Traceys
of the Cenél Eóghain (West Ulster)
Note: The historian
Peadar Livingstone, expresses an opinion that the Traceys may not be natives of
Ulster. It may be that these Traceys were of the Uí Bairrche, a
mainly Leinster tribe, that had their origins in the Ulaid of East Ulster.

Eoghan was the son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. He was King of Ailech (later referred to as Tir Eoghain, later Tyrone) took part with three of his brothers (Conall Gulban, Enda and Cairbre) in the overthrow of Ulidian power and the conquest of north-western Ireland, capturing the great pre-historic dry-stone stronghold at Aileech (whose keep can still be seen surrounded by three remaining rings of ramparts) circa 425; established his own kingdom in the peninsula still called after him Innishowen (Innis Eoghain or Eogan's Isle) between Lough Swilly and Lough Foyle. His descendants, known as the Cenel Eoghain, became the principal branch of the Northern Ui Neill. The Northern Ui Neill were divided into two main branches, Cenel Conaill and Cenel nEoghain. Cenel Conaill were the more powerful from the late sixth to the middle seventh century, with Flaithbertach mac Loingsig abdocating the overkingship of the Ui Neill in 734 A.D. The Cenel nEoghain next dominated and by the late eighth century had expanded southwards and eastwards from Inishowen and Derry across the mid-Ulster plain and slowly brought the minor kingdoms ruled by the Airgialla under their control. The Ulaid in the east and Cenel Conaill in the west remained bitterly hostile to the dominant Cenel nEogain.
Niell Trassach (or Frassach or Frosach) of the Cenél Eóghain was High King of Ireland 759-765 AD. So-called from certain miraculous showers that fell in his time (a shower of honey, a shower of money, and a shower of blood). After seven years' reign, retired to St. Columb's Monastery at Hye, in Scotland, A.D. 765, where he died in A.D. 773. In Donegal, there is the townland of Carntressy in
Templecarn, named after the Traceys. Carntressy may mean the burial mound of
Tracey, a carn is a burial mound of a pile of stones. Or it may indicate an
inauguration site for the Traceys of West Ulster. In the genealogy, it states that the originator of the Traceys of Fermanagh came from Dhruim Mór (Dromore). There are 65 townlands, 2 civil parishes and 2 Roman Catholic parishes named Dromore in Ireland. The parishes are in Tyrone and Down. The historian Peadar Livingstone, expresses an opinion that the Traceys may not be natives of Ulster. He states “Similarly, is the Uí Neill origin adopted by the Farrys, the Fees, the Treacys and the Corrigans genuine? They could easily have been planted in Fermanagh during the Sileach supremacy, 1000-1200, or they could easily have been attracted towards giving themselves a Cinéal Eoghain progenitor.” It may be possible that these Traceys with the MacGormans, were part of one the free tribes of the Uí Bairrche that settled in West Ulster from earliest times. The Fir Monach locha Éirne (Mooney of Loch Erne) whose name later became the name of the county of Fermanagh, were an Uí Barriche tribe. The importance of the Uí Bairrche in the sixth century
is indicated by the marriages recorded. Corbach
(Corpach) daughter of Maine, a descendant of Muiredach Mo-Snítheach, married (Fergus) Cerrbél of Clann Cholmáin
(Southern Uí Néill). She was the mother of Diarmait mac Cerbaill, High King
of Ireland (†565AD). Another
important marriage was that Eithne (also known as Derbfhind Belfhota)
an Uí Bairrche princess to Feidimid, great-grandson of Niall of the Nine
Hostages and prince of the Uí Néill dynasty of high kings. This is recorded
as she was mother to St Colum Cille or Columba (†597AD) considered to be the
one of the three great saints of Ireland with St. Patrick and St. Bridget. In
the record of her genealogy, there is Cairpe the poet, whom Keating describes
as king of Leinster, and his father Ailill the Great, who is described as
King of Ireland in the Book of Lecan. She was a descendant of St. Féicc,
first Bishop of Leinster appointed by St. Patrick. In the ancient genealogies, there was an Uí Bairrche settlement at Drumcliff Co. Sligo. The Traceys of the Sil Anmchadha of East Connaught were also known Muinter
Tressach [Tracey Family]. Cenél Eóghain High Kings of Ireland AD 465 Eoghan, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, ancestor of the Cenél Eóghain.

