Awful news that now disperses those ships of the sea that have
braved many dangers and perils,
That no longer lives the golden scion, the sage, the beloved, the famed
chieftain of Tuagh-inbhir'“.
Cearbhall, son of Muirigen, King of Leinster, was killed. In lamentation
of him was said : ‘
Great grief that Lifi'e of ships is without Cearbhall, its befitting spouse,
A generous, staid, prolific man, to whom Ireland was obedient.
Sorrowful to me the hills of Almhain and Ailleannu without soldiers,
Sorrowful to me is Carman, I do not conceal it, as grass is on its
roads.
Not long was his life after Cormac who was dishonoured,
A day and a half, no false rule, and one year, without addition.
Ruler of a noble kingdom, King of Leinster of the troops of heroes ;
Alas! that the lofty chief of Almhain has died through a bitter
painful way.
Sorrowful for brilliant jewels, to be without the valiant, illustrious
lord of Nas°.
Although dense hosts have been slain; greater than all their sorrows
is this sorrow. ‘
Of Cearbhall also : '

Cearbhall was always a conservator, his rule was vigorous till death;
What lay of his tributes unpaid, he brought by his strength to Nas.
Grormlaithp [said] :
Evil towards me the compliment of the two foreigners who slew Niall
and Cearbhall ; - ' .
Cearbhall [was slain] by Hulb, a great achievement; Niall Glundubh,
by Amhlaeibh. "
- " Gormlaith.—She was the daughter of Flann Leinster; and toNiall Glundubh, Monarch ofIre
Sinna, and had been married to Cormac Mac Cul- land. Several poems of considerable merit are at
lennan, King of Munster; to Cearbhall, King of tributed to this Gormlaith, which are still extant.

was made of the foreigners by the Munstermen. Anather n‘ slaughter was made
of the foreigners by the Eoghanachta, and by the Ciarraighi. The army of the \‘-~
Ui-Neill of the South and North was led by Niall, son of Aedh, King of Ireland,
to the men of Munster, to wage war with the foreigners. He pitched his camp
at Tobar-Glethrach', in Magh-Feimhin, on the 22nd of August. The foreigners
went into the territory on the same day. The Irish attacked them the third
hour before mid-day, so that one thousand one hundred men were slain between
them; but more of the foreigners fell, and they were defeated. There fell
here in the heat of the conflict the chief of Carraig-Brachaidhe, and Maelfinnen,
son of Donnagan, chief 6f Ui-Cearnaigh ; Fearghal, son of Muirigen, chief of
Ui-Creamhthainn ; and others besides them. Reinforcements set out from the
fortress of the foreigners to relieve their people. The Irish returned back to
their camp before [the arrival of] the last host, i. e. before [the arrival of]
Raghnall, king of the black foreigners, who had an army of foreigners with him.
Niall set out with a small force against the foreigners, so that God prevented
their slaughter through him. , Niall after this remained twenty nights encamped
against the foreigners. He requested of the Leinstermen to remain in siege
against the foreigners. [This they did, and continued the siege] until Sitric,
the grandson of Imhar, and the foreigners, gave the battle of Ceannfuait to the

Of the sons of queens and kings,

The strength of a brave lord was subdued.
Alas that he was deceived in the strength of an army,
There would [otherwise] be no moan upon the strand.
Fierce was the hard Wednesday !
In lamentation of Niall was moreover said :
Sorrowful this day is sacred Ireland,
Without a valiant chief of hostage reign;
It is to see the] heavens without a sun
To view Magh-Neillp without Niall.
There is no cheerfulness in the happiness of men ;
There is no peace or joy among the hosts ;
No fair can be celebrated
Since the sorrow of sorrow died.

This is a pity, O beloved Magh-Breagh,

Where the sun of every clash of arms ?

Niall said this before the battle :
Whoever wishes for a speckled boss, and a sword of sore-inflicting

wounds,
And a green javelin for wounding wretches, let him go early in the
morning to Ath-cliath.
Celedabhaill, son of Scannall, successor of Comhghall, and confessorr of Niall
Glundubh, was he who had requested of Niall to come to this battle ; and it
was he that gave the viaticum to Niall, after having refused to give him a horse
to carry him from the battle. Gormlaith‘, daughter of Flann, said :
Evil to me the compliment of the two foreigners who slew Niall

and Cearbhall; ‘
Cearbhall [was slain] by Hulb, a great deed ; Niall Glundubh by
Amhlaeibh.
Easter [day fell] on the 25th of April, and little Eastert in the summer.
This happened after three hundred and sixty-five years.
Easter in summer, marching of armies during three fully accom
plished years,
There was a red slaughter of the Gaelidhil in every path, through-‘

these marriages of Gormlaith must be incorrect, to his enemy, Cearbhall ; and, lastly, to Niall

and Ard-Macha was afterwards plundered by him and his army, on the Satur
day before St. Martin’s'festival ; but he spared the oratorics, with their Ceile
Des [Culdces], and the sick. The country was plundered by him in every
direction, i. e. westwards as far as Inis-Labhradhaq, eastwards as far as the Banna,
and northwards as far as Magh-Uillseann’. But, however, the host that went
northwards was overtaken by Muircheartach, son of Niall, and Aighneart, son
of Murchadh, so that the foreigners were defeated, a very great number of them
was slain; but a few escaped in the darkness of the very beginning of the
night, because they were not visible to them [the Irish]. A fleet of foreigners,
consisting of thirty-two ships, at Loch-Feabhail, under Olbh; and Inis-Eoghain‘
was plundered by them. Fearghal, son of Domhnall, lord of the North, was at
strife with them, so that he slew the crew of one of their ships, broke the ship
itself, and carried off its wealth and goods. Twenty ships more arrived at

To remain under holy rule in one place it is time.

A victory was gained at Tracht-Mughay, by Ruaidhri Ua Canannain’, over
the Cinel-Eoghain and the foreigners of Loch-Feabhail, where three hundred
of the Cinel-Eoghain and foreigners were slain, together with Maelruanaidh, son
of Flann, heir apparent of the North. Lorcan, son of Faelan, King of Leinster,
was slain by the Norsemen, as he was plundering Ath-cliath, after having first
defeated the foreigners, where many of them were slain byhim ; of which was
said :
Since the descendant of Breasal Breac“ has been slain,
A rapid brave king, subduer of princes,
From this day till the fierce and terrific day of judgment,
No Leinsterman shall march in his army.
Lorcan of Leinster in a wretched house,

Alas, the world has been filled with wailing,
It is trembling, it is weeping, it is battle.

