21] The kalends of January on Wednesday, and the

eighteenth of the moon; anno Domini M.ccc.xv; v.
23]
annus cycli lunaris; xiii. Indictionis.
Edward, son of the
24]
Earl of Alba, (i.e. this Edward was the son of Robert
25]
Bruce, and Earl of Carrick), came to Erinn, on the coast
26]
of Uladh in the north, with a fleet of 300 ships, and his
27]
valorous and warlike fame confounded and terrified the
28]
people of all Erinn in general, both Foreigners and Gaeidhel.
29]
And he plundered, moreover, the principal part of Uladh,
3] In fine, he obtained the hostages and
4]
sovereignty of all the province of Uladh without opposition,
5]
and consented to be proclaimed as king of Erinn. And
6]
the Gaeidhel of Erinn agreed to give him their sovereignty,
7]
and proclaimed him king of Erinn.
When Richard Burk,
8]
i.e. the Earl of Ulster, heard that Edward was advancing
9]
towards him, he assembled large armies from every direction
10]
to meet him at Ros-Comain, in the first place; and he
11]
proceeded from thence to Ath-Luain, and along Midhe and
12]
Magh-Bregh. And Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht,
13]
was along with him on this hosting. And the number
14]
of his army was about twenty battalions. However, the
15]
Foreigners on this expedition spared neither saint nor
16]
asylum, however sacred, nor territory, nor termon, without
17]
wasting and completely destroying, throughout the extent
18]
of Erinn from the Sinainn in the south to Cul-Rathain in
19]
the north, and to Inis-Eoghain. And when this great multitudinous
20]
army came together into Bregh, they saw Edmond
21]
Butler, i.e. the Justiciary of Erinn, coming to join them,
22]
having on the occasion thirty battalions well united and
23]
counted.
Nevertheless, the Earl prevented him from
24]
going in his own procession or assemblage, for he considered
25]
that he himself, together with his army, could expel
26]
Edward and the men of Alba from Erinn. The Earl was
27]
that night at Ath-Fhirdiadh, by the side of Sliabh-Bregh,
28]
and Edward Bruce, with his Ulidians and men of Alba, at
29]
Inis-Cain-mic-Deghaidh. The Earl went on the morrow in
30]
pursuit of them, and occupied a place of rest and encampment
31]
at Lugh-mhagh; and William Burk went, moreover,
32]
to obtain an advantage over Edward Bruce and the men of
33]
Alba, and a few persons were slain between them in
34]
an encounter.
As regards Edward and his forces, however,
35]
he advanced, through the persuasion of O'Neill and
36]
the other Ulidians, and proceeded on the morrow, by
12] When Edward Bruce heard of the excellence of Fedhlim
13]
O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht, he sent secret messages
14]
to him, offering him undivided power over Connacht,
15]
if he would steal away from the Earl to defend his own
16]
province. Fedhlim listened patiently to these words,
17]
and agreed with Edward on that occasion. With regard
18]
to Ruaidhri, son of Cathal Ruadh O'Conchobhair, when
19]
he perceived that Connacht had been evacuated he proceeded,
20]
accompanied by a few, eastwards through the
21]
middle of Cenel-Conaill to Cul-Rathain to converse with
22]
Edward; and he promised Edward that he would expel
23]
the Foreigners from the government of Connacht; and
24]
Edward subsequently consented that he might make war
25]
on the Foreigners, but that he should not commit spoliation
26]
or robbery on Fedhlim, or go into his land.
This was
27]
not what Ruaidhri did, however; but he assembled the men
28]
of Connacht and Breifne, and numerous gallowglasses along
29]
with them, and proceeded right into the middle of Síl-Muiredhaigh,
30]
and of Connacht likewise, and immediately
31]
burned the street-town of Sligech, and Ath-cliath-in-Chorainn,
32]
and the great castle of Cill-Comain, and Baile-tobair-Brighde,
33]
and Dun-Iomdhain with its castles, and
34]
Ros-Comain, and Rinn-duin, and the town of Ath-Luain,
35]
together with all the houses that were in every route
36]
through which he passed. And he afterwards claimed
As to Fedhlim
10]
O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht, when he heard that
11]
Ruaidhri was on his way back to Connacht, to contest
12]
the sovereignty for himself, and understood how it
13]
fared with him on his journey, he told the Earl that
14]
Ruaidhri would make war in his land in his absence;
15]
and he earnestly besought the Earl to return with him
16]
to Connacht, to defend it.
Nevertheless, he did not
17]
find the ways before him quiet, for not a day passed
18]
without a depredation or battle, in his passage through
19]
