnin
O'drischall, and all the O'drlschalls, Sir Owen Mac Cartie's sonnes, and almost
aU the Carties in Carbrie, DonneU O'sulevan Beare, O'sulevan Mores eldest son,
Donnell Mac Cartie, the Earle of Clancares base sonne, with all the Carties of
Desmond, John O'Connor Kerry, the Knight of Kerry, all the protected and
pardoned men in Kerry and Desmond, and aU else from Kinsale and Limericke
westwards, joy ned with O'donnell and the Spaluards ; whereat little wonder is to
be made, considering what power Eeligion and Gold hath in the hearts of men ;
both which the Spaniards brought with them into Ireland. The supplies of Span
iards were but seuen hundred, but more were promised to follow ; which mooved
the wavering Irish td conceive that now the time was come for their deliverance
from the EngUsh Government ; whereupon they cast themselves into the Span-
yards' armes, and for testimonie oftheir truths Donogh O'drlschaU delivered unto
them his castle at Castlehaven, which commanded the harbour. Sir Finnin

388 APPENDIX,
O'drischall (who never in the course of his whole life had been tainted with the
least spot of disloyaltie) rendred unto them Ills castle of Donneshed at Balti
more, and his castle at Donnelong, in the Hand of Inisherkan, betweene which
.castles all entrance into that haven was debarred; and DonneU O'SuUevan
surrendered unto them his strong castle of Dunboy, which absolutely commaunds
Beare Haven ; these three harbours, beeing without aU exception the best in the
west of Mounster : For the guard of those places Don John assigned, that one
hundred of the late suppUes should remaine at Castle-haven, with a Magazine
of victualls and Munition, and eight peeces of Ordnance ; unto Donneshed and
Donnelong hee sent one hundred foot, fiftie for each ofthe castles, and two peeces
of ArtlUerie ; and unto Dunboy hee also sent one hundred foot arid ten great
peeces : And to confirme these revolters by UberaUty unto his Master the King
of Spain hee bestowed upou Donnell O'Sulevan two hundred foote in the King's
pay, unto Donoghe Moyle Mac Cartie, sonne to Sir Owen Mac Cartie Eeaghe
one hundred, upon Finin Mac Cartie, his brother one hundred and twentie, and
upon Phelim Mac Cartie one hundred, and to O'donevan one hundred; in aU
sixe hundred and twentie in the Bangs entertainment ; and upon others he be
stowed certaine summes of money." &o. &c.
Again the narrative is continued in c. 19.
" This night late Sir Eichard Levlson returned into the harbour of Kinsale,
and the next day came to the Lord Deputy, unto whom hee imparted that the
sixih day, with the Warresplt, the Defiance, the Swiftsure, the MarUn, one
Merchant and a carvlU, he arrived at Castle -haven about ten of the clock in the
fornoone, before four o'clock the same day, one ship ofthe Enemy was suncke.
the Spanish Admlrall with nine foote water in hold drove to the shore upon the
rooks, the ViceaiJlmiraU with two others drove likewise aground, most of the
Spaniards quitting their ships ; the seventh of December the wind being ex-
treamely at south-east, hee rode stlU at Castle-haven, the night foUowing, with
wind at west-south-west, hee warped out with the ships, the eigth at night he
returned as aforesaid.
" Since wee are informed by the Lord Coursie that they are aU sunck but one
ship, and great harme done both to their provisions and men.
'- The Spaniards after their comeing to Castle-haven, understanding the
Queene's fleet was at Kinsale, expecting their comming tliither, to make them
selves as strong as they could, landed five peeces of Ordn.ince which they planted
close by the water side for the secm-ing the harbour ; but Sir Eichard Levlson
did BO ply the shipping, that he suncke and drove ashore as is related, and hav
ing effected as much as might be done by sea, was wlUing to have left the har
bour and returne to Kinsale ; but the wind being conti-.ary, hee was not able to
get forth, but wiis forced to ride foure and twentie houres within the play of those
five peeces of Ordnance, and received in that time above three hundred shot, '
through hulke mast and tackle, being by no industry able to avoid it, untUlsome
calmer weather came where by the helpe of some warpes layed forth by their boats,
not without great danger and some loss (575 !) he came to set saU and returned

APPENDIX. 389
to Kinsale. All the shot were made particularly at bis ship, except some few
at a Pinnace ofthe Queenes, wherein Captaine Flemmlng was commander."
Shortly afterwards the Irish Catholics were defeated at Kinsale.
The next notice of an O'Driscoll is found in O'SuUevan Beare's History ofthe
Irish Catholics, tom 111, lib. VII. cap. 1.