If he wounded a hero, it is not joyous ;
He was a puissant Lugh to jump into the ford,
It is a stain for ever if he has been slain.

His last bloody victory was in the evening atAth-buidhe ;

Thirty revolving days from this until his death.
He lived but a month after this. Maelseachlainn Mor, son of Domhnall, son
of Donnchadh, pillar of the dignity and nobility of the west of the world, died
on Cro-inis Locha-Aininn", after having been forty-three years in sovereignty
over Ireland, according to the Book of Cluain-mic-Nois, which places the reign
of Brian, son of Kennedy, in the enumeration, at the end of nine years after
the battle of Cluain-tarbh, in the seventy-third year of his age, on the fourth of
the Nones of September, on Sunday1 precisely, after intense penance for his sins
and transgressions, after receiving the body of Christ and his blood, after being
anointed by the hands of Amhalghaidh, successor of Patrick, for he and the
successor of Colum Cille, and the successor of Ciaran, and most of the seniors
of Ireland, were present [at his death]; and they sung masses, hymn's', psalms,
and canticles, for the welfare of his soul. Sorrowful to the poor of the Lord
was the death of Maelseachlainn, as is evident from this quatrain:

made by Muircheartach Ua Neill into Mughdhorna, whence he carried a cattle
spoil and prisoners, in revenge of the profanation of the same bell. Ua h-Aedha,

the shrine of Patrick was burned. Cluain-mio-Nois was plundered by the Mun

gave satisfaction to the church, to wit, perfect freedom [of the church] to God
and to Ciaran till the day of judgment, and forty cows to be given by him
immediately; and he gave a curse to any one of the Munstermen that should
ever inflict any injury upon the clergy of Ciaran. Cluain-mic-Nois was plun
dered by the Conmhaicni, and God and Ciaran wreaked great vengeance upon
them for it, i. e. an unknown plague [was sent among them], so that the Booleysi
were left waste with their cattle after the death of all the [shepherd] people ;
after which the clergy of Ciaran received their own award [in atonement],

There is grief for a chief king at Ath-cliath,

Which will not be exceeded till the terrible Judgment Day ;
Empty is the fortress without the descendant of Duach‘,
Quickly was the vigour of its heroes cut down.
Sorrowful every party in the fortress
For their chief, against whom no army prevailed ;
Since the body of the king was hidden from all,
Every evil has showered ever constant.
For Murchadh, son of Diarmaid the impetuous,
Many a fervent prayer-is offered ;
In sorrow for the death of the chief is every host
That was wont to defeat in the battle,
Great the sorrow that he was not everlasting ;
Pity that death hath attacked him.
Too early it was that he removed from him his complexion,
That he removed one like him from his body.
Liberal of wealth was the grandson of Mael-na-mbo ;
He bestowed horses, and he distributed cows,
For the sake of his going to God
Who is it to whom ’tis best to give fleeting wealth ?
Gluniarn, son of Diarmaid, son of Mael-na-mbo, was killed by the men of

And six years, from the birth of the dear Son of God,

and Muircheartach was defeated, and a slaughter was made of his people there.
The [crews of the] same man’s fleet were slaughtered, after they had sailed
- round westwards on the sea to plunder Connaught. Corco-Modhruadh was
then plundered thrice by Ruaidhri, and it is wonderful if he left any cattle or
people without destroying on these occasions ; 'and three of the chieftains of
Connaught, being left in danger, were slain, namely, Gillacoirpthe, son of Cathal

namely, Muircheartach Ua Briain, with Munstermen, the Osraighi, and the
Leinstermen ; Domhnall, the son of Mac Lochlainn, King of Oileach, with the
Cinel-Conaill and Cinel-Eoghain ; Domhnall, son of Flann, King of Teamhair,
with the men of Meath ; Donnchadh Ua hEochadha, with the Ulidians ; and
Godfrey, lord of the foreigners and of Ath-cliath, with ninety ships. These
proceeded from the East to Magh-Laighean“, and they burned Uachtar-ard°, and
routed the men of Munster, Leinster, and Osraighe, who fled, without spilling
blood. After this the Ulstermen returned [home], for they did not wish to
plunder Leinster. The men of Munster after this went eastwards again, and
expelled Godfrey from Ath-cliath, and deposed the King of Teamhair, i. e.
Domhnall [Ua Maelseachlainn], and banished him into Oirghialla, the men of
Meath having turned against him. After this Ua Maelseachlainn set out with
a small party from the North, and seized the cows of Luighne and of all East
Meath; but the people of Luighne and East Meath, and the soldiers of the
King of Munster, overtook him at Loch Lebhinnp, and got between the cows
and the troop ; and he was unfairly overwhelmed in battle by his own people,
i. e. the son of Mac Aighennnain and his troop ; and their own king was slain
by them, i. e. Domhnall, son of Flann, and also Gilla-Enain, son of Lughaidh, on
the hill over Fobhar-Feichinq. Flaithbheartach Ua hAidith, lord of Ui-Eathach
Uladh, was blinded by Donnchadh Ua hEochadha, King of Ulidia. A slaughter
was made of the Airtheara [Oriors] by the Ulidians, where a great number of
the nobility fell, together with Ua Fedacain and Mac Aenghusa. Conchobhar
Ua Conchobhair', lord of Cianachta Glinne Geimhin, died after a good life.
Conchobhar Ua Conchobhair, 10rd of Ui-Failghe, was taken prisoner by Muir

Fridayd this year; the men of Ireland were seized with great fear in conse
quence, and the resolution adopted by the clergy of Ireland, with the successor
of Patrick [at their head], to protect them against the pestilence which had
been predicted to them at a remote period, was, to command all in general to
observe abstinence, from “Wednesday till Sunday, every month, and to fast [on
one meal] every day till the end of a year, except on Sundays, solemnities, and '
great festivals; and they also made aims and many offerings to God; 'and many
lands were granted to churches and clergymen by kings and chieftains ; and
the men of Ireland were saved for that time from the fire of vengeance. Ceann

