LC1014.01 The kalends of January on Friday, the 26th of the 2 moon, the 15th; the age of the Lord, at that time, 3 fourteen years and a thousand.
LC1014.1A hosting by the son of 4 Amhlaibh, and by Maelmordha, and the Foreigners and 5 Lagenians, into Midhe and Bregha, and afterwards to 6 Termann-Feichin; and they carried off innumerable cows, 7 and a great number of captives.
LC1014.2The festival of Gregory 8 before shrovetide in this year, and Little Easter in 9 summer, which had not been noticed from a remote time.
LC1014.310 A great assemblage of the men of Mumha, and Midhe, 11 and the South of Connacht, by Brian Boromha, son of 12 Cenneidigh, i.e. the King of Erinn, against the Foreigners 13 of Ath-cliath, and against the Lagenians, to bring them 14 under his obedience, as he had previously brought them; 15 for a mutually aggressive war kindled and arose, at that 16 time, between Brian and the Foreigners of Ath-cliath and 17 the Lagenians. Brian took up a position in Cluain-tarbh 18 in old Magh-Ealta, to the north of Ath-cliath. To attack 19 Ath-cliath on this occasion was not to attack a 'neglected 20 breach.' It was like putting a hand into a griffin's nest 21 to assail it. It woulld not be evading conflict, but seeking 22 great battles and contests, to advance against the multitude 23 that had then arrived there; for the choicest brave p.5 1 men and heroes of the island of Britain had arrived 2 there, from Caer-Eabhrog, and from Caer-Eighist, and 3 from Caer-Goniath. There arrived there, still, the principal 4 kings and chieftans, knights and warriors, champions 5 of valour and brave men of the north of the world, both 6 Black Lochlonnachs and Fair Lochlonnachs, in the 7 following and friendship of the Foreigners, until they 8 were in Ath-cliath, with the son of Amhlaibh, offering 9 war and battle to the Gaeidhel. Thither came Siograd 10 Finn, and Siograd Donn, two sons of Lothar, Jarl of 11 Innsi-hOrc, accompanied by the armies of Innsi-hOrc. 12 Thither came, moreover, great hosts from Innsi-Gall, and 13 from Manainn, and from the Renna, and from the Britons, 14 and from the Flemings. There arrived there also Brodar, 15 i.e. the Jarl of Caer-Eabhrog, with very great hosts, and 16 Uithir the Black, i.e. the warrior of Caer- Eighist, and 17 Grisine, a knight of the Flemings, and Greisiam from the Normans. 18 There arrived there, likewise, a thousand bold, 19 brave, powerful heroes of the black Danars, with shields 20 and targets, and with many corslets, from Thafinn. The 21 great armies and famous young bands of Fine-Gall were 22 also there, and the merchants who had come from the 23 lands of France, and from the Saxons, and from Britain, 24 and from the Romans. There arrived there, moreover, 25 Maelmordha, son of Murchadh, son of Finn, i.e. the chief 26 king of the province of Laighen, with the kings, and 27 chieftains, and brave men of Laighen, with youths and 28 servants accompanying them in the same multitude.
29 Great,indeed, was the multitude and assemblage that 30 came thither. Warlike and haughty was the uprising they p.7 1 made, viz.:—the warriors and champions of the Foreigners, 2 and of the Gaeidhel of Laighen, against the battalions of the 3 men of Mumha, and to ward off from them the oppression of 4 Brian Boromha. The muster of the Danars was, therefore, 5 six great battalions, i.e, one battalion guarding the fortress 6 within, and five battalions contending against the 7 Gaeidhel.
8 Brian, however, assembled neither host nor multitude 9 against this great army of the west of the world, and of 10 Foreigners, but the men of Mumha alone, and Maelshechlainn 11 with the men of Midhe; for there came not to him the 12 Ulidians, nor the Airghialla; nor the Cenel-Eoghain, 13 nor the Cenel-Conaill; nor the men of Connacht, save the Hi-Maine, 14 and Hi-Fiachrach, and Cenel-Oedha; for goodwill 15 existed not then between Brian and Tadhg-an-eichghil, 16 son of Cathal, son of Conchobhar, king of Connacht; 17 and hence it was that Tadhg refused to go with Brian to 18 that battle of Cluain-tarbh.
19 Moreover, Indeirghe, son of Uradhan, i.e. Brian's orderly-servant, 20 saw in a vision, the night before the battle, a 21 synod of many clerics, as he thought, coming towards the 22 camp, singing psalms and reading aloud; and Indeirghe 23 asked who the clerics were. “That is Senan, son of Gerrchinn”, 24 said the clerics. “What has brought him hither 25 from his own church?” asked Indeirghe. “Debts that are 26 due to him from Brian”, replied the cleric, “and it is to p.9 1 demand them he has come here”. “They would be paid 2 to him at his house”, said Indeirghe, “even though he 3 had not come here”. “To-morrow the time for paying 4 them to Senan arrives”, said the cleric, “and they must 5 be paid”. They afterwards departed from him. Indeirghe 6 told Brian, moreover, the vision that he had seen, and his 7 Brian's mind was the worse for hearing it.
8 Diarmaid Ua Corcrain, i.e. the orderly-man of Domhnall, 9 son of Diarmaid, and who had been at the killing 10 of the Foreigners in Inis-Cathaigh, saw the same vision, 11 on the night of Easter Friday, for Brian; and 12 thirty-seven years before that Friday night in which Brian was slain 13 this vision was seen.
14 Oebhinn, daughter of Donn-Oilen, came a short time 15 before nocturns on that night, from the Sidh of Craigliath, 16 to converse with Brian, and told him that he 17 would fall on the morrow. Brian enquired of her which 18 of his sons would be king after him, and how many of them 19 would be slain in the battle along with himself. 20 “The first son whom thou shalt see shall be king after 21 thee,” said she. Wherefore it was that Brian sent for 22 Murchadh, in order that he might come to speak with him 23 before all, ere the multitude would arrive. Murchadh 24 came not until he put on his garment. Then it was that 25 Donnchadh heard the voice of Brian, conversing with his 26 Ordlerly-servant, and he waited not to put on all his 27 clothes, but came quickly and placed his hand on the post 28 of the bed in which Brian was, in his tent, and asked 29 Brian what he should do, whether he should go on the p.11 1 foraging excursions, or remain in the camp. Brian said, 2 however, when he recognized Donnchadh's voice, for he 3 liked not his being the first to come to him, “I care not 4 what thou doest,” said he, “as it was not for thee I was 5 seeking” Donnchadh, moreover, left the tent after that, 6 in anger, and Murchadh met him in the door of the tent, 7 and neither of them saluted the other.
8 When Murchadh, also, came and was conversing with 9 Brian, Brian said to him: “go to thy bed”, said he, “until 10 the day comes, and that which I should wish, God has not 11 permitted to thee.” All evil omens were thus crowding 12 upon them until the morning of the day came with its full 13 brightness, i.e. Easter Friday. It was then that a brave, 14 noble battle was fought between them on both sides, 15 for which no equal was found in Erinn. The Foreigners 16 and Lagenians were first defeated and entirely routed, in 17 quo bello cecidit ex adversa caterva Gallorum, Maelmordha, 18 son of Murchadh, chief king of Laighen, and 19 Domhnall, son of Ferghal, king of the Fortuatha, and 20 Brogarbhan, son of Conchobhar, king of Uí-Failghe. 21 Cecidit vero a Gallis, Dubhgall, son of Amhlaibh, and 22 Sighrud, son of Lothar, Jarl of Insi-hOrc, and Gillaciarain, 23 son of Gluniarainn, royal heir of the Foreigners; Uithir 24 the Black, and Suairtghair, and Donnchadh, grandson of 25 hErulbh, and Grisine, and Luimne, and Amhlaibh, son of 26 Lagmann, and Brodar, i.e. the captain of the Lochlann 27 fleet, who slew Brian; and six thousand, either by killing 28 or drowning. There fell there, also, in the mutual 29 wounding of that battle, of the Gaeidhel, Brian, son of 30 Cenneidigh, son of Lorcan, supreme king of the Gaeidhel 31 of Erinn, and of the Foreigners of Britain, and the 32 Augustus of the whole north-west of Europe, and his son, p.13 1 i.e. Murchadh, and his son, viz. Toirrdhelbhach, son of 2 Murchadh; and Conaing, son of Donncuan, son of Cenneidigh, 3 royal heir of Mumha; and Mothla, son of Domhnall, 4 son of Faelan, king of the Deisi-Mumhan; and Eochaidh, 5 son of Dunadhach, and Niall, son of Conn, and Cuduiligh, 6 son of Cenneidigh—Brian's three guards; and Tadhg, son of 7 Murchadh Ua Ceallaigh, king of Uí-Maine; Maelruanaidh 8 Ua hEidhin, king of Aighne; Geibhendach Ua Dubhagain, 9 king of Fera-Maighe; and Mac-Bethaidh, son of Muiredhach 10 Claen, king of Ciarraighe-Luachra; and Domhnall, 11 son of Diarmaid, king of Corca-Bhaiscinn; Sgannlan, son 12 of Cathal, king of Eoghanacht-Locha-Léin; and Domhnall, 13 son of Eimhin, son of Cainnech Mór, great steward 14 of Marr in Alba; et alii multi nobiles.
15 The supreme king, i.e. Brian, son of Cenneidigh, and 16 Conaing, son of Donncuan, were behind the battalions, 17 chaunting their psalms, and performing prayers, when 18 a vehement, furious, Danmarkian escaped from the battle, 19 avoiding death, until he came to the place where the king 20 was. As soon as the Danmarkian perceived the king 21 unguarded, he unsheathed his sword, and beheaded 22 the supreme king of Erinn, and he beheaded Conaing likewise; 23 and he himself fell in the mutual wounding of that 24 fight.
25 Maelmuire, son of Eochaidh, i.e. the comarb of Patrick, 26 came, truly, with seniors and, relics to Sord-Choluim-Chille, 27 and bore from thence the bodies of Brian and his 28 son Murchadh, and the head of Conaing, and the head of 29 Mothla, which he buried at Ard-Macha, in a new grave. 30 Two nights, moreover, was he, with the congregation of Patrick, 31 waking the bodies, propter honorem regis positi.

LC1200.2A great depredation by 3 Cathal Crobhderg and the Connachtmen, in the West of 4 Midhe; and they carried off an enormous spoil of cows 5 and horses, and pigs, and sheep; and they came safely 6 past the Bruighin hither, without a blow being struck 7 against them, saving that three or four of them were 8 killed on scouting parties. The Foreigners turned back 9 from them then, except a few men whom they left watching 10 them. When the Connachtmen, however, saw the Foreigners 11 turning back from them, each one of them went 12 off with his prey, except O'Conchobhair, and O'Flaithbhertaigh, 13 and Mac Goisdealbh, who remained after them 14 with a very small company. When the watching band 15 left by the Foreigners saw this, they went back after the 16 Foreigners, and informed them that the host had departed 17 with their preys, except a very small company that remained 18 in their track. The Foreigners pursued the host, 19 and overtook them immediately, and routed the Gaeidhel before them; 20 and Ruaidhri O'Flaithbhertaigh, king of 21 the West of Connacht, was slain there; and Amhlaibh 22 O'Cuinn, of the Muinter-Gillcán, was the person that slew 23 him. Cathal O'Concennuinn, king of Uí-Diarmada, was 24 slain there, et alii multi cum istis interfecti sunt, of the 25 sons of warriors, and attendants; sed tamen non multi 26 sed pauci interfecti sunt ibi, si verum est ut nunciatum est 27 nobis.

The Foreigners followed up the rout 3 as far as Ath-Luain, and they turned back then, and 4 brought their preys with them, and a great number of 5 the horses of Connacht.
LC1200.3A hosting by Cathal Crobhderg 6 until he reached Tir-Fiachrach-Aighne, as if he went 7 to protect his own land. It was not so in reality; but 8 it was a treacherous and malicious hosting, of which 9 came the destruction of Connacht, and his own destruction, 10 viz.:—to attack Cathal Carrach, son of Conchobhair 11 Maenmhaighe O'Conchobhair, to expel him from 12 Connacht, or to capture him, or to kill him. When 13 Cathal Carrach heard this he sent his people into the 14 woods, and he was himself behind them with all his 15 army. Cathal Crobhderg advanced towards him from the west, from 16 Tir-Fiachrach; and when he reached the 17 middle of the territory of Cathal Carrach, he sent a 18 large army in pursuit of him, with Toirdhelbhach son 19 of Ruaidhri, and other sons of Ruaidhri; and with 20 Maelchulaird O'Flaithbhertaigh, king of the West 21 of Connacht; and with the grandsons of Tadhg O'Cellaigh; 22 and with the knight O'Maelsechlainn, and with 23 the Midhe band. And when they arrived in the 24 wood they were opposed, and battle was given to them, 25 and the people of Cathal Crobhderg were defeated; 26 and Maelchulaird O'Flaithbhertaigh, and the knight 27 O'Maelsechlainn, and Iughuláid Mac Conmedha, and 28 Domhnall, son of the Gilla-dubh O'Laedhóc, were 29 slain there. Cathal Carrach afterwards sent messengers 30 to Luimnnech, to William Burk, and they delivered the 31 son of Cathal Carrach into his hands as a pledge for 32 the pay of the Foreigners. William Burk subsequently 33 assembled a large host from Ath-cliath, and from Laighen, 34 and the Foreigners of Luimnech and Mumha besides, 35 and the two O'Briains, viz.:—Muirchertach and 36 Conchobhar Ruadh, with their armies, to the assistance p.213 1 of Cathal Carrach. They were but a short time in the district 2 when Cathal Crobhderg left it, after hearing that the 3 hostages of Tomaltach, son of Conchobhar Mac Diarmada, 4 and of Mac Oirechtaigh, and all the Síl-Muireghaigh, and 5 of the Tuatha, and of O'Gadhra, and of O'hEghra, and 6 of O'Dubhda, were taken by Cathal Carrach. What 7 Cathal Crobhderg did was to go into the North, to the 8 house of O'Eighnigh, king of Feara-Manach, and from 9 thence to O'Neill, i.e. Aedh O'Neill, and to John de 10 Curci in Ulidia. However, Cathal Carrach and William 11 Burk, and the two O'Briains, with their Foreigners and 12 Gaeidhel, left neither church nor territory from Echtghe 13 to Dún-Rossárach, and from the Sinuinn westwards to 14 the sea, that they did not pillage and destroy, so that 15 neither church, nor altar, nor priest, nor monk, nor canon, 16 nor abbot, nor bishop, afforded protection against this 17 demoniacal host; and they used to strip the priests in 18 the churches, and carry off the women, and every kind of 19 property and stock found in the churches, without regard 20 to saint or sanctuary, or to any power on earth; so that 21 never before was there inflicted on the Connachtmen any 22 punishment of famine, nakedness, and plundering like 23 this punishment. The Connachtmen had an encampment 24 at Ath-liac from the festival of Brigid until a 25 fortnight before May-day, and they plundered nearly all 26 Muinter-Gillcan, and slew and plundered O'Duibhidhir of 27 Muinter-Anghaile.

LC1201.322 Another predatory expedition by Cathal 23 Crobhderg, with all his own army, into Tir-Aililla, when 24 he plundered many persons of the people of Tomaltach, 25 son of Conchobhar, son of Diarmaid, son of Tadhg O'Maelruanaidh, 26 king of Magh-Luirg.
LC1201.4Cadhla O'Dubhthaigh, 27 archbishop of the province of Connacht, in Christo 28 quievit.
LC1201.Cathal Crobhderg O'Conchobhair, with all 29 his army; and O'Neill, with all his army; and the 30 Cenel-Eoghain; and a multitude of the Cenel-Conaill; 31 and O'hEighnigh, king of Feara-Manach, with all 32 his forces, went into Connacht until they reached p.217 1 Tech-Baeithin, in Airtech; and they committed a great 2 depredation on the people of Tomaltach Mac Diarmada, 3 and slew many men of his people. A dispute arose afterwards 4 between Cathal Crobhderg and the chieftains of 5 the North. The cause of this dispute was as follows, 6 viz.:—what Cathal Crobhderg wished was to go against 7 Cathal Carrach and William Burk; and the other party said 8 that they would not go towards the Foreigners, because 9 they had been informed, when they left their homes, that 10 there were no Foreigners in the army of Cathal Carrach. 11 On this account they separated one from the other, and 12 Cathal Crobhderg went into the west of Connacht, and 13 the other party went towards their own country; and 14 the way they proceeded was to Sliabh-Lugha, and into 15 Corann. This fact was told to Cathal Carrach, and to 16 William Burk. The resolution they adopted was to go 17 after the Northern party; and they came up with them 18 as they were crossing the bridge of Es-dara, and followed 19 them to Droichet-Martra. The Northern party turned to 20 give them battle; but battle was not accepted from them. 21 The Connachtmen afterwards returned, and caught 22 O'hEighnigh, king of Feara-Manach, and he was slain; 23 and not because he did not act bravely, but because 24 he was outnumbered. O'Neill turned back in his path, 25 in subjection, and he was not allowed to leave the 26 church of Es-Dara until he gave hostages and peace 27 to Cathal Carrach. Great numbers of them were 28 slain, moreover, from thence to Druim-cliabh, and to p.219 1 Dun-Uí-Airmhedhaigh, and to Sáil-Beinne.

LC1201.88 A great hosting to Connacht by John de Curci and 9 Hugo the younger, son of Hugo de Laci, accompanied by a 10 great number of the Foreigners of Midhe, together with 11 Cathal Crobhderg, to contest the sovereignty with Cathal 12 Carrach; and the way they went was to Es-Ruaidh, and 13 into Cairpre-Droma-cliabh, into Corann, into Corrsliabh-na-Seghsa, 14 into Magh-Luirg-in-Daghda, into Magh-Nai, 15 into Maighe-Finna, to Dun-Leodha, into Maenmhagh, into 16 Tir-Fiachrach-Aighne, until they reached Cill-Mic-Duach. 17 And the reason they proceeded so far southwards was in 18 pursuit of the cows and people of the Connachtmen, and 19 of Cathal Carrach, which had been carried off by Cathal 20 Carrach to Tuadh-Mumha and to Cenel-Aedha of Echtghe, 21 both men and cattle; and he himself was behind his 22 people, with all his forces. These hosts were informed 23 of the wood in which was the camp of Cathal Carrach 24 and the men of Connacht; and the resolution they 25 adopted was to move towards the camp. And when 26 they reached the wood they cut it down, and made a 27 great road before them until they arrived at the camp, 28 which they found empty, after having been abandoned p.221 1 by Cathal Carrach a short time previously, when he was 2 informed that this host was approaching him. And he 3 was in another place in the wood, a short distance from 4 the camp, awaiting them. The resolution the Foreigners 5 adopted, when they reached the camp, was to go towards 6 their horse-boys and horses, whom they had left outside the 7 wood, and those of their host whom they had left behind. 8 When Cathal Carrach and the Connachtmen saw this, 9 viz.:—the others turning out again, they went after 10 them, and overtook them in the clearing which they the 11 Foreigners had themselves made. When they mingled, 12 one with the other, the battle was won by Cathal Carrach 13 and the Connachtmen, and sixty, vel amplius, of the nobles 14 of John de Curci's people were slain there, .i.e. of the 15 nobles of the Foreigners of Magh-Line, and of all Uladh, of 16 their barons and knights; and John himself was struck 17 with a stone, so that he fell from his horse. As soon as 18 they came out of the wood to their people the attack 19 ceased, and the resolution they adopted was to turn 20 back in their track; and they proceeded that night to 21 Ard-rathain. On the morrow they went to Tuaim-da-ghualann; 22 and what they said publicly was, that they 23 would remain in Tuaim that night; but they did not 24 do so, for they departed as soon as the night came, and 25 marched until they arrived at Cill-Dachonne, at the head 26 of Tochar-mona-Coinnedha, where they remained until 27 the morning came. When the morning came they 28 departed, and they went that day to Ros-Comain. On 29 the morrow they proceeded to Rinn-dúin on Loch-Rí, 30 and they were a week transporting the army, and their 31 horses, and their property, eastwards across Loch-rí. 32 And neither Cathal Carrach nor the Connachtmen heard 33 of this until the last day of the transportation. When 34 Cathal Carrach and the Connachtmen heard of it, they p.223 1 followed them to Rinn-dúin, and killed as many as they 2 overtook, and those whom they did not overtake were 3 drowned while escaping; and a great many men were 4 drowned whilst being conveyed across during the preceding 5 week. As soon as the Foreigners arrived in Midhe 6 they arrested Cathal Crobhderg as a pledge for the payment 7 of wages; and John was taken to Ath-cliath until 8 he gave pledges from himself that he would obey the 9 king of the Saxons.

