Conchobar Ó Briain, son of Donnchad, was slain by the Archdeacons, who are called Clann Ódo, when they attacked the house where he was drinking in Dún Eochaille in Eóganacht Bec.
Aed son of Eógan Ó Conchobuir, king of Connachta, was slain by Aed, son of Cathal Ruad Ó Conchobuir, after he had come to make a raid on the latter and to attack his encampment.
Aed, son of Cathal, was treacherously slain by Mac Uigilin, i.e. by his own constable, while he was contending for the kingship of Connachta against the foreigners, for he was a person worthy of the kingship. Connachta was without a king for the greater part of a year after that, being under the sway of William de Burgo. And the said William gave the title of king to the sons of Aed, son of Eógan; and Ruaidrí, son of Cathal, was at war with the latter and the foreigners together.

Donnchad Mac Carthaig was deposed by those nobles of Desmumu who had [previously] given loyalty to him, and in particular by the Eóganacht Caisil. And great forays were made by them in Uí Rathach against Mac Carthaig's freemen and officers, and his two sons, namely, Domnall and Tadc, were taken prisoner and were in captivity for the greater part of a half-year. And they were released on certain conditions, and his own kingship was then restored to the same Donnchad, though they [the nobles] did not take the title of king from Diarmait, on whom they had previously conferred it, and they promised full restoration to Donnchad.

War between the Condons and Roches, with burnings, raidings, and killings between them on both sides. David son of Elisrant, lord of Fir Muige, was taken prisoner by the Condons therein, but they released him to the Justiciar on the consideration that all who were outlawed on their side would obtain the king's peace and their own lands [back again].
By reason of treachery a great dissension arose between the Trícha Cét Ó mBlait and the Trícha Cét Ó Caisín, and an encounter took place, in which two or three score of the Trícha Cét Ó mBlait were slain. Immediately after that the Trícha Cét Ó mBlait gathered from all sides, from across the Sinann and from the outside, and accompanied by Donnchad Ó Briain, and by William de Burgo with a muster of the Connachta, again gave battle to the Clann Chuiléin, and Mac Con Mara, namely Donnchad son of Cú Meda, and Aed Aradach his brother, were slain. And it was Ó Cathail of Uí Fhlaithríg who beheaded Mac Con Mara, although it was the Clann Mathgamna, and Ó Gráda and certain others, according to report, who laid hands, upon him. And the said Domnall Ó Gráda was slain on the same day.
Great warfare in the same year between de Clare and Ó Briain and the Tuadmumu: Sir Richard de Clare and Diarmait, son of Donnchad Ó Briain, on the one side, were opposed by Donnchad Ó Briain and the Tuadmumu, along with William de Burgo and many of the Connachta and of the foreigners of Mide. The latter came to Bun Raite on Ascension Thursday [May 20]. about a week or a fortnight after Mac Con Mara had been slain, and gave battle in ring formation to Sir Richard de Clare and to Sir Maurice Ricebard along with a few of the foreigners of Desmumu and a few of the Gaedil. And although more of these last were slain, they were victorious, and Sir William de Burgo and about twelve or thirteen nobles of those northern foreigners were taken prisoner by them. And Sir John
Murchad, son of Mathgamain, son of Domnall Connachtach Ó Briain, committed treachery against Donnchad son of Tairdelbach Ó Briain, king of Tuadmumu, and that crime was a great calamity, for he was a prominent person with a large retinue, destructive [to enemies], and of goodly worth. Although de Clare and Diarmait were in Tuadmumu at that time on a hosting, the murder was not committed by either of them, for according to report, they had no great hand in it, as it was committed because of an old enmity. And the Tuadmumu immediately gave pledges and hostages to Diarmait and to de Clare, and Diarmait was made full king by the foreigners and the Gaedil.
Muirchertach, son of Tairdelbach, Mathgamain Ó Lochlainn, Aed Ó Conchobuir, and Lochlainn Riabach Ó Dedaid left Tuadmumu and went to Connachta, and from there were committing injuries against Tuadmumu. And the same William was released by de Clare on certain conditions, having given his word as a knight with other guarantees for the fulfilment thereof in the matter of his return to his former captivity. He did not, however, fulfil the conditions or keep his word as a knight, but came into Tuadmumu with a more numerous army, including many mercenary soldiers, to make war on de Clare and on Diarmait, and to obtain the kingship for Muirchertach. And they drove Diarmait eastwards over the Forgus, and he (William) took the hostages of Tuadmumu for Muirchertach, bringing them with him into Connachta, and he left Muirchertach in Cluain Rámfhata.

There arose at this time in the Order of the Friars Minor a dangerous sect, the members of which were called Sarabaites. They wished to deviate from the common rule of the Order, and desired (they claimed) to sweat under the rigours of a sterner life. Under the guise of religious scruple and false piety they spread the poison of their devilish ingenuity and dishonestly placed themselves, their sect, and their erroneous doctrine under the immediate protection of the Holy See and of certain members of the [Papal] Curia who supported them. On this account the Community of the Order appealed, not unadvisedly, from the aforesaid supporters and the unjust auditors (who had been appointed from among them) to the Pope and the said Council, requesting nonetheless that in the meantime the pernicious doctrine of the others, that enunciated by Friar Peter John, be wholly checked lest from the deadly draught the Lord's flock contract the disease of the erroneous leprosy.