"Cum Cerda MaculUamus in Hispanlam se confert; ubi brevi moritur.

It appears from a letter of the Lord Deputy and Council written on the 20th
of March 160^ to the Lords in England that Sir Finnin O'DriscoU, the O'Don
ovan, and the two sons of Sir Owen Mac Carthy had joined the EngUsh.
" As for Sir Finnin O'drischall, O'donnevan and the two sonnes of Sir Owen
Mac Cartie, they and their foUowers, since their coming in, are gro-wne very
odious to the Eebels of those parts, and are so well divided in factions among
themselves, as they are faUen to preying and killing one another, which we con
ceive will much availe to the quieting of these parts." — Pacata Hib. b. 2, c. xxx.
Again it appears from the foUowing passage in the Instructions given to the
Earl of Thomond on the 9th of March, 1601-2, that O'DriscoU was received
into favor by the English Government.
" The service you are to perform is, to doe aU your endeavours to burne the
rebels' corne in Carbery, Beare, and Bantry, take their cowes, and to use all
hostile prosecution upon the persons of the people, as in such cases of rebelUon
is accustomed." Those that are in subjection, or lately protected (as OdrischaU, Odonevan,
and Sir Owen Mac Cartie's sonnes,) to afford them all kind and mild usage."
Pacata Hibernia, book 3, ch. II.
Dr. Smith writes, on what authority the Editor knows not, that "in order
to ingratiate himself with Queen EUzabeth, a fleet of English ships of war were
suppUed, for a considerable time with fresh provisions, by tills Sir Fineene
O'DriscoU, who also nobly entertained all the Captains, and other oflicers in
his castles." That, " the Queen being Informed of it, pardoned liis joining the
Spaniards, and sent for him to court." But, that "before he arrived the Queen
died." That " during his absence, great part of his possessions were intruded
into by Sir Walter Coppinger, which caused this ancient family to faU to decay."
Book i, ch. 1.
The truth Is, however, that Sir Fmghin let Baltimore and the whole of Col
lymore territory to a certain Thomas Crooke for 21 years, for a fine of £2000,
Sterling, and that he thus, probably, laid the foundation of a forfeiture. See
Smith's Cork, Book 2, ch. IV. His son CorneUus, by EUen, daughter of Sir Owen
Mac Cartliy Eeagh, was a captain in the archduke's couutry. His grandson,
another Cornelius, an Ensign in the Spanish navy, was killed in an engagement

of the Spanish fleet with the Turks in the Mediterranean, of which P. O'Sullevan
Beare gives the following account in his letter to Diarmaid O'Sullevan Beare,
written in April, 1619, and pubUshed in the flrst Edition of his History of the
Irish Catholics, but by some oversight omitted in the second Edition.

The foUowing persons of the name of O'DriscoU are mentioned in the family
documents of the O'Donovan at Montpellier in the County of Cork, who writes
(December Sth, 1850) I have the "fee of three ploughlands in Creagh and
Tullagh parishes, which were once part of the O'DriscoU territory, in Carbery,
and appear, by the many deeds which I have, dating from 1629 to 1677, to have
passed from them to my ancestor, Teige, his executor and brother, Morogh,
aud Telge's surviving son, Morogh. The names of the lands are Lick, Bun-
lick, Gortshanecrone, Knockvallytaggart, Ardagh, two ploughlands, and BaUi-
nard, the tlurd. The first seem to have belonged to one famUy, and I select at
foot such names from the deeds as occur, and do the Uke by the second. You
have every O'Driscoll name in them that occurs in my famUy documents.

