A great army was mustered by the Lord Justice, Garrett, the son of Thomas, Earl of Kildare. He was joined, first, by the chieftains of Leath-Chuinn, namely, O'Donnell, i. e. Hugh Roe, and his son ; then by the principal chieftains of Kinel-Connell, and a party of the Connacians, namely, O'Conor Roe, i. e. Hugh, the son of Felim Finn ; and Mac Dermot, Lord of Moylurg. There came also in the same muster [all] the chiefs of Ulster, except O'Neill, namely, Art, the son of Hugh O'Neill, Tanist of Kinel-Owen ; Donnell, the son of Magennis ; Mac Mahon, and O'Hanlon ; also O'Reilly, and O'Farrell', i. e. the bishop ; O'Conor Faly ; the O'Kellys ; the Clann- William Burkek ; and the forces of almost all Leath-Chuinn1. These numerous forces marched, without stopping, till they arrived in Clanrickard. Mac William of Clanrickard mustered a great army to give them battle, namely, Turlough, the son of Teige O'Brien, Lord of Thomond, and his kinsmen, with their forces, the Sil-Aedham ; and Mulrony O'Carroll, Lord of Ely, with all clans and chieftains, joined by the chieftains of Ormond and Ara". Mac William and O'Brien, with their forces, then came to a brave resolution not to yield submission or hostages to their enemies, but to come to a battle with them exactly at Cnoc-Tuagh°. A fierce battle was fought between them, such as had not been known of in latter times. Far away from the [combating] troops were heard" the violent onset of the martial chiefs, the vehement efforts of the champions, the charge of the royal heroes, the noise

" Mac William Burke, O'Brien, and the
southern chieftains, were at length defeated and cut off with such dreadful slaughter, that of the nine battalions which they had in a solid phalanx on the field, only one survived, and even this had sufiered."
Ware says that " the fight was sharply con- tinued for some hours with equal loss on both sides ;" but that " at last the victory fell on Kildare's side."
w A countless number. — The celebrated Ed- mund Campion, who wrote in 1570, asserts, in his Historie of Ireland, that "not one English- man was killed or hurt in this battle" 1 and Ware remarks that the same " almost incredible thing was set down in the White Book of the Exchequer in Dublin" ! !

of the lords', the clamour of the troops when endangered/, the shouts and exul- tations of the youths, the sound made by the falling of the brave men, and the triumphing8 of the nobles over the plebeians. The battle was at length gained against Mac William, O'Brien, and [the chiefs of] Leath-Mhogha' ; and a great slaughter was made of them ; and among the slain was Murrough Mac-I-Brien- Ara, together with many others of the nobles. And of the nine battalions which were in solid battle array, there survived only one broken battalion". A count- less number" of the Lord Justice's forces were also slain, though they routed the others before them. It would be impossible to enumerate or specify all the slain, both horse and foot, in that battle, for the plain on which they were was impassable, from the vast and prodigious numbers of mangled bodies11 stretched in gory litters ; of broken spears, cloven shields, shattered battle-swords, man- gled and disfigured bodies stretched dead, and beardless youths lying hideous*, after expiring. After having gained this victory, the Lord Justice proposed to O'Donnell that they should go immediately to Galway, and O'Donnel? replied [as follows] : "A considerable number," said he, "of our forces have been slain and overpowered, and others of them are scattered away from us, wherefore it is advisable to remain in this place to-night, in token of victory, and also to pitch a camp, for our soldiers and attendants will join us on recognizing our standards and banners." This was accordingly done, and on the following day the Lord

They remained for some time together in this town, cheerful and elated after the aforesaid victory. They afterwards went to Athenry, and obtained possession of the town ; [whereupon] O'Donnell and the other chiefs took their leaves of the Lord Justice, and went home to their respective houses.
A treacherous attack was made upon O'Neill (i. e. Donnell) by-Teige O'Hogan" and his sons, in O'Neill's own castle of Dungannon ; and they took the castle.

