A Calendar of Manuscript Material relating to Ireland, 1580–1602 (Author: Richard Combus )

Preface

The following documents were published in 1867 by Daniel McCarthy (Glas) in Life and Letters of Florence Mac Carthy Reagh [...]. These letters and reports, collated here as a calendar of papers, are of value to the study of military history and the history of medicine. Examples include the accounts of Sir William Stanley's early career in the service of Elizabeth I; the Battle of the Yellow Ford and its impact in Whitehall; details of reinforcements and casualties sustained in armed conflict during the last quarter of the sixteenth century in Ireland; and medical records for James FitzGerald.1