Item. Lord Richard de Clare went to England, and immediately afterwards Muirchertach Ó Briain began warfare against Donnchad Ó Briain. He assembled a mighty army, including Lord William de Burgo, Lord Thomas Butler, and their forces, and they entered Tuadmumu, and committed many evil deeds principally in Cenél Dúngaile, for there they burned buildings, laid waste crops, killed countless cows, and forced their way into churches. Donnchad Ó Briain together with his brother Brian, and Muirchertach, son of Donnchad, was then driven from the territory to Bun Raite, and Muirchertach, son of Tairdelbach Ó Briain, took the hostages of Tuadmumu in his stead and burned much of Bun Raite. And a bare fortnight afterwards Donnchad gathered unto him the followers of Richard de Clare, and with the aid of the son of Thomas, and his own brother, and Lord Maurice Rocheford they entered Bun Raite; and Donnchad Ó Briain (himself) took a great prey from the enemy beyond Clár, where some were slain, some captured, and many despoiled. Subsequently the same Donnchad together with the English came through the whole of Tuadmumu and took hostages; and Muirchertach Ó Briain with his following, including people and their chattels, made their way to Echtge. But Lord Maurice Rocheford and Donnchad Ó Briain with his kinsmen and a very large host followed them, and on that occasion Clann Chuiléin was utterly ruined, for buildings and all crops were left in flames, and the church of Tulach was damaged and despoiled of many valuables by some wicked camp-followers.

The Scots invaded Ireland at the beginning of summer and straightway occupied much of Ulster, destroyed the town of Dún Delcan where they killed many people, and burned other surrounding towns such as Áth Fir Diad and Lugmud. Excepting homicide, however, deeds no less evil were done by an army drawn from different parts of Ireland to do battle with them, in the districts through which the units passed. When these came to the meeting-place at the fixed time which had been arranged, the Scots had retreated secretly beforehand through Ard Macha to Es Craibe on the [river] Banna. When it became necessary for the entire army of Ireland to pursue them to Carlingford and further [north], Lord Richard, earl of Ulster, both because he feared the ruin of his lands and because he believed any addition [to his own troops] to be superfluous, stated: ‘I have here,’ said he, ‘a force of my own of 36,000 or more, and it is large enough to expel an equal number from the country, or to kill them in it. And since they have invaded my territory, I deem it preferable to proceed against them at my own expense, and to employ my own force to that effect.’
This he did, for he pursued the Scots to Cúil Rathain on the river] Banna. The latter became alarmed on his approach and burned the whole town save only the monastery of the Friars Preachers, and moreover, they destroyed the bridge so as to deprive him of a suitable passage as he was about to cross over. For those waters could not be forded save at two points, and only when there was excessive drought, which nevertheless did not occur in the above year. The Earl, thus remained on the opposite bank without interference from the enemy, awaiting a fall in the level of the water or a shortage of food among his foes. One of these [expectations] came to pass, for it was reported that in the Scotch camp four quarters of a sheep fetched two shillings sterling. On account of this dearth, however, the people of the countryside, principally Ó Néill,
With a view to heartening his men the Earl eventually turned back to Coinnere to oppose the Scots; and there they and their Irish supporters suddenly charged him and his forces about midday before they were armed or prepared for battle, and they wounded and took prisoner William de Burgo along with many other nobles, whom they transported to Scotland. The Earl himself and his men took flight, since none would stand by him. And those who succeeded in crossing by Tráig in Ibuir were able to relate what disasters they had suffered there.
In the same year Ruaidhrí, son of Cathal, did homage to Edward Bruce through ill-will towards the Earl and Feidlimid Ó Conchobuir, who was with him. And after they had departed, Ruaidhrí entered Connachta, burned Sligech and destroyed Corann and Tobar Brigte, burned Ros Comáin, Dun Mór, and Loch Riach,—in short all the towns of Connachta save Áth na Ríg, Gaillim, and Clár. And Ruaidrí was accepted as king that year by all the Irish of Connachta.

In the above battle fell Tadc Ó Ceallaig, king of Uí Maine, who in his lifetime had no equal among the princes of Ireland; also Muirchertach, son of Murchad son of Mathgamain, and Murchad, son of Murchad. And with the English [in the battle] there were many Irish, such as Muirchertach, son of Tairdelbach Ó Briain, and even Mathgamain, son of Domnall Connachtach Ó Briain; and, indeed, from the betrayal of the king of Connacht, which is imputed to William de Burgo(?).
In the same year Donnchad is expelled from the kingship of Tuadmumu: the descendants of Tairdelbach entered Tuadmumu after the departure of Brian's sons (that is, when they had invaded Ciarraige), and they subjugated it while the latter were absent, the chief authors of the betrayal being chiefly Clann Chuiléin, and others.