O'Donnell, Hugh Roe, the son of Niall Garv, son of Turlough of the Wine, Lord of Tircounell, Inishowen, Kinel-Moen, and Lower Connaught, died ; a man who had obtained hostages8 from the people of Fermanagh, Oriel, Clanna- boy, and the Route, and from the O'Kanes, and also the English and Irish of Connaught, with the exception of Mac William of Clanrickard, who, however, did not go unrevenged for his disobedience, for O'Donnell frequently entered his territory, and left not a quarter of land from the River Suck upwards, and from Sliabh O n-Aedhah westwards, which he did not make tributary to him. This O'Donnell was the full moon of the hospitality and nobility of the North, the most jovial and valiant, the most prudent in war and peace, and of the best jurisdiction, law, and rule, of all the Gaels in Ireland in his time ; for there was no defence made [of the houses] in Tirconnell during his time, except to close the door against the wind only ; the best protector of the Church and the learned ; a man who had given great alms in honour of the Lord of the Elements ; the man by whom a castle was first raised and erected at Donegal, that it might serve as a sustaining bulwark for his descendants ; and a monastery for Friars de Observantia in Tirconnell, namely, the monastery of Donegal ; a man who had made many predatory excursions around through Ireland; and a man who may be justly styled the Augustus of the North-west of Europe. He died, after having gained the victory over the Devil and the world, and after [Extreme] Unction and good Penance, at his own fortress in Donegal, on Fri- day, the 5th of the Ides of July, in the seventy -eighth year of his age, and forty- fourth of his reign, and was interred in the monastery of Donegal.

This act was perpetrated thus : Philip went to the town to hear mass, in honour of St. Patrick, and while they [he and his attendants] were at mass within the church, Redmond Oge came around the church with a large party, and set firer to the four corners of the building. When Maguire heard of this, he said that he would not suffer the church of St. Patrick8 to be burned ; and, exciting his people to courage, Philip, with his kinsmen, came out in the name of God and of St. Patrick. A conflict ensued, in which Redmond was thrown from his horse, and afterwards slain, together with his foster-brother, the son of Brian Roe Mac Gillabride1 ; and prisoners were also taken there. And the names of God' and St. Patrick were magnified by this occurrence.

An attack was made on Maguire, i. e. Conor, by the sons of Donough Ma- guire (Thomas, Philip, and Felim), and by the sons of John Boy Mac Mahon. Maguire opposed them, and routed them, and slew Felim, the son of Donough ; he also struck and took prisoner Brian, the son of John Boy Mac Mahon ; and also made a prisoner of Owen, the son of Thomas, son of Art Roe Mac Mahon.
Great depredations were committed by Art, the son of Con O'Neill, upon the Kinel-Farryz. Owen, the son of O'Neill, and the sons of Mac Cawell, over- took him ; and Aengus, son of Sorley Bacagh, was slain on the side of Art ; but Art himself made his escape from them, and carried off the prey.

The son of O'Neill (Art, the son of Con, son of Henry, son of Owen) was treacherously taken prisoner by Art of the Castle, son of Niall, son of Art, son of Owen O'Neill, although he was his gossip, and had been invited by him to his own castle ; and his son, Niall Mac Art, and Felim O'Melaghlin, were also taken prisoners along with him, and delivered into the hands of O'Donnell. Great troubles arose out of this capture.
An army was led by the Lord Justice, the Earl of Kildare, into Tyrone, at the instance of the sons of Con O'Neill; but the sons of Con had obtained O'Neill's castle of Dungannon before the- Lord Justice arrived at it. The Lord Justice proceeded thence to the castle of Omagh, and took it, making prisoners of Turlough, the son of Niallj, son of Art O'Neill, and Owen Roe Mac Sweeny. The Lord Justice demolished the castle, and then returned home.

O'Brien encamped so near them that they used to hear one another's voices and conversation during the night. On the morrow the Lord Justice marshalled his army, placing the English and Irish of Munster in the van, and the English of Meath and Dublin in the rear. O'Donnell and his small body of troops joined the English of Meath and Dublin in the rear ; and they [all] took the short cut through Moin na m-bratharb to Limerickc. O'Brien's army attacked the English, and slew the Baron Kent and Barnwall Kircustown", with many other men of distinction not enumerated. The English army escaped by flight, and the army of the O'Briens returned in triumph with great spoils.