plundered the fortresses of the foreigners, wherever they were in the North,
both in Cinel Eoghain and Dal Araidhe; and he carried off their cattle and
accoutrements, their goods and chattles. The foreigners of the province came
together at Loch Feabhail Mic Lodain. After Aedh, King of Ireland, had
learned that this gathering of strangers was on the borders of his country,
he was not negligent in attending to them, for he marched towards them with
all his forces; and a battle was fought fiercely and spiritedly on both sides
between them. The victory was gained over the foreigners, and a slaughter was
made of them. Their heads were collected to one place, in presence of the
king; and twelve score heads were reckoned before him, which was the number
slain by him in that battle, besides the numbers of them who were wounded and
carried off by him in the agonies of death, and who died of their wounds some

Echmhilidh Ua hAitidhe, lord of Ui-Eathach, was slain by the Ulidians
themselves. Extract
from the Book of Cluain-mic-Nois, and the Book of the Island, i.e. the Island
of the Saints, in Loch Ribh. A great
army was led by Brian, son of Ceinneidigh, into Cinel-Conaill and
Cinel-Eoghain, to demand hostages. The route they took was through the middle
of Connaught, over Eas-Ruaidh, through the middle of Tir-Conaill, through
Cinel-Eoghain, over Feartas Camsa, into Dal-Riada, into Dal-Araidhe, into
Ulidia, into Conaille-Muirtheimhne; and they arrived, about Lammas, at
Bealach-duin. The Leinstermen then proceeded southwards across Breagha to
their territory, and the foreigners by sea round eastwards southwards? to
their fortress. The Munstermen also and the Osraighi went through Meath
westwards to their countries. The Ulidians rendered hostages on this
occasion; but they Brian Borumha and his party did not obtain the hostages of
the races of Conall and Eoghan. |

Domhnall, son of Flann, King of Teamhair, with the men of Meath; Donnchadh Ua

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 Lebhinn, 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-Feichin. |

A great war broke out between the Cinel-Eoghain and the Ulidians; and
Muircheartach Ua Briain, with the men of Munster, Leinster, and Osraighe, and
with the chiefs of Connaught, and the men of Meath, with their kings,
proceeded to Magh-Cobha, to relieve the Ulidians. Both parties went all into
Machaire-Arda-Macha, i.e. to Cill-na-gCornaire, and were for a week laying
siege to, 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 Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain, was slain on this expedition,
as were the son of Ua Conchobhair Ciarraighe, Peatadeamhain 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 Munstermen, assembled together all the forces they had, and
fought a spirited battle in Magh-Cobha, on Tuesday, the Nones of August, on
the eight day after their coming into that plain. The people of Leath-Mhogha
were, however, defeated, and slaughter made of them, viz. the slaughter of
the Leinstermen, with Muircheartach Mac Gillamocholmog, King of Leinster,
with the two Ua Lorcains, i.e. Murchadh, King of Ui-Muireadhaigh, and his
brother, and with Muircheartach Mac Gormain, with a great number of others
besides them; the slaughter of the Ui-Ceinnsealaigh, together with the two sons
of Maelmordha, and Rian, lord of Ui-Drona, and many others also; the
slaughter of the Osraighi in general, with Gillaphadraig Ruadh and the
chieftains of Osraighe; the slaughter of the foreigners of Ath-cliath, with
Thorstan, son of Eric, with Pol, son of Amann, and Beollan, son of Armunn,
with a countless number of others; the slaughter of the men of Munster, with
the two Ua Brics, i.e. two tanists of the Deisi; and with Ua Failbhe, Tanist
of Corca-Dhuibhne and Erri of Leinster; with Ua Muireadhaigh, lord of
Ciarraighe, with his son, and many others of the nobility, which it would be
tediousto enumerate. The Clanna-Neill of the North, namely, the Cinel-Eoghain
and Cinel-Conaill, returned to their forts victoriously ancl triumphantly,
with valuable jewels and much wealth, together with the royal tent, the
standard, and many other precious jewels. |