Uladh and Oirghiall, until he came to Granard, and to
20]
Coill-na-namus, to the people of John O'Ferghail, i.e.. his
21]
mother's brother, where his men were reduced in number.
22]
After their spoils had been taken away from them
23]
by the army, he permitted his chieftains and princes who
24]
were along with him on this northern expedition to go
25]
to their own homes, and submit themselves to the sovereignty
26]
of Ruaidhri, rather than they should be wanderers
27]
with him, for if I am again powerful, said
he, you
28]
shall be with me. Nevertheless, as my guardian and
29]
Ruaidhri cannot be reconciled with each other on this
30]
occasion, we shall both act together during the period of
31]
our war.
1] With regard to the Earl and William Burk, and the
2]
other Foreigners, when they saw Fedhlim not assisting
3]
them, and their own army dispersed, they turned back
4]
from Cul-Rathain to the castle of Condere. As soon as
5]
the Ultonians and men of Alba observed this, they
6]
quickly followed the Earl to Condere; and on their
7]
meeting to give battle to one another, William Burk
8]
with his knights, and the two sons of Mac-an-mhilidh,
9]
were taken prisoners there, and the Earl himself fled
10]
without delay, by regular marches, from thence until he
11]
arrived in Connacht. His Foreign friends on every side
12]
approached the Earl on his arrival, in the hope that the
13]
Earl would relieve or help them from oppression; and
14]
his Gaeidhelic friends came then together into his house
15]
in like manner. And these were the best who came
16]
there, viz., Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht,
17]
and Muirchertach O'Briain, king of Tuadh-Mumha, and
18]
Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada, king of Muinter-Maelruanaidh,
19]
and Gilbert O'Cellaigh, king of Uí-Maineall
20]
of whom had been expelled from the entire district. And
21]
when Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada observed the great
22]
number of deposed and expelled persons assembled in
23]
the same house, he was seized with shame, and he vowed
24]
that he would not again be reckoned in any house as one
25]
deposed or expelled, but that he would go by his own efforts
26]
into his country as opportunity should offer. And he went
27]
into the presence of Tadhg O'Cellaigh; and Tadhg concluded
28]
a semblance of peace on his part with Ruaidhri,
29]
for his inheritance, on condition that he should
30]
give hostages to Ruaidhri, son of Cathal. Aedh Ballach, son of
31]
Maghnus, son of Conchobhar Ruadh son of Muirchertach
32]
Muimhnech, was slain in treachery by Cathal, son of
33]
Domhnall O'Conchobhair; and Aedh son of Art, and Diarmaid,
34]
son of Simon-na-tr[acute ]gha, were also slain by them in
2] Great depredations were committed by the sons of Domhnall
3]
on Clann-Muirchertaigh on the morrow, and Maghnus
4]
son of Maghnus, and Domhnall, son of Maghnus, were slain
5]
by the sons of Domhnall whilst pursuing this prey; and
6]
Tomaltach Mac Donnchadha was furthermore taken
7]
prisoner by the same band, who went under the protection
8]
of the Foreigners after having committed these deeds.
9]
As soon as Fedhlim O'Conchobhair heard of these great
10]
exploits, he went with a few of his own confidants to
11]
where the sons of Domhnall O'Conchobhair were, viz.,
12]
Ruaidhri and Maghnus, Cathal and Muirchertach,
13]
Donnchadh and John, viz. the sons of Domhnall, son
14]
of Tadhg O'Conchobhair, together with their other
15]
brethren. When Fedhlim succeeded in joining them, subsequently,
16]
he immediately committed a great depredation
17]
on Brian O'Dubhda; and he committed a great depredation,
18]
in Airtech, on Diarmaid Gall Mac Diarmada, and
19]
killed a great number of his people, and burned his corn
20]
fields and many houses; and he committed another great
21]
depredation on the sons of Cathal O'Flannagain. The
22]
place whither this prey was conducted was to Coraidh-Chúla-Cuirc;
23]
and it could not be driven owing to the
24]
softness of the bog, the extent of the prey, and the
25]
strength and heavy number of the pursuing band; for
26]
the majority of the recruits of the Tuatha, and the forces
27]
of the sons of Cathal O'Flannagain, and Mathghamhain
28]
Mag Raghnaill, chieftain of Muinter-Eolais, with his
29]
kinsmen and muster, overtook it.
When Mac Diarmada,
30]
however, heard the noise and clamour of the prey going
31]
towards the weir, he followed the track of the prey to
32]
Culbháthar; and when he observed the prey divided
33]
and detained, (for they liked not that it should not be