396 APPENDIX.
That this family continued to be highly respectable and important, in Ireland,
not only after the CromweUian Usurpation, but till the Eevolutlon, is e-vident
from various records and historical authorities. It appears from King Charles
II.'s letter in favor of Col. Daniel O'Donovan that there was a Col. O'DriscoU
in the royal service in CromweU's time. This letter recites : " That DanieU
O'Donovane of Castle O'Donovane in the County of Corke, in our kingdome of
Ireland, submitted unto the peace concluded in our said kingdome in the year
One Thousand Six Hundred and Forty-eight, and constantly adhered thereunto
contributing his best endeavours to advance it, and suppress aU oppositions that
might be thereunto given, signaUy testifying upon all occasions his loyalty and
fidelity to our service ; and that he raised at his own cost and charge by Com
mission from the said Duke of Ormond then our Lieutenant of Ireland, two foote
Companies, whereof one was commanded, as Captaine, by Morrogh O'Donovane,
his brother in the regiment of Colonel Hennessy, under th^ copmand of our
said Lieutenant of Ireland, at < the seidge of Dublin, where the said Captaine
Morogh O'Donovane was killed in our service. And that Eichard O'Donovane
retired himself and company into forreigne partes, and there was also kUled in
our service, when hee had flrst, as Captaine of the other foote Companie in Co-
lonell O'DriscoU's Regiment, contributed his best endeavours for the furtherance
of our service, till the late ursurped power became prevalent in our said king-
dome of Ireland ; and that DanieU O'Donovane persevering stUl constant in his
loyalty to us, the said usurped power seized upon aU his Estate, burning, kill
ing, and destroying all that came in their way, and blew up with powder two of
his the said Darnell's Castles."
There is a well preserved copy of this letter in the possession of Edward
PoweU Esq. of Bawnlahan, in the county of Cork, and another in the Chief Ee-
membrancer's Office, DubUn (Adventurers' Certlflcates EoU xviU.)
Soon after the levying of Col. Daniel O'Donovan's Eegiment of infantry for
the war of the Eevolution was commenced, CorneUus O'Driscoll is mentioned as
its Intended Lieutenant Colonel. In Col. O'Donovan's papers connected with
the above regiment there is a Capt. DrlscoU mentioned more than once.
On the 2nd. of October, 1690, the Lord Marlborough came to Kinsale with the
army; on the Srd, Major General Tettau and Colonel Fitzpatrick, with about
800 men, got over in boats unperceived near Elngroan Castle, marched down to
wards the old fort (called Castle-nl-Park) which they boldly assaulted, and took
by storm, whereupon the enemy retired into the Castle, but at the same time 3
barrells of their powder took flre at the gate and blew it up, with about 40
soldiers. At length, the Governor Colonel DriscoU and 200 of the garrison be
ing killed, the rest surrendered upon quarter." Cox's Narration quoted by
Smith in his Natural and Civil History of Cork, book 3. c. VII.
November 23i-d, 1690, an attack was made by a Jacobite pai-ty of 500 men
under the young Colonel O'Driscoll on Castletown House, near Castlehaven,
the mansion house of Colonel Townshend, which they attempted to burn; but