An army was
led by Muircheartach Mac Neill Ua Lochlainn and the Cinel-Eoghain, and
Donnchadh 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-droma, 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. |

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 Airghialla, into Ulidia; they plundered all the upper part of Ulidia,
from the harbour of Snamh-Aighneach to Droichet-na-Feirtsi. A party of them
went upon the islands of Loch Cuan, and they plundered Inis-Cumscraidh,
Leathghlais, Cill-Aedhain, Magh-bile, Beanchor, and all the other churches of
the country, except Dun Leathghlais and Sabhall. Ua Duinnsleibhe afterwards
came into the house of Ua Lochlainn, and delivered his own son up to him as a
hostage, and whatever other hostages he demanded. After this they returned
back to their houses, with a countless cattle spoil, and with many prisoners. |

the men of Umhall, of Ui-Amhalghadha, and Ui-Fiachrach, and the Cosnamhaigh
Ua Dubhda in command over them; and they plundered Tir-Conaill and
Inis-Eoghain. The Cinel-Eoghain and Muircheartach, son of Niall, sent persons
over sea to hire (and who did hire) the fleets of the Gall-Gaeidhil, of Ara,
of Ceann-tire, of Manainn, and the borders of Alba in general, over which Mac
Scelling was in command; and when they arrived near Inis-Eoghain, they fell
in with the other fleet, and a naval battle was fiercely and spiritedly
fought between them; and they continued the conflict from the beginning of
the day till evening, and a great number of the Connaughtmen, together with
Cosnamhaigh Ua Dubhda, were slain by the foreigners. The foreign host was
however defeated and slaughtered; they left their ships behind, and the teeth
of Mac Scelling were knocked out. |

A great army was after this led by Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair with the
Connaughtmen, and a battalion of Thomond, and Tighearnan Ua Ruairc, with the
men of Breifne, into Meath, until they reached Loch Semhdhighe. They
afterwards proceeded from thence to Ath-Fhirdiaidh in the plain of the
Oirghialla. Another army was led by Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn, with the
chiefs of Cinel-Conaill and Cinel-Eoghain, and of the north in general, to
Ath-Fhirdiadh also, to relieve the Oirghialla. A battle was there fought between
them, in which the Connaughtmen, the Conmhaicni, and Ui-Briuin, amounting in
all to six large battalions, were defeated, and the other two battalions were
dreadfully slaughtered; and among the rest Gillachrist, son of Tadhg Ua
Maelruanaidh, lord of Magh-Luirg; Muircheartach Mac Taidhg; Muireadhach Ua
Mannachain, lord of Ui-Briuin-na-Sinna; Branan Mac Branain, chief of
Corca-Achlach; Ceithearnach Ua Follamhain, chief of Clann-Uadach; Aedh, son

of Mac Cnaimhin; the two sons of Conchobhar Ua Conchobhair; Murchadh, the son
of Domhnall Ua Flaithbheartaigh; and many others of the nobility and
commonalty along with them. These were the chieftains there slain of the
Ui-Briuin: Mac-na-haidhche Ua Cearnachain; Cumara Ua Cumrain; Gilla-na-naemh
Ua Galain, chief of Clann-Dunghalaigh; Annadh, son of Noenneanaigh Ua
Cearbhaill, and his brother; the son of Cufraich Ua Loingsigh, chief of
Cinel-Bacat; Macraith Ua Tormadain, and Macraith Ua Cuagain, two chiefs of
Cinel-Duachain; the son of Mac-Finnbhairr Ua Gearadhain, and many others
besides them. Also a great number of the Munstermen, with the son of
Gillachiarain Ua Ceinneidigh. Muircheartach devastated Tir-Briuin and
plundered Muintir-Geradhain.He gave Tir-Beccon, Tir-Fhiachach,
Cailli-Follamhain, Sodhair, and Finntain, which were his own lands, to the
men of Meath. And after this the Cinel-Conaill and Cinel-Eoghain, and
Muircheartach, returned to their houses with victory and exultation. |