It was then that Diarmaid Gall went upon Cruachan,

31]
and left neither horse nor cow in a place of security,
32]
or hiding-place, in it. And they sought for Diarmaid

16]
and Tir-Enna, and Tir-Nechtain, and Muinter-Creacháin,
17]
and Conmaicne-Dúna-móir were destroyed,
18]
both wilfully and unwilfully.
Richard Burk, i.e. the Earl
19]
of Ulster, was a wanderer throughout Erinn, without
20]
sway or power, during this year.
Numerous wonderful
21]
diseases throughout all Erinn this year, viz., a destruction
22]
of people in great number occurred in it, and famine, and
23]
various distempers. Slayings of people, and intolerable,
24]
destructive bad weather also happened in it.
25] Aedh O'Domhnaill, king of Tir-Conaill, came into Cairbre, and
26]
all the territory of Cairbre was destroyed by him through
27]
the counsel of his wife, i.e. the daughter of Maghnus
28]
O'Conchobhair; and she herself, together with all she found
29]
of the gallowglasses and the Clann-Muirchertaigh, attacked
30]
the churches of Druim-cliabh, where several of the clerics
31]
and comarbs of Druim-cliabh were plundered by her,
32]
in hoc anno.
The castle of Sligech was thrown down
33]
by O'Domhnaill on this expedition; and great spoils
34]
were found there by them.
Tadhg O'hUiginn, a man

9] Aedh O'Domhnaill and all the Cenel-Conaill mustered a
10]
large army; and they came again into Cairbre, and went
11]
to Caislen-Conchobhair on this occasion; and Ruaidhri,
12]
son of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, separated from his own
13]
brothers, and made peace with O'Domhnaill, and gave
14]
him the lordship of Cairbre. And Derbhorgaill, daughter
15]
of Maghnus O'Conchobhair, retained a band of gallowglasses,
16]
and gave them a reward for the killing of Ruaidhri,
17]
son of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, who was subsequently
18]
slain by them in violation of the relics of Tir-Conaill,
19]
which had previously been pledged to him; and great
20]
depredations were committed by the Cenel-Conaill on
21]
the inhabitants of the district of Cairbre.
A depredation
22]
by Fedhlim O'Conchobhair on the sons of the Failghech,
23]
when Richard himself was taken prisoner, and a slaughter
24]
of his people was committed. Fedhlim afterwards assembled
25]
a great army of Foreigners and Gaeidhel, including

Mac Feorais, and Maelruanaidh Mac Diarmada, and the
27]
sons of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, to contest the sovereignty
28]
with Ruaidhri, son of Cathal; and they advanced
29]
together towards Síl-Muiredhaigh. This was reported to

Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht, who was

them; and they went away without battle or conditions.