APPENDIX. 397
they missed of their aim, and were so well received by Townshend and his gar
rison, that twelve of them dropt at the first voUey, and upon a second Col.
O'DriscoU, and Captain Teige Donovan, Captain Cronin, and about 30 others
were slain, and so many more wounded that they were forced to retire." Ibid.
In French accounts of the Irish Brigades in the possession of John Cornelius
O'Callaghan, Esq. Dublin, the Sieur CorneiUe or CorneUus O'DrlseoU is
spoken of as a distinguished officer in Spain in 1707 and 1708, or during the
great war of the Succession, when he was Lieutenant Colonel to the Eegiment
of Dragoons of the famous Count Daniel O'Mahoni. In a hostile sally from
Alcoy, January 2nd 1708, it is said that ' ' le Sieur CorneUle Odriscol, Lieutenant
Colonel du Eegiment de O'Mahoni, fat blesse au pied dangereusement."
The foUowing brief notice of the present condition of the O'Driscoll tribe is
abstracted from a paper on the subject written by Eickard Donovan Esq. Clerk
of the Crown for the County of Cork.
"The family of O'DriscoU having faUen into decay and lost every portion
of their former possessions, it is not easy now to ascertain satisfactorUy who is
the head of that Clan. Most of this ancient sept may now be discovered in
bitter contests with the overseers of the work-houses of Skibbereen and Skull,
who are more keenly anxious as to the minimum rate of food to keep alive the
animal man, than the oldest and most calculating political economist of the day.
From these paupers who most submissively exclaim that their present abject con
dition is wholly to be attributed to the will of God, no information can be obtained,
except a vague tradition about Sir Fineen O'Driscoll having entertained the offi
cers of Queen Elizabeth's fleet at his Castle at Baltimore. However, the head of
the race, I believe, lately existed in the person of Mr. Michael O'DriscoU of Balti
more, who, born only to the repute of being an Irish chief, connected himself in
marriage with the daughter of a namesake [of Mr. Timothy O'DriscoU and
sister of the late Alexander ODriscoU esq. J.P.] by whom he got some money,
by means of which he advanced himself in the world, and even became a justice
of the peace, but Lord Manners swept him out of that distinction with some half
dozen other Eoman CathoUcs in the county of Cork, who had stolen into that
dignity owing to some good-natured oversight in the preceding chanceUor.
',' This gentleman died about twenty years ago, leaving no male descendant.
He had three daughters, of whom two died unmarried, and one, Elizji, was mar
ried to James O'Brien, esq, a coroner of the County of Cork, who died leaving one
sou Fitzjames O'Brien, who is now twenty-one years of age, and living at
CastleconneU, in the county of Limerick. This Mr. Michael O'DriscoU, or ' the
O'DriscoU,' as he was called, had a brother, who early in life having to seek
his fortune in the EngUsh Colonies, was satisfied to leave the hereditary honors
to, his brother, and styled himself ' WUliam DriscoU,' thinking, no doubt, that
his fortune would not be much improved by. taking the O. On the death of
his brother however he styled himself the O'DriscoU. He is stiU Uving [in
the 84th year of his age] and has one son WilUam Henry O'DriscoU. This

398 APPENDIX.
gentleman is now the head of the ancient family ofthe O'DriscoUs, and though
unconnected with the Clan, he adheres to the reUgion, and feelings of his ances
tors." — R. Donovan.
He claims descent from Donogh O'DriscoU who married Mary, daughter arid
heir at law of Gerald, 19th Baron of Kinsale, who died about the year 1642;
but his pedigree has not been yet satisfactorily proved by the evidence of au
thentic documents. The following is furnished by Miss Mary Jane Freke of
Baltimore Castle, whose mother is an O'Driscoll, and WilUam Henry O'DriscoU
of Stoke near Plymouth, the only son of the O'Driscoll.
1. Florence O'Driscoll of Ballyisland, (sonof CoU. CorneUus, son of Do
nogh, "chief of his name.) He was born about the year 1677, and married in
1706 the daughter of O'Donovan, by whom he had two sons, I. Denis, who suc
ceeded him as head of the sept, and 2. WiUiam O'Driscoll, from whom the late
Daniel Mac Carthy of Gortnascreena, was descended in the female Une. He
married, secondly, a Miss Fitzgerald, by whom he had also two sons, 1. Michael,
who married Miss Honora Morris, daughter of Mr. Samuel Morris of Skib
bereen, surveyor of Excise, by Sarah, eldest daughter of Colonel Daniel
O'Donovan of Bawnlahan, M.P. but who died without issue ; and 2. CorneUus
O'Driscoll, of Florence Court and Eiverview, surnamed " the Admiral," on ac
count of his attachment to naval sports, who left one daughter, the -wife of the
late Dr. Power of Clonakilty, uncle to the present Dr. Power, M.P. for the
County of Cork.
2. Denis O'Driscoll of Creagh Court. He was born in the year 1707, and
married three vvlves but had issue by the second only, namely, Martha O'Hea,
daughterof O'Hea of Kllkern, by Mary O'Grady, daughter of the O'Grady of
KilbaUyowen in the County of Limerick. His children were , I. Matthias who
was born in 1754 : he settled in America, where he married, and had issue one
son Denis, who was shot in a duel, and three daughters who are stUl Uving ;
II. Michael O'Driscoll of Baltimore, born in 1764, commonly caUed " the
O'Driscoll," who married Miss Helena O'Driscoll of Lakeland, daughter of
Timothy O'DriscoU, Esq. J.P. and sister of Alexander O'DriscoU, Esq. J.P.
and had issue Denis O'JDrlscoll, who died without issue, aud three daughters,
Helena, Eliza, and Jane, who are all dead without issue, except EUza who
married, 1. James O'Brien, Esq. Coroner of the County of Cork, by whom
she had one son Michael Fitzjames O'Brien, now living ; and 2ndly, De Courcy
O'Grady, Esq. of CastleconneU, in the County of Limerick. III. WilUam
O'DriscoU, now the O'DriscoU, of wliom presently, and IV. CorneUus O'Dris
coU, who settled in America, and became an officer in the United States' Navy,
in which service he died, leaving one legitimate sou, WilUam CorneUus O'Dris
coll, now living at Charleston, andlmvlng legitlmiite issue male, who will pro
bably become the futm-e representatives of the family. Denis O'Driscoll had a
daughter, Lucy, who married John O'Grady, Esq., of Castlefarm, in the County
of Limerick.