LC1202.5A hosting by p.225 1 Cathal and William Burk, and by the sons of Domhnall 2 O'Briain, i.e. Muirchertach and Conchobhar Ruadh, and 3 by Finghin, son of Mac Carthaigh, into Connacht, until 4 they reached the monastery of Ath-da-larag, on the 5 Buill, in which they fixed their residence; and they 6 were three days in it, so that they polluted and 7 defiled the entire monastery; and such was the extent 8 of the defilement that the mercenaries of the army had 9 the women in the hospital of the monks, and in the 10 houses of the cloister, and in every place in the 11 entire monastery besides. No structure in the monastery 12 was left without breaking and burning, except 13 the roofs of the houses alone; and even of these a 14 great portion was broken and burned. No part of the 15 buildings of the entire monastery was allowed to the 16 monks and brothers, excepting only the dormitory of 17 the monks, and the house of the novices. A stone 18 wall was commenced by William Burk, on this occasion, 19 round the great stone house of the guests, and two 20 days' work was devoted to its erection. Cathal Carrach, 21 son of Conchobhar Maenmhaige, king of Connacht, 22 was killed by the Foreigners on the third day of 23 the building of the stone wall. The erection of the stone 24 wall, moreover, was interrupted after the killing of Cathal 25 Carrach. There were others also slain along with the 26 king, viz.:—Diarmaid, son of Gillachrist, son of Diarmaid, 27 son of Tadhg O'Maelruanaidh, and Tomaltach, son of 28 Taichlech O'Dubhda, et alii multi. They subsequently 29 left the monastery; and after they had left it William 30 Burk permitted the sons of O'Briain, and the son of 31 Mac Carthaigh, to depart with their forces. The resolution 32 that Cathal Crobhderg and William Burk adopted, p.227 1 moreover, was to despatch their mercenaries throughout 2 Connacht, to levy their wages; and William Burk, together 3 with all who were with him, and Cathal Crobhderg, went 4 to Cunga-Feichín. After this a miraculous event happened, 5 and it is not known whether it occurred through 6 a man, or through the spirit of God in the shape of 7 a man, viz.:—it was reported that William Burk had 8 been killed; and there was not a road in Connacht by 9 which this report did not come. The resolution adopted 10 by the tribes on hearing this news, was, as if they had 11 taken counsel together, viz.:—each man to kill his guest. 12 And thus it was done, viz.:—each tribe killed all that 13 came to them; and the loss, according to the report of 14 their own people, was nine hundred, vel amplius. When 15 William Burk heard that his people had been slain, he 16 plotted against O'Conchobhair; but timely notice reached 17 O'Conchobhair, and he left the place where William 18 was; and William went to Mumha, after losing the 19 majority of his people.

They 7 afterwards escaped and left the castle empty, at the 8 command of their lord, and through scarcity of food, and 9 through fear of the men of Connacht. The Connachtmen 10 levelled the castle after that. William left Luimnech. 11 Three castles were given to him, and twelve hostages of 12 the nobles of his people were given by him, together with 13 his own son and daughter.

He was released after some time, through 9 the guarantee of those bishops, without pledge or hostage. 10 He departed out of the district afterwards, and took a 11 great prey, which he carried with him until he reached 12 Loch-mic-Nén. At the end of a week he came again on a 13 predatory expedition to Tir-Oiliolla, and he carried the 14 prey into the Corr-sliabh, and over Corr-sliabh into Magh-Luirg. 15 A great force overtook him there, viz.:—Diarmaid, 16 son of Maghnus, son of Toirdhelbhach O'Conchobhair; 17 and Maghnus, son of Muirchertach, son of Toirdhelbhach 18 O'Conchobhair; and Cormac, son of Tomaltach of 19 the Rock; and Muiredhach, son of Tomaltach of the 20 Rock; and Donnsleibhe, son of Ruaidhri O'Gadhra, 21 king of Sliabh-Lugha; and Flaithbhertach O'Flannacain, 22 chief of Clann-Cathail; and Gilla na-nech O'Mannachain, 23 king of Uí-Briuin-na-Sinna. When the Breifnian mercenaries 24 perceived that they had been overtaken by this 25 immense force, as soon as they had passed over Lec-Damhaighe 26 they fled. When only his own people, therefore, 27 were with Mac Diarmada, he was rushed upon, and 28 his son, i.e. Muirghes, was slain; and other men of his 29 people were slain, and he himself was ultimately captured.
LC1208.230 After the dispersion of this great force the counsel which 31 the sons of Tomaltach of the Rock adopted was to blind 32 Mac Diarmada.
LC1208.3He was blinded by them, truly, and his 33 people were routed.

LC1210.431 Johannes, grandson of the Empress, king of the Saxons, p.243 1 came to Erinn, with a great fleet, in this year.
LC1210.5After 2 arriving he commanded a great hosting of the men of 3 Erinn to Ulidia, to apprehend Hugo de Laci, or to expel 4 him from Erinn, and to capture Carraic-Fergusa.

LC1210.10He 14 promised that he would, and that he would bring his son 15 with him, i.e. Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg; (and it 16 was not the king who requested this). “Bring him,” 17 said the king, “that he may receive a charter for the 18 third part of Connacht”.
LC1210.11When O'Conchobhair arrived 19 at his own place, the counsel which he, and his wife, and 20 his people adopted was, not to take the son to the king, 21 although this was the worst counsel. However, when 22 O'Conchobhair went to the king of the Saxons, and did 23 not take his son with him, Diarmaid, son of Conchobhar 24 Mac Diarmada, king of Magh-Luirg, and Conchobhar 25 O'hEghra, king of Luighne of Connacht, and Find 26 O'Carmacan, a man of trust to O'Conchobhair, and 27 Toirberd, son of a Gall-Gaeidhel, one of O'Conchobhair's 28 stewards, were apprehended by the king of the Saxons.
LC1210.1229 The king of the Saxons went across afterwards, and took 30 these chieftains with him to Saxon-land. He left the 31 government of Erinn with the Foreign Bishop, and ordered p.245 1 him to erect three castles in Connacht.

LC1210.146 Donnchadh Cairbrech O'Briain, with his army, and 7 Geoffroi Mareis, with his army of the Foreigners of 8 Mumha, and Aedh, son of Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair, and 9 the son of O'Flaithbhertaigh along with them, proceeded 10 into Connacht, until they reached Tuaim-da-ghualann, and 11 committed great depredations from thence to Loch-na-nairne, 12 in Ciarraighe, where they committed great depredations; 13 and they were a fortnight, or nearly twenty 14 nights, in Ciarraighe, and the Connachtmen before them.
LC1210.1515 They made peace afterwards, i.e. O'Conchobhair, and 16 Donnchadh Cairbrech, and Geoffroi Mareis.
LC1210.16The conditions 17 were, i.e. that they should be allowed a passage to 18 Ath-Luain, to meet the Foreign Bishop, and should make 19 peace between O'Conchobhair and the Foreign Bishop.
LC1210.1720 They made peace between them; and the conditions 21 were that Toirdhelbhach, son of Cathal Crobhderg, and 22 the son of another noble, should be delivered into the 23 hand of the Foreign Bishop.

LC1221.2Gilla-na-naemh Mac Conmedha, dux of 17 Muinter-Laodhacháin, was killed with one cast of an arrow 18 by the sons of O'Flannagan of Eastern Teffa, whilst coming 19 from the Caislén-núa.

LC1221.5When the Connachtmen heard this, 24 however, they came across from the west, and proceeded 25 through the middle of Muinter-Anghaile, and 26 into Magh-Breghmhuidhe, when they burned Daingen-Uí-Chuinn, 27 and went through it westwards into the 28 Caladh; and the castle was abandoned to them, through 29 force, and on conditions of peace.
LC1221.630 Jacobus Penciail came to Erinn as Legate from Rome, 31 to settle and arrange ecclesiastical affairs; and he collected p.265 1 horseloads of gold and silver from the clerics of Erinn, 2 through simony, and departed from Erinn in the same 3 year.

LC1224.01 The kalends of January on Monday, and the 7th of 2 the moon; M.cc.xxiiii.
LC1224.1A shower fell in places in Connacht, 3 viz.:—in Tir-Maine, and in Soghan, and in Uí-Diarmada, 4 and in Clann-Taidhg, from which grew a great 5 distemper among cows after eating grass and foliage; 6 and their milk and flesh produced various diseases in the 7 persons who partook of them.
LC1224.2Cathal Crobhderg O'Conchobhair, 8 king of Connacht, and king of the Gaeidhel of 9 Erinn according to merit, died in the monastery of Cnoc-Muaidhe 10 on the 5th of the kalends of June; the best 11 Gaeidhel for nobility and honour that came from the 12 time of Brian Borumha down; the battle-prosperous, puissant 13 upholder of the people; the rich, excellent maintainer 14 of peace; (for it was in his time that tithes were first received 15 in the land of Erinn); the meek, devout pillar of faith 16 and Christianity; the corrector of the culprits and transgressors; 17 the destroyer of the robbers and evil-doers; the general 18 battle-victorious defender of the royal law, to whom God 19 gave good honour on earth, and the heavenly kingdom beyond, 20 after dying in the habit of a monk, after triumphing 21 over the world and the devil.
LC1224.3Aedh O'Conchobhair, 22 his own son, assumed the government of Connacht, with 23 his luck and happiness, after him; for he was a king in 24 dignity near his father previously, and the hostages of 25 Connacht were at his command; and it was God who 26 granted the sovereignty to him thus, for no crime was 27 committed in Connacht through the speedy assumption of 28 sovereignty by him, but one act of plunder on the road 29 to Cruach, and his hands and feet were cut off the 30 person who committed it; and one woman was violated 30 by the son of O'Mannachain, who was blinded for his p.271 1 offence.
LC1224.4Muirghes Cananach, son of Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair, 2 the most expert man that ever came of the 3 Gaeidhel in reading, and in psalm-singing, and in versemaking, 4 died in this year, and was interred in Cunga-Feichin, 5 after the triumph of unction and penitence.

LC1224.913 Aedh, son of Conchobhar Maenmhaighe, died while 14 coming from the river, and from Jerusalem, this year.
LC1224.1015 The son of Hugo came to Erinn against the will of the 16 king of the Saxons, and causes of war and contention 17 grew up between him and the Foreigners of Erinn, until 18 the Foreigners of Erinn rose up against him, and he was 19 banished to Aedh O'Neill, king of Ailech; and the Foreigners 20 and Gaeidhel of Erinn, viz.:—Aedh, son of Cathal 21 Crobhderg, king of Connacht, and Donnchadh Cairbrech 22 O'Briain, king of Mumha, and Diarmaid Cluasach Mac 23 Carthaigh, king of Des-Mumha, and the chieftains of 24 Erinn besides, excepting the Cenel-Conaill and Cenel-Eoghain, 25 assembled to proceed against them, until they 26 reached Muirthemhne and Dun-Delgan; and from thence 27 they demanded pledges and hostages from the sons of Hugo, 28 and from Aedh O'Neill. It was then that O'Neill came 29 with his Foreigners and Gaeidhel, whom he distributed 30 on the passes of Sliabh-Fuaid and the doors of Emhain, 31 and on Fidh-Conaille, when he challenged the Foreigners to 32 attack him in those places. However, when the Foreigners 33 of Erinn saw that this protection was assured to them, p.273 1 the resolution they adopted was to make peace with the 2 sons of Hugo, and to leave the conditions to the award of 3 the king of the Saxons; and the Foreigners of Erinn 4 separated, without obtaining tribute or conditions from 5 Aedh O'Neill.
LC1224.116 A great hosting by Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, 7 to the castle of Ard-abhla in the territory of Breifne, 8 when they entered the castle, and burned it, and killed 9 every one whom they found in it, both Foreigners 10 and Gaeidhel.
LC1224.12Duarcan O'hEghra, king of Luighne, 11 mortuus est.
LC1224.13A great hosting to Connacht was performed 12 by Aedh O'Neill, with the sons of Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair, 13 and at the request of all the Síl-Muiredhaigh, 14 excepting only Mac Diarmada, i.e. Cormac, son of Tomaltach; 15 and he Aedh O'Neill proceeded along Connacht, 16 southwards, to Fedha-Atha-Luain, and remained two 17 nights at Muille-Uarrach, and pillaged Loch-Nen, and 18 carried off thence the treasures of O'Conchobhair. He 19 came afterwards to Carn-Fraich, where he plundered Toirdhelbhach, 20 son of Ruaidhri; and he proceeded at a quick 21 pace to his house on hearing that a large army of Foreigners 22 and Momonians, under Donnchadh Cairbrech O'Briain 23 and Geoffroi Mareis, was coming against him, led by 24 Aedh O'Conchobhair and Mac Diarmada. And as they 25 did not overtake O'Neill they pursued the sons of Ruaidhri, 26 whom they banished again to O'Neill.
LC1224.14The Momonians 27 killed Echmarcach Mac Branain, king of Corca-Achlann, 28 at Cill-Cellaigh, on this expedition, after driving the sons 29 of Ruaidhri out of Connacht.
LC1224.15The Foreigners and Momonians 30 attacked Termann-Caelfhinn; and a slaughter of 31 the Foreigners was committed through the miracles of 32 Caelfhinn.

LC1225.04 The kalends of January on the 4th feria, and the age 5 of the Lord twenty-five years, and two hundred, and a 6 thousand.

