1406 First of January on Friday and the first day of the moon, MCCCCVI. First year of the Lunar Cycle; fourteenth of the Indiction; twenty-sixth of the Solar Cycle. Common year. C.
Laigsech O Nuallain, eligible prince of Forth, Aed O Tuathail, eligible prince of the Ui Mail, Bran O Broin, eligible prince of the Ui Faelain, and Domnall son of Tomas Mac Murchada died of the plague this year.
Maelruanaid son of Tadc Mac Donnchada, king of Tirerrill, died in his own house after a victory of Unction and Penance and was buried in the monastery of Boyle this year.
Murchad O Conchobair, king of Offaly, with his sons and family, and with Cathal Dub and Tadc, two sons of the king of Connacht, and a few of their mounted men (for these two princes were then on a visit to O Conchobair in Offaly) inflicted a very heavy defeat on the Meath Galls and on Eogan son of the Abbot O Conchobair with the hired troops of Connacht. These two armies both went into Upper Geashill, and the Abbots' son proceeded with his own force to Cluain Immorrais, to the house of Gilla Buide Mac Maelcorra; and on my word it would have been better for them if they had not. For there Calbach the son of Murchad O Conchobair and Cathal [Dub] O Conchobair with six horsemen came upon them, and Gilla Buide, seeing Calbach's cauldron, which he had borrowed for making ale, on the back of a youth of the army, said: I give you notice of your cauldron, Calbach! I accept it! said Calbach. One of the pursuers threw a stone with sure aim, so that it struck the bottom of the cauldron, and this caused the army to take to flight. Not only was the Abbot's son killed on the moor to the north of that house, but their loss in men was not less than three hundred between that spot and Cloonany in Crinegedach, as we hear it generally reported. For this slaughtering was kept up from Cluain Immorrais to Cloonany and the most valued relic of all Connacht was taken from them that day, the Buacach of Patrick which used to be at Elphin. On the sixth of the Ides of July according to the day of the solar month, and on a Saturday according to the day of the week these things were done, that is to say, on the tenth day of the month of July.
Tadc son of Donnchad O Birn, chieftain of Tir Briuin na Sinna, died on the fourth of the Ides of November, according to the day of the solar month, and on a Wednesday according to the day of the week, that is, the day before the feast of St. Martin.
Toirrdelbach Oc son of Aed son of Toirrdelbach, king of Connacht for twenty-two years in joint sovranty with O Conchobair Ruad, was killed by Cathal Dub son of O Conchobair