battalions of the Cinel-Conail and Cinel-Eoghain, for the space of a month,
upon the men of Meath, i.e. a battalion on West 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 Fhaelain. On his return to his house
he plundered Dealbhna-mor, and Ui-Mic-Uais-Breagh. |

against the Ui-Meith, and carried off cows, and slew many persons. They made
another deprecatory irruption upon the Ui-Breasail-Airthir, and another upon
the Dal-Riada. A great army was afterwards led by Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn,
consisting of the Cinel-Conaill, Cinel-Eoghain, and Airghialla, 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 Ua 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, lord 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 Bairche 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. |

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 battalion 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 Muircheartach 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, Ua 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, Dachiarog, i.e. the saint of Airegal, said: Lethi-Cam!

mustering of the men of Ireland, with their chieftains, by Ruaidhri Ua
Conchobhair. Thither came Diarmaid, son of Cormac, lord of Desmond;
Muircheartach Ua Briain, lord of Thomond; Diarmaid Ua Maeleachlainn, King of
Meath; Donnchadh Ua Cearbhaill, lord of Oirghialla; and all the chieftains of
Leinster. They afterwards arrived in Tir-Eoghain, and Ua Conchobhair divided
the territory into two parts, i.e. gave that part of Tir-Eoghain north of the
mountain, i.e. Callainn, to Niall Ua Lochlainn, for two hostages, i.e. Ua
Cathain of Craebh, and Macan-Ghaill Ua Brain, and that part of the country of
the Cinel to the south of the mountain to Aedh Ua Neill, for two other
hostages, i.e. Ua Maelaedha, one of the Cinel-Aenghusa, and Ua hUrthuile, one
of the Ui-Tuirtre Ua Neill's own foster-brothers. The men of Ireland returned
back southwards over Sliabh-Fuaid, through Tir-Eoghain, and Tir-Conaill, and
over Eas-Ruaidh to meet thelr sea-fleet; and Ua Conchobhair escorted the lord
of Desmond, with his forces, southwards through Thomond as far as Cnoc-Aine with
many jewels and riches. |

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 defeated, 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 own brother, Donnsleibhe, and
Gilla-Aenghusa, son of Mac Gillaepscoip, ruler of Monaigh at Dun Downpatrick,
after having perpetrated many evil deeds. |

men of Oriel. They killed five hundred or more of the English, besides women,
children, and horses; and not one individual escaped with his life from the
castle. Three castles were left desolate in Meath on the following day,
through fear of the Kinel-Owen, viz. the castle of Kells, the castle of
Galtrim, and the castle of Derrypatrick. Richard Fleming himself was slain on

An army was
led by John De Courcy and the knights into Dalaradia and to Dun da leathghlas; they
slew Donnell, the grandson of Cathasach, Lord of Dalaradia. Dun da leathghlas
was plundered and destroyed by John and the knights who came in his army. A
castle was erected by them there, out of which they defeated the Ulidians
twice, and the Kinel-Owen and Oriels once, slew Conor O'Carellan, chief of
Clandermot, and Gilla-Macliag O'Donnelly, chief of Feardroma; and Donnell
O'Flaherty now Laverty was so wounded by arrows on this occasion, that he
died of his wounds in the church of St. Paul at Armagh, after having received
the body and blood of Christ, and after extreme unction and penance. Many
other chieftains were also slain by them besides these. During the same
expedition, John De Courcy proceeded with his forces to Hy-Tuirtre and Firlee;
before his arrival, however, Cumee O'Flynn had set Armoy on fire; but they
burned Coleraine and many other churches on this incursion. |