LC1225.7O'Maelbhrenuinn, abbot of the monastery of 17 Buill, died of the opening of a vein.
LC1225.8A commotion of 18 war was raised in this year by Toirdhelbhach, son of 19 Ruaidhri, son of Toirdhelbhach Mór, and by Aedh, son of 20 Ruaidhri, king of Connacht, and by Aedh O'Neill, to 21 contest the province of Connacht with Aedh, son of Cathal 22 Crobhderg, through the solicitation of Donn Og Mac 23 Oirechtaigh, king-chieftain of Síl-Muiredhaigh, in retaliation 24 for having been deprived of his land and patrimony; 25 and when he rebelled the Connachtmen rebelled, viz.:— 26 the Síl-Muiredhaigh, and the men of the West of 27 Connacht, with Aedh O'Flaithbhertaigh, king of the West of 28 Connacht. However, Aedh O'Neill came with them to 29 the middle of Síl-Muiredhaigh; and they then made 30 Toirdhelbhach, son of Ruaidhri, king; and Aedh O'Neill 31 went home, because the sons of Ruaidhri preferred their 32 own assemblies, which had been summoned by them respectively, 33 with the exception of Cormac, son of Tomaltach 34 Mac Diarmada of the Rock, and David O'Floinn, and 35 other men of trust.
LC1225.9As regards Aedh, son of Cathal 36 Crobhderg, moreover; he repaired to the Foreigners, p.277 1 and it happened fortunately for him, as the Foreigners of 2 Erinn were then at Ath-Luain, holding a court, and every 3 one of them was a friend of his, for his father's sake and 4 his own; for he and his father before him were very liberal 5 of wages to them. He brought with him the Justiciary, and 6 as many of the Foreigners of Erinn as he thought sufficient; 7 and Donnchadh Cairbrech O'Briain, with his army, and 8 O'Maelechlainn, with his army, went also with him. The 9 people of Magh-hAei and the Tuatha fled then into Luighne 10 and Tir-Amhalghaidh, with their cows; and the sons of 11 Ruaidhri were left without an army, without a tribe-assemblage, 12 there being in their company only a few royal heirs, 13 and chieftains, and horse-boys, and attendants.
LC1225.10The sons 14 of Ruaidhri proceeded to Cill-Cellaigh, accompanied only 15 by a small band and a few royal heirs, to protect their 16 cows and people.
LC1225.11Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, with 17 his Foreigners, advanced towards Toirdhelbhach, son 18 of Ruaidhri, where he was with his chieftains; and there 19 were hardly any others than horse-boys and a rabble 20 along with him, for Aedh, son of Ruaidhri, and the son 21 of Muirchertach, and Domhnall O'Flaithbhertaigh, and 22 Tighernan, son of Cathal, and the sons of Toirdhelbhach 23 son of Ruaidhri, went to protect the cows and people of 24 Ferghal O'Taidhg, who had pledged a mutual oath with 25 them. And it so happened that he was the first Connachtman 26 who violated his mutual oath with the sons 27 of Ruaidhri; and he brought the son of Cathal, with his 28 Foreigners, to protect his cows and people, in opposition 29 to them. It was then that the Foreigners encountered 30 Toirdhelbhach, son of Ruaidhri. He and his chieftains 31 arose, and they placed their rabble before them, and 32 retreated excellently without any of their men being 33 slain; for Donn Og Mac Airechtaigh, and Flaithbhertach 34 O'Flannagain, and a small number of the Eoghanach band p.279 1 followed them. In that day a scouting party encountered 2 Echmarcach Mac Branain, who was with a 3 small force in the middle of an oak wood, amongst his 4 pigs and his cows; and he performed great valour when 5 they were killing him, but a superior number of brave men 6 overtook him. Then Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, with 7 his Foreigners, followed the sons of Ruaidhri that night 8 to Milic; and he remained there three nights, plundering 9 Luighne on every side. This thing was unfortunate for 10 O'hEghra, who had to make peace, after being plundered, 11 for the sake of the little that had been left in Luighne. 12 The sons of Ruaidhri were at this time in front of Loch-mic-Oiredhaigh 13 in Glenn-na-Mochart. The resolution 14 adopted by the son of Cathal Crobhderg was to go, along 15 with the Foreigners, after the cows of the Tuatha, and of 16 Síl-Muiredhaigh, and of Clann-Tomaltaigh, by a route that 17 no Foreigner ever took before, viz.:—into Fidh-Gadhlaigh, 18 until they reached Ath-tighe-in-Mesaigh; and they 19 received neither arrow nor dart in that route. They 20 plundered Cul-Cernadha, and inflicted vengeance on cows 21 and people there.
LC1225.12Of those that went into the Bac, 22 all who were not drowned were plundered and killed. 23 Pity, alas! every one who went towards Dubh-Cunga 24 was drowned; and so the fishing weirs were found 25 with their baskets full of children, after being drowned 26 in them.
LC1225.13Of all the droves of Clann-Tomaltaigh that 27 had escaped from the Foreigners, and that had not been 28 drowned, a number went into Tir-Amhalghaidh; and 29 O'Dubhda attacked them, and left not a single cow 30 with them.
LC1225.14As regards the sons of Ruaidhri, moreover; 31 the resolution they adopted at Loch-mic-Airedhaigh 32 was, to disperse until his Foreigners should separate 33 from the son of Cathal Crobhderg, viz.:—the two sons 34 of Ruaidhri—Toirdhelbhach and Aedh—and the son 35 of Maghnus, and Donn Og, were to go to meet 36 O'Flaithbhertaigh, their mutual ally; and the sons of p.281 1 Muirchertach O'Conchobhar, and Tighernan, son of 2 Cathal, to go to protect their cows and people, and to 3 make peace for their sake, until his Foreigners should 4 depart from the son of Cathal Crobhderg.
LC1225.155 As regards the southern half of Connacht, also, it was 6 not more quiet, for the Foreigners of Laighen, and Donnchadh 7 (or Muirchertach) O'Briain, came against them. 8 The Foreigners of Des-Mumha and the sheriff of Corcach 9 came also against them. They plundered and killed 10 every one whom they caught.
LC1225.16Aedh, son of Cathal 11 Crobhderg disliked their coming into the district, for it 12 was not he who invited them; but when they heard of all 13 the spoils the Justiciary with his Foreigners had obtained, 14 envy and jealousy seized them.
LC1225.17Grievous, indeed, was the 15 misfortune God permitted to fall on the best province 16 in Erinn, east or west, south or north; for the young man 17 would not spare his companion, in preying or in plundering, 18 provided that he was the stronger. Women and children, 19 and young lords, and the mighty and the weak, were 20 exposed to cold and famine through this war.
LC1225.18As to 21 Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, however; he advanced 22 to Magh-nEó, and the sons of Muirchertach went into his 23 house, under conditions and guarantees, for the sake of 24 their cows and people. He went on the morrow to Cill-medhoin, 25 and the three armies of Foreigners met there; 26 and the entire cantred was nearly filled with these three 27 armies of Foreigners and Gaeidhel.
LC1225.19It was then that Aedh 28 O'Flaithbhertaigh came, on the covenants and guarantees 29 of the nobles of the Foreigners, and of Donnchadh 30 Cairbrech O'Briain, his gossip, into the house of the son 31 of Cathal Crobhderg and the Justiciary, made peace with 32 him for the sake of his cows and people, and engaged p.283 1 to banish the sons of Ruaidhri from him.
LC1225.20The son of 2 Cathal Crobhderg went with his Foreigners to Tuaim-da-ghualann, 3 and permitted the Foreigners of Laighen 4 and Des-Mumha to depart from him; and it was his own 5 duty to escort the Justiciary across Ath-Luain. He adopted 6 another resolution then, viz.:—to turn back towards 7 O'Flaithbhertaigh; for he liked not the way in which he 8 left him, as the sons of Ruaidhri were at the west side of the 9 lake with him, and his own son-in-law, i.e. Donn Og, along 10 with them.
LC1225.21Then the sons of Maghnus separated from 11 the sons of Ruaidhri, and went into Tir-Amhalghaidh in 12 quest of their cows and people, and found them there, 13 happily, without being plundered or molested; and they 14 carried them with them under the protection of O'Ruairc; 15 and they committed a great depredation on Philip Mac 16 Goisdelbh.
LC1225.22Donnchadh Cairbrech, moreover, sent the 17 nobles of his people, and his men of trust, on before him 18 with great spoils.
LC1225.23< Aedh, son of Ruaidhri, and Eoghan 19 O'hEidhin intercepted them with a small band; and 20 the Momonians awaited not the attack of the son of the 21 chief king; but he went after them and captured the men 22 of trust of Donnchadh Cairbrech; and heavy were the 23 spoils left with Aedh, son of Ruaidhri.
LC1225.24Then Donnchadh 24 Cairbrech went home, and made peace and 'drowning 25 of candles' with Aedh, son of Ruaidhri; and he promised 26 that he would not again go against the son of Ruaidhri, 27 in return for the release of his men of trust; but he kept 28 not this, for he came immediately on the next hosting 29 against the son of Ruaidhri.
LC1225.25It was then, moreover, that the 30 son of Cathal Crobhderg and the Justiciary came to the 31 port of Inis-cremha, after the Foreigners of Laighen and 32 Mumha had departed; and O'Flaithbhertaigh was obliged 33 to give Inis-cremha, and Oilen-na-circe, and also the boats 34 of the lake, for the sake of his cows and people.
LC1225.26Aedh, p.285 1 son of Cathal Crobhderg, went again to Tuaim-da-ghualann, 2 and proceeded on to escort the Justiciary; and a few of 3 the chiefs of the Foreigners, and many mercenaries, 4 were left with him, for he liked not the Connachtmen 5 with the exception of a few of them. He then delivered 6 the nobles of the community into the hands of the Foreigners, 7 as a pledge for wages, viz.:—Flaithbhertach O'Flannagain, 8 and Ferghal O'Taidhg and many more of the 9 Connachtmen, who were obliged to release themselves.
LC1225.2710 It was then that O'Flaithbhertaigh and the sons of 11 Muirchertach, and the other royal heirs, went again to the 12 son of Ruaidhri, after the Foreigners had departed from 13 Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg; and Aedh despatched 14 messengers and writings to the Foreigners, announcing 15 the revolt, and requesting additional forces. He was 16 cheerfully responded to; for these expeditions were 17 profitable to the Foreigners, who used to obtain spoils, 18 and used not to encounter danger or conflict. The Foreigners 19 of Laighen and Des-Mumha were furnished to 20 him on this occasion, in great force, under William Cras 21 and the sons of Griffin; and when they came towards the 22 son of Cathal Crobhderg, he came from the east across 23 Tochar, and proceeded on southwards to where he heard 24 the sons of Ruaidhri were, (viz.:—in Uí-Diarmada), 25 without an army, without allies having arrived to them.
LC1225.2826 Then Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, sent his brother Felim 27 and the chiefs of his people,with Foreign mercenaries, 28 to plunder Eoghan O'hEidhin in Uí-Fiachrach-Aidhne; 29 and they were in a house-camp at Ard-rathain, with a 30 view to committing the depredation early on the morrow.
LC1225.2931 O'Flaithbhertaigh and the sons of Muirchertach, as they p.287 1 were marching to the sons of Ruaidhri, heard of the 2 Foreigners having gone on a plundering expedition to 3 Eoghan O'hEidhin, and of their being at Ard-rathain. 4 The resolution they adopted was to march towards Ard-rathain, 5 and to attack the Foreigners early the next morning, 6 and to burn the town against them. They marched until 7 morning, and were early on the green of the town, when 8 they determined to send first to the town Tuathal, son of 9 Muirchertach, and their Foreigners, and whomsoever of 10 the Gaeidhel would desire to go with him—O'Flaithbhertaigh 11 and the other sons of Muirchertach remaining 12 outside the town.
LC1225.30Bravely, indeed, was the town then entered.
LC1225.3113 The Gaeidhel who offered to go with Tuathal was 14 Taichlech, son of Aedh O'Dubhda. And when they went 15 boldly into the town the Foreigners fled eastwards and 16 westwards out of the town; and the Foreigners were 17 driven in rout eastwards. The Foreigners who fled 18 westwards out of the town inflicted a defeat on those 19 of the Gaeidhel who were in the rear of the town. There 20 were no Gaeidhel more vigorous than the company on 21 whom this defeat westwards was inflicted; but God did 22 not grant that good fortune should attend them.
LC1225.32Tuathal 23 and Taichlech O'Dubhda pursued the party that went 24 eastwards; and Tuathal first wounded the constable of 25 the Foreigners, who fell by Taichlech. It was very fortunate 26 for the sons of Ruaidhri that they were not in this 27 defeat.
LC1225.33It was in this defeat westwards that Mathghamhain, 28 son of Aedh, son of Conchobhar Maenmhaighe, and the 29 son of Gillachrist Mac Diarmada, and the grandson of 30 Amhlaibh Mac Airechtaigh, and Niall, son of Ferghal 31 O'Taidhg, were slain; and the person who slew him was 32 killed, viz.:—the brother of Culen O'Dimusaigh.
LC1225.3433 As regards the sons of Ruaidhri: they met on the p.289 1 morrow with O'Flaithbhertaigh, and with the sons of 2 Muirchertach, and with Tighernan, son of Conchobhar, 3 and with Donn Og; and they proceeded on from the south 4 to Druim-Cenannain.
LC1225.35It was then Aedh, son of Cathal 5 Crobhderg, with his Foreigners, went in pursuit of them.
LC1225.366 The resolution they adopted was—each of them to go 7 towards his cows and his people, and to abandon the sons 8 of Ruaidhri.
LC1225.37The sons of Ruaidhri went out of the district, 9 as they had no Foreigners or forces in readiness, and Donn 10 went again under the protection of Aedh O'Neill; and 11 there resulted nothing to them from this hosting but that 12 the best territory in Erinn was injured and destroyed 13 through them.
LC1225.38Regarding Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, 14 however; he went to O'Flaithbhertaigh, and brought 15 pledges and hostages from him on this occasion. He proceeded 16 downwards to Cill-medhoin, and to Magh-Eo, in 17 pursuit of the sons of Muirchertach, and of Tighernan; 18 and they made peace for the sake of their cows and people, 19 and went into the house of Aedh, son of Cathal 20 Crobhderg, under the guarantee of Donnchadh Cairbrech 21 and the chiefs of the Foreigners. This was a necessary 22 tranquility, for there was not a church or territory in 23 Connacht on that day without being destroyed.
LC1225.3924 After plunderings; and after killing the cows 25 and people of the country, and exposing every one to 26 cold and famine, a great plague prevailed in the whole 27 district, viz.:—a species of fever, by which the towns 28 used to be emptied, without a living man being left 29 in them; and some would recover from this plague, 30 but they were few.
LC1225.40Flann, son of Amhlaibh O'Fallamhain, 31 chieftain of Clann-Uatach, was slain by Felim, 32 son of Cathal Crobhderg, in that war.
LC1225.41Amhlaibh, son 33 of Ferchar O'Fallamhain, the best chieftain of his nation 34 that had come for a long time, died; and his son was 35 slain in the same month, viz.:—the aforesaid Flann.
LC1225.4236 Tadhg O'Finnachta, a man of trust to Aedh, son of p.291 1 Ruaidhri, was killed by the people of Mac Aedhagain, 2 while on a scouting party in the same war.
LC1225.43Muiredhach 3 O'Finnachta, chieftain of Clann-Finnachta (or Clann-Murchadha), 4 died in a vessel on Loch-Oirbsen; and he was 5 quite well when going into it.
LC1225.44Maelbrighde O'Maicin, abbot 6 of Tobur-Patraic, in Christo quievit. He was a virgin and 7 sage; and it was by him the church of Tobur-Patraic was 8 begun, and its sanctuary and crosses were diligently finished, 9 in honour of Patrick, and Mary, and the Apostle John.

LC1227.1A court was established by the Foreigners 8 of Ath-cliath and Erinn at Ath-cliath; and Aedh, 9 son of Cathal Crobhderg, was summoned before it; and 10 he was betrayed in that court until William Mareschal, 11 his own friend, came with his forces into the midst of 12 the court; and they carried him out of it by force, and 13 conveyed him safely to his own country.
LC1227.2As regards 14 Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg; he appointed a meeting 15 immediately after at Lathach-caech-tuaithbhil, with 16 Wiliam Mareis, son of Geoffroi; and he went across the 17 Lathach with only a very few, viz.:—Cormac, son of 18 Tomaltach Mac Diarmada of the Rock, and Diarmaid, 19 son of Maghnus, and Maghnus, son of Muirchertach 20 O'Conchobhair, and Tadhg, son of Mathghamhain O'Ceirin, 21 and Ruaidhri O'Maelbhrenainn. And William Mareis 22 came to the place with eight horsemen. And the son of 23 Cathal Crobhderg remembered the deception and treachery 24 practised against him in Ath-cliath, and he advanced 25 before the Foreigners dismounted, and laid a hand on 26 William Mareis. And he was seconded actively and bravely 27 by his people; for William Mareis, and Master Sleimhne, 28 and Hugo Arden were taken prisoners, and the Constable 29 of Ath-Luain was slain; and he Aedh sent the Foreigners 30 in captivity southwards across Lathach; and he 31 and all the Connachtmen who were with him went and 32 plundered the market, and burned the town. And this 33 was a felicitous act for all the Connachtmen, for they p.295 1 obtained their sons and daughters, and the hostages of 2 Connacht, and peace for the Connachtmen afterwards.
LC1227.33 Donnsleibhe O'Gadhra, king of Sliabh-Lugha, was slain by 4 the Gillaruadh, his own brother's son; and he was killed 5 therefore through the device of the son of Cathal Crobhderg.

LC1227.815 Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, went into Tir-Conaill, to 16 O'Domhnaill.

LC1230.021 The kalends of January on Tuesday; a bissextile year, 22 and the l3th of the moon; M.cc.xxx.
LC1230.1Aedh, son of 23 Ruaidhri, and the Connachtmen also, turned against the 24 son of William, i.e. Richard Burk, and against the Foreigners, 25 through the persuasion of Donn Og, son of 26 Donncathaigh Mac Airechtaigh, and of Cormac, son of 27 Tomaltach Mac Diarmada of the Rock, and his favourites; 28 for they had pledged their word that they would not 29 belong to any king who would bring them into the 30 house of the Foreigners.
LC1230.2They committed, moreover, 31 great depredations on the Foreigners, viz.:—Aedh, son of 32 Ruaidhri, and the men of the west of Connacht plundered 33 the young son of William, and Adam Dubh; Donn Og, p.299 1 also, and the sons of Maghnus, and the young soldiers of 2 Síl-Muiredhaigh, plundered Mac Goisdelbh and Tir-Maine.
LC1230.33 The son of William, however, assembled the greater part 4 of the Foreigners of Erinn, and many Gaeidhel, and came 5 into Connacht, accompanied by Felim, son of Cathal 6 Crobhderg, to give him the sovereignty of Connacht, and 7 to expel Aedh, son of Ruaidhri, and every Connachtman 8 who had turned against him. They proceeded at first to 9 the castle of Bun-Gaillmhe, to Aedh O'Flaithbhertaigh. 10 Then Aedh, son of Ruaidhri, went to assist Aedh 11 O'Flaithbhertaigh; the Connachtmen accompanying him, 12 under the sons of Muirchertach O'Conchobhair; and the 13 Connachtmen were on the west side of Gaillimh, and the 14 Foreigners on the east side; and great conflicts occurred 15 between them every day.
LC1230.4The Foreigners were in this 16 wise, and they obtained neither peace, nor pledge, nor 17 hostage from the Connachtmen.
LC1230.5The resolution the 18 Foreigners adopted was to go after the cows and the 19 people that had fled to the hills and fastnesses of the 20 country, and into the islands of the sea; and they went 21 that night from the castle of Bun-Gaillmhe to Droiched-inghine-Goillin, 22 where it was morning with them.
LC1230.6Then 23 the son of William asked “is there a passage between us 24 and the lake, by which some of the Connachtmen could 25 come down?” The guides answered him: “there is,” 26 said they. He disposed a party of horse to the west 27 towards Cunga, and towards Cill-or Inis-medhoin. It 28 happened then that a countless number of Connachtmen 29 were coming from Cunga early on the morrow, having 30 been unwisely, and unwarily, transported across the lake 31 the night before, in parties of two and three; and a 32 few good men were slain together with the men of 33 trust of Muirchertach, son of Maghnus O'Conchobhair, p.301 1 viz.:—Diarmaid O'hEidhnechain, and Lochlainn Mac 2 Clesain, and Tadhg, son of Gillachrist O'Maelbhrenainn.
LC1230.73 As regards the Foreigners: they went after this success 4 to Magh-Eo of the Saxons. They proceeded on the 5 morrow to Tobur-Patraic, where the canons and devout 6 people of the place came to the son of William, and 7 requested the son of William, for charity, not to remain 8 with them that night. This request was granted to them; 9 and the Foreigners proceeded down to Muine-Maicin. 10 The Foreigners were loth, indeed, to go from Magh-Eo 11 thither; but they had not obtained either hostages or 12 pledges from Maghnus, son of Muirchertach Muimhnech. 13 As they had not obtained hostages they went on the morrow 14 to Achadh-Fabhair, and encamped in the town, to the 15 west of the church, viz.:—at Margenana, on the brink 16 of Loch-Críchan. Maghnus, son of Muirchertach, went 17 into their house, and gave them pledges. As to the 18 Foreigners, moreover; they came again on the morrow to 19 Muine-Maicin, and remained a night there. They proceeded 20 the next day to Magh-Sine, and from thence, 21 by marches, through Luighne to Ceis-Corainn. They 22 went from thence into the Corr-sliabh, and the guides 23 abandoned the usual path; and they crossed the entire 24 mountain without being met.
LC1230.8With reference to Aedh, 25 son of Ruaidhri, and to Tomaltach of the Rock, son of 26 Conchobhar Mac Diarmada, and Donn Og Mac Airechtaigh, 27 and the Síl-Muiredhaigh, who were in the wood— 28 the resolution they adopted was not to bestow attention 29 or regard on the Foreigners, since their cows, and 30 their people with them, had reached the fastnesses of 31 Muinter-Eolais and of Sliabh-an-iarainn.
LC1230.9Donn Og said 29 that he would not observe this resolution. The course he 30 decided on was to go to the west side of the Foreigners 31 until he reached Finn-charn, accompanied by his own 32 brother, and the young men of Síl-Muiredhaigh, and by 33 his own Foreigners, and by the son of Domhnall Bregach p.303 1 O'Maelsechlainn with his Foreigners, and by Brian, son of 2 Toirdhelbhach; and Donn sent a flighting party to them, 3 and a good conflict was being waged against the Foreigners, 4 and he himself was stationed on the summit of 5 the carn, and his hope in the conflict.
LC1230.10Then the Foreigners 6 sent a countless host of mercenaries and cavalry around 7 the carn, and they Donn's party observed them not 8 until they passed from the west around the carn; and 9 Donn was left alone there, with the exception of a few 10 of his kinsmen, and of Brian, son of Toirdhelbhach; and 11 only for a short time were they allowed to remain 12 thus in one spot. Donn Og, being then alone, was 13 proclaimed and recognised; and many soldiers took aim, 14 and five arrows were lodged in him; and one horseman 15 came up with him afterwards; and though he 16 Donn had no weapon but an axe, he did not allow 17 the horseman to close with him; and the horseman 18 would drive his lance into him occasionally. The other 19 soldiers surrounded him from the east and west, and he 20 fell by the superior power that overtook him there.
LC1230.1121 Regarding Aedh, son of Ruaidhri, moreover; he was on 22 the east side of the Foreigners, awaiting them; and he did 23 not give them battle, and it was not with his consent 24 that Donn had done so. And the rout extended eastwards 25 towards him; and he knew not then that Donn had been 26 slain; but Aedh escaped uninjured through the strength 27 of his hand; and he turned upon one man of them who 28 was taking aim at him, and cast the lance which 29 was in his hand at him, so that the shaft went 30 through him; and he was afterwards allowed to depart. 31 However, as success attended the Foreigners, and as Donn 32 Og was slain, the Foreigners sent out great predatory 33 bands as far as Sliabh-an-iarainn, and subjected multitudes 34 to cold and hunger on this occasion. And women 35 and children were killed; and all that were not killed 36 were stripped; and they carried off great, fruitful preys p.305 1 to the camp of the Foreigners.
LC1230.12The Foreigners departed 2 after this, on the morrow, and left the sovereignty with 3 Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg; and Aedh, son of 4 Ruaidhri, was banished to Aedh O'Neill.
LC1230.13Aedh O'Neill 5 died in this year—the king of Cenel-Eoghain through 6 fame aud goodness; a king who gave neither pledge nor 7 hostage to Foreigner or Gaeidhel; a king who inflicted 8 great defeats and killings on Foreigners; a king who was 9 a protector to every one of the Gaeidhel who might be 10 an exile or wanderer; who was the most generous king, 11 and the very best man, that had come of the men of 12 Erinn for a long time.