APPENDIX. 399
He died in 1792, aged 85 years.
3. WiLLrAM O'Driscoll, now The O'Driscoll. He was born on the 6th
of June, 1766 ; and he married, in August, 1802, Mary Eaby, of Kingsland,
in the county of Middlesex, by whom he had issue, William Henry O'DriscoU,
of whom presently, and one daughter, Mary, who was born on the 6th of Au
gust, 1805, and died on the 9th of December, 1833.
This gentleman, during the lifetime of his brother Michael, wrote his name
WUUam DriscoU, but after his death assumed the O', and began to caU himself
the O'DriscoU. He entered the British navy in 1782, in which he served for
some time under his relative, the Honorable Captain de Courcy, who had
command of the Wizard sloop. He afterwards commanded the Devonshire,
20 guns, but left the service, and next commanded an Indiaman, in whidi
service his son, William Henry, was actively employed for several years.
This O'DriscoU (WiUiam, son of Denis, sonof Florence), who is now living,
was in his youthful days a most magnificent specimen of the old Irish chieftain
race, having been " mighty of Umb and strong of sinews, very tall and broad
in proportion ; of noble countenance, and in pitch of body likea giant.''
4. William Henrv O'Driscoll, Esq., of Stoke, near Plymouth. He was
born on thc 16th of June, 1803, and, though a fine specimen of the old Irish chief
tain race, he is still unmarried. The senior~line ofthe O'Driscolls is, therefore,
Ukely to become extinct in the British Islands, and the genealogist of the next
century wiU probably have to look for it in the United States of America :
though, according to a wild tradition in the country, there are fishermen on Cape
Clear and on other islands off the Coast of Carbery, who are lineally descended
from the youngest son of Sir Fingliin, or Florence, of 1602. The Eev. James
O'DriscoU, P.P. of Kilmichael in the County of Cork, is said to be the great-
grandson of Denis O'Driscoll of Dunbeacon Castle, who is remembered by
tradition for his skill lu performing on the Irish harp, who was the son of Flo
rence O'DriscoU, caUed the Captain Cam, who was kiUed at the siege of Dun
boy in 1602. Sed cum de his nihil certi scio, nihil etiam assertive determine.
CorneUus O'Driscoll, the father of Florence O'DriscoU, No. 1 supra, had a
son Alexander, who married Mary O'SulUvan, daughter of Mac Fineen Duff,
by Mary Mac Gillicuddy, ofthe Eeeks, from whom descended the Mount Muslck
branch ofthe O'Driscolls, and (according to Miss Freke of Baltimore Castle)
the late Alexander O'DriscoU, whose sister, Mrs. Freke, of Baltimore Castle, is
stiU living.
" Johu O'DriscoU, late Judge of the Island of Dominica was a native of the
city of Cork. He inherited a small property acquired by the industry of his
parents who kept a shop in Cork, and educated him weU. He published iu 1823
" Views in Ireland," in two volumes, and in 1827 a History of Ireland in two
volumes, works of considerable reputation. He died in June, 1828, whilst in his
judicial appointment which he obtained through the patronage of the Marquis
of Landsdowne. Mr. Windele, of Cork, has a large coUection of his papers.