The Ulidians were encamped before them at Craebh-Tulcha“. On coming

together, the hosts press the battle on each other. Both the cavalries engage.
The Ulidian cavalry was routed, and U2. hAmhrain slain in the conflict After
this the Ulidians left the camp, and the Clanna-Neill burned it, and cut down
[the tree called] Craebh-Tulcha. After this two hostages were given up to
them, and the successor of Comhghall as security for two hostages more.‘ Of
this was said :
The hostages of Ulidia were brought by force,
As witnesses distinctly relate,
By Domhnall of the lion fury,
Chief of the generous race of Eoghan.
Two brave hostages were given
Of the heroes of Ulidia on the spot,
The third without reproach, the Abbot of Comhghall,
To acknowledge Domhnall Ua Neill as king.
The ninth year above ninety,
And a thousand years of fame,
From the birth of Christ, certain without decay,
Was that in which these things were accomplished.
From the year in which cook-houses were few,
The third was that in which,
With vigour, after difliculty unspeakable,
After cutting down Craebh-Tealcha, he brought them [i. e. the hostages].

Ard-Macha. Domhnall, grandson of Lochlainn, with the people of the north
of Ireland, was during this time in Ui-Breasail-Macha, confronting them face to
face, so that he prevented the people of the four provinces of Ireland from
committing depredation or aggression any further in the province. When the
men of Munster were wearied, Muircheartach proceeded to Aenach-Macha, to
Eamhain, and round to Ard-Macha, and left eight ounces of gold upon the
altar, and promised eight score cows, and returned to Magh-Cobha, and left
the people of the province of Leinster and numbers of the men of Munster there.
He himself afterwards set out on a predatory excursion into Dal-Araidhe, with
the King of Meath and the King of Connaught"; and Donnchadh, son of Toir
dhealbhach Ua Briain, was slain on this expedition, as were the son of Ua Con
chobhair Ciarraighe, Peatadeamhainl Ua Beoain, Donncuan Ua Duibhcinn, and
a great many others of the nobility along with them. Domhnall Ua Lochlainn,
with the Clanna-Neill of the North, proceeded to Magh-Cobha, to attack the
camp of the Leinstermen ; and the Leinstermen, the Osraighi, and the Mun
stermen, assembled together all the forces they had, and fought a spirited battle
in Magh-Cobha, on Tuesday, the Nones of August, 011 the eight day after their
coming into that plain. The people of Leath-Mhogha were, however, de
feated, and slaughter made of them, viz. the slaughter of the Leinstermen, with

and the party who were on the island fled from thence, not having been able

at Ath-Luain, by Murchadh Ua Maeleachlainn and Toirdhealbhach Ua Con
chobhair, and they took mutual oaths. and made mutual armistice, and parted
in peace. Another wicker bridge was made by Toirdhealbhach across Ath
Luain, and he devastated the west of Meath. Cu-uladh Ua Caindealbhain, lord
of ‘Laeghaire, and Flaithbheartach Ua Cathasaigh, lord of the Saithni, and
Domhnall, his brother, were taken prisoners by Murchadh Ua Maeleachlainn,
for their own injustice. Tighearnan Ua Ruairc was expelled from the. chief
tainship of the Ui-Briuin, by the Ui-Briuin themselves; but he assumed the
headship of them again. A predatory excursion was made by Toirdhealbhach
Ua Conchobhair, and he plundered Muintir-Mael-tSinna. The men of Teathbha
made a fierce attack upon his forces, and made a slaughter of them, together
with Muireadhach, 'the grandson of Muireadhach Ua Finnachtaighe, chief of
Clann-Murchadha, and the grandson of Aedh, son of Ruaidhri. A battle was
gained by the foreigners of Ath-cliath, over the foreigners of Port-Lairge, in
which the son of Mac Tormair was slain.
The Age of Christ, 1141. Domhnall Ua Coinfhiacla, lord of Teathbha,
died at Cluain-Eraird, after penance. Aedh Ua Longain, steward of Munster,
died. The successor of Ciaran was robbed by the Sil-Anmchadha and Con
chobhar, the son of Mac Cochlain, at Cluain-finnlocha'. The booty was imme
diately restored by Conchobhar, son of Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair.
Diarmaid Mac Murchadha, King of_Leinster, acted treacheroust towards the
chieftains of Leinster, namely, towards Domhnall, 10rd of Ui-Faelain, and
royal heir of Leinster, and towards Ua Tuathail, i. e. Murchadh, both of whom
he killed; and also towards Muircheartach Mac Gillamocholmog, lord of Feara
Cualann, who was blinded by him. This deed caused great weakness in Lein
ster, for seventeen of the nobility of Leinster, and many others [of inferior
rank] along with them, were killed or blinded by him at that time. Donn
chadh, son of G011 Gaibhleg, i. e. Ua Conchobhair Failghe, was killed by the
Ui-Failghe themselves, i. e. the Clann-Maelughra. Domhnall Ua Loingsigh,

an advanced age, and was interred in Inis-Clothrann. An army was led by
Conchobhar Ua Briain to Ath-cliath, and the foreigners submitted to him as
their king. Some of his people died on their return from the East, after
having eaten the green corn at a certain place in Laeighis. A great army was
led by the race of Briain, by Conchobhar Ua Conchobhair, by Toirdhealbhach,
Tadhg, and Conchobhar, son of Domhnall, across the west of Connaught, from
whence they carried off many thousand cows; and they also sacked, plundered,
and demolished Dun-(E‘raillmhek on that occasion. The same party made a pre
datory excursion into Ui-Ceinnsealaigh, until they reached Loch Garman. A
predatory excursion was made by Diarmaid Mac Murchadha into Laeighis ;
and the people of Laeighis defeated him, after he had carried off a great prey
from them. The Ulstermenl of all Leinster returned to their own territories,
i. e. into Ulster, and this was a sign of vengeance in Leinster. A conference
of peace was held at Uisneach'n between Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair, King
of Connaught, and Murchadh Ua Maeleachlainn, King of Teamhair. Ua Mae
leachlainn gave his hostages to Toirdhealbhach, for Meath and Teathbha. The
hostages of the men of Breifne were also carried off by Toirdhealbhach on that
occasion. Conchobhar, grandson of Donnchadh Ua Maeleachlainn, was killed
in fetters by Murchadh Ua Maeleachlainn. God performed a 'miracle upon
Murchadh in revenge of it, i. e. Art, his son, died at the end of a fortnight after
wards. This Art was heir-presumptive to the sovereignty of Ireland. Domh
nall, son of Ruaidhri Ua Maelmhuaidh, lord of Feara-Ceall, was killed by
Muintir-Luainimh, at Rathain-Ui-Suanaigh. A great plundering army was led
by Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair into Fotharta-Airbhreach“; and he plun

Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain. Conchobhar, son of Domhnall Ua Briain, was ex

make war in Connaught. A battle was gained by the son of Niall, grandson
of Lochlainn, lord of Cinel-Eoghain, over the Feara-Droma’, and he himself was
severely wounded in the heat of that battle. An army was led by Toirdheal

naught, while he was under the protection of the relics and guarantees of
Ireland. These were they : the altar of Ciaran, with its relics ; the shrine of
Ciaran, called the Oreineach"; the Matha-mor”; the abbot and the prior, and
two out of every order in the Church; Muireadhach Ua Dubhthaigh, the arch
bishop, the lord of Connaught; the successor of Patrick, and the Stafi' of Jesus;
the successor of Feichin, and the bell of Feichin ; and the Boban of Caeimh

be no treachery, no guile, no defection of the one from the other, no blinding,
no imprisoning, and no circumscribing of Murchadh’s territory or land, until
his crime should be evident to the sureties, and that they might proclaim him
not entitled to protection ; however, he was found guilty of no crime, though
he was taken. He was set at liberty at the end of a month afterwardsfthrough
the interference of his sureties, and he was conveyed by his sureties into Mun
ster ; and the kingdom of Meath was given by Toirdhealbhach to his own son,
Conchobhar. This capture was effected as follows: a hosting was made by
Toirdhealbhach, as if to proceed into Munster ; the Connaughtmen, the Con
maicni, and the Ui-Briuin, collected to one place, and Ua Maeleachlainn was
taken and conveyed to Dun-mor”, together with the hostages of Meath in gene
ral; but not the smallest part of Meath was injured on this occasion. A pre
datory excursion was made by the Eili into Feara-Ceall, in violation of relic

men of Munster and Connaught; and they cut down the Ruaidh-Bheithigh“,
and demolished its stone-fort, after which they returned without booty or,

plundered the greater part of Cluain-Maelduibh°. An army was led by Muir

Ua Cearbhaill and the Airghialla, into Ulidia. The Ulidians were encamped
at the brink of Uchdearg”, to meet them ; but they abandoned the camp to the
Cinel-Eoghain and the Airghialla, who pursued them till they reached the shore
of Dun-dromaq, in Leath-Chathail. The Ulidians gave them battle there, on the
day of the festival of Paul and Peter; but they were defeated, and a great
number of them slain, together with Archu Ua Flathrai, lord of Leath-Chathail.
After this the forces plundered and burned all Leath-Chathail, and carried off
hostages from the Ulidians. Tadhg Ua Briain was released from his fetters, at
the intercession of the bishops of Ireland, with the successor of Patrick, Mael

of Ath-luain was gained over Domhnall, the son of Toirdhealbhach Ua Con

Europe, legate of the successor of Peter, the only head whom the Irish and the
foreigners obeyed, chief paragon of wisdom and piety, a brilliant lamp which
illumined territories and churches by preaching and good works, faithful shep
herd of the Church in general,—after having ordained bishops and priests, and
persons of every degree ; after having consecrated many churches and ceme
teries; after having performed every ecclesiastical work throughout Ireland;
after having bestowed jewels and food upon the mighty and the needy; after
having founded churches and monasteries (for by him were repaired in Ireland
every church which had been consigned to decay and neglect, and they had
been neglected from time remote); after leaving every rule and every good
moral in the churches of Ireland in general ; after having been the second time
in the legateship ; after having been fourteen years in the primacy; and after the
fifty~fourth year of his age, resigned his spirit to heaven on the second day of
November ; and the Church celebrates the feast and solemnity of St. Malachias
on the third day, it having been changed by the seniors from the feast day of
All Souls to the day after, in order that he might be the more easily revered
and honoured; and he was buried in the monastery of St. Bernard at Clarvallis,
in France, with honour and veneration. Ua Duibhin, Bishop of Cill-dara ; the

hostages of the Ulidians, together with the son of the King of Ulidia, and left
four lords over Ulidia. on that occasion. The Ulidians and Airghialla turned
against Mac Lochlainn and the Cinel-Eoghain after this. Another army was
led by Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn and the Cinel-Eoghain, across Tuaim", into
Ulidia, and he expelled Cuuladh Ua Duinnsleibhe from Ulidia, and placed
' Donnchadh in his place ; and they proceeded on this occasion int-o Machaire
Chonaill, and burned the plain, except the churches only, which were protected
by the successor of Patrick. An army was also led by Tighearnan Ua Ruairc
and Donnchadh Ua Cearbhaill into Ulidia, as far as Craebh-Tealcha"; and they
plundered the country, and placed Cuuladh in his kingdom again; however,
he was immediately expelled by the Ulidians themselves. A meetingz was held
at Ard-Macha by Ua Lochlainn, with the chieftains of the Cinel-Eoghain ; by
O’Cearbhaill, with the chieftains 0f the Airghialla, and the chief men of Ulidia,
with their lords, and made perfect peace under the Staff of Jesus, in the pre
sence of the successor of Patrick and his clergy ; and they left hostages with
~O’Lochlainn. The hostages of the Cinel-Conaill were also in the hands of
Ua Lochlainn. Ua Goirmleadhaigh, i. e. Domhnall, who had been 10rd of
Cinel-Eoghain for a time, was banished into Connaught by O’Lochlainn. Sitrick