Melaghlin O'Donnell, Lord of Tirconnell, Kinel-Moen, Inishowen, and
Fermanagh, was slain by Maurice Fitzgerald. He was enabled to accomplish this
in the following manner: A great army was led by Maurice Fitzgerald, and the
other English chiefs, first to Sligo, and thence to the Cataract of Aedh Roe,
the son of Badharn. Cormac, the son of Dermot, who was son of Roderic
O'Conor, joined his muster. This was on the Wednesday after the festival of
SS. Peter and Paul. O'Donnell assembled the Kinel-Connell and Kinel-Owen
against them, so that they did not allow a single man, either English or
Irish, to cross the ford of Ath-Seanaigh for a whole week. The English then
bethought them of sending Cormac O'Conor with a large body of cavalry
westwards along the plain, who was to turn southwards through the plain, and
then eastwards along the borders of the bog, unperceived by any one, until he
should arrive at Bel-atha-Culuain a ford on the Erne. This was accordingly
done, and the Kinel-Connell knew nothing of the movement until they saw the
body of cavalry advancing on their rear, on their side of the river; they
then turned round to them. When the English saw that the attention of the
Kinel-Connell was directed towards the cavalry who had advanced on their
rear, they rushed across the ford against them, being confident that they the
Kinel-Connell would not be able to attend to the attacks of both. The
Kinel-Connell were now in the very centre of their enemies, who had
surrounded them on every side. O'Donnell was slain on the spot, as well as
the Cammhuinealach Wry-necked O'Boyle, the head Chieftain of the Three
Tuathas, Mac Sorley, Lord of Argyle, and other chiefs of the Kinel-Connell. A
great number of Fitzgerald's forces were slain and drowned here; others of
them were drowned northwards in the River Finn, and many others at Termon
Daveog, in pursuit of preys that fled before them; and among the rest William
Britt, sheriff of Connaught, and his brother, a young knight. The country was
then plundered and desolated by them the English, and they left the
chieftainship of the Kinel-Connell to Rory O'Canannan on this occasion. |

Another army
was led by the Lord Justice of Ireland into Tyrone, against O'Neill. The
Kinel-Owen held a council, in which they agreed that, as the English of
Ireland had, at this time, the ascendancy over the Irish, it would be
advisable to give them hostages, and to make peace with them for the sake of
their country. It was on this expedition that the English erected the bridge
of the Bann, and the castle of Druim Tairsigh. |

The battle of Disert-da-chrioch
was fought by the Kinel-Connell and the Kinel-Owen, that is, beween Hugh Boy,
son of Donnell Oge, son of Hugh Meth, son of Hugh, who was usually called an
Macaemh Toinleasc, assisted by the English of Ulster, on the one side; and
Donnell Oge O'Donnell, Lord of Tirconnell, Fermanagh, Oriel, and the greater
part of the Irish of Ulster, of Connaught, excepting a small portion, and of
the entire of Breifny, on the other. In this battle the Kinel-Connell were
defeated; and Donnell Oge O'Donnell, the most illustrious man of the Irish of
his time for hospitality, prowess, splendour, and nobility, and the greatest
commander in the west of Europe, was slain; and he was interred in the
monastery of Derry, having obtained the palm in every goodness up to that
time. The most distinguished of those who fell along with him were the
following, namely, Mulrony O'Boyle, Chief of the Three Tuathas; Owen, son of
Melaghlin, son of Donnell More O'Donnell; Kellagh, son of Giolla-Brighde

in his neighbourhood and vicinity to encroach upon any of his superabundant
possessions, even to the time of his disease and infirmity; a fierce,

church, as is evident from the accounts of old people and historians; a
learned man, skilled in many arts, gifted with a profound intellect, and the
knowledge of every science, died on the 9th of February, at his own
mansion-seat at Lifford, a castle which he had erected in despite of O'Neill
and the Kinel-Owen, and was interred in the burial place of his predecessors,
and ancestors at Donegal, in the monastery of St. Francis, with great honour
and veneration, after having vanquished the Devil and the world. |