LC1233.04 The kalends of January on Saturday, and the 16th of 5 the moon; the eighteenth year of the Decennovenalian 6 cycle; xx. primoanno cycli solaris; sexto anno Indictionis; 7 anno Domini M.cc.xxx. tertio.
LC1233.1A hosting into 8 Connacht by Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg, when 9 Cormac, sort of Tomaltach, king of Magh-Luirg, came 10 to meet him, and took him with him into Magh-Luirg; 11 and they established a camp at Druim-Gregraidhe, 12 viz.:—O'Conchobhair, and Cormac, and his son Conchobhar, and 13 the three Tuatha, and the two sons of Muirchertach 14 Mac Diarmada, i.e. Donnchadh and Muirchertach. 15 And the resolution they respectively adopted 16 was to go in pursuit of Aedh, son of Ruaidhri, king 17 of Connacht, and the other sons of Ruaidhri, whom 18 they totally defeated and dispersed; and the sons of 19 Ruaidhri, son of Toirdhelbhach, were deprived of the 20 sovereignty and supremacy of Connacht on that day, 21 for Aedh, son of Ruaidhri, king of Connacht, and Aedh 22 Muimhnech, son of Ruaidhri, and his son, and Donnchadh, 23 son of Diarmaid, son of Ruaidhri, were slain 24 there, and many other persons along with them who 25 are not enumerated here. After the profanation and 26 pillaging of Tech-Baeithin by Aedh Muimhnach, son of 27 Ruaidhri; and after many other churches and ecclesiastical 28 establishments had been plundered by them, they 29 fell themselves in revenge for having profaned the 30 churches and saints of Connacht.
LC1233.2Raghallach O'Flannagain 31 was slain on the same day; and Thomas Biris, 32 constable of Erinn, and his brother John, and John 33 Squier, and many other Foreigners also, were slain 34 there, after they had been cursed, and after their 35 candles had been extinguished, by the clerics of Connacht 36 before that.
LC1233.3Five years, moreover, was Aedh, p.315 1 son of Ruaidhri, in the sovereignty of Connacht, as was 2 said:—
LC1233.47 This was the termination of the sovereignty of the 8 descendants of Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair, king of Erinn: for 9 the Pope had offered right over Erinn to himself and his 10 seed after him for ever, and six married wives, provided that 11 he desisted from the sin of the women from thenceforth; 12 but Ruaidhri did not accept this. And as he did not accept, 13 God took kingship and sovereignity from his seed for ever, 14 in punishment of the sin of the women.
LC1233.5Fedhlim, son of 15 Cathal Crobhderg, immediately assumed sovereignty 16 and government over the Connachtmen; and the castles 17 that had been erected through the power of the sons of 18 Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair and the son of William Burk 19 were demolished by Fedhlim, viz.:—the castle of Bun-Gaillmhe, 20 and Caislen-na-circe, and Caislen-na-caillighe, 21 and the castle of Dun-Imdhain.
LC1233.6Peace, and correction 22 over kernes and sons of malediction, grew up immediately 23 in the tixne of this young king, in this year, so 24 that the districts were orderly during his reign.
LC1233.7A 25 hosting by William de Laci, (i.e. the son of Hugo and 26 the daughter of Ruaidhri, son of Toirdhelbhach Mor 27 O'Conchobhair), and by the Foreigners of Midhe along 28 with him; when they went in great force into the Breifne, 29 to Cathal O'Raighilligh, and to his brother Cuconnacht, p.317 1 and committed great depredations.
LC1233.8A party of the 2 people of O'Raighilligh, however, encountered William de 3 Laci and the chieftains of the host, who were behind the 4 preys; and they gave each other battle, and William 5 Brit was slain there, and other good Foreigners along 6 with him; and William de Laci was wounded there, and 7 Charles, son of Cathal Gall, and many more along with 8 them; and they the Foreigners afterwards returned 9 from the district, without pledges or hostages; and 10 William de Laci; and Charles, son of Cathal Gall O'Conchobhair; 11 and Feorus Finn, son of the Foreign Queen; 12 and Diarmaid Bernach O'Maelsechlainn, died in their own 13 houses immediately after from the wounds inflicted on 14 them at Mona-crand-chain.
LC1233.9Donncathaigh, i.e. airchinnech 15 of Achadh-Fabhair, xviii. kalendas Januarii in Christo 16 quievit: a man held in high repute for sense and figure, in 17 country and church; the best and most generous man of 18 his contemporaries regarding cattle and food; the protector 19 of the poor and mighty; the object of esteem of 20 the country and land; the guide and settler of every 21 affair between his own people and all in general.

LC1234.025 The kalends of January on Sunday, and the 27th of 26 the moon. It was the last year of the Nineteen; xx.ii. 27 anno cycli solaris; septimo anno Indictionis; anno Domini 28 M.cc.xxx. quarto.
LC1234.1Aedh O'hEghra, king of Luighne, 29 was killed by Donnchadh, son of Duarcan O'hEghra—(a 30 house was burned over him, and he was killed in the 31 door of the house, after coming out of it)—in revenge for 32 his having first killed his brother and the five sons of p.319 1 his father's brother, and having blinded his other 2 brother.
LC1234.2Richard, son of William Maréchal, raised a war 3 against the king of the Saxons, in Saxon-land, and 4 came across from the east, and went into Laighen; and 5 the Foreigners of Erinn assembled against him on behalf 6 of the king of the Saxons, viz.:—Mac Maurice, Justiciary 7 of Erinn at that time, and the Earl of Uladh, i.e. Hugo 8 de Laci, and Walter de Laci, i.e. the Lord of Midhe. And 9 all these proceeded to Cuirrech-Liffe in Laighen, and 10 fought a fierce, obstinate battle against the Maréchal; and 11 Richard, son of William Maréchal, was slain there, and 12 Geoffroi Maréchal taken prisoner. And there was no one 13 fighting this battle towards the end but himself alone, 14 after he had been abandoned by his own people. And 15 this deed was one of the greatest deeds committed in 16 that time.
LC1234.3Aenghus O'Maelaghmhair, bishop of Uí-Amhalghaidh, 17 quievit in Christo.

LC1235.06 The kalends of January on Monday, and the eighth of 7 the moon; primus annus cycli Decennovenalis; xxiii. 8 anno cycli solaris; viii. anno Indictionis; anno Domini 9 M.cc.xxx. quinto.

LC1235.4Taichlech, 14 son of Aedh O'Dubhda, king of Uí-Amhalghaidh and Uí-Fiachrach, 15 was killed by the discharge of an arrow, whilst 16 interfering to quell a dispute in the camp of Fedhlim, son 17 of Cathal Crobhderg, king of Connacht.
LC1235.5A great hosting by 18 the Foreigners of Erinn, who were assembled by Richard, 19 son of William Burk; and they went across Ath-Luain to 20 Ros-Comain, when Ros-Comain was burned by them; and 21 they went from thence to Oilfinn, and burned the great 22 church of Oilfinn; and they proceeded from thence to the 23 monastery of Ath-da-laarc on the Buill. And the persons 24 who were the principal chieftains and the boldest on this 25 hosting were Mac Maurice, i.e. the Justiciary of Erinn, and 26 Hugo de Laci, Earl of Uladh, and Richard, son of William 27 Burk, and Walter Ritabhard, high baron of Laighen, with 28 whom were the Foreigners of Laighen; and the routs 29 of all Erinn were along with them; and John Gocan, 30 having the Foreigners of Mumha along with him. And 31 they went on the night of Trinity Sunday to the monastery p.323 1 of Buill; and their soldiers attacked the monastery, 2 and broke open the sacristy; and all its valuable things, 3 and its mass-chalices and altar-cloths, were taken out 4 of it. And this was very hateful to the chieftains of 5 the Foreigners, who returned every article of them that 6 was to be found; and they paid for the things that were 7 not found. And on the morrow they sent their scouts 8 and soldiers, and their routs of kernes, to Creit, and 9 to Cairthe-Muilche, and to Tor-Ghlinne-Ferna, when they 10 brought great preys with them to Ard-carna, to meet the 11 Justiciary.
LC1235.6The Foreigners then adopted an extraordinary 12 resolution, (which no Conacian or Momonian contemplated 13 that they would adopt), at the request of Eoghan 14 O'hEighin, who wished to revenge his injuries on the 15 Momonians, and on Donnchadh Cairbrech O'Briain, viz.:— 16 to go back in the same path into Tir-Maine, and into 17 Maen-magh; and they went from thence to Tuadh-Mumha, 18 without being noticed or observed; and the 19 Momonians were found without having escaped or made 20 preparations; and they then committed great and countless 21 depredations on them.
LC1235.7As regards the Conacians 22 and Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg, however, they 23 followed the Foreigners, after they had stolen away, to 24 keep their engagement with the Momonians, and to 25 afford them succour; and vehement, great contests 26 were fought between them each day.
LC1235.8On the last 27 day, moreover, the Conacians and Momonians went to 28 the contest, and fought it actively, strenuously, manfully, 29 and fiercely. Nevertheless, too many mail-clad 30 Foreigners and a great multitude of cavalry pressed 31 upon them, and a large number of the men of Mumha 32 were slain there through indiscretion of counsel on 33 the part of Donnchadh Cairbrech O'Briain. But the 34 Conacians came out of it with the credit of bravery and 35 glory, without any notable man of them having been 36 slain.
LC1235.931 The resolution O'Briain adopted, on the morrow, p.325 1 was to make peace with the Foreigners, and, to give them 2 hostages and tribute; and it was too long for him until 3 this resolution was adopted, for the greater part of his 4 people had been plundered and burned up to that time.
LC1235.105 With regard to the Foreigners, moreover, they proceeded 6 on towards Connacht, and advanced first against Aedh 7 O'Flaithbhertaigh, who made peace with the Foreigners 8 for the sake of his cows and people, for the sake of his 9 country and land.
LC1235.11As to Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg, 10 however, the resolution he adopted was to take 11 with him towards O'Domhnaill all the cows that he 12 found in Conmaicne-Mara, and in Conmaicne-na-Cúile, and 13 those belonging to all who had obeyed his counsel—and 14 the son of Maghnus, and Conchobhar Ruadh, son of 15 Muirchertach Muimhnech—and to leave the country 16 wasted for the Foreigners.
LC1235.12After this, truly, the Foreigners 17 came to Dun-Modhord 1 , and sent messengers to 18 Maghnus, son of Muirchertach Muimhnech, to demand 19 peace and hostages from him; and Maghnus gave them 20 neither peace nor hostages.
LC1235.13The Foreigners then sent great 21 predatory bands from Dun-Mughdhord, under the sons 22 of Ruaidhri, with innumerable mercenaries; and these 23 plundered Eccuill, and brought great herds with them to 24 Druimne, to meet the Foreigners.
LC1235.13As regards Aedh 25 O'Flaithbhertaigh and Eoghan O'hEidhin, however, they 26 went round with a large army, and with boats which 27 had been brought to Linan-Chinn-mhara. The boats 28 came with their forces, the Justiciary having gone to meet 29 them to Druimne, to the callow of Inis-aenaigh. Maghnus 30 was at this time, with his vessels, on the sound of 31 the island; and great contests and conflicts were waged 32 by them in turn.
LC1235.15The Foreigners were at this time 33 fatigued, and the resolution they adopted was to occupy 34 a camp, and to withdraw their boats to a corner of the p.327 1 large strand which was there. When Maghnus perceived 2 this thing he proceeded from the sound eastwards, and 3 went upon Inis-rathain; and some of his people went 4 upon Inis-aenaigh, and took sheep therefrom to eat. 5 When the Foreigners observed, moreover, that Maghnus 6 and his people had gone towards the island, and them to 7 another island, and that they had neither watch nor ward 8 over the Foreigners, and that the island was between them 9 and the Foreigners-when the Foreigners perceived this 10 they arose readily, furiously, terribly, and quickly; and 11 they suddenly lifted their boats along the strand, and put 12 them on the sea, and filled them promptly with forces, 13 and with armed, mail-clad soldiers, who went upon the 14 two islands, and killed all the people they found in them. 15 Maghnus, and all of his people who were in Inis-rathain, 16 arose and went into their vessels; and if O'Maille's 17 people had been esteemed by Maghnus, he O'Maille 18 would have sent his vessels against the Foreigners and 19 their boats. However, though short the period of the 20 day remaining at this hour, there was not a cow on any 21 island of Innsi-Modh that was not transferred to the 22 shore before night; and the owners of the cows would 23 have themselves previously gone away, through thirst and 24 hunger, if they had not been captured; and many inferior 25 persons were slain between them this night.
LC1235.16On Friday, 26 moreover, the day following, they went upon the islands 27 of the North of Umhall, and the masters of the mercenaries, 28 in honour of the Passion, imposed a restriction that no 29 man should be killed.
LC1235.17When the Foreigners had succeeded 30 in robbing and plundering Umhall, by sea and 31 land, they proceeded with their cows and preys to p.329 1 Lughbhurtan; and the Foreigners went from thence by 2 regular marches to Es-dara, when they committed a 3 depredation on O'Domhnaill, on account of the banishment 4 to him of Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg.
LC1235.185 The Foreigners proceeded from thence to Corrsliabh-na-Seghsa, 6 and went to the callow of Port-na-Cairge on Loch-Cé, 7 to take it from the people of Cormac, son of Tomaltach, 8 and from some of the people of Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, 9 who were guarding it.
LC1235.19The Foreigners of 10 Erinn, however, and the Justiciary afforded a general protection 11 and friendly shelter to Clarus Mac Mailin, archdeacon 12 of Oilfinn, and to the Canons of the Trinity on 13 the Island; and the Justiciary himself, and the chiefs of 14 the Foreigners, went to see that place, and to pray 15 there, and to show respect to it, in honour of the Holy 16 Trinity. A fleet came then, also, with implements and 17 engines to the lake, and an engine was raised by them on 18 a small earthen wall, and many stones were projected, 19 truly, from this engine into the Rock. And as they were 20 not able to accomplish anything against it in this way, 21 the Foreigners made several boats of the houses of Ard-carna, 22 and brought with them the ignitible materials of 23 the district that a flame might be enkindled by them; 24 and they tied empty tuns round this ram to keep it afloat 25 on the water; and they sailed a large vessel surmounted 26 by a house of boards, to tow this ram to the Rock, to 27 burn it by this means. The people who were in it were 28 seized with fear at these stratagems, and they came out 29 of it on parole and conditions; and the Justiciary put 30 therein a garrison of armed, mail-clad Foreigners, and p.331 1 he also put its full of food and drink into it. The Foreigners 2 afterwards left Connacht without food, clothes, or 3 cattle; and they did not carry off with them either 4 pledges or hostages on this journey; and they left neither 5 peace, nor quietness, nor tranquillity, nor happiness in the 6 country; but the Gaeidhel themselves were robbing and 7 killing one another regarding the residue which the 8 Foreigners left in it on this occasion.
LC1235.20As regards Fedhlim, 9 however, he made peace with the Justiciary, and obtained 10 the king's five cantreds, out of which he was to receive 11 rent and customs; and Cormac, son of Tomaltach Mac 12 Diarmada, came with him.
LC1235.21As to the warders of the 13 Rock, moreover, they were twenty nights in it, from one 14 Thursday to another, when the constable of the Rock went 15 outside the door, and one of his own people, i.e. O'Hoist, 16 who remained inside the door after them, closed the door 17 on them; and the Foreigners fled to Trinity Island, to 18 place themselves under the protection of Clarus Mac 19 Mailin, who subsequently conveyed them away. After 20 the occupation of the Rock by Cormac, moreover, the resolution 21 that he adopted was to raze and demolish the 22 Rock, so that the Foreigners should not again occupy it.
LC1235.2223 The two sons of Muiredhach O'Maille, viz. Domhnall 24 and Muirchertach, were slain by Domhnall, son of Maghnus, 25 son of Muirchertach O'Conchobhair, and by Niall 26 Ruadh, son of Cathal O'Conchobhair, in Cliara, where 27 they were interred also.
LC1235.23Tuathal, son of Muirchertach 28 O'Conchobhair, was killed by Conchobhar Buidhe, son of 29 Toirdhelbhach O'Conchobhair, and by Conchobhar, son 30 of Aedh Muimhnech, in hoc anno.
LC1235.24The mercenaries and 31 kernes who were on Finn-loch of Cera, acting oppressively 32 on the part of the son of Ruaidhri, were slain by Maghnus, 33 son of Muirchertach O'Conchobhair, in hoc anno.