Eoghain to Magh-an-chairn“, to expel Conchobhar; but Ua Cearbhaill pre
vented them, for he delivered his own son up to them, for the sake of Ulidia.
Another army was led by the son of Niall Ua Lochlainn, being joined by the
people of the north of Ireland, namely, the Cinel-Conaill, the Cinel-Eoghain,

and the Sil-Briain, had set out, under the conduct of Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain,
King of Munster, upon a predatory excursion into Desmond; and on their
return from the South they fell in with the Connaughtmen, the Leinstermen,
and the Meathmen. A battle was fought between them, and the men of Mun
ster were defeated and slaughtered. Seven thousand was the number of the
Munstermen slain in this battle of Moin-mor, among whom was Muircheartach,
son of Conchobhar Ua Briain, lord of Thomond, and royal heir 'of Munster;
Lughaidh, son of Domhnall Ua Briain; Aneslis Ua Grada ; [Mac Conmara], the
lord of Ui-Caisin ; Flaithbheartach Ua Deadhaidh ; and others, sons of lords,
chieftains, and distinguished men. The chief sway of Munster was assumed by
Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair on this occasion, and Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain
was banished. According to the Book of Leacain, the following were the
chieftains who were here slain : Muircheartach, son of Conchobhar Ua Briain,
lord of Thomond, the second best man of the Dal-gCais; Lughaidh, son of
Domhnall Ua Briain ; two of the Ui-Ceinneidigh‘; eight of the Ui-Deadhaidh",

four of the Ui-Neill Buidhe°; and five of the Ui-Echthighern“; with numbers
of good men besides them ; and there survived but one shattered battalion of
the three battalions which had come to that place. There were slain in the heat
of this conflict, [on the side of Connaught], Tadhg, son of Liathach Ua Con

plundered many persons on that occasion, and expelled Ua Cearbhaill from the
chieftainship of Oirghialla, in revenge for the successor of Patrick, whom he
had wounded and violated some time before. A meeting took place between
Ua Lochlainn and Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair at Magh-Ene", where they
made friendship under the Staff of Jesus, and under the relics of Colum-Cille.
An army was led by Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair into Munster; and he
divided Munster into two parts between the son of Cormac, grandson of Car
thach, and the Ua Briains, namely, Tadhg and Toirdhealbhach. An army was
led by Mac Lochlainn into Meath, as far as Rath-Ceannaigh", to meet the men
of Ireland ; and Toirdhealbhach proceeded into Meath, to meet Ua Lochlainn
and Diarmaid Mac Murchadha, King of Leinster. They divided Meath into
two parts on this occasion ; they gave from Cluain-Iraird westwards to Mur

took Conmhaicnec from Tighearnan Ua,Ruairc, after having defeated him; and
they burned the town named Bun-cuilinn“, and gave the chieftainship to the
son of Gillabraide Ua Ruairc, and their hostages were given up to Toirdheal

Ua Mordha, lord of Laeighis, was released from fetters by the King of Leinster,
Diarmaid Mac Murchadha, after he had been blinded against the guarantee of
the laity and clergy. Muirgheas, grandson of Murchadh (or Muircheartach) _

their ships behind, and the teeth of Mac Scelling were knocked out. An army of
the north of Ireland was led by Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn into Connaught,
till he reached Dun-Imghain“, in Magh-Aei; and he plundered the fort and de
stroyed the corn-crops of Magh-Luirg and Magh-Aei. He did not, however,
obtain cows or hostages. He afterwards directed his course across the ford
of Innsin-Sruthrab into Breifne, and compelled the men of Breifne to submit to
Tigheaman Ua Rnairc ; and Ua Lochlainn banished Godfrey Ua Raghallaigh
into Connaught. He proceeded from thence to Ath-cliath; and the foreigners
of Ath-cliath submitted to him as their king ; and he gave the foreigners twelve
hundred cows, as their wages°, after which he returned to his house. A pre
datory incursion was made by Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair, but he returned
without cows, after the loss of his son, Maelseachlainn, and Donnchadh Ua Ca
thail“, lord of Cinel-Aedha-na-hEchtghe, who were slain. A battle was gained
by the Osraighi over the Ui-Ceinnsealaigh, in which many were slain, together
with the son of Eochaidh Ua Nuallain“. A plundering army was led by Ti
gheaman Ua Ruairc into Leinster ; and he plundered Ui-Muireadhaigh, both
churches and territories. The Muintir-Maelsinna were plundered by Maelseach
lainn, son of Murchadh ; and they were afterwards banished into Connaught, with
their chieftain, i. e. Imhar Mac Carghamhna'. A prey was taken by the people
of Desmond from the Dal-gCais, and a prey was taken by the Dal-gCais from

A predatory incursion was made by Donnchadh Ua Cearbhaill and Tighearnan

Ua Ruairc, in revenge of their guarantee, and they plundered the Saithni ; but
Fearghal Ua Ruairc, and many others along with him, were slain by the Saithni.
A synod was convened by the clergy of Ireland, and some of the kings, at the
monastery of Droicheat-atha‘, the church of the monks. There were present
seventeen bishops, together with the Legate and the successor of Patrick ;\ and
the number of persons of every other degree was countless. Among the kings
Were Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn, Tighearnan Ua Ruairc, Ua hEochadha, and
Ua Cearbhaill. After the consecration of the church by the successor of Pa

Ireland, and banished by the kings from the kingdom of Meath ; and his bro

sented seven score cows, and three score ounces of gold, to God and to the
clergy, as an offering for the health of his soul. He granted them also a townland

three score ounces of gold; and the wife of O’Ruairc, the daughter of Ua Mae

cloth for each of the nine other altars that were in that church. An army was
led by Muircheartach, son of Niall Ua Lochlainn, accompanied by the people
of the north of Ireland, into Leinster; and the King of Leinster, Mac Mur
chadha, gave him hostages. The'people of Laeighis, Ui-Failghe, and of the
half of Osraighe, then fled into Connaught. After this he [Muircheartach]
proceeded, accompanied by the Leinstermen, into Desmond, and carried off
the hostages of Desmond. He went from thence to the Dal-gCais, and expelled
them from Thomond, and plundered some of them in Thomond. He after

the Cinel-Conaill, Cinel-Eoghain, the Airghialla, and all the northerns, with
him, into Connaught; and they burned Dun-morn, Dun-Ciarraighe°, Dun na

led by Ua Lochlainn, into Meath, to expel Ua Ruairc. He billeted the two
battalions of the Cinel-Conail and Cinel-Eoghain, for the space of a month,
upon the men of Meath, i. e. a battalion on \Vest Meath and another on East
Meath. He afterwards made peace with Ua Ruairc, and left his own land to
him, i. e. the land of the defence. He also gave the kingdom of all Leinster
to Mac Murchadha, and expelled the son of Mac Fhaelainq. On his return to
his house he plundered Dealbhna-mor, and Ui-Mic-Uais-Breagh.