M1567.2
O'Neill (John, son of Con, who was son of Henry, who was son of Owen)
mustered a very numerous army, to march into Tirconnell against O'Donnell
(Hugh, the son of Manus, son of Hugh Oge, son of Hugh Roe), to plunder and
ravage the country, as he had done some time before, when O'Donnell (Manus)
was not able to govern or defend his principality or country, in consequence
of his own infirmity and ill health, and the strife and contention of his
sons. The place where O'Donnell happened to be with a few forces at this
time, with Hugh Oge, the son of Hugh Roe, and with others of his relations,
was Ard-an-ghaire, on the north side of the estuary which is called Suileach;
and, hearing that O'Neill had arrived with his forces in the country, he
dispatched messengers to summon such of his chieftains as were in his
neighbourhood, and he himself awaited them there at Ard-an-ghaire; they did
not, however, come fully assembled at his summons. As they were here waiting,
they received no notice of any thing, until, at break of day, they perceived,
just within sight, on the other side of Fearsad-Suilighe, a powerful body of
forces rapidly advancing towards them, in hosts and squadrons ; and they
stopped not in their course, without halting or delaying, until, without
halting or delaying, they had crossed the Fearsad, for the tide was out at
the time. When O'Donnell perceived this, he instantly drew up his little army
in order and array, and dispatched a troop of cavalry, under the command of
the son of O'Donnell (Hugh, the son of Hugh), to engage the van of the enemy,
in order that he might bring all his infantry across the level fields into a
secure position, where his enemies could not encompass or surround them. In
the engagement which followed between O'Donnell's cavalry and the van of the
cavalry of O'Neill, fell, by O'Neill's army, Niall, the son of Donough
Cairbreach, son of Hugh Oge, son of Hugh Roe O'Donnell; Donnell Ultagh, son
of the Doctor, Ollav to O'Donnell in physic; and Magroarty, who had the
custody of the Cathach of St. Columbkille. Some, however, assert that Niall
O'Donnell was slain by his own people. On the side of the Kinel-Owen fell the
son of Mac Mahon, and many others. When the son of O'Donnell (Hugh, the son
of Hugh) perceived the numbers who were opposed to him, and that his lord had
retired to a place of security, he followed him, in order to await the
arrival of relief from his people. Nor was he long in a depressed state of
mind, when he perceived numbers of his faithful people advancing towards him,
and rejoiced was he at their arrival. Thither came, in the first place, Mac
Sweeny-na-dTuath (Murrough Mall, the son of Owen Oge, son of Owen); the sons
of Mac Sweeny Fanad, Turlough Oge and Hugh Boy; and Mac Sweeny Banagh (Mulmurry,
the son of Hugh, son of Niall). And when all had arrived at one place, they
formed no very great force, for they were only four hundred in number. To
these chiefs O'Donnell complained of his distress and injuries; and he
protested to them that he would deem it more pleasing and becoming to fall
and to die in the field, than to endure the contempt and dishonour with which
he himself, his tribe, and his relations, had been treated by the Kinel-Owen,
such as his ancestors had never suffered or endured before; but more
especially the insult and indignity they had offered him on this occasion, by
violently expelling and banishing him from his fortress. All the chieftains
assented to the speech of their prince, and said that all the remarks and
sentiments he had expressed were true, so that they resolved to attack
O'Neill and his army. The resolution here adopted, of facing the great danger
and peril which awaited them, was bold, daring, obdurate, and irrational; but
the love of their protegees and inheritances prevailed in their hearts over