LC1236.011 The kalends of January on Tuesday, and the nineteenth 12 of the moon; xx. quarto cycli solaris; nono anno Indictionis; 13 anno Domini M.cc.xxx. sexto.
LC1236.1Maelechlainn 14 O'Maille was killed on Oilen-Dacrunde by Domhnall, son 15 of Maghnus, son of Muirchertach Muimhnech O'Conchobhair, 16 in hoc anno.
LC1236.2Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg, was 17 banished by the Justiciary, i.e. Mac Maurice, his gossip, 18 after the departure of Mac William to Saxon-land; and with 19 difficulty he escaped from them, with his cavalry, after having 20 received forewarning; and they committed great depredations 21 on his people after his Fedhlim's own departure.
LC1236.322 He went off afterwards to seek the protection of O'Domhnaill; 23 and the castle of Muille-Uanach was erected on 24 this occasion against Connacht. The way in which this 25 treachery was practised was thus, viz.:—O'Conchobhair 26 was summoned to a deceitful meeting at Bel-Atha-Feoruinne; 27 and the Foreigners of Erinn were assembled by 28 the Justiciary to this meeting; and they pursued Fedhlim p.335 1 to Ros-Comain, and pursued him from thence to the 2 bridge of Sligech; and as they did not overtake him they 3 committed great depredations on Tadhg O'Conchobhair; 4 and they then seized a great number of noble women, 5 whom they carried away with them in captivity.
LC1236.4The 6 Foreigners came, moreover, with their spoils and captives, 7 to Druim-Gregraidhe in Magh-Luirg; for it was 8 there the Justiciary himself was awaiting them.
LC1236.5The 9 Justiciary and the Foreignersafterwards departed, and left 10 the guardianship and government of the country with 11 Brian, son of Toirdhelbhach.
LC1236.6Great depredations were 12 committed by Brian, and by the soldiers of the Justiciary, 13 on the sons of Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, and on 14 several others of Fedhlim's people.
LC1236.7Great depredations, 15 and numerous outrages, were committed by the sons of 16 Aedh on the Foreigners, and on their Gaeidhelic enemies, 17 so that the country, and the land, were injured and destroyed 18 between them respectively.
LC1236.8Conchobhar, son of 19 Aedh Muimhnech, was killed by Maghnus, son of Muirchertach 20 O'Conchobhair, in hoc anno.
LC1236.9Maelmuire 21 O'Lachtnain, the elect of Tuaim, went to Saxon-land, 22 and was consecrated by virtue of the letters of the comarb 23 of Peter, and the consent of the king of the Saxons.
LC1236.1024 Mac William returned from Saxon-land; and little of 25 Erinn's benefit did he effect by his journey.
LC1236.11As regards 26 Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg, moreover; he came 27 again into Connacht, at the invitation of some of the Connachtmen 28 themselves, including O'Cellaigh and O'Floinn, 29 and including the sons of Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, 30 and the son of Art O'Maelsechlainn –who numbered 31 altogether four large battalions. And they advanced to 32 Rinn-duin, and went boldly, bravely, hostilely, vigorously, 33 and furiously across the bádhun, and over the ditch of p.337 1 the island in which all the cows of the country were; and 2 every captain of a company, and every chief of a host 3 went after the cows; and they took the cows away with 4 them as they met them.
LC1236.12Lamentable, alas! was the deed 5 committed then, viz.:—they abandoned their lord, their 6 honour, and their reputation, for the preys which they met 7 there, as became them not; for they left their king and lord 8 alone, so that there were along with him only four horsemen 9 out of the four battalions that had accompanied him; and 10 the chief king's voice was strained stopping and detaining 11 them.
LC1236.13With regard, however, to Eoghan O'hEidhin, and 12 to Brian, son of Toirdhelbhach, and Conchobhar Buidhe, 13 son of Toirdhelbhach, and Mac Goisdelbh –when they 14 observed the host unwisely, weakly, unwarily scattering 15 and dispersing from each other with preys, they arose 16 quickly, actively, courageously, having a small number 17 of cavalry and many foot soldiers along with them, 18 and went to where they saw O'Conchobhair attended 19 only by a very small band and company.
LC1236.14Then 20 it happened that Conchobhar, son of Toirdhelbhach, 21 came behind the son of Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, and 22 went towards him quickly, heedlessly, taking him for 23 one of a party of his own people; and he fell there 24 by Ruaidhri, son of Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg.
LC1236.15A multitude of the host —of cursed, candle-extinguished 25 people —were slain in the island, and outside 26 the island, in this defeat, excepting only Tadhg, 27 son of Cormac, son of Tomaltach Mac Diarmada.
LC1236.16When 28 Mac William heard, moreover, that this defeat had 29 been inflicted on all of his people who had turned 30 against him, he joined with O'Conchobhair, and came p.339 1 to attack him, or to pacify him.
LC1236.17Diarmaid, son of Maghnus 2 O'Conchobhair, went under the protection of the son of 3 Muirchertach O'Conchobhair.
LC1236.18Then it was that Mac 4 William proceeded, without notice, without being observed, 5 to Tuaim-dá-ghualann, and from thence to Magh-Eó 6 of the Saxons; and not a stack of seed or corn of all that 7 was in the great relig of Magh-Eó, or in the relig of the 8 church of Michael the Archangel, was left without being 9 taken away together; and three score, or four score 10 baskets were brought out of these churches, besides every 11 other injury and disorder committed after them; but this 12 was of little consequence.
LC1236.19And they went from thence 13 to Turloch, on which the same punishment was inflicted. 14 And they sent out great predatory bands against the 15 people of the son of Maghnus, who met the people of 16 Conchobhar Ruadh and of Turlagh, and plundered them 17 all indiscriminately.
LC1236.20Maghnus, indeed, was obliged to 18 send away from him such of the people of the son of 19 Maghnus O'Conchobhair as had come to him, or else the 20 same treatment would have been inflicted on him as had 21 been inflicted on his brother.
LC1236.21As to Conchobhar Ruadh, 22 moreover, he went on the morrow into the house of Mac 23 William, and made peace there; and his preys of the cows 24 of which he had been plundered were restored to him; and 25 what the people of the church found alive of their stock 26 was given to them.
LC1236.22Regarding the son of Maghnus, also, 27 he went into the house of the Foreigners for the sake of 28 his cows and people, i.e. of all that had been left to him of p.341 1 his cows.
LC1236.23Then Mac William went to Balla, where 2 he remained two nights, and proceeded from thence 3 to Tuaim-da-ghualann; and he left Connacht afterwards 4 without food or clothing in church or territory, without 5 peace, or quiet, or prosperity, but each man attacking 6 his fellow, excepting the supremacy which the sons of 7 Muirchertach conceded to him.
LC1236.24It was on this occasion 8 the people of Brian, son of Toirdhelbhach, burned the 9 church of Imlech-Brochadha against the people of 10 O'Floinn, and its full of women, children, and black 11 nuns, and three priests, in it. And Termann-Caeluinn 12 was also burned by the Justiciary.
LC1236.25Aedh O'Flaithbhertaigh, 13 king of the West of Connacht, died in hoc 14 anno; the greatest and most excellent man that had 15 ever come of the West of Connacht; a man to whom 16 everybody had recourse the most frequently, whilst 17 he had recourse to no man.
LC1236.26Great rain, and bad 18 weather, and war in this year; famine, and scarcity 19 of food and clothing; and kernes and sons of malediction, 20 who had been candle-extinguished by the hands 21 of bishops, without respect for church or sanctuary; 22 and superior dignitaries of the Catholic church were 23 neither day nor night without suffering from fear 24 or terror.
LC1236.27Numerous retreats and frequent headlong 25 routs to the churches took place, before Foreigners 26 and Gaeidhel, and lodging-houses were made of churches 27 and the residences of saints, in this year; and during 28 the period of twelve years down from the war of 29 O'Neill were the Foreigners and Gaeidhel plundering in 30 turn, without sovereignty or supremacy being possessed 31 by one beyond another, but the Foreigners able to 32 destroy it Connacht every time they came into it; the 33 king and royal heirs of Connacht pillaging and profaning 34 territories and churches after them.
LC1236.28Diarmaid, son of 35 Niall O'Ruairc, was blinded by Cuconnacht O'Raighilligh.
LC1236.2936 Cathal Riabhach, son of Gillabroide O'Ruairc, king of p.343 1 Uí-Briuin, mortuus est.

And the 24 descendants of Ruaidhri sent the mercenaries of the 25 Justiciary, who were along with them, to give battle to 26 Fedhlim. Fedhlim ordered his men not to shoot at 27 them, but to stoop the heads and rush fiercely, furiously 28 at them. The mercenaries did not sustain this, but were 29 driven in rout towards their people; and many mercenaries 30 of them were slain in this onset, including Mac 31 Mibhric. When the descendants of Ruaidhri perceived p.345 1 that they had not good fortune, and that the mercenaries 2 were scattered and dispersed, they left the place 3 in which they were without a man of them being slain; 4 and they separated after this defeat, so that they had 5 no residence in Síl-Muiredhaigh; and all their people 6 were plundered; and great depredations were committed 7 on Conchobhar, son of Cormac, in Tir-Oilella. 8 And they afterwards brought a fleet upon Loch-Cé, 9 from which they expelled Conchobhar, son of Cormac, 10 king of Magh-Luirg; and they left the sovereignty of 11 the district and the lake with Donnchadh, son of Muirchertach 12 Luath-shuilech.

And 25 O'Conchobhair said that he would give him his own 26 award. “My award,” said the comarb, “is that the best 27 man amongst you shall be burned by you, as the eric of 28 the son of God. “Maghnus, son of Muirchertach p.365 1 Muimhnech, is he”, answered O'Conchobhair. “No, 2 truly,” said Maghnus, but the person who is chief over 3 the army.” “I shall not leave you,” said the comarb, 4 “until the eric of my foster-son will have been obtained 5 from you.” The host went afterwards out of the town, 6 and the comarb followed them to Ath-na-cuirre on the 7 Geirctech; and the flood was over its banks, and they did 8 not pass over it until they pulled down the hospital-house 9 of John the Baptist, which was on the margin of 10 the ford, to place it across the river, that the host 11 might pass over it. The son of Muirchertach Muimhnech, i.e. 12 Maghnus, and Conchobhar, son of Cormac Mac Diarmada, 13 went into the house, when Maghnus, pointing up his 14 sword, said to the man who was overhead throwing 15 down the house, “there is the nail which prevents the 16 beam from falling.” At these words the rafter of the 17 house fell on the head of Maghnus, son of Muirchertach 18 Muimhnech, and fractured his skull, so that he died on 19 the spot; and he was interred outside the door of the 20 church of Fidhnacha; and thrice the full of Clog-na-righ 21 of silver was given as an offering for him, and thirty horses; 22 and thus it was that the comarb of Caillin ultimately 23 obtained the eric of his spiritual foster-son from them. 24 And a splendid monument of hewn stones, surmounted 25 by a beautiful stone cross, was afterwards erected over him; 26 but the O'Ruaircs broke down the monument after 27 a while through hostility.
LC1244.5Donnchadh, son of Finghin, 28 son of Maelsechlainn, son of Aedh, son of Toirdhelbhach 29 O'Conchobhair, i.e. the bishop of Oilfinn, died in Inis-Clothrann 30 on Loch-Ribh, una septimana ante Kalendas Maii, 31 and was interred in the monastery of the Buill.

LC1244.10A 7 great contention and dispute grew up in the choir of 8 Oilfinn after the death of Donnchadh O'Conchobhair, 9 bishop of Síl-Muiredhaigh, on the subject of making an 10 election; for a number of them elected Thomas 11 O'Cuinn, i.e. a Friar Minor, who was from his conduct a 12 choice bright vessel; but this election was objected to 13 by Clarus Mac Mailin and John, the two archdeacons of 14 Oilfinn, et Malachias decanus, et sacrista Oilfinensis, 15 volentes unum de choro eligere sicut jus fuit; quod 16 audientes juniores canonici elegerunt sibi Comarb 17 Comman O'Conchobhair; majores vero praedicti elegerunt 18 sibi Johannem archidiaconum in plena synodo 19 apud Ath-Luain, per Clarum archidiaconum 20 Elfinensem, quia nunquam voluit errori aliorum consentire.
LC1244.1121 Cormac, son of Tomaltach of the Rock, son of Conchobhar 22 Mac Diarmada, i.e. the king of all Clann-Maelruanaidh, 23 after spending twenty-six years and a part of 24 another year in maintaining valour and hospitality, and 25 defending the province of Connacht against the Foreigners 26 and Gaeidhel who were opposed to him, died in the habit 27 of a grey monk in the monastery of the Buill, in the harvest 28 time, after triumphing over the devil and the world.

LC1247.3Toirdhelbhach escaped from the 19 castle of Ath-Luain.
LC1247.4Milidh Mac Goisdelbh took possession 20 of Fedha-Conmaicne, out of which he expelled Cathal 21 Mac Raghnaill; and he took possession of the crannog of 22 Claen-loch, and left a garrison of his own people in it. 23 Cathal and Toirdhelbhach, the two sons of Aedh O'Conchobhair, 24 joined with Mac Raghnaill to expel Mac Goisdelbh 25 from Fidh-Conmaicne; and they took possession of 26 the crannog and lake, and demolished the castle of Lec-derg, 27 on the Saturday before Whitsunday. And Toirdhelbhach 28 went upon Trinity Island to meet Clarus Mac Mailin, 29 the archdeacon; for the Foreigners had refused to come out 30 of the castle until they could go with the archdeacon across 31 the Sinainn westwards to Tuaim-mna; and they went p.377 1 with him; and Clann-Goisdelbh were expelled out of the 2 district.
LC1247.5A great hosting by Maurice Fitz-Gerald, and the 3 Foreigners along with him, until they reached Sligech in 4 the first instance, and from thence to Es-Ruaidh-mic-Badhuirn, 5 on the Wednesday after the festival of Paul and 6 Peter; and Cormac, son of Diarmaid, son of Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair, 7 went there in his host and muster.
LC1247.6O'Domhnaill 8 assembled the Cenel-Conaill and Cenel-Eoghain to 9 meet him at Bel-atha-Senaigh, so that they allowed 10 neither Foreigners nor Gaeidhel to cross the ford during 11 the space of a whole week; when they determined 12 that Cormac O'Conchobhair should go, with a large force 13 of cavalry, eastwards along the plain, and then turn upwards 14 through the plain by the margin of the bog; and 15 he then proceeded eastwards along the river until he 16 reached Ath-Chuil-uaine on the Erne. And the Cenel-Conaill 17 observed nothing until they saw them approaching 18 on their own side of the river. And when the Foreigners 19 perceived the Cenel-Conaill watching the cavalry in their 20 rear, they themselves rushed across the ford, so that 21 the Cenel-Conaill were placed between both divisions.
LC1247.722 O'Domhnall was defeated, with his army; and Maelsechlainn 23 O'Domhnaill, king of Cenel-Conaill, was slain there; 24 and the Gilla-muinélach O'Baoidhill, and Mac Somhairle, 25 king of Airer-Gaeidhel, and the nobles of the Cenel-Conaill 26 besides, were slain.

LC1247.8A great war was waged 4 by Toirdhelbhach, son of Aedh O'Conchobhair, and by 5 Donnchadh, son of Anmchadh, son of Donnchadh Mac 6 Gillapatraic of Osraighe, against the Foreigners of Connacht; 7 and Toirdhelbhach assembled the sons of the 8 kings of Connacht, until they reached Fidh-Uí-Diarmada 9 and Muinter-Fathaidh, where they killed many persons. 10 And they proceeded thence to the castle of Bun-Gaillimhe, 11 and burned the town and castle; and many persons were 12 killed and plundered there. And Mac Elget, i.e. the 13 seneschal of Connacht, was killed by the son of Anmchadh 14 O'Gillapatraic of Osraighe. And the Foreigners followed 15 them and gave them battle, when a number of the 16 Foreigners were slain; and they went away from them, 17 in spite of them, and went afterwards into Cera. Jordan 18 de Exeter, and Clann-Adam, and the Foreigners of Cera 19 assembled and proceeded against Toirdhelbhach; and 20 Toirdhelbhach left the country to them, as he had not 21 forces enough to meet them.
LC1247.9Burgheis-chinn-trachta 22 was burned by Tadhg, son of Conchobhar Ruadh, and by 23 Tadhg, son of Tuathal, son of Muirchertach Muimhnech.
LC1247.1024 Nor this alone; but the Foreigners of Connacht had not 25 experienced for a long time previously a war equal to 26 that waged against them by these sons of kings in this 27 year; for they left neither district nor cantred of the 28 territory of Connacht belonging to the Foreigners without 29 pillaging.

LC1248.5Jordan de Exeter, however, and John 19 Butler, and Robin Lawless, and several persons along 20 with them, assembled and went to Baile-tobair-Patraic, 21 and from thence to Achadh-Fabhair; and they plundered 22 all Umhall, north and south, on the morrow.
LC1248.6Mac 23 Henry came also, with a large army, into Umhall, (for 24 it belonged to himself, and he was residing in it). Mac 25 Henry then made peace with Domhnall, son of Maghnus, 26 for the sake of his territory; and Domhnall promised that 27 he would furnish forces and boats to attack his brother.
LC1248.7As regards 28 the sons of Conchobhar, moreover; they were 29 on Innsi-Modh, and it was reported to them that a party 30 had gone from Mac Henry to Domhnall, for boats. They 31 advanced against this party, and killed O'hUain, the son p.383 1 of the foreign woman, and John the son of the foreign 2 priest; and Sinnott Guêr, and four of his people along 3 with him, were slain by Diarmaid, son of Maghnus, in 4 this encounter. However, this was the joy with sorrow, 5 for the powerful champion and prop of battle, i.e. 6 Diarmaid, son of Maghnus, was slain on the spot.
LC1248.8Tadhg, 7 son of Conchobhar Ruadh, was killed by the Foreigners 8 in this year. Great, truly, was the fear and terror of this 9 youth entertained by the Foreigners and Gaeidhel who 10 were opposed to him, until he received his death ultimately.

LC1248.11Another hosting by the 23 Justiciary of Erinn to Cenel-Eoghain, to O'Neill; and the 24 resolution adopted by the Cenel-Eoghain was, since the 25 power of the Foreigners was over the Gaeidhel of Erinn, 26 to give hostages to the Foreigners, and to make peace 27 with them, for the sake of their country. Conmaicne-Mara 28 was all plundered by the Foreigners. The Foreigners 29 went on a hosting to O'Flaithbhertaigh, who 30 defeated them, and killed a great number of them.
LC1248.1231 Muirchertach O'Dubhda, i.e. the ex-cleric, was killed 32 by the son of Fedlhlim O'Conchobhair. William Burk 33 died in Saxon-land, and his body was brought to Erinn, p.385 1 and interred at Ath-issel.

LC1249.1A great 17 hosting by the Justiciary of Erinn into Laighen, to attack 18 the sons of kings who were injuring and totally destroying 19 the Foreigners; and the Lagenian sons of kings 20 sided not with the Justiciary on this occasion; and as 21 they did not, he invaded the country, which was entirely 22 wasted by him.
LC1249.2A great war was waged, and numerous 23 injuries were committed, by Finghin Mac Carthaigh 24 against the Foreigners of Des-Mumha, in hoc anno.
LC1249.3Adam Minatur 25 was slain by the son of Gillamochoinne 26 O'Cathail, and many more along with him.
LC1249.4Piers Poer, 27 i.e. the son of Henry, and David Treu, accompanied by a 28 mounted party of young men, proceeded before Mac 29 Feorais into Connacht, to the castle of Sligech. And this 30 was reported to the son of Fedhlim O'Conchobhair; and 31 when he heard it he laid an ambuscade for them, 32 and Piers Poer, and David Treu, and five young men along p.387 1 with them, were slain there; and the bodies of these men 2 were conveyed to Es-dara for interment.
LC1249.5As regards the 3 son of Fedhlim, he proceeded afterwards to Tir-Fiachrach, 4 and through the country of Mac Feorais, which he 5 entirely plundered from the Muaidh eastwards to Traigh-Eothuile. 6 And Geroitin Mac Feorais followed them 7 and overtook Donnchadh, son of Maghnus, who was 8 wounded by him, and taken prisoner after having been 9 wounded; and he subsequently took him with him to 10 Dun-Contreat.
LC1249.6The son of Fedhlim pursued them afterwards, 11 and rescued the son of Maghnus from them; and 12 Geroitin was killed per dolum; and Donnchadh, son 13 of Maghnus, died of this wound; and great was the 14 loss to both Foreigners and Gaeidhel.
LC1249.7Mac Maurice 15 thereupon mustered, and proceeded into Connacht, and 16 deprived the son of Fedhlim of as much of these preys as 17 he found with him.
LC1249.8When Fedhlim, son of Cathal 18 Crobhderg; heard that the Foreigners were assembled in 19 his neighbourhood, after his son had inflicted such great 20 injuries on them, he adopted the resolution of sending his 21 moveables across the Sinainn eastwards, into the Breifne, 22 and to the North of Erinn.
LC1249.9The Justiciary assembled 23 the Foreigners of Midhe and Laighen, and advanced with 24 a great army across Ath-Luain, and from thence into 25 Sil-Muiredhaigh; and Mac Maurice advanced on the other 26 side, accompanied by the Foreigners of Mumha and 27 Connacht. And these two armies went to Oilfinn, after 28 destroying Síl-Muiredhaigh before them so far; and 29 they invited to them Toirdhelbhach, son of Aedh, son of 30 Cathal Crobhderg, and made him king in the place of 31 Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg. And they afterwards 32 plundered the territory of Breifne, and committed numerous 33 injuries in it in every direction, and subsequently 34 brought their preys with them. And they were fully 35 twenty nights in Síl-Muiredhaigh, devastating it; and 36 they plundered Loch-Cé, together with its islands, and p.389 1 the Rock, with its precincts.
LC1249.10The Justiciary moreover, 2 went afterwards into Midhe, and Mac Maurice went to 3 Sligech; and they left Toirdhelbhach, son of Aedh, 4 guarding Síl-Muiredhaigh.
LC1249.11Another hosting by the sons 5 of the kings of Connacht, on the festival of Mary in mid-autumn, 6 to Ath-na-righ, to burn and plunder it.
LC1249.12Another 7 great army under Toirdhelbhach, son of Aedh, and Aedh 8 Og, son of Aedh. And the sheriff of Connacht was in 9 the town before them, accompanied by many Foreigners; 10 and the Foreigners requested a truce for that day in 11 honour of Mary, whose festival it was. And the kings' 12 sons did not grant this truce in honour of Mary or the 13 Holy Cross; but they attacked the town furiously, against 14 the will of Toirdhelbhach.
LC1249.13When Jordan and the Foreigners 15 observed this, they came out of the town against 16 these kings' sons; and Mary performed manifest miracles 17 there; for when the kings' sons, with their people, 18 saw the terrible mail-clad cavalry coming towards 19 them out of the town, prodigious fear and terror seized 20 them at the sight, and they were routed; and Aedh, 21 son of Aedh O'Conchobhair, was slain there, and Diarmaid 22 Ruadh, son of Cormac O'Maelsechlainn; and two sons of 23 O'Cellaigh; and Brian-in-doire, son of Maghnus; and 24 Carrach-ind-shibhail, son of Niall O'Conchobhair; and 25 Baethghalach Mac Aedhagain; and the son of Diarmaid 26 Bachlach O'Conchobhair, i.e. Mathghamhain, grandson 27 of Tadhg; and the two sons of Lochlainn O'Conchobhair; 28 and Domhnall, son of Cormac Mac Diarmada; and the 29 Finnanach Mac Branain; and Cumumhan Mac Casarlaigh; 30 and many other persons along with them.