400 APPENDIX.
"The late Alexander O'DriscoU, Esq., J.P.,of Norton Cottage, Skibbereen,
was the son of Timothy Driscoll, commonly caUed Tim the Guager, who was in
appearance far beyond the ordinary run of men, being remarkably handsome, tall,
and athletic, appearing like the son of a giant. This Timothy was, no doubt, of
ancient respectable descent; but nothing seems to have been known in the
country of his pedigree. He acquired considerable property as a middleman,
and was a magistrate of no ordinary capacity ; he was a jovial companion,
had a good head, and was a kind of sense-carrier to several of his aristocratic
neighbours, who had no time for anything but drinking and himting. His son,
Alexander, succeeded to a considerable property in land and tithes. This Alex
ander (whatever his Uneage may have been and his hearing, his virtues and vices
all denote that he was of no common ancestry), may be considered as the last
celebrated man of the O'DriscoUs in the O'DriscoU territory. He was a remark
ably fine looking man ; he looked, in fact, like a prince ; hunted weU ; rode and
shot weU ; drank well : his hospitaUty was boundless to aU. Being in poUtics
a high Conservative, his popularity lay with the aristocracy, who repaid him
for his hospitality by giving him all those posts of honor which gentry sigh for,
and which cost nothing. He was of overbearing disposition ; despised aU
popular institutions ; was severe to the peasantry, and no favorite with the
Eoman CathoUc clergy, although a Eoman CathoUc himself. His end was most
melancholy. In the summer assizes of 1849 he served on the county grand
jury, although his embarrassments were notorious ; and, instead of proceeding
homewards after the duties of a grand juror were over, he remained in the city
of Cork, and was arrested by a wine merchant. He appUed for his discharge
on the score of being on duty as a grand juror ; but the application was refused,
and he was confined in the city gaol. The cholera then prevailing very severely,
he was seized with it, and died — a sad but not unusual reverse of fortune to
befal a man who certainly gave more dinners to persons whom he did not care
about than any man in her Majesty's empire. He left no issue, and his pro
perty may be said to have perished with the potatoes. A remnant of his pro
perty is in the ' Encumbered Estates' Court' for sale."  R. Donovan.
"Mr. Alexander O'DriscoU, of Crookhaven, is said to represent a respect
able branch of this family. The heads of other respectable branches were the
late Dr. O'DriscoU, of Skibbereen, whose son and nephew are stiU living. The
late Alexander O'Driscoll, J.P. left no Issue ; but his sister, Mrs. Freke, of
Baltimore Castle, is still Uving." — J. Mac Carthy Downing.
WUUam Justin O'Driscoll, Esq. 28, Lower FitzwlUl.am-st. Dublin, is of au
ancient and respectable branch of this sept, but the Editor has not been able to
learn anything of his pedigree.

THE END.

THE CELTIC SOCIETY,
OB
lEISH HISTOEICAL AND LITERAEY ASSOCIATION.
(Prom the original Prospectus, 1847.)

" The Materials for Irish History, although rich and abundant, have
hitherto been only to a small extent available to the student. The
few accessible authorities have been so often used, and the works
compiled from them are so incomplete, that the expectation of any
History worthy of thg Country has been generally deferred, under
the conviction that vast additions must be made to our stock of
available materials before any adequate work of that kind can be
produced. These materials consist of Manuscripts in the Irishj I'rench, Latin,
ItahaUj and English languages, — of the architectural and monu
mental remains still spared to us, — and of the numerous vestiges of
arms, implements, golden ornaments, and other articles in use
among our ancestors^ evidencing their skiU in workmanship and
their advancement in civilization. Many of these are in England,
or scattered over the, Continent ; many, happily, are at home.
In recent times the earnestness displayed in other departments
has excited throughout the Country a strong wish to become ac
quainted with objects which possess so much interest for men of
cultivated minds ; and a desire has sprung up among the people to
study for themselves those historic originals, rather than to expect a
future historian's representation of them at second-hand. This
wish seems now widely spread and firmly seated in the national mind.
The Irish Archseological Society, founded on St. Patrick's Day,
1840, have earnestly labored in the publication of original historic
documents, of which twelve votumes are now completed, — all works
of great importance, and ably edited; and it is earnestly to be
hoped that their useful labors may be long continued, and meet
with that pubUc support which they so eminently merit.