the love of body and life, and they marched back with unanimous courage, in a
regularly arrayed small body, and in a venomous phalanx, towards the camp, of
O'Neill. When O'Neill perceived them moving directly towards him, he became
disturbed in spirit, and he said: ‘It is very wonderful and amazing to me
that those people should not find it easier to make full concessions to us,
and submit to our awards, than thus come forward to us to be immediately
slaughtered and destroyed.’ While he was saying these words the troops of the
Kinel-Connell rushed vehemently and boldly upon the army of O'Neill; nor did
O'Neill's soldiers refuse to sustain their onset, for when they the
Kinel-Connell had come within sight of them, they began to accoutre
themselves with all possible speed. Fierce and desperate were the grim and
terrible looks that each cast at the other from their starlike eyes; they
raised the battle cry aloud, and their united shouting, when rushing
together, was sufficient to strike with dismay and turn to flight the feeble
and the unwarlike. They proceeded and continued to strike, mangle, slaughter,
and cut down one another for a long time, so that men were soon laid low,
heroes wounded, youths slain, and robust heroes mangled in the slaughter.
But, however, the Kinel-Owen were at length defeated by dint of slaughtering
and fighting, and forced to abandon the field of battle, and retreat by the
same road they had come by, though it was not easy for them to pass it at
this time, for the sea the tide had flowed into the Fearsad, which they had
crossed in the morning, so that to cross it would have been impracticable,
were it not that the vehemence of the pursuit, the fierceness, bravery, and
resoluteness of the people who were in pursuit of them, to be revenged on
them for their previous insults, enmity, and animosity, compelled them to
face it. They eagerly plunged into the swollen sea, and no one would wait for
a brother or a relation, although it was no escape from danger or peril for
them to have reached the dark, deep ocean estuary which was before them. This
was not an approach to warmth after cold, or to protection after violence,
for a countless number of them was drowned in the deep full tide, though it
would be happy for them all, as they thought, to be permitted to approach it.
Great numbers of O'Neill's army were lost here, both by slaying and drowning;
the most distinguished of whom were: Brian, the son of Henry, son of John
O'Neill, and his brother; Mac Donnell Galloglagh, constable of O'Neill, with
many of the Clann-Donnell besides; Dubhaltach O'Donnelly, O'Neill's own
foster-brother, and the person most faithful and dear to him in existence,
with a great number of his tribe; also great numbers of Muintir-Coinne and Muintir-Again.
In short, the total number of O'Neill's army that were slain and drowned in
that battle was thirteen hundred; some books however state that O'Neill's
loss in this battle was upwards of three thousand men. As for O'Neill, he
escaped from this battle; but he would rather that he had not, for his reason
and senses became deranged after it. He passed privately, unperceived by any
one of his enemies upwards along the river side towards its source, until he
crossed Ath-thairsi, a ford which is in the vicinity of Sgairbh-sholais,
under the guidance of a party of the O'Gallaghers, some of O'Donnell's own
subjects and people; and he travelled on by retired and solitary ways until
he arrived in Tyrone. There were not many houses or families, from Cairlinn
to the River Finn and to the Foyle, who had not reason for weeping, and cause
for lamentation. Great and innumerable were the spoils, comprising horses,
arms, and armour, that were left behind to the Kinel-Connell on this
occasion. This defeat of Fersad Swilly was given on the 8th day of May. |

