1] 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.
A 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.
The festival of Gregory
8]
before shrovetide in this year, and Little Easter in
9]
summer, which had not been noticed from a remote time.
10] 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
29] Great,indeed, was the multitude and assemblage that
30]
came thither. Warlike and haughty was the uprising they
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
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
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

27]

29]
wounding of that battle, of the Gaeidhel, Brian, son of
30]

31]
of Erinn, and of the Foreigners of Britain, and the
32]
Augustus of the whole north-west of Europe, and his son,
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]

27]
and bore from thence the bodies of Brian and his