And this was 4 a satisfaction for the Foreigners, as he had killed, and 5 plundered, and burned many of them previously up to 6 that time; for Donnchadh was the third Gaeidhel who 7 had risen against the Foreigners after they had occupied 8 Erinn, viz.:—Conchobhar O'Maelsechlainn, and Conchobhar-na-gcaislen 9 Mac Cochlain, and the son of Anmchadh; 10 for the son of Anmchadh was wont himself to reconnoitre 11 the market towns in the guise of a pauper, or a carpenter, 12 or a turner, or a person of some other trade, ut dicitur:—

And 19 Fedhlim collected the herds of Connacht, which he took with 20 him down across Sliabh-Seghsa; but the Foreigners sent 21 messengers after him, and made peace with him, and his 22 own kingdom was again restored to him.

LC1256.4A prodigious 18 hosting was made by Walter, son of Richard, son of 19 William Burk, against Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg, 20 and against his son, i.e. Aedh son of Fedhlim, and to the 21 sons of Tighernan O'Ruairc; and it was a very long time 22 before since a host so numerous as this was assembled in 23 Erinn, for it was reckoned that there were in it twenty 24 thousand to a man. And these great hosts marched to 25 Magh-Eó of the Saxons, and from thence to Balla, and 26 from thence throughout Luighne; and they plundered 27 Luighne on all sides about them. And they came 28 to Achadh-Conaire, and despatched messengers from thence 29 to Muinter-Raighilligh, and requested them to come to 30 meet them to Cros-Doire-chaein, at the eastern end of 31 Brat-sliabh in Tir-Tuathail. And Muinter-Raighilligh 32 came to Clachan-mucadha on Sliabh-an-iarainn, and then p.411 1 turned back without having obtained a meeting from 2 the Foreigners, and went from thence to Soilten-gasan. 3 And it was on the same day, viz.:—Friday in particular, 4 and the festival of the Cross above all days, that Conchobhar, 5 son of Tighernan O'Ruairc, mustered the men of 6 Breifne and the Conmaicne, and as many as he could 7 secure along with them, including Aedh O'Conchobhair 8 and the nobles of Connacht, and the Síl-Muiredhaigh 9 besides. And the bravest on this hosting were these, 10 viz.:—Conchobhar; son of Tighernan O'Ruairc, i.e. king 11 of Uí-Briuin and Conmaicne, and Cathal O'Flaithbhertaigh, 12 and Murchadh Finn O'Ferghail, and Ruadh-in-fhedha 13 O'Floinn, and Flann Mac Oirechtaigh, and Donn 14 Og Mac Oirechtaigh, and a great number of Síl-Ceallaigh, 15 and the three sons of Mac Diarmada, and Diarmaid 16 O'Flannagain, and Cathal, son of Duarcan O'hEghra, and 17 the two sons of Tighernan O'Conchobhair, and Gilla-na-naemh 18 O'Taidhg. And great, indeed, was the number 19 of the young men of Connacht there besides. And where 20 the van of this host overtook Muinter-Raighilligh was at 21 Soilten-gasan, and they followed them to Alt-tighe-Mic-Cuirrin, 22 where the recruits of Muinter-Raighilligh turned 23 upon this separate host, and three times routed them. 24 Then the great army came up with them, after some of 25 their people had been slain, along with Diarmaid 26 O'Flannagain, and Mac Maenaigh, and Coicle O'Coicle, 27 and many more; and these several armies all marched to 28 Alt-na-hélti, and to Doirin-cranncha, between Ath-na-beithighe 29 and Bél-in-bhealaigh, and between Coill-essa 30 and Coill-airther on Sliabh-an-iarainn, where Muinter-Raighilligh 31 turned sternly, earnestly, furiously, wildly, irrepresibly, 32 against the son of Fedhlim and all the Connachtmen p.413 1 who were along with him, to avenge upon them their 2 wrongs and oppressions; and each party then incited 3 their people against the other, i.e. the battalion of the Uí-Briuin 4 and the Connachtmen. Then the Connachtmen 5 arose on one side of the battle—a bold, expert, precipitate, 6 impetuous band—and arrayed themselves in a glistening, 7 flaming, quick-handed phalanx, and in close, steady, 8 united bodies, under the valiant, strong-armed heir, i.e. 9 Aedh, son of Fedhlim, son of Cathal Crobhderg. (And, 10 certainly, the son of the chief king had the glowing fury 11 of a prince, the firmness of a champion, and the valour 12 of a lion, on that day.) And a brave, destructive, heroic 13 battle was fought between them respectively in that 14 hour; and multitudes were killed and wounded, here 15 and there, on both sides. And Conchobhar, son of 16 Tighernan, king of Breifne, and Murchadh Finn 17 O'Ferghail, and Aedh O'Ferghail, and Maelruanaidh Mac 18 Donnchadha, were left there; and many more persons 19 were wounded on the spot; and a number of them died 20 of their wounds in their houses, including Murchadh 21 Finn O'Ferghail, and including Flann Mac Oirechtaigh, 22 who was slain in the counter-wounding of the battle, 23 and many more along with him. However, the witnesses 24 of this great battle say that neither the warriors of these 25 bands, nor the champions of the great victory, could gaze 26 at the face of the arch-prince, for there were two broad-eyed, 27 enormous, royal torches flaming and rolling in his 28 head; and every one feared to address him at the time, 29 for he was as far as the voice could reach before the hosts, 30 advancing against the battalions of the Uí-Briuin. And 31 he raised aloud his battle cry of a chief king, and his 32 champion's shout, in the middle of the great battle, and 33 desisted not from this career and onset until the battalion p.415 1 of the Uí-Briuin was routed. However, there were slain 2 on that field Cathal O'Raighilligh, king of Muinter-Mael-mordha 3 and the descendants of Aedh Finn, together with 4 his two sons, viz.:—Domhnall Ruadh and Niall; and his 5 brother, i.e. Cuconnacht; and the three sons of Cathal 6 Dubh O'Raighilligh, viz.:—Goffraigh, and Ferghal, and 7 Domhnall; and Annadh, son of Domhnall O'Raighilligh, 8 who was killed by Conchobhar, son of Tighernan; and 9 the Caech O'Raighilligh, i.e. Niall; and Tighernan Mac 10 Bradaigh; and Gillamichil Mac Taichligh; and Donnchadh 11 O'Bibhsaigh; and Maghnus Mac Gilladhuibh; and over three 12 score of the best of their people along with them; and sixteen 13 men of the Uí-Raighilligh were slain there besides. The 14 battle of Magh-Slecht, on the brink of Ath-derg, at Alt-na-helti, 15 over Bealach-na-beithighe, is the name of this battle.
LC1256.516 Another great hosting, after this battle, by Fedhlim 17 O'Conchobhair and his son, i.e. Aedh-na-nGall, accompanied 18 by the Connachtmen, and by Conn, son of 19 Tighernan, with the men of Breifne; and these two hosts 20 came, moreover, to Loch-an-trein, and attacked the 21 churches of Breifne except Fidhnacha alone, and turned 22 back to their houses, taking with them the hostages of 23 the men of Breifne, viz.:— of Mac Fiachrach, and Mac 24 Tighernain, and Mac Shamhradhain, and the son of Art 25 O'Ruairc; and these hostages, i.e. the sons of these chieftains, 26 were delivered into the hands of O'Ruairc; and 27 Mac Shamhradhain and the son of Art O'Ruairc delivered 28 their own hostages to Aedh-na-nGall. A small force of 29 cavalry, and a few footmen and mercenaries of O'Ruairc's 30 people, went to patrol the territory of Muinter-Maelmordha, 31 for it had been reported to O'Ruairc that emissaries 32 of O'Raighilligh's people had collected to one place 33 all the force that they found of Foreign and Gaeidhelic p.417 1 mercenaries, who had gone to make a circuit of 2 Muinter-Maelmordha, and on a predatory expedition to 3 Mac Fiachrach. As regards Muinter-Raighilligh, however, 4 they encountered O'Ruairc's people at Farnacht; 5 and when they saw each other's faces, Muinter-Raighilligh 6 gave way, although they were three great battalions. 7 Not alone this; but thirty-six men of them were slain 8 on the spot, eight of whom bore the family name of 9 O'Raighilligh, including Amhlaibh O'Raighilligh, and 10 Aedh, son of Cathal O'Raighilligh; and O'Ruairc's people 11 went home joyously, contentedly, without sorrow, without 12 reverse. Conchobhar, son of Tighernan O'Ruairc, king 13 of Breifne, and Gilla-na-naemh Mac Shamhradhain, and 14 Macraith, son of Tighernan Mac Conbhuidhe, and 15 Mac-na-hoidhche Mac Dorchaidh, and Cathal Mac 16 Raghnaill, and the princes and chieftains of Uí-Briuin, 17 with their forces, came to Fidhnacha to a meeting with 18 Domhnall O'Raighilligh; and they followed him from 19 this meeting, and killed his beloved son, i.e. Annadh 20 O'Raighilligh, and Gilla-Isa Mac-an-Crottaigh, and many 21 more along with them; and they carried off a great prey 22 from Cruachan-O'Cúbhrán on the morrow, i.e. the festival 23 day of Brenainn, and plundered the district before them 24 as far as Fidhnacha of Magh-Rein. This day, however, 25 was but a 'drop before a shower' to Muinter-Raighilligh, 26 as then grew the beginning of succeeding tribulation and 27 injury to them; for they despatched messengers at that 28 time to the Foreigners, viz.:—to Mac William Burk and to 29 Mac Goisdelbh, with a view to devastating Connacht and 30 the Breifne. As regards the Foreigners, moreover, they p.419 1 assembled a very great host, and proceeded to Ceis-Corainn, 2 where they encamped, and where they remained 3 the greater part of a week; and they plundered all the 4 churches of the Corann. As to Muinter-Raighilligh, 5 they advanced to Loch-Aillinne, to the shore of the 6 island which is called Fuar-chossach, on Loch-Aillinne; 7 but the Foreigners came not to this rendezvous, through 8 fear of Aedh O'Conchobhair, who was then at Cill-tSeisin 9 in Uachtar-tire, observing these hosts from the 10 east and from the west, and watching which of them he 11 should attack. With regard to Aedh O'Conchobhair, 12 when he heard that Muinter-Raighilligh had arrived at 13 the place, the resolution which he and O'Ruairc (who 14 was at this time with him) adopted, was to leave their 15 horses and armour at Cill-tSeisin, and to go themselves 16 on foot eastwards across the Shannon, to make an 17 attack on Muinter-Raighilligh; and they went by the 18 passes, and sent routs and mercenaries on before them, 19 to catch Muinter-Raighilligh, ut supra diximus. The 20 Foreigners returned home after this, and the Bishop 21 O'Maicin was 'drowning their candles' about nones, 22 when it was equally dark in field and wood. On the 23 night of the festival of the Cross, truly,Muinter-Raighilligh 24 were routed; and it was on the spot in 25 which this engagement was fought that Aedh O'Conchobhair 26 passed that night; and Muinter-Raighilligh 27 were beheaded by him on the morrow in that place, and he 28 brought their heads to Fedhlim, to Dun-Aille behind 29 Badhna.
LC1256.6A Justiciary came to Erinn from the king of 30 the Saxons, to adjust the lands of Erinn between the p.421 1 barons and knights of Erinn. A meeting was held by 2 the Justiciary and Aedh O'Conchobhair at Rinn-dúin; 3 and they made peace with one another, on condition that 4 the territory or land of O'Conchobhair should not be 5 diminished while he the Justiciary should be Justiciary 6 in Erinn. Aedh, son of Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, plundered 7 the country of Richard Cuisin, in revenge for his 8 having killed O'Gadhra; and he afterwards demolished his 9 castle, and killed all the people who were in it, and took 10 possession of all Loch-Techet. Raghnall Mac Branain, dux 11 of Corca-Achlann, mortuus est.
LC1256.7A great depredation was 12 committed by Mac William Burk on Ruaidhri O'Flaithbhertaigh, 13 when he plundered Gno-mór and Gno-beg; 14 and he afterwards took possession of all Loch-Oirbsen. 15 A great meeting was held by Aedh O'Conchobhair and 16 John de Verdun, at Ath-Liag-na-Sinna, in hoc anno. 17 Sitric Mac Shenlaich escaped, and went to the monastery 18 of the Buill, to seek the protection of the Order.
LC1256.8Donncathaigh 19 Mac Shenlaich died in the monastery of the Buill 20 in hoc anno.

LC1256.13O'Ruairc went to meet the 27 Foreigners, and concluded a separate peace for himself, 28 without the permission of Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, or of 29 his son. A great depredation was committed by Aedh 30 O'Conchobhair on O'Ruairc, the Wednesday before Great 31 Christmas; and they made peace afterwards.

The sheriff of Connacht, i.e. Jordan de Exeter, went 26 on the sea, with a large fleet of Foreigners, after Mac 27 Somhairle and the fleet that had robbed the merchant-vessel. 28 Mac Somhairle was at this time on an island of 29 the sea, having his vessels ashore; and when they saw 30 the sheriff's fleet approaching them, Mac Somhairle put 31 on his armour, and his dress of battle and combat; and 32 his people then put on their armour along with him.

They plundered Ros-Comain, and destroyed 14 its corn, but they dared not go northwards past 15 Ros-Comain on this occasion, for Fedhlim O'Conchobhair 16 and his son, i.e. Aedh na-nGall, were in the Tuatha, and 17 the cows of Connacht were behind them in the wilderness. 18 And the resolution both parties adopted was to 19 make peace with one another; and Mac William afterwards 20 returned home.

As regards the Foreigners, however, 28 Mac William Burk, accompanied by a great army, came 29 from the west across Tochar-Mona-Coinnedha, to Oilfinn, 30 and the Justiciary of Erinn and John de Verdun went 31 westwards across Ath-Luain, to Ros-Comain; and they 32 despatched great predatory bands intoCenel-Dobhtha-mic-Aenghusa, 33 who on that occasion plundered all that p.443 1 remained in Connacht after O'Conchobhair; and they 2 marked out the site of a castle in Ros-Comain on this 3 expedition. With regard to Aedh O'Conchobhair, he 4 collected a large army, and plundered the Foreigners of 5 all the West of Connacht eastwards from Magh-Eó of the 6 Saxons, and from Balla, and burned their towns and corn 7 fields from thence to Sliabh-Lugha, and slew many 8 persons between those places.

LC1270.012 The kalends of January on Wednesday, and the third 13 of the moon; anno Domini M.cc.lxx; secundus annus 14 cycli solaris; xvii. annus cycli lunaris; xiii. annus 15 Indictionis..
LC1270.1Sligech was burned by O'Domhnaill and 16 the Cenel-Conaill, and the son of Breallach-an-chairn 17 O'Maelbhrenainn was killed on this expedition.
LC1270.2A 18 great war and dissension arose between O'Conchobhair, 19 i.e. Aedh, the son of Fedhlim, and Walter Burk, i.e. 20 the Earl of Ulster; and neither the Foreigners nor 21 the Gaeidhel could reconcile them. The Earl assembled 22 the Foreigners of Erinn, together with the Justiciary, 23 when they all went on a great hosting into Connacht, 24 and proceeded to Ros-Comain the first night, and from 25 thence to Oilfinn the second night, and from thence to 26 Port-leice; and they rested and encamped that night 27 at Port-leice. And on the morrow they held a council, 28 and the resolution they adopted was; viz., that the 29 Earl and the chiefs of the Foreigners of Erinn should 30 then go eastwards across the Sionainn at Ath-caradh-Conaill. 31 As regards the king of Connacht, however, 32 i.e. Aedh, son of Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, he was p.465 1 in Magh-Nisse, before the Foreigners, with a few of the 2 chiefs of his people; and the Justiciary, accompanied 3 by a small number of the army, remained on the 4 western side of the Sionainn, awaiting the Earl and 5 his people. With regard to the Earl, after he had 6 gone eastwards past Ath-caradh-Conaill a few of O'Conchobhair's 7 people opposed them at Coillte-Conmaicne, 8 where a small number of the army of Foreigners were 9 slain. Nevertheless, the Foreigners desisted not from 10 the career and expedition in which they were engaged 11 until they reached Magh-Nissi, where they rested and 12 encamped that night. As to the Foreigners, moreover, 13 the advice they gave to the Earl was, to make peace 14 with O'Conchobhair on this occasion, and to deliver 15 his brother, i.e. William Og, son of Richard Mór, son of 16 William the Conqueror, into the hands of O'Conchobhair's 17 people whilst he O'Conchobhair should be 18 in the Earl's house arranging the peace. And this was 19 accordingly done. And after William Og had gone into 20 O'Conchobhair's house, O'Conchobhair's people took him 21 prisoner; and John Duilefin and his son were slain 22 on the spot. When the Earl, moreover, heard that 23 treachery had been practised against his brother, he 24 proceeded early on the morrow to Ath-an-chipon the 25 Sionainn. And O'Conchobhair was during these two 26 nights marching round them, as a furious, raging, tearing 27 lion goes about his enemies when killing them, so that 28 he permitted them neither to eat, sleep, nor be at rest. 29 O'Conchobhair moved on the same day. As regards 30 the Foreigners, moreover, after going to the ford on the 31 morrow Toirdhelbhach O'Briain overtook them, and 32 the Earl himself turned on him, and slew him without 33 assistance from any other person. With regard to the p.467 1 Connachtmen, however, they came up with them the 2 Foreigners at this time, when their rear was dislodged, 3 and their van was routed. In short, their courage was 4 confounded in this place, and nine of their principal 5 knights were slain on the spot, including Richard-na-Coille 6 and John Butler; and it is not known how many 7 more were lost there; and one hundred horses, with 8 their mail coverings, and with their saddles, were left 9 there; and William Og was killed in his captivity immediately 10 after the son of O'Briain had been slain by the 11 Earl. As regards Aedh O'Conchobhair's subsequent 12 proceedings, he demolished the castle of Ath-Anghaile, 13 and the castle of Sliabh-Lugha, and the castle of Cill-Calmáin, 14 and burned Ros-Comáin, and Rinn-dúin, and 15 Uille-Uanach. And a great war arose between Brian 16 Ruadh O'Briain and the Foreigners, and great depredations 17 were committed by him on them, and the 18 castle of Clár-Atha-dha-charadh was taken by him. 19 Depredations were committed by the Earl, and by the 20 Foreigners of Connacht, in Tir-Oililla, on the people of 21 Aedh O'Conchobhair; and David Cuisín was slain on 22 this foray.