11

However, the field of labor is so large, and long neglect has so
increased the necessity for exertion, that it has been thought advisable
to establish another Society ; the ofiice of which wiH be to aid in
making public and elucidating the valuable and neglected stores of
our National literature, to cultivate the study of our native language,
the greatest record of the Celtic world, and to watch over the pre
servation of the monumental and other materials of Irish History.
The success which has attended similar societies, in other coun
tries, affords encouragement to the promoters of this arduous under
taking. England and Scotland have their Eoxburgh, Maitland,
Bannatyne, Spalding, Camden, Percy, ' Hakluyt,' and Chetham So
cieties. But Erance is the country to wliich it is most important to
look forthe successful cultivation of History in the present day; and
the labors and publications of 'La Societe de F Histoire de France,'
(instituted in 1834,) afford great and encouraging examples.
But this Erench Society has done nothing which an Irish Society,
resting on a broad popular basis, served by willing laborers, and
drawing on materials so rich and abundant, may not reasonably hope
to emulate.
Ireland has yet Celtic Scholars of ripe and accurate learning, pro
found and erudite antiquaries, and was never more rich in that wise
public spirit which is alive to the honor, and athirst for a true know
ledge of the Country.
Erom archseology this knowledge must come ; the genius which
has peopled the hills of Scotland once again with the men of the
dead past, and made the Norman Conquest familiar to our daily
knowledge, drew from such a source. To give back to the imagi
nation the races that have flourished and passed away in our Country
is not the work of invention. The historian, the poet,, and the
artist, must collect from the materials, which the Celtic Society seeks
to preserve, 'the colors that will give life and reality to their labors ;
and enable them to adorn their Country with great memories and
associations, which will make her dearer to her sons, and more
honored and interesting in the eyes of the world."

IV

Report of the Council to the Annual General Meeting of the Celtic
Society, held on Tuesday 26th February, 1850.

" The Council of the Celtic Society feel much gratification in an
nouncing that fifty new Members ^have been elected, notwithstanding
the unpropitious state of the Country, during the year which has
elapsed since our last general meeting.
" This large accession of support affords a pleasing evidence that the
importance of the objects of the Celtic Society is becoming more widely
recognised, and the high value of the ancient history and literature of
Ireland more justly appreciated than hitherto.
" The Council have decided on publishing a miscellaneous volume
for the year 1849. It will contain — I. A treatise from the " Book of
Leacan," on the ancient history and topogi-aphy of a portion of the
county of Cork, with an account of the family of O'Driscol. II. A
historical poem on the Battle of Downpatriek, A.D. 1260, by the Bard
Gilla Brighde Mac Con Midhe. III. Sir Richard Biugham's "Ac
count of his services against the Bourkes in Connacht," in the reign
of Elizabeth, from the original manuscript in the British Museum.
IV. A very interesting autobiographv, written by the first baron of
Culmore, and entitled " A Narration ofthe services done by the Armv
ymployed to Loughfoyle, under the leading of mee Sir Henry Docwra,
Knight, Charles Lord Mountioy being then Lord Deputie (afterwards
Earle of Deuonshire and LordXewetenant) of Ireland, togeather wilh
a declaration of the true cause and manner of my coming away and
leaning that place. "Written in the sommer, 1,6 14, and finished the
first of September the same year."
" This volume, which will, we trust, prove acceptable to our Mem
bers, is at present in the press and will soon be ready for delivery.
" During the past few years we have had to contend with difficulties
of no ordinary nature, owing to the calamitous state of the Country.
No exertion has, however, been spared on our pai-t, and we have formed
a very effective organization by the appointment of local Agents, which
will, we expect, be the means of obtaining us many new Members