An army was led by Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn into Ui-Briuin, and he plun
dered the country before him, until he arrived at Leac-Bladhma". The foreigners
and the Leinstermen, with their king, Diarmaid Mac Murchadha, came into his
house there. Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair gave him four hostages for Ui-Briuin,
Conmhaicne, the half of Munster and Meath ; and Ua Lochlainn gave him his
entire province [of Connaught]. He also gave the entire province of Leinster
to Diarmaid Mac Murchadha. Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn was therefore, on
this occasion, King of Ireland without opposition. He gave the half of Meath
which came to him to Diarmaid Ua Maeleachlainn, and the other half was in
the possession of Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair. After this Ua Lochlainn returned
to his house. Diarmaid Ua Maeleachlainn granted Beann-Artgha.ilec to God
and [St Ciaran]. Another army was led by Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn into
Meath, to attend a meeting of the men of Ireland, both laity and clergy, at
Ath-na-Dairbhrighe“; and he obtained all their hostages. It was on this occa
sion the churches of Colum-Cille in Meath and Leinster were freed by the suc
cessor of Colum-Cille, Flaithbheartach Ua Brolchain ; and their tributes and
jurisdiction were given him, for they had been previously enslaved. The visi
tation of Osraighe was made by Flaithbheartach ; and the tribute due to him
was seven score oxen, but he selected, as a substitute for these, four hundred
and twenty ounces of pure .silver. Godfrey Ua Raghallaigh was killed at
Ceanannus, by Maelseachlainn Ua Ruairc. His son, Gilla-Isa [Ua Raghal
laigh], also fell by the same Maelseachlainn, on the following day. A house
was [forcibly] taken by Cathal Ua Raghallaigh, i. e. the son of Godfrey, against
Maelseachlainn Ua Ruairc, in the middle of Slaine; and there were killed
therein Muircheartach Ua Ceallaigh, lord of Breagha, and his wife, i.e. Indearbh,
daughter of U8. Caindealbhain. Maelseachlainn, however, made his escape on
this occasion. A victory was gained by Domhnall Caemhanach", son of Mac

Samuel, chief ollamh of Ireland in penmanship, died at Ard-Macha, on the
4th day of February. The monastery of the monks at Iubhar-Chinntrechta
was burned, with all its furniture and books, and also the yew tree which Pa
trick himself had planted. Imleach-Iubhair, with its church, was burned. A
separation of the houses” from the church of Doire was caused by the successor
of Colum-Cille, Flaithbheartach Ua Brolchain, and by Muircheartach Ua Loch
lainn, King of Ireland; and they removed eighty houses, or more, from the
place where they were ; and Caiseal-an-urlair was erected by the successor of
Colum-Cille, who pronounced a curse against any one that should come over it.
A synodq of the clergy of Ireland, with the successor of Patrick, Gillamacliag,
son of Ruaidhri, was convened at Claenadh [Clane], where there were present
twenty-six bishops and many abbots, to establish rules and morality amongst
the men of Ireland, both laity and clergy. On this occasion the clergy of Ire
land determined that no one should be a lector in any church in Ireland who
was not an alumnus of Ard-Macha before. The visitation of Cinel-Eoghain was
made by the successor of Patrick, Gillamacliag, son of Ruaidhri, the like of which
had not previously occurred. An army was led by Muircheartach Ua. Loch
lainn, accompanied by the people of the north of Ireland, the men of Meath, and
a battalion of the Connaughtmen, to Ath-cliath, to lay siege to the foreigners;
but Ua Lochlainn returned without battle or hostages, after having plundered
Fine Gall. He left, however, the Leinstermen and Meathmen at war with the
foreigners. A peace was afterwards concluded between the foreigners and the
Irish; and six score ounces of gold were given by the foreigners to O’Lochlainn,
and five score ounces of gold [were paid] by Diarmaid Ua Maeleachlainn to

died. A great war and mutual depredations between the men of Meath and
the men of Breifne. Sitric Ua Ruairc, Tanist of Breifne, was killed by Ua Ciar
dha and the Cairbri. A great depredation was committed by Ruaidhri Ua Con
chobhair, and the people of all the province of Connaught, upon the Cairbri, in
revenge of Sitric. Another depredation by the same, upon the men of Breagha,
the Saithni, and the Ui-Colgain; and they plundered the whole country. The
Ulidians began to turn against Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn, and proceeded
with a force against the Ui-Meith, and carried 011' cows, and slew many persons.
They made another depredatory irruption upon the Ui-Breasail-Airthir, and
another upon the Dal-Riada. A great army was afterwards led by Muirchear
tach [Ua Lochlainn], consisting of. the Cinel-Conaill, Cinel-Eoghain, and Air
ghialla, into Ulidia; and they plundered and spoiled the whole country, except
the principal churches of Ulidia; and they made a countless slaughter of men,
and slew, among others, Eachmarcach Mac Gilla-Epscoib and Us Lomain; and
they banished Eochaidh Mac Duinnsleibhe from Ulidia, after having deprived
him of his kingdom; and all the Ulidians gave their hostages to Ua Lochlainn
for his royal power. Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn proceeded with the Cinel
Eoghain to Inis-Lochain”, and burned and destroyed the island. The Cinel
Eoghain afterwards returned to their houses in triumph, with vast spoils and
many ships. Ua Lochlainn then went to Ard-Macha, whither Donnchadh
Ua Cearbhaill, 10rd of Oirghialla, and Eochaidh Mac Duinnsleibhe, came to
meet Muircheartach, to request that he would again restore Mac Duinnsleibhe
to his kingdom. Ua Lochlainn gave him the kingdom, in consideration of
receiving the hostages of all Ulidia; and Eochaidh gave him a son of every
chieftain in Ulidia, and his own daughter, to be kept by Ua Lochlainn as a
hostage; and many jewels were given him, together with the sword of the son
of the Earl'. He also gave up [the territory of] Bairche8 to Ua Lochlainn, who
immediately granted it to Ua Cearbhaill, i. e. Donnchadh ; and a townland was
granted to the clergy of Sabhall, for the luck of the reign of Mac Lochlainn.
Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain was deposed by Muircheartach, son of Toirdheal