A great war [broke out] between O'Donnell arid O'Neill (Art, the son of Hugh). And another war also [broke out] between O'Donnell and Mac Wil- liam Burke (Edmond, the son of Bickard). O'Donnell hired fifteen hundred axe-men in Tirconnell, Fermanagh, and the province of Connaught, and billeted them on those places. He and Manus afterwards marched with their forces from Derry, until they reached Lower Connaught, and from thence into Gaile- angaz ; and they besieged the castle of Bel-an-Chlaira ; and theyb took the town, and left their warders in it ; they then returned over Sliabh Gamhc, into Tire- ragh, where they remained for some time. When Mac William Burke heard of this [occurrence], he marched with all his forces, and surrounded the castle of Bel-an-Chlair, in which O'Donnell had left his warders ; [but] when O'Don- nell heard that Mac William was besieging the town, he returned vigorously and expeditiously over Sliabh Gamh. Mac William, being apprized of O'Don- nell's approach, left the town, so that O'Donnell was not able to overtake him. Mac William then proceeded into Tireragh, and placed provisions and warders in the castle of Eiscir-Abhannd, having [previously] taken that castle from its hereditary possessors, to whom O'Donnell had sometime before given it up. When O'Donnell was informed that Mac William had gone into Tireragh, he followed him eagerly and expeditiously back again over Sliabh Gamh ; but Mac William being made aware of this, he left his son and heir, Ulick, son of

Some of O'Donnell's horsemen, espying Mac William, went in pursuit of him, and drove him to flight, and to swim across the Moy. He was followed across the Moy, and many horses and men were taken from him ; but he made his escape from them. O'Donnell returned with his army, and laid siege to the castle of Eiscir-Abhann, wherein the son of Mac William was ; and after four days' great labour, they took the castle ; and O'Donnell gave protec- tion and guarantee to the warders. He took the son of Mac William prisoner, and detained him as a hostage. He then ordered that the castle should be placed upon posts', and it was tumbled to the earth, after which he returned home with victory and triumph. Mac William afterwards followed O'Donnell to Donegal, and gave him his own demands ; [and] O'Donnell permitted his sonf to go home with Mac William.
A hosting was made by O'Donnell, accompanied by the chiefs of Lower Connaught and Fermanagh, and many hired soldiers, into Tyrone, against O'Neill (Art, the son of Hugh). They first ravaged and burned Tyrone before them1, until they reached Dungannon. They were for a week in the country destroying it, until O'Neill made peace with them, and relinquished in favour of O'Donnell every claim that had been [in dispute] between their ancestors, namely, the rents of Kinel-Moen, Inishowen, and all Fermanagh. O'Donnell then came to Omagh, and in the space of one week re-erected the castle of Omagh, which had been some time before broken down by the Earl of Kildare ; and O'Donnell left his own warders in it.
An army was led by Garrett, Earl of Kildare, Lord Justice of Ireland, across [the Shannon at] Athlone, into Connaught. He plundered and burned Clann- Conway, took Roscommon, and left warders in it. He afterwards proceeded to Moylurg, and took the castle of Baile-na-huamhah, after having destroyed a great part of the country.
O'Donnell set out with a numerous army on foot to the Curlieu mountains, to confer with the Earl, and to form a league with him. He returned back the same night to Breic-Shliabh', to his own camp ; but a few of his people were

An army was led by Garrett, Earl of Kildare, Lord Justice of Ireland, into Trian-Chongail [Clannaboy] ; and he took the castle of Belfast, demolished the castle of Makeon [Bissett] of the Glynns, plundered the Glynns and a great portion of the country, and led the son of Niall, son of Con [O'Neill], away into captivity.
An attack was made by Donnell, the son of Brian, son of Donnell, son of Henry O'Neill, being joined by the descendants of Flaherty Maguire, against Gilla-Patrick, the son of Philip, son of Turlough Maguire. He made an irrup- tion into the townland of Bun-abhann", and seized upon spoils ; but he was afterwards defeated, and stripped of those spoils. Many of his party, besides the son of Manus, son of Brian, son of Conor Oge Maguire, were slain and drowned between the townland of Bun-abhann and Inis-mor0. Donnell, the son of Brian himself, was taken prisoner at Tamhnach-an-reatap, in the land of Arda- Muintire-Luinin*1 ; and nine of his people were drowned at Caradh Miiintir- Banainr on the same day.
Philip, the son of Turlough Maguire, with his sons and the sons of Thomas, son of Manus Magauran, made an incursion into Teallach-Eachdhach [Tully- haw], and took a prey from Turlough, the son of Hugh Magauran, Tanist of the territory ; and they slew Turlough himself [as he followed] in pursuit of the prey. From thence they proceeded to the Crannog of Magauran, which they took ; and they also made a prisoner of Magauran himself, although he

