  Until arose Ua Calmain above an altar,
  It is not known whether one as good as Ua Calmain saw the heavenly kingdom,
  There went not monk's mantle upon one as good.
3. He was a master scribe of beautiful execution,
  Well used he keep the fair Rule,
  He gave useful responses on every occasion.

4. Although no one under heaven could save
  His penitentiary from demons,
  Though he were sanctified without defect within it,
  Yet the body of Ua Calmain would save it.

And he came through those in the night, owing to the darkness, with two or three horsemen. And an attack was made on him on the causeway of the fortress and he came safe from them by virtue of his strong hand and he injured Cathal, son of Aedh the Brefnian. And news thereof reached not Mac Diarmata, until he heard the frays and the execration a-doing throughout the fortress. Thus was it with them till the morrow. And on Mac Diarmata receiving tale thereof, be sent trusty persons to him to put him into the Rock. And he was the greater part of a week therein. And the noble persons of the country used to go secretly every day to him. And if it had been done for Mac Diarmata, peace would have been made with him.

1. If I had made a vaunt of him,
  Mac Diarmata and I made it not,
  Headship of Tara and of the Clan of Conn
  To the chief of Berbha I should give.
2. I see not in Inis-Fail
  A man to be compared to him;
  There is not as far as the house of Cenn-choradh
  One whom Concobur surpassed not.

  Before the Men of Ireland out of that,—
  Without vaunting he obtained the pledge
  Of the host of the fair surface of Ireland.—

Brian, son of Matthew Mag Tigernain, the son of a chief of greatest felicity and pre-eminence, general patron respecting food and cattle, died about the feast of Saint James July 25 that year, as the poet said: Stanza:
1. Brian Mag Tigernain of the contests,
  With his hospitality comparison were not just
  He practised hospitality without reward,
  Heaven was the end of his battle-career.
Brian, son of Aedh Mag Mathgamna, took the kingship of Oirghialla and marriage-alliance and friendship were contracted by him with Somairle, son of John Mac p.521 Domnaill the Black, namely, with the Constable of the Fifth of Ulster, so that he forced him to abandon the daughter of Ua Raighillaigh and gave his own daughter to him. Shortly after that, he Brian brought him to himself into his own house to drink wine. And when that person expected to obtain the wine, the bidding he got was that Brian himself wound his two hands about him and he was seized rudely, contumeliously and carried out—and the few of his people that were in his company—so that his feet and hands were made fast and tied together and he was put into a lake. And tidings of him are not known from that out. Bands were despatched throughout the country and wherever his people were found, they were slain and plundered. Woe the world and land and water wherein was submerged the noble, well-born offspring, to wit, one who was to be king of Insi-Gall Hebridesl, namely, the son of John the Black, son of Alexander. As the poet said: Stanza:
1. This is the lake wherein was put an innocent one,
  Somuirle of the sharp-pointed spears,
  Mid merriment and noise and laughter,
  For it is wine 'neath which he was submerged.
Not an evil without retribution even for a very short time was that evil. For Domnall, son of Aedh Ua Neill and Toirdelbach Ua Neill mustered and gave large donatives and brotherhood and peace to the clan of Aedh Ua Neill the Tawny, namely, to Brian, son of Henry Ua Neill, together with his kinsmen. And there came likewise into that muster Niall, son of Murchadh, son of Murchadh Mor Mag Mathgamna; brother of the mother p.523 of Mac Domnaill and half-king of Oirgialla was this person. And there came what was in the Fifth of Ulster of the Clann-Domnaill, under Toirdelbach Mor Mac Domnaill and under his son, namely, under Alexander and under the son of Somairle himself, that is, under John junior and they betook themselves to attack Rath-tulach, that is, the fortress of Mag Mathgamna. And word came before them and they the garrison abandoned the place and defeat with loss of moveables was inflicted on them and they were not desisted from in pursuit until they reached Loch-Eirne, so that their chattel and their cattle were simultaneously seized completely by the Fir-Manach and by the allied host. Thus Brian Mag Mathgamna was expelled from out the country into the protection of Muinter-Mailmordha and his wife and his daughter were captured.
Cu-Connacht Ua Raighillaigh, king of Breifni, went into the Friars of his own will—a spirited, powerful king was he—and the kingship was given to Philip, namely, to his brother.

The kerns of the two parties met with one another, that is, the whole sept of the Clann-Domnaill. And Raghnall sent messengers to where his own kinsman, namely, Toirdelbach and his son, to wit, Alexander, were, and he asked in honour of the seniority and of the brotherhood not to come against him. And no attention was paid to him and respite was not given to him, but they advanced up to the ford whereon they saw Raghnall and they gave p.527 battle to one another. And the son of Raghnall was slain and wounded between them. And Alexander Mac Domnaill was taken prisoner at the same ford.

Encoding description

Project description: CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling declarations

The present electronic text represents pp. 239-565 of the translation of Mac Carthy's edition. Missing text supplied by the editors in the body of the work is tagged sup. Editorial and scribal corrections entered in the body of the work are tagged corr and the original reading is kept in the sic attribute.

Editorial declarations

Correction: The text has been thoroughly checked and proofread twice. There will be errors and ambiguities in this text as there are in the original editions. Readers are invited to submit corrections and emendations both of this electronic edition and of the editions on which it is based. Any improvements will be credited to the scholars who submit them.

Normalization: The electronic text represents the translated text. A missing translation was supplied in U1351.3 and U1351.4. The order of entries 1366.10 and 1366.11 is inverted in the English translation.The few examples of æ in the print text are not retained since they are merely graphical.Otherwise, normal CELT conventions have been applied in regard to text divisions, word segmentation, and capitalization in proper names.

Hyphenation: Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the page-break is marked after the completion of the hyphenated word.

Segmentation: div0=the body of annals; div1=the individual annal (the text for a given year); div2=the individual entry in an annal, which is numbered in the translation. Passages of verse occurring within text paragraphs or within marginalia are treated as embedded texts and, where relevant, stanzas are enumerated in the structural mark-up. The page-breaks of the printed texts are marked.

Interpretation: Names have not been tagged. Offices and titles (king, lord, abbot, erenagh, coarb, lector, sage, oeconomus, etc.) have not been tagged. Numbers have not been tagged. Dates and untranslated Gaelic terms have been tagged.

Reference declaration

A canonical reference to a location in this text should be made using “Year” and “Event”, eg Year U1202, Event U1202.2.