O'Donnell
(Hugh, the son of Manus) and these chiefs who came to meet him, then held a
consultation; and the resolution which O'Donnell came to (as he felt his own
feebleness and great age) was, to resign his lordship to his son, and to
style him O'Donnell. This resolution was universally applauded by all, and
accordingly adopted, for O'Firghil the Erenagh was sent for; and he
inaugurated Hugh Roe chief of the country, by order and with the blessing of
his father; and the ceremony of conferring the name was legally performed,
and he styled him O'Donnell on the third day of May. O'Donnell
(Hugh Roe) did not permit those few troops he had then with him to disperse,
but marched them, both horse and foot, into the neighbouring parts of the
territory of the race of Eoghan, the son of Niall. No notice or forewarning
of this movement had reached the others, for they did not think that he had
perfectly recovered from his confinement; yet they did not intend to fly before the Kinel-Connell neither, indeed,
had it been their wont to do so from a remote period. By this small army of
the Kinel-Connell the neighbouring parts of Kinel-Owen were plundered and
burned; every one fit to bear arms whom they caught was put to the sword and
slaughtered. The army also seized upon many spoils, both herds and flocks,
and then returned back to their own territory. |

Another
hosting was made by O'Donnell (Hugh Roe) into Connaught, on the eighteenth
day of the month of April. He first crossed the Erne, and marched on, keeping
Lough Melvin on the right, until he arrived at Ros-inbhir, where he stopped
for that night. From thence he went to Cill-Fhearga, where he waited for the
coming up of the rear of his army. Upon their arrival they proceeded through
Breifny to Braid-Shliabh, and from thence into Machaire-Chonnacht; and such
part of it as had escaped being plundered on the former expedition was
plundered now; and they collected the preys together to him. After this he
proceeded onward with these preys and spoils, and arrived the same night in
Leitrim in Muintir-Eolais. Now
his enemies thought that he would return into Ulster; this, however, he did
not do, but privately dispatched messengers to Maguire (Hugh), requesting
that he would come to hin, in Annaly; and he sent spies before him through
the country, and ordered them to meet him at a certain place. He himself then
marched onwards, secretly and expeditiously, and arrived with his troops at
the dawn of day in the two Annalys (these were the countries of the two
O'Farrells, though the English had some time before obtained sway over them);
and one of the English, Christopher Browne by name, was then dwelling in the
chief mansion-seat of O'Farrell. The brave troops of O'Donnell and Maguire
marched from Sliabh-Cairbre to the River Inny, and set every place to which
they came in these districts in a blaze of fire, and wrapped it in a black,
heavy cloud of smoke. They took the Longford, for they had set fire to every
side and corner of it, so that it was only by the help of a rope that they
conveyed Christopher Browne and his brother-in-law, and both their wives, out
of it. Fifteen men of the hostages of that country (who had been in the
custody of the aforesaid Christopher Browne) were burned to death, who could
not be saved, in consequence of the fury and violence that prevailed. Three
other castles were also taken by O'Donnell on the same day; and on those
occasions many persons were slain and destroyed, of whom one of the freeborn
was Hubert, the son of Fergus, son of Brian O'Farrell, who was accidentally
slain by Maguire. The son of the Prior O'Reilly was taken prisoner by others
of the army. As much of the property of the country as they wished to have
was collected and gathered, and brought to them from every quarter. They then
proceeded with their preys and spoils, and pitched their camp that night in
Teallach-Dunchadha. On the next day they sent marauding parties to the
monastery of Cavan, to see whether they could get an advantage of the English
who were quartered in it; but as they did not find any of the English about
the town, they carried off every thing of value belonging to them to which
they came. They marched that night to Teallach-Eachdhach, west of
Bel-atha-Chonaill; and from thence they returned home, after the victory of
expedition on that occasion. When
the English felt satisfied that the Earl O'Neill had risen up in alliance
with O'Donnell in the war, the Lord Justice and Council sent a thousand
warriors to Iubhar-Chinn-tragha, to make war on the Kinel-Owen; and the Lord
Justice promised to follow them, and plunder and ravage the country. O'Neill
sent his messengers to O'Donnell, requesting him to come to his assistance
against the overwhelming forces that had come to oppose him. O'Donnell did
not listen inattentively to them, for he assembled his forces, and proceeded
through Tyrone, to the place where O'Neill was; upon which both went to
Fochard-Muirtheimhne. This was in the month of May. When the Lord Justice
heard that they were both in readiness there to meet him, he remained in
Dublin for that time. |

the Lord Justice had arrived with an army in Tyrone. He, thereupon, went back