Brachaidhe, was slain by the son of Niall Ua Lochlainn. Eochaidh Mac Duinn
sleibhe Ua hEochadha, pillar of the prowess and hospitality of the Irish, was
blinded by Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn; and the three best men of the Dal~
Araidhe, i. e. two Mac Loingsighs, and the grandson of Cathasach Ua Flathrae,
were killed by the same king, in violation of the protection of the successor of
Patrick and the Staff of Jesus ; of Donnchadh Ua Cearbhaill, lord of Oirghialla;
and in violation of the protection of the relics, laity, and clergy of all the north
of Ireland. After this an army was led by Donnchadh Ua Cearbhaill, into
Tir-Eoghain, to revenge [the violation of] the guarantee of Patrick and his
own guarantee. Three large battalions was the number of his army, [i. e.] the
battalion of Oirghialla, the battalion of Ui-Briuin, i. e. of Breifne, and the bat
talion of Conmhaicne. These hosts arrived at Leitir-Luin°, in the Feadha of
Ui-Eachdhach, in Tir-Eoghain". When these met Ua Lochlainn and the Cinel
Eoghain with a few troops, a fierce and merciless battle was fought between
them, in which the Cinel-Eoghain were defeated, with the loss of Muirchear
tach Ua Lochlainn, Monarch of all Ireland, the chief lamp of the valour, chivalry,
hospitality, and prowess of the west of the world in his time ; a man who had
never been defeated in battle or conflict till that time, and who had gained
many battles. There were slain along with him in the battle, Us. Gillalainne
and Ua hAdhmaill, two distinguished chieftains, and Mac Gillamartain, chief of
Cinel-Fearadhaigh, with many others. It was to foretell the battle of Leath
Caimm and this battle, Dachiarogq, i. e. the saint of Airegal, said:

Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair was there inaugurated king as honourably as any
king of the Gaeidhil was ever inaugurated ; and he presented their stipends to
the foreigners in many cows, for he levied a tax of four thousand cows upon
the men of Ireland for them. On this occasion the foreigners accompanied
Ruaidhri to Droieheat-atha, whither Donnchadh Ua Cearbhaill and the chief
tains of Airghialla came into his house, and gave him their hostages. Fearna‘
was burned by Mac Murchadha, from fear that the Connaughtmen would burn
his castle and his house. Ruaidhri then proceeded, accompanied by the same
forces, back to Leinster, and took their hostages ; and he afterwards advanced
to Fidh-dorcha“, and cleared the pass of that wood; and next proceeded into
Ui-Ceinnsealaigh, and took the hostages of Diarmaid Mac Murchadha, and of
the Ui-Ceinnsealaigh in general. Another great army of the men of Connaught,
Breifne, and Meath, was led by Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair into Leinster, into
Osraighe, and afterwards into Munster; and all the kings of Leath-Mhogha
came into his house, [and submitted to him]. He divided Munster into two
parts, of which he gave one to the Sil-Briain, and the other to Diarmaid, son
of Cormac [Mac Carthaigh]. An army, composed of the men of Breifne and

son of Conchobhar Ua Briain, and he himself and his conspirators were killed
immediately after by Ua Faelaln, lord of the Deisi-Mumhan, who did this deed
for Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair. The grandson of Conchobhar was killed im
mediately in revenge of him by Diarmaid Finn and Ua Faelain, as were seven
sons of chieftains, with their people. The kingdom of Munster was assumed
by Domhnall, son of Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain, after his brother, Muirchear
tach. Murchadh Ua Finnallain, lord of Dealbhna-mor, was slain by Diarmaid,

Enna Mac Murchadhak, royal heir of Leinster, was blinded by the grandson of
Gillaphadraig, i. e. Donnchadh, lord of Osraighe. A meeting was convened by
Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair, King of Ireland, with all the people of Connaught;
Tighearnan Ua Ruairc, lord of Breifne ; and Donnchadh Ua Cearbhaill, with
the Airghialla, at Ochainn‘, to demand their eric from Diarmaid Ua Maelseach
lainn and the men of Meath, after their having killed Ua Finnallain, in violation
of the protection of the province of Connaught and the Airghialla. The men
of Meath and their king gave them eight hundred cows for their eineach, and
another eric to the Dealbhna. On this occasion the fair of Tailltinm was cele
brated by the King of Ireland and the people of Leath-Chuinn, and their horses
and cavalry were spread out on the space extending from Mullach-Aitin to
Mullach-Taiten". Diarmaid Ua Maeleachlainn was deposed by the people of
East Meath, in revenge of the payment of the aforesaid cows. The victory of
Ath-an-chomairp, at Druim-criaighq, was gained by Ua Maeleachlainn and the
people of West Meath over the battalion of Tuath-Luighne’, wherein many
were slain, together with the son of Gairbheth Ua Sirten, of the Gaileanga ;

archers, in the army of Mac Murchadha, to cohtest Leinster for him, and to
disturb the Irish of Ireland in general ; and Mac Murchadha gave his daughter
to the Earl Strongbow for coming into his army. They took Loch Garmane,
and entered Port-Lairger by force; and they took Gillemaire, the officer of the
fortress“, and Ua Faelain, 10rd of the Deisi, and his son, and they killed seven
hundred persons there. Domhnall Breaghach Ua Maeleachlainn, with numbers
of the men of Breagha along with him, proceeded into Leinster; and Donn- .
chadh Ua Ceallaigh, lord of Breagha, fell by the Leinstermen on that occasion.
An army was led by Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair, King of Ireland ; Tighearnan
Ua Ruairc, lord of Breifne; Murchadh Ua Cearbhaill, lord of Oirghialla, against
Leinster and the Galls aforesaid ; and there was a challenge of battle between
them for the space of three days, until lightning burned Ath-cliath; for the
foreigners [Danes] of the fortress deserted from the Connaughtmen and the
people of Leath-Chifinn in general. A miracle was wrought against the
foreigners [Danes] of Ath-cliath on this occasion, for Mac Murchadha and the
Saxons acted treacherously towards them, and made a slaughter of them in the
middle of their own fortress, and carried off their cattle and their goods, in
consequence of their violation of their word to the men of Ireland. Asgall“,
son of Raghnall, son of Turcall, chief king of the foreigners [Danes] of Ath
cliath, made his escape from them. A victory was gained by the son of Cormac,
grandson of Carthach, and the people of Desmond, over the knights who were
left to protect Port-Lairge. An army was led by Mac Murchadha and his
knights into Meath and Breifne; and they plundered Cluain-Iraird‘, and burned