LC1309.017 The kalends of January on Wednesday, and the twelfth 18 of the moon; A.D. M.ccc.ix; xiii. anno cycli solaris; xviii. 19 anno cycli lunaris; vii. anno Indictionis.
LC1309.1Aedh, son of 20 Eoghan, son of Ruaidhri, son of Aedh, son of Cathal 21 Crobhderg, king of Connacht—and one fit to be king of 22 Erinn and other lands for nobility, and bounty, and 23 prowess, for figure and comeliness—was slain by Aedh 24 Breifnech, son of Cathal Ruadh O'Conchobhair, in Coill-in-chlachain 25 in the territory of Breifne; and many more 26 of the nobles of Connacht were slain along with him, 27 viz., Conchobhar Mac Diarmada, and Diarmaid Ruadh, 28 son of Tadhg, son of Andrias O'Conchobhair; and Diarmaid, 29 son of Cathal Carrach Mac Diarmada; and Aedh, 30 son of Muirchertach, son of Tadhg, son of Maelruanaidh; p.547 1 and Diarmaid Og O'hElidhe, a wealthy, generous, dignified 2 prince-farmer, and Maeldomhnaigh Galloglaech; 3 and Gilla-na-naemh Mac Aedhagain, chief professor of 4 Connacht in law, and a man equally eminent in all other 5 sciences, fell by the eastern party on the same day, 6 and Foghartach O'Dobhailen by the household band of 7 Tomaltach Mac Donnchadha; and many other persons 8 fell along with these. And the loss on both sides was not 9 less than one hundred. Aedh Breifnech came into the 10 district afterwards, and the 'Three Tuatha' went into 11 his house.
LC1309.212 As regards Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada, king of 13 Magh-Luirg, he came, surrounded by his household 14 troops and heavy muster, into the very middle of Síl-Muiredhaigh, 15 to defend the sovereignty and supremacy 16 for his foster-son, i.e., for Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, and 17 sent messengers to his friends on every side, both 18 Foreigners and Gaeidhel, and unto William Burk and his 19 brothers, who came quickly on receiving the message. 20 And he Maelruanaidh encamped strongly, ever powerfully, 21 on the plain of Magh-Ai, before Rath-Cruachan, 22 amidst the inhabitants of the country, to conciliate them, 23 for fear and terror lest these tribes should unite with Aedh 24 Breifnech, son of Cathal O'Conchobhair; and he himself 25 received the government of the chieftains, and the 26 submission of the sub-chieftains. And he exacted his 27 rents, and his stipulations, and his tributes; and he exacted, 28 moreover, the family and princely jewels of the 29 king of Connacht, with all his dues both small and great. 30 And the Síl-Muiredhaigh all pledged their engagement p.549 1 and oaths that they would not give the sovereignty to 2 any other person but to him alone. Maelruanaidh and 3 William Burk went to Oilfinn, together with the Síl-Muiredhaigh.
LC1309.34 As to Aedh, son of Cathal, however, he 5 went to meet the Earl in Midhe, and the Tuatha at once 6 turned against him when he had left. After Aedh Breifnech 7 came out of Midhe, he encamped in Uachtar-thire, 8 and subsequently took a great prey from Aedh O'Flannagain, 9 and consumed this prey in Uachtar-thire.

LC1310.03 The kalends of January on Thursday, and the twenty-third 4 of the moon; A.D. M.ccc.x; xiiii. anno cycli solaris; 5 xix. anni cycli lunaris; octavo anno Indictionis.
LC1310.1Tanaidhe 6 Mór O'Maelchonaire, chief professor of Síl-Muiredhaigh-Muillethain 7 in poetry and history, died in the 8 beginning of this year, in the hard spring. A great 9 depredation, which was usually called Crech-in-tóiten, 10 was committed by Aedh Breifnech, son of Cathal O'Conchobhair, 11 on Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada, in Clochar-Uí-Muirghile; 12 and Donnchadh, son of Donnchadh Mac 13 Diarmada, was taken prisoner there, and his wife, i.e. 14 the daughter of O'Flannagain, was killed there; and 15 several other women, children, and men, were killed and 16 burned there; and they the depredators established 17 themselves in Uachtar-thire, to watch Mac Diarmada. 18 When William Burk heard this thing he encamped at 19 Cill-Lommad, in front of Aedh, son of Cathal. Then 20 it was that Aedh, son of Cathal, secretly sent messengers 21 to his brother, i.e. Ruaidhri son of Cathal, desiring 22 him to proceed with a band and go to the castle of 23 Bun-finne, which William Burk had left. As regards 24 Ruaidhri son of Cathal, moreover, and Aedh, son of 25 Maghnus, and Aedh Breifnech's people, they all mustered, 26 and plundered and burned the Castle of Bun-finne, 27 with all its contents. As to Aedh, son of Cathal, he 28 had at that time by him some buannadha belonging 29 to a defensive band who were protecting him; and p.553 1 Seonac Mac Uighilinn was the commander of this 2 defensive band. Nevertheless, when he observed the 3 son of O'Conchobhair quite alone, after his people had 4 departed from him when they went away from him on 5 the expedition to Bun-finne, he armed himself, together 6 with his people, and attacked the son of O'Conchobhair, 7 against whom he had previously conspired, (i.e. 8 after he had promised to slay him, at the instigation 9 of William Burk, in consideration of a reward); and 10 he then slew Aedh Breifnech, son of Cathal Ruadh 11 O'Conchobhair, as he had before that promised to 12 William Burk. And this Aedh Breifnech O'Conchobhair 13 was the best qualified to be king that was in 14 Erinn in his own time, if it had pleased God to allow 15 it. As soon as the news of the murder of Aedh 16 Breifnech, moreover, reached to William Burk, and to 17 Mac Diarmada, and to the Síl-Muiredhaigh also, to Cill-Lomad, 18 they immediately proceeded on preying expeditions 19 to Aedh Breifnech's people, and sent their 20 bands to Bennan-Brechmhaighe northwards, and to Magh-Cetne 21 of the Fomorians. William afterwards returns 22 back into the midst of the Síl-Muiredhaigh, and 23 quarters two hundred mercenaries upon them, viz.:— 24 Mac Uighilin with his rout; and there was not a town 25 in all Síl-Muiredhaigh without habitual bonaght, nor 26 a district without exaction, nor a prince without oppression, 27 during William Burk's rule over them after 28 the death of Aedh. When, however, Maelruanaidh Mac 29 Diarmada observed his foster-son ignored regarding his 30 inheritance, and the heavy exactions levied from every 31 district around him, he felt strongly that the Foreigners 32 were limiting and restricting him to little power; for 33 the Foreigners were convinced that if he alone were 34 weak the entire province of Connacht would be under 35 their sway. The resolution adopted by the hero, therefore, 36 was to elevate his foster-son over all on this occasion, p.555 1 and forcibly to make him king, without much 2 delay. And he took him with him upon Carn-Fraich-mhic-Fidhaigh, 3 and inaugurated him on the carn according 4 to the practice of the saints, and of Dachonna of 5 Es in particular, in the most regal, most illustrious, and 6 fullest manner that any man of his own family had been 7 inaugurated from the time of Brian, son of Eochaidh 8 Muidhmhedhoin, down to that day. After Fedhlim, 9 son of Aedh, son of Eoghan, had espoused the province 10 of Connacht, moreover, his guardian ministered to him 11 that night in accordance with the traditions of the old 12 men, and the old books; and this was the most regal, 13 and most illustrious wedding feast of a king that had 14 ever been made for a king of Connacht until that day.

LC1315.021 The kalends of January on Wednesday, and the 22 eighteenth of the moon; anno Domini M.ccc.xv; v. 23 annus cycli lunaris; xiii. Indictionis.
LC1315.1Edward, son of the 24 Earl of Alba, (i.e. this Edward was the son of Robert 25 Bruce, and Earl of Carrick), came to Erinn, on the coast 26 of Uladh in the north, with a fleet of 300 ships, and his 27 valorous and warlike fame confounded and terrified the 28 people of all Erinn in general, both Foreigners and Gaeidhel. 29 And he plundered, moreover, the principal part of Uladh, p.565 1 and burned Rath-mor of Magh-Line and Dun-Delgan, and 2 killed their people; and he afterwards burned Ath-Fhirdiadh-mic-Damhain.
LC1315.23 In fine, he obtained the hostages and 4 sovereignty of all the province of Uladh without opposition, 5 and consented to be proclaimed as king of Erinn. And 6 the Gaeidhel of Erinn agreed to give him their sovereignty, 7 and proclaimed him king of Erinn.
LC1315.3When Richard Burk, 8 i.e. the Earl of Ulster, heard that Edward was advancing 9 towards him, he assembled large armies from every direction 10 to meet him at Ros-Comain, in the first place; and he 11 proceeded from thence to Ath-Luain, and along Midhe and 12 Magh-Bregh. And Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht, 13 was along with him on this hosting. And the number 14 of his army was about twenty battalions. However, the 15 Foreigners on this expedition spared neither saint nor 16 asylum, however sacred, nor territory, nor termon, without 17 wasting and completely destroying, throughout the extent 18 of Erinn from the Sinainn in the south to Cul-Rathain in 19 the north, and to Inis-Eoghain. And when this great multitudinous 20 army came together into Bregh, they saw Edmond 21 Butler, i.e. the Justiciary of Erinn, coming to join them, 22 having on the occasion thirty battalions well united and 23 counted.
LC1315.4Nevertheless, the Earl prevented him from 24 going in his own procession or assemblage, for he considered 25 that he himself, together with his army, could expel 26 Edward and the men of Alba from Erinn. The Earl was 27 that night at Ath-Fhirdiadh, by the side of Sliabh-Bregh, 28 and Edward Bruce, with his Ulidians and men of Alba, at 29 Inis-Cain-mic-Deghaidh. The Earl went on the morrow in 30 pursuit of them, and occupied a place of rest and encampment 31 at Lugh-mhagh; and William Burk went, moreover, 32 to obtain an advantage over Edward Bruce and the men of 33 Alba, and a few persons were slain between them in 34 an encounter.
LC1315.5As regards Edward and his forces, however, 35 he advanced, through the persuasion of O'Neill and 36 the other Ulidians, and proceeded on the morrow, by p.567 1 regular marches, northwards to Cul-Rathain, and to the 2 border of Inis-Eoghain; and they broke down the bridge 3 of Cul-Rathain before the Earl. The Earl follows them, and 4 encamps at Cul-Rathain in front of the Ulidians and 5 Edward, about the river, so that both parties left neither 6 wood nor plain, nor field, nor corn crop, nor residence, nor 7 barn, nor church, without burning and wholly destroying; 8 for these armies were not able to encounter or fight with 9 each other, as the rapid, fierce, deep Bann was separating 10 them. Nevertheless, severe skirmishes occurred between 11 them on one side and the other, about the river, each day.
LC1315.612 When Edward Bruce heard of the excellence of Fedhlim 13 O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht, he sent secret messages 14 to him, offering him undivided power over Connacht, 15 if he would steal away from the Earl to defend his own 16 province. Fedhlim listened patiently to these words, 17 and agreed with Edward on that occasion. With regard 18 to Ruaidhri, son of Cathal Ruadh O'Conchobhair, when 19 he perceived that Connacht had been evacuated he proceeded, 20 accompanied by a few, eastwards through the 21 middle of Cenel-Conaill to Cul-Rathain to converse with 22 Edward; and he promised Edward that he would expel 23 the Foreigners from the government of Connacht; and 24 Edward subsequently consented that he might make war 25 on the Foreigners, but that he should not commit spoliation 26 or robbery on Fedhlim, or go into his land.
LC1315.7This was 27 not what Ruaidhri did, however; but he assembled the men 28 of Connacht and Breifne, and numerous gallowglasses along 29 with them, and proceeded right into the middle of Síl-Muiredhaigh, 30 and of Connacht likewise, and immediately 31 burned the street-town of Sligech, and Ath-cliath-in-Chorainn, 32 and the great castle of Cill-Comain, and Baile-tobair-Brighde, 33 and Dun-Iomdhain with its castles, and 34 Ros-Comain, and Rinn-duin, and the town of Ath-Luain, 35 together with all the houses that were in every route 36 through which he passed. And he afterwards claimed p.569 1 sway and sovereignty over Mac Diarmada, but obtained 2 neither pledge nor hostage from him; and he took the 3 pledges and hostages of all Síl-Muiredhaigh; and they 4 also subsequently inaugurated him on Carn-Fraich; and 5 he thus remained amongst the Síl-Muiredhaigh during 6 a space and period, wasting and impoverishing such of 7 the neighbours around him as were not obedient to 8 him, and also awaiting the return of Fedhlim and the 9 army that was in Uladh with him.
LC1315.8As to Fedhlim 10 O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht, when he heard that 11 Ruaidhri was on his way back to Connacht, to contest 12 the sovereignty for himself, and understood how it 13 fared with him on his journey, he told the Earl that 14 Ruaidhri would make war in his land in his absence; 15 and he earnestly besought the Earl to return with him 16 to Connacht, to defend it.
LC1315.9p.571Nevertheless, he did not 17 find the ways before him quiet, for not a day passed 18 without a depredation or battle, in his passage through 19 Uladh and Oirghiall, until he came to Granard, and to 20 Coill-na-namus, to the people of John O'Ferghail, i.e.. his 21 mother's brother, where his men were reduced in number. 22 After their spoils had been taken away from them 23 by the army, he permitted his chieftains and princes who 24 were along with him on this northern expedition to go 25 to their own homes, and submit themselves to the sovereignty 26 of Ruaidhri, rather than they should be wanderers 27 with him, “for if I am again powerful,” said he, “you 28 shall be with me. Nevertheless, as my guardian and 29 Ruaidhri cannot be reconciled with each other on this 30 occasion, we shall both act together during the period of 31 our war.”
LC1315.101 With regard to the Earl and William Burk, and the 2 other Foreigners, when they saw Fedhlim not assisting 3 them, and their own army dispersed, they turned back 4 from Cul-Rathain to the castle of Condere. As soon as 5 the Ultonians and men of Alba observed this, they 6 quickly followed the Earl to Condere; and on their 7 meeting to give battle to one another, William Burk 8 with his knights, and the two sons of Mac-an-mhilidh, 9 were taken prisoners there, and the Earl himself fled 10 without delay, by regular marches, from thence until he 11 arrived in Connacht. His Foreign friends on every side 12 approached the Earl on his arrival, in the hope that the 13 Earl would relieve or help them from oppression; and 14 his Gaeidhelic friends came then together into his house 15 in like manner. And these were the best who came 16 there, viz., Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht, 17 and Muirchertach O'Briain, king of Tuadh-Mumha, and 18 Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada, king of Muinter-Maelruanaidh, 19 and Gilbert O'Cellaigh, king of Uí-Maine—all 20 of whom had been expelled from the entire district. And 21 when Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada observed the great 22 number of deposed and expelled persons assembled in 23 the same house, he was seized with shame, and he vowed 24 that he would not again be reckoned in any house as one 25 deposed or expelled, but that he would go by his own efforts 26 into his country as opportunity should offer. And he went 27 into the presence of Tadhg O'Cellaigh; and Tadhg concluded 28 a semblance of peace on his part with Ruaidhri, 29 for his inheritance, on condition that he should 30 give hostages to Ruaidhri, son of Cathal. Aedh Ballach, son of 31 Maghnus, son of Conchobhar Ruadh son of Muirchertach 32 Muimhnech, was slain in treachery by Cathal, son of 33 Domhnall O'Conchobhair; and Aedh son of Art, and Diarmaid, 34 son of Simon-na-tr´gha, were also slain by them in p.573 1 revenge for their father having been killed by Diarmaid.
LC1315.112 Great depredations were committed by the sons of Domhnall 3 on Clann-Muirchertaigh on the morrow, and Maghnus 4 son of Maghnus, and Domhnall, son of Maghnus, were slain 5 by the sons of Domhnall whilst pursuing this prey; and 6 Tomaltach Mac Donnchadha was furthermore taken 7 prisoner by the same band, who went under the protection 8 of the Foreigners after having committed these deeds. 9 As soon as Fedhlim O'Conchobhair heard of these great 10 exploits, he went with a few of his own confidants to 11 where the sons of Domhnall O'Conchobhair were, viz., 12 Ruaidhri and Maghnus, Cathal and Muirchertach, 13 Donnchadh and John, viz. the sons of Domhnall, son 14 of Tadhg O'Conchobhair, together with their other 15 brethren. When Fedhlim succeeded in joining them, subsequently, 16 he immediately committed a great depredation 17 on Brian O'Dubhda; and he committed a great depredation, 18 in Airtech, on Diarmaid Gall Mac Diarmada, and 19 killed a great number of his people, and burned his corn 20 fields and many houses; and he committed another great 21 depredation on the sons of Cathal O'Flannagain. The 22 place whither this prey was conducted was to Coraidh-Chúla-Cuirc; 23 and it could not be driven owing to the 24 softness of the bog, the extent of the prey, and the 25 strength and heavy number of the pursuing band; for 26 the majority of the recruits of the Tuatha, and the forces 27 of the sons of Cathal O'Flannagain, and Mathghamhain 28 Mag Raghnaill, chieftain of Muinter-Eolais, with his 29 kinsmen and muster, overtook it.
LC1315.12When Mac Diarmada, 30 however, heard the noise and clamour of the prey going 31 towards the weir, he followed the track of the prey to 32 Culbháthar; and when he observed the prey divided 33 and detained, (for they liked not that it should not be p.575 1 left with its owners), he afterwards looked furiously, 2 angrily at his enemies, and heaped reproach and insult 3 on them, though there were then but few in his own 4 company, even though he saw the broad, flaming, immense 5 phalanx which was ready to repulse his attack. In fine, 6 Conchobhar Ruadh, son of Aedh Breifnech O'Conchobhair, 7 and Mathghamhain Mac Raghnaill, chieftain of 8 Muinter-Eolais, and O'Maelmhiadhaigh, dux of Muinter-Cerbhalláin, 9 and a great number of the nobles of Muinter-Eolais 10 along with them, were slain on the spot; and he 11 Mac Diarmada defeated all the other bands that 12 were there detaining his spoils from Fedhlim, and carried 13 off the prey himself afterwards, and restored it not to its 14 owners. And he came that night to Buill, and proceeded 15 on the morrow across Seghais to the north-west, and 16 from thence through Cul-O'Fhinn, and through the Corann, 17 and into the territory of Luighne, where Fedhlim, with 18 his forces, was awaiting them. As regards Ruaidhri, son 19 of Cathal O'Conchobhair, however, when he heard that 20 these great depredations and prodigious exploits had been 21 committed by Mac Diarmada, who had allied himself 22 with his foster-son, he himself made an expeditious 23 muster, and established a camp in Baile-mór-O'Floinn, 24 and profaned the church, i.e. Es-Daconna, and the monks 25 of the Buill likewise, respecting cattle and corn. And 26 Tomaltach, son of Muirghes, son of Donnchadh, son of 27 Tomaltach, with his tribe and people, went also to Fedhlim.
LC1315.1328 It was then that Diarmaid Gall went upon Cruachan, 29 and was proclaimed king. Tadhg O'Cellaigh came then, 30 moreover, to the assistance of Ruaidhri, son of Cathal, and 31 to enforce his guarantee on Mac Diarmada, who had p.577 1 violated his covenant with Ruaidhri; and they both 2 went in pursuit of Fedhlim and Mac Diarmada, and the 3 tribes that were with them, to Letir-Luighne and the 4 slopes of Sliabh-Gamh, and to Glenn-Fathroimh in particular, 5 where they killed many thousand cows, and 6 sheep, and horses; and they stripped gentlewomen, and 7 destroyed small children and little ones, on this journey; 8 and never during the memory of the people was so much 9 cattle uselessly destroyed in one spot. With regard to 10 Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada, when he heard that Diarmaid 11 Gall had sat in the chair of honour of his family, 12 i.e. in the Rock of Loch-Cé, and had gone upon Cruachan 13 to be made king, and that all his own cows had been 14 slaughtered in Glenn-Fathroimh, he advanced with his 15 own retainers and household band to Caladh-na-Cairge; 16 and he turned his back to the Sinainn, and plundered 17 from the Sinainn to Caraidh-Cúla-Cuirc, where the 18 tribes of the three Ciarraidhe were, viz. Ciarraidhe-iartharach, 19 and Ciarraidhe-Mhaighe, and Ciarraidhe-Airtigh, 20 with all their flocks and cattle; and it is not 21 likely that there was made in that time an incursion more 22 valorous, and more energetic, and more rich in spoils 23 than this foray, for the province was entirely convulsed. 24 And the wife of Diarmaid Gall was, moreover, 25 taken captive in this foray, together with a few of her 26 female attendants; and Diarmaid never enjoyed quiet 27 or happiness after these spoliations.
LC1315.14It was reported to 28 Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, and to his guardian, however, 29 that there were cows in Magh-Luirg after this depredation, 30 and they proceeded to seek for them a second time, 31 and left neither horse nor cow in a place of security, 32 or hiding-place, in it. And they sought for Diarmaid p.579 1 Gall, but he got notice of their coming on this occasion; 2 and it was of no use to him, for, though great his force and 3 muster before them, they left neither horse nor man; and 4 Magh-Luirg was an empty waste after these depredations. 5 There was, moreover, neither defence nor protection in 6 district or termon in all Magh-Luirg and Magh-Ai; but 7 the flocks, cattle, and corn, and the cloths taken from 8 off the altars, were given as wages to gallowglasses and 9 mercenaries.
LC1315.15The town of Dún-moacute;r was burned by 10 Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair in hoc anno.
LC1315.16Echdruim-Uí-Maine 11 was burned, and its castle thrown down.
LC1315.17The cantred of 12 Maenmagh was plundered and burned by Tadhg O'Cellaigh.
LC1315.1813 Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, and Mac Diarmada, and 14 Tomaltach Mac Donnchadha, and the sons of Domhnall 15 O'Conchobhair joined the Foreigners of the West of Connacht; 16 and Tir-Enna, and Tir-Nechtain, and Muinter-Creacháin, 17 and Conmaicne-Dúna-móir were destroyed, 18 both wilfully and unwilfully.
LC1315.19Richard Burk, i.e. the Earl 19 of Ulster, was a wanderer throughout Erinn, without 20 sway or power, during this year.
LC1315.20Numerous wonderful 21 diseases throughout all Erinn this year, viz., a destruction 22 of people in great number occurred in it, and famine, and 23 various distempers. Slayings of people, and intolerable, 24 destructive bad weather also happened in it.
LC1315.2125 Aedh O'Domhnaill, king of Tir-Conaill, came into Cairbre, and 26 all the territory of Cairbre was destroyed by him through 27 the counsel of his wife, i.e. the daughter of Maghnus 28 O'Conchobhair; and she herself, together with all she found 29 of the gallowglasses and the Clann-Muirchertaigh, attacked 30 the churches of Druim-cliabh, where several of the clerics 31 and comarbs of Druim-cliabh were plundered by her, 32 in hoc anno.
LC1315.22The castle of Sligech was thrown down 33 by O'Domhnaill on this expedition; and great spoils 34 were found there by them.