fi'om the facilities thus afforded in the receipt of subscriptions and the
delivery of our books.
" We are most anxious to undertake the publication of some of the
large and important works on Irish History, not included in the cata
logue of the intended productions of our Irish Archseological Society,
but still remaining in manuscript, and inaccessible to the Public, and
which, if not soon printed, must be inevitably lost to the Country.
Such are the '"Clx^v Bo CuA] 151)6,' or 'History of the Great Seven
Years' War between Ulster and Connacht,' which, according to
O'Flaherty, terminated but one year before the Christian era ; ' The Ex
ploits of Ceallachan of Cashel, A.D. 939 ;' ' CAi--\i&]n) TiontSeAlbAig,'
or ' The Triumphs of Toiiogh,' generally known as the Wars of Tho
mond CCuAC ^urijA.), written in the year 1459, by SeAAV 2t)<vc yiuA]6-
T*1S® 2t)e]c Ka]c, giving an account of ' The renovmed events that took
place in Thomond, or North Munster, from the coining of the Stranger,
in 1172, until the death of Robert de Clare, in 1318.' 'l,eAb<V|t
5AbAU,' or ' The Book of Conquests,' by the O'Clerighs, the leamed
compilers of the ' Annals of the Four Masters ;' a correct translation
of Dr. Geoffrey Keating's 'f^o^Wf peAfA A]]t B(|iii),' or 'The Chron
icles of Ireland,' with the classical Latin version of Dr. John Lynch,
author of ' Cambrensis Eversus.' ^,
" These, with many other works of high value and importance to
the students of Irish History, we must, at present, be content with
merely referring to, in the hope that when they have engaged the
attention of the Public we shall be furnished with ample funds to rescue
them from the obscurity in which, to our reproach, they have been so
long suffered to remain.
" We have received a communication from the Rev. James Graves, of
Kilkenny, relative to a manuscript which he has lately discovered among
the archives of the corporation of that town, and styled by him the
'Liber Primus Kilkennits.'
" It is written on vellum in various hands contemporary with the
respective dates of its contents; and commences with some exceedingly
curious by-laws, and Corporate enactments relative to the price of
corn, and the proportionate size and price of bread ; also concerning
the governments of the markets, and the sanatory regulations of the
town &c. dating from the early part of the fourteenth century. Those
A 2

VI
by-laws are most curious and present a vivid picture of the internal
polity and manners of an important town, of what may be called the
English Pale, although, strictly speaking, Kilkenny never formed a
' portion of that district. These regulations also exhibit the progressive
change of manners from the commencement of the fourteenth century,
to the reign of Henry the Eighth, when the manuscript terminates.
" This volume also contains many unpublished charters, several very
early lists of burgesses, nearly an uninterrupted list of the chief oflScers
of the town, called sovereigns, curious rent-rolls of the Coiporation
property, and some most valuable records of the assizes held at Kil
kenny, by Arnold le Poer (celebrated as the champion of Dame Alicia
Kyteler, accused of witchcraft by Richard de Ledrede), who afterwards
died excommunicate in the Castle of Dublin ; and other seneschals of
the Lord of the Liberty of Kilkenny, before that county became shire
ground. Every student of Irish history must be aware what an inter
esting and important subject is presented by these ancient liberties with
their courts, officers, rights, and immunities. The Kilkenny Liber
Primus presents us with several plea^ rolls of the liberty of Kilkenny,
the earliest of which is headed ' E placitis coronas coram Domino Ar
naldo le Poer Senescallo Kilkenniae die lunae proximo post festum
Sancti Michaelis Archangeli,- anno Regis Eduardi, decimo octavo ;'
as also a most important record of the division of the county of Kil
kenny between the daughters and coheirs of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of
Gloster. At page 66 of the manuscript occur short annals of Ireland,
reaching down to the year 1334, and giving local information not found
in other annals. The reverend gentleman, in conjunction with J. G.
A. Prim, Esq. of Kilkenny, has, in the most liberal manner, offered
to edit an abstract of this valuable manuscript for the Celtic Society,
and your Council will gladly undertake its publication, provided they
receive adequate support from those interested in the history and an
tiquities of Kilkenny. Having adopted measures which will in future
effectually prevent our expenditure exceeding our annual receipts, we
would, in conclusion, endeavour to impress on our Members the gi-eat
benefit they will confer on the Society by paying their subscriptions
in advance, as the size of our volumes must necessarily depend on the
amount of funds thus placed at our disposal."