vered hostages to Mac Murchadha. The hostages of East Meath were put to
death by Tighearnan Ua Ruairc. The son of Mac Fhaelain and the son of
Donnchadh Mac Gillaphadraig were banished by Mac Murchadha. An army
was led by Mac Murchadha into Breifne, and a party of his people were defeated
by the soldiers of Tighearnan Ua Ruairc. They afterwards made an attack
upon the camp in which he himself was, with the Leinstermen, Galls [English],
and the men of Meath and Oirghialla, about him, and slew numbers of them.
And they left their camp. Domhnall Ua Briain and the Dal-gCais turned
against Ruaidhri. A great fleet was brought upon the Sinainn, by Ruaidhri
Ua Conchobhair, to plunder Munster. A predatory incursion was made by the
Ui-Maine into Ormond, and a predatory incursion was made by the people of
West Connaught into Thomond. They [the Ui-Maine] plundered Ormond on
this occasion, and destroyed the wooden bridge of Cill-Dalua. Lorcan Ua hEch

the Irish, after plundering and burning many churches, as Ceanannus, Cluain

miracle of God, Colum-Cille, and Finnen, and the other saints of Ireland, whose
churches he had profaned and burned some time before; and he died at Fearna

without unction, as his evil deeds deserved. Maelcron Mac Gillaseachnaill,
lord of South Breagha, died. Tailltin, daughter of Conchobhar Ua Maeleach

Muineacha. Domhnall Ua Fogarta, 10rd of South Eile, was slain by Domhnall,
son of Donnchadh [Mac Gillaphadraig] of Osraighe ; and he made a slaughter
of the people of the two Eiles, where he slew three hundred persons. A plun
dering fleet was brought by the Ulidians into Tir-Eoghain, in which they carried
off a countless number of cows. A predatory incursion was made by Niall, son
of Mac Lochlainn, and the Cinel-Eoghain, into Ulidia, and numbers were slain
by them ; and they carried off countless cows. The hostages of the Airghialla
were afterwards taken by Niall Ua Lochlainn. A great predatory force was
led by Maghnus Mac Duinnsleibhe Ua hEochadha and the Ulidians into Cuil
an-tuais-ceirt"; and they plundered Cuil-rathain [Coleraine] and other churches.
A small party of the Cinel-Eoghain, under Conchobhair Ua Cathain, overtook
them ; and a battle was fought between them, in which the Ulidians were de
feated, with the loss of one-and-twenty chieftains and sons of chieftains, with
many others [of the commonalty]; and Maghnus himself was wounded, but he
escaped from the conflict on that occasion. He was afterwards killed by his

A predatory incursion was made upon the Saithni by Tighearnan Ua Ruairc,
with the men of Breifne. They slew numbers of persons, and carried off many
cows. Another predatory incursion was made by Tighearnan into South
Breagha; and he slew Gillan-Enain Mac Lughadha, i. e. chief of Cuircne, and
Mac Gillaseachlainn, chief of South Breagha. Ua Lamhdhuibh was slain by
the men of Meath on this occasion. Domhnall Breaghach, lord of Meath, deli
vered hostages to Tighearnan Ua Ruairc. Seven predatory incursions were
made by the Ui-Maine into Ormond, from Palm-Sunday till Low-Sunday.
Daimhliag-Chianain [Duleek] was plundered by the knights of Milo Cogan;
and some of them were slain on the following day by the foreigners [i. e. Danes]
of Ath-cliath, in revenge of Cianan. The battle of Ath-cliath was fought be
tween Milo Cogan and Asgall, [who was for] some time before king of the
foreigners [Danes] of Ireland. Many were slaughtered on both sides of the
Saxon knights and the foreigners [Danes] of Ath-cliath. Asgall’, son of Ragh
nall, fell therein, as did ann, a Dane from the Insi-hOrc [Orkney Islands], and
many others besides them. An army was led by Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair,
Tighearnan Ua Ruairc, and Murchadh Ua Cearbhaill, to Ath-cliath, to lay siege
to the Earl, i. e. Strongbow, and Milo Cogan. There were conflicts and skir
mishes between them for the space of a fortnight. O’Conchobhair afterwards
went against the Leinstermen, with the cavalry of the men of Breifne and Air
ghialla, to cut down and burn the corn of the Saxons. The Earl and Milo
Cogan afterwards entered the camp of Leath-Chuinn, and slew many of their
commonalty, and carried off their provisions“, armour, and horses. A victory
was gained by the son of Cormac Mac Carthaigh over the foreigners of Luim
neach. A great number of them was slain by him, and, among the rest, Foirne,
son of Gillacainnigh, and Torchar, son of Treni; and he burned the market

place in Ross-shire, in Scotland, now called anglicé Applecross, which is the name of an old church
situated opposite the Isle of Skye, a short distance to the north of Loch Carron. The Editor is
indebted to the Rev.William Reeves, author of the Ecclesiastical Antiquities ofDown and Connor, (fa,
for this identification. In the Registry of Aberdeen, at 17 Kal. Septembris, is set down the festival
of S. Malrubius of Appilhors, which is clearly the present Applecross. Sinclair, in his Statistical
Account of Scotland (vol. pp. 377, 379), states that the shell of the old parish church remains
in Applecross, and beside an ancient ecclesiastical building ; but he takes the name, Applecross,
to be a modern one, and derived from ‘ rows of apple trees, which the proprietor of the estate
planted in cross rows.’ The Rev. Mr. Reeves, who justly rejects this derivation, thinks that by
the change of liquids aper was made apel, and that the noun crassan was shortened to cross. 111
this opinion the Editor entirely concurs, and he thinks that local inquiry would enable not merely
an antiquary, but any intelligent inquirer, to ascertain that the modern Applecross is still called
Abercrossan among those who speak Gaelic.”—See the Irish Ecclesiastical Journal, July, 1849,