- Many of the men of Erin all, around the great plain—
Many sons of kings, whom I name not, were slain in the great defeat:
Sorrowful to my heart is the conflict of the host of Midhe and Mumha.
LC1316.06 The kalends of January on Thursday, and the twenty-ninth 7 of the moon; anno Domini M.ccc.xvi; sexto anno 8 cycli lunaris; xiiii. Indictionis; xx. anno cycli solaris.
LC1316.19 Aedh O'Domhnaill and all the Cenel-Conaill mustered a 10 large army; and they came again into Cairbre, and went 11 to Caislen-Conchobhair on this occasion; and Ruaidhri, 12 son of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, separated from his own 13 brothers, and made peace with O'Domhnaill, and gave 14 him the lordship of Cairbre. And Derbhorgaill, daughter 15 of Maghnus O'Conchobhair, retained a band of gallowglasses, 16 and gave them a reward for the killing of Ruaidhri, 17 son of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, who was subsequently 18 slain by them in violation of the relics of Tir-Conaill, 19 which had previously been pledged to him; and great 20 depredations were committed by the Cenel-Conaill on 21 the inhabitants of the district of Cairbre.
LC1316.231 A depredation 22 by Fedhlim O'Conchobhair on the sons of the Failghech, 23 when Richard himself was taken prisoner, and a slaughter 24 of his people was committed. Fedhlim afterwards assembled 25 a great army of Foreigners and Gaeidhel, including 26 Mac Feorais, and Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada, and the 27 sons of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, to contest the sovereignty 28 with Ruaidhri, son of Cathal; and they advanced 29 together towards Síl-Muiredhaigh. This was reported to 30 Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht, who was 31 then encamped on Mullach-Fidhig in Clann-Conmhaigh, p.583 1 observing Fedhlim's proceedings. Then it was that 2 they perceived Fedhlim advancing towards them vigorously, 3 fiercely, at the head of his retainers, accompanied 4 by Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada with his own kindred 5 and followers. And the sons of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, 6 and the sons of Donnchadh, son of Tomaltach, together 7 with the Foreigners of the West of Connacht, were also 8 there, in his advance and muster towards Tóchar-móna-Coinnedha. 9 The Connachtmen were on the other side, 10 including Ruaidhri, son of Cathal O'Conchobhair, king 11 of Connacht, and Diarmaid Gall Mac Diarmada, king of 12 Magh-Luirg at that time, and the other men of Connacht. 13 And they all faced one another on the bog of the 14 causeway, and then delivered a fierce, sudden battle 15 to each other. The superior number of the hands and 16 weapons, however, together with the mail-armour of the 17 Foreigners, vanquished Ruaidhri, so that the king of Connacht, 18 Ruaidhri, son of Cathal—i.e. the head of the valour 19 and bravery of the Gaeidhel, and the extirpator of pirates 20 and bandits, and the expeller of foreigners and stranger-tribes 21 from Erinn—fell there; and there fell along with 22 him there Diarmaid Gall Mac Diarmada, king of Magh-Luirg, 23 and Cormac Mac Cethernaigh, king of Ciarraighe, 24 and Gilla-Christ Mac Diarmada, and Diarmaid, son of 25 Ferghal Mac Diarmada, and Connegán Mac Connegán, 26 and Domhnall Mac Connegán, and Donnchadh son 27 of Ruaidhri, and one hundred gallowglasses along with them, 28 et alii multi nobiles et ignobiles. Of the other side, 29 Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada, and Domhnall O'Baighill, 30 and Robuc Mac Feorais, were wounded there. On the 31 7th of the kalends of March these deeds were done.
LC1316.332 Fedhlim afterwards plundered the favorites of Ruaidhri 33 O'Conchobhair, and then assumed himself the sovereignty p.585 1 of Connacht from Es-Ruaidh to Echtghe. And he seized 2 the territory of the Uí-Briuin-Breifne, and took choice 3 hostages from them, and made Ualgharg O'Ruairc king 4 over them; and he took the hostages of Clann-Cellaigh, 5 and O'Madadhain, and Uí-Diarmada, and O'hEghra, and 6 O'Dubhda. And he afterwards went to expel the Foreigners 7 of the West of Connacht; and Baile-Atha-lethain was 8 burned by him, and Stephen de Exeter, and Miles Cogan, 9 and William Prendergast, and John Staunton, were slain 10 there, (viz., these were noble knights); and William Laighleis 11 was slain there, and a countless multitude 2 [along with 12 them. And the entire country was plundered and burned 13 by him, from the castle of the Corran to Rodhba, both 14 church and territory; and he returned home afterwards 15 with gladness, and with great spoils. And they went forthwith 16 to Milic-na-Sinda, to meet the people of Leth-Modha; 17 and he burned and demolished the castle of Milic; and 18 Muirchertach O'Briain, king of Tuadh-Mumha, went into 19 his house there, the descendants of Brian Ruadh being 20 opposed to each other. And he turned back to Ros-Comain, 21 to demolish it. And when Fedhlim heard that 22 William Burk had arrived in Connacht from Alba, he 23 commanded a muster of his people to one place, to expel 24 him. And this was the muster that came there, viz., all 25 from Es-Ruaidh to Echtghe. And Donnchadh O'Briain, 26 king of Tuadh-Mumha, came in his following and 27 muster; and O'Maelechlainn, king of Midhe; and 28 O'Ruairc, king of Breifne; and O'Ferghail, king of Conmaicne; 29 and Tadhg O'Cellaigh, king of Uí-Maine, and 30 many more of the sons of kings and chieftains of Erinn, p.587 1 came in his muster. And they all went to Ath-na-righ, 2 against William Burk, Mac Feorais, and the other 3 Foreigners of Connacht; and a battle was fought between 4 them at the door of the town, and the Gaeidhel were 5 defeated there, and Feidlilimidh O'Conchobhair, king of 6 Connacht, and undisputed heir presumptive to the 7 sovereignty of Erinn, was slain there, and Tadhg 8 O'Cellaigh, king of Uí-Maine, and twenty-eight persons 9 entitled to the sovereignty of Uí-Maine, fell there along 10 with him; and Maghnus, son of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, 11 tanist of Connacht; and Art O'hEghra, king of Luighne; 12 and Maelechlainn Carrach O'Dubhda and Muirchertach, 13 son of Conchobhar O'Dubhda; and Conchobhar Og 14 O'Dubhda; and Diarmaid Mac Diarmada, who was fit to 15 be king of Magh-Luirg; and Muirchertach, son of Taichlech 16 Mac Diarmada; and Muirchertach, son of Diarmaid, 17 son of Ferghal; and Maelechlainn Og Mac Maghnusa; 18 and John, son of Murchadh O'Madadhain; and Domhnall, 19 son of Aedh O'Concennainn, king of Uí-Diarmada, and 20 his brother Muirchertach along with him; and Murchadh 21 O'Madadhain; and Domhnall O'Baighill; and 22 Donnchadh O'Maelmhuaidh, together with his people; 23 and the son of Murchadh Mac Mathghamhna, and one 24 hundred of his people along with him; and Niall Sinnach, 25 king of Feara-Tethbha, with his people; and Ferghal, son 26 of John Gallda O'Ferghail; and William, son of Aedh Og 27 O'Ferghail; and Thomas, son of Amhlaibh O'Ferghail. 28 And five of the Clann-Donnchaidh were also slain there, 29 viz.

And not alone this; but it is not 3 easy to tell all that were then slain of Momonians and 4 Meathians, and of the men of Erinn likewise, ut dixit the 5 poet:
11 On the day of St. Laurence the martyr these deeds were 12 committed; and Fedhlimidh was twenty-three years old 13 when slain; and he had been five years in the sovereignty of 14 Connacht when Ruaidhri, son of Cathal Ruadh, assumed it 15 in opposition to him during the space of half a year; and 16 he was another half year after Ruaidhri in the sovereignty 17 until he was slain in this battle of Ath-na-righ.LC1316.4Ruaidhri-na-fedh, 18 son of Donnchadh, son of Eoghan, son of Ruaidhri 19 O'Conchobhair, was afterwards made king.
LC1316.5A prodigious 20 hosting by William Burk afterwards into Síl-Muiredhaigh, 21 and O'Conchobhair and all the Síl-Muiredhaigh 22 made peace with him, except Mac Diarmada alone. 23 He afterwards went into Magh-Luirg, and brought great 24 preys with him from Ath-in-chip and from Uachtar-tire; 25 and the entire country was burned and destroyed by 26 them; and they went away without battle or conditions. 27 Ruaidhri, son of Donnchadh, was subsequently deposed 28 from the sovereignty by Mac Diarmada, after having been 29 a quarter and a half in it.

LC1342.028 The kalends of January on Tuesday, and the 17th 29 of the moon; anno Domini M. ccc. xl. secundo; xiii. 30 anno cycli lunaris; x. anno Indictionis; xviii. cycli 31 solaris.
LC1342.1The Gilla-dubh Mac Uidhir was drowned on 32 Loch-Erne, in the rear of a predatory party.
LC1342.2A great p.637 1 war broke out between Toirdhelbhach O'Conchobhair, 2 king of Connacht, and Conchobhar Mac Diarmada, king 3 of Magh-Luirg; and Edmond Burk and Aedh, son of 4 Fedhlimidh O'Conchobhair, and Donnchadh O'Birn, dux 5 of Tir-Briuin-na-Sinna, sided with Mac Diarmada; and 6 O'Birn drove O'Conchobhair into the church of Oilfinn, 7 after he had gone to obtain pledges for a depredation 8 which the Muinter-Birn committed previously on Hubert 9 Burk; and some of O'Conchobhair's gallowglasses were 10 slain by them, including the constable, i.e. Mac Ruaidhri.
LC1342.311 A general war, and great enmity, grew in all Connacht 12 at that time, and the Clann-Muirchertaigh, with Aedh 13 son of Aedh Breifnech, and with Cathal son of Aedh 14 Breifnech, and with Tadhg son of Ruaidhri, sided with 15 all those at first; and a great quantity of the corn 16 of the country was destroyed by them.
LC1342.4An ugly act 17 of treachery was committed on the Clann-William-Burk, 18 at the instigation of O'Conchobhair, when Thomas 19 Burk was slain by the Clann-Maurice whilst in their 20 own assembly; and Seonin Burk was slain in the 21 same way by the Clann-Rickard. Cathal, son of Gilla-Christ 22 Mac Diarmada, was slain by Ferghal O'Taidhg in 23 the same war. Ferghal, son of Gilla-Christ Finn Mac 24 Cormaic was slain in the same war. A fierce overthrow 25 was given by Mac Diarmada and his princes to O'Conchobhair, 26 at Bel-atha-Slisen, where the ford was passed 27 in spite of him, and where Diarmaid, the son of Brian 28 O'Ferghail—i.e. the best man of all the Conmaicne of his 29 own age—and the son of Hubert Burk, and Conchobhar, 30 son of Donnchadh Dubh O'hElidhe, were slain.
LC1342.5John 31 Mac Mathghamhna, a man eminent for bounty and 32 prowess, king of Oirghiall, went on a predatory expedition 33 against Roalbh Mac Mathghamhna, and was p.639 1 slain, with his gallowglasses, in the rear of his band; 2 and as many of them were drowned as slain.
LC1342.6Cormac, 3 son of Ruaidhri, son of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, was 4 taken prisoner by Conchobhar, the son of Tadhg, and 5 by Ruaidhri, son of Cathal O'Conchobhair, in the same 6 year; and Conchobhar was taken prisoner by Brian, 7 the son of Ruaidhri, and delivered into the hands of 8 Conchobhar Mac Diarmada, who afterwards placed him 9 in the Rock to be imprisoned.
LC1342.7Domhnall O'Dochartaigh, 10 chieftain of Ard-Midhair, a man eminent for bounty, 11 prowess, charity, and humanity, died in his own house 12 in hoc anno, and John O'Dochartaigh assumed his place 13 after him.
LC1342.8The Síl-Muiredhaigh all, both willing and 14 unwilling, renounced the king of Connacht, i.e. Toirdhelbhach, 15 son of Aedh, son of Eoghan O'Conchobhair; 16 and the most distinguished who then opposed him 17 were Edmond Mac William Burk, and Conchobhar Mac 18 Diarmada, king of Magh-Luirg, with his brothers and 19 with all his people; and Aedh, son of Aedh Breifnech, 20 son of Cathal Ruadh O'Conchobhair; and Tadhg, son 21 of Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair; and Cathal, son of Aedh 22 Breifnech, son of Cathal Ruadh; and the armies of 23 Breifne and Conmaicne; and Aedh, the son of Fedhlimidh, 24 son of Aedh, son of Eoghan: and Toirdhelbhach 25 was sent out of the country by them all, which was 26 not surprising.
LC1342.9And the advice which his friends gave 27 him afterwards was to go at night to Mac Diarmada's 28 house. And the Clann-Muirchertaigh received intelligence 29 of this advice, and assembled before him on 30 the roads, and in the dangerous passes of the fortress; 31 but he went past all these in the dark night, 32 with two or three horsemen; and he was opposed on 33 the causeway of the fortress, but he passed through 34 them by the force of his strong hand, and wounded 35 Cathal, son of Aedh Breifnech. And Mac Diarmada p.641 1 knew not of this until he heard the tumult, the execration, 2 and lamentation throughout the fortress, when he 3 suddenly went, and found O'Conchobhair, with whom 4 he sent trusty persons to conduct him to the Rock. 5 And he remained in it the greater part of a week; and 6 the nobles of the country were wont to visit him each 7 day. And Mac Diarmada did not obtain leave to make 8 peace with him; and as he did not, he escorted him to 9 the castle of Ros-Comain, where he left him.

LC1342.15Aedh, the son of Aedh Breifnech, son of 18 Cathal Ruadh O'Conchobhair, was made king by the 19 Connachtmen and Mac William Burk, the first Monday 20 of the winter; and the tanistship of Connacht was given 21 to Aedh, the son of Fedhlimidh O'Conchobhair; and 22 Tir-Oilella was given to Ferghal Mac Diarmada, and 23 Tadhg, son of Tomaltach, son of Maurice Mac Donnchadha, 24 was expelled from his own country by Conchobhar Mac 25 Diarmada, and by his brethren; and Mac Donnchadha 26 joined Toirdhelbhach O'Conchobhair.
LC1342.1627 Conchobhar O'Domhnaill; king of Tir-Conaill, and one 28 worthy to rule all Erinn, if God had willed it, by reason 29 of his nobility, eminence, and the excellence of his 30 bounty and prowess, was slain by Niall O'Domhnaill, i.e. 31 his own father's son: (the house of Finn-ros was burned 32 over him, and O'Domhnaill went out of the house, 33 and fell afterwards in the doorway of his own house), p.643 1 after obtaining victory over the devil and the world; 2 and a great number of O'Domhnaill's household band 3 were moreover burned and killed there.