Cathal Oge, the son of Donnell, son of Owen O'Conor, son of a lord, best in hospitality, prowess, wisdom, and prudence, of all that were in Lower Connaught, was treacherously slain by his own brother, Owen, son of Donnell, adjacent to Baile-Ui-Ghiolgainr. The just judgment of God followed, for Owen himself was in three days after this evil deed hanged by O'Donnell.
Owen O'Malley came by night with the crews of three ships into the har- bour of Killybegsy ; and the chieftains of the country being all at that time in O'Donnell's army, they plundered and burned the town, and took many prisoners in it. They were overtaken by a storm [on their return], so that they were compelled to remain on the coast of the country ; and they lighted fires and torches close to their ships. A youthful stripling of the Mac Sweenys, i. e. Brian, and the sons of Brian, son of the Bishop O'Gallagher, and a party of farmers and shepherds, overtook them, and attacked them courageously, and slew Owen O'Malley, and five or six score along with him, and also captured two of their ships, and rescued from them the prisoners they had taken, through the miracles of God and St. Catherine21, whose town they had profaned.
O'Donnell went over to Scotland with a small band, at the invitation of the King of Scotland, who had sent letters and messengers for him. On his arrival there*, he received great honour and gifts from the King. He remained with him a quarter of a year. After having changedb the King's resolution of coming to Ireland, as he intended, O'Donnell arrived at his house, after having encoun- tered great dangers at sea.
Mac William Burke (Edmond, the son of Rickard, son of Edmond, son of Thomas), a man whose domestics0 were the Orders [Friars] and the Ollavs [Chief Poets], was treacherously slain by the sons of his brother, viz. Theobald Reagh and Edmond Ciocrach", two sons of Walter, the son of Rickard.
An army was led by O'Neill (i. e. Art, the son of Hugh) into Trian Chon- gail, by which he burned Moylinny, and plundered the Glinns. The son of Niall, son of Con, and Mac Quillin, overtook a party of the army, and slew Hugh, the son of O'Neill. On the next day the army and the pursuers met

O'Neill (Art, the son of Hugh, son of Owen Oge) died. He was an intelli- gent, powerful, nobly-acting, scientific, brave, and majestic man ; and seldom, indeed, had the son of a Tanist been Lord of Kinel-0wenm before him. Art, the son of Con, son of Henry, was inaugurated in his place.
Donough, the son of Gonor O'Brien, was vindictively and unbecomingly" slain by the sons of Turlough, son of Murrough O'Brien, namely, by Murrough and Donough. The slain had been the choice of the men of Ireland for his dexterity of hand, puissance, vigour, and bravery.
Teige-na-Leamhna0, the son of Donnell, son of Teige Mac Carthy, died in his bed, as was not expected, he being a man who had destroyed more, and about whom more had been destroyed, than any one that came of his tribe, within the memory of man.
Great generalship [was exhibited] by the Earl of Kildare ; and he overran the province of Ulster as far as Carrickfergus, and Munster as far as the Mac Carthy's [castle of] Pailisp. The same Earl went to Leim-Ui-Bhanainq, and, what was seldom the case with him, he neither broke down nor took the castle, for he was not able to do it any injury. And he [therefore] returned to his house, to collect more forces and larger ordnance ; but it happened that he was taken with a disease, of which he died.

An army was led by the Earl of Kildare (Garrett Oge, the son of Garrett) into Breifny, and committed great havock in that country on that expedition, i. e. he slew O'Eeilly (Hugh, son of Cathal), his brother Philip, a son of Philip, and Garrett, the son of Edmond, son of Thomas O'Reilly ; in short, fourteen of the gentlemen and principal chieftains of the O'Reillys, with a great number of their people, were slain. Mac Cabe (Many, the son of Mahon) was, more- over, taken prisoner.
The castle of Coleraine was taken and demolished by O'Donnell, in revenge of Donnell O'Kane's violation of his guarantee.
O'Donnell committed great havock in Gaileanga ; he burned and plundered the country as far as Cruachan-Gaileangs, and slew O'Ruadhain', and many others.
A war arose between O'Donnell (Hugh, the son of Hugh Roe) and O'Neill (Art, the son of Con) ; and they hired many persons on both sides, and remained for a long time encamped opposite each other. It happened, by the grace of the Holy Ghost, and the advice of their chieftains, that they made a friendly peace with each other, and came to a meeting with each other on the bridge of Ardstraw ; and they became gossips to each other". And new charters were given by O'Neill to O'Donnell (together with a confirmation of the old charters) of Kinel-Moen, Inishowen, and Fermanagh. O'Donnell also delivered up, as a free gift, to O'Neill, his [O'Neill's] son (Niall Oge), whom he had for a wng time before in his custody as a hostage for the observance of fidelity.
O'Donnell went with a fleet of long ships and boats upon Lough Erne, and took up his abode for a long time in Enniskillen. He plundered and burned the islands of Cuil-na-noirearv, and made a peace with the people of Fermanagh, after imposing his authority upon them.
The son of the Great Earl [of Kildare] (i. e. Henry, the son of Garrett) was taken by the Young Earl, i. e. Garrett Oge.
An irruption was made by Hugh, the son of Donnell O'Neill, and Con, the son of Niall, into Cluain-Dabhaill", against John, the son of Con ; and they

by Brian O'Neill in Kinel-Moen. O'Donnell afterwards went to Tyrone, and burned Kinel-Farry", and the whole country, as far as the river called Una', and afterwards returned safe to his house.
The castle of Sligo was taken by O'Donnell (Hugh Oge, the son of Hugh Roe), after it had been a long time out of his possession. It was thus he suc- ceeded in taking it : A French knight came upon his pilgrimage to St. Patrick's Purgatory on Lough Gergk ; and on his arrival, and "at his departure, he visited O'Donnell, from whom he received great honours, gifts, and presents ; and they formed a great intimacy and friendship with each other ; and the knight, upon learning that the castle of Sligo was defended against O'Donnell, promised to send him,a ship with great guns ; and the knight, too, performed that promise, for the ship arrived in the harbour of Killybegs. She was steered directly westwards to Sligo ; and O'Donnell and his army marched by land, so that they met from sea and land at the town. They battered the town very much before they obtained possession of it, and O'Donnell gave protection to the warders. From thence O'Donnell proceeded into Tir-Oililla, and on the same day took the castle of Cuil-Maoile [Colooney], the castle of Lough Deargan1, and the castle of Dun-na-monam ; in some of these he left warders, and he brought away hostages and prisoners from the others. Mac Donough of Bally- mote and his son were slain, as they were coming towards the army of O'Don- nell, by Donough, the son of Turlough O'Boyle. O'Donnell then returned home with victory and triumph.
The castle of Mac Sweeny Fanad, i. e. Rath-Maelain", fell.
O'Donnell made two incursions into Tyrone, without battle or opposition, or without sustaining or inflicting any remarkable injury0, except traversing the country.
A war broke out among the Fitzgeralds ; and James, the son of Maurice, the heir to the earldom, laid siege to Loch Gairp. The chiefs of his army were

John, the son of the Earl, went to complain of his distress to the Dal-Caisq, for there existed friendship and affinity between them, for More, the daughter of Donough, son of Brian Duv [O'Brien], was the wife of this John. O'Brien, with friendship and respect, rose out and assembled the Thomonians, and was joined by Pierce, the son of James Butler, and others of his confederates ; and they advanced to meet the Geraldine army. When the son of the Earl perceived the nobles of the great array of the race of Brian1" approaching, the resolution he came to5 was, not to come to an engagement with them, but to leave the town unharmed ; and thus they parted from each other1.
Mac Carthy More (Cormac Ladhrach, the son of Teige), Lord of Desmond, one who had best acquired [earned] his lordship, and who had encountered most hostility until he became Lord without dispute, the best protector of the destitute and the needy", and of best law and regulations, of all the lords of Leath-Mhodha, died.
The castle of O'Carroll's town, i. e. Leim-Ui-Bhanainw, was taken by the Earl of Kildare (Garrett, the son of Garrett), his father having failed to take it. There was scarcely any castle at that period better fortified and defended than this, until it was demolished upon its warders.
A great defeat was given by Edmond, the son of Thomas Butler, to Pierce Butler and the son of Mac Pierce, and he deprived them of a great number of their people and bonaghtmen [hired soldiers].
