The Galls of Meath and Leinster made an inroad into Offaly, when Seaan son of Fitz Thomas, the best captain of all the Meath and Leinster Galls, was killed in a skirmish. This was the ‘drop before a shower’ for the Galls, for next day the Earl [of Desmond] and his Galls were defeated, the Earl was taken prisoner and stripped of his arms and armour and Tadc O Conchobair, his brother-in-law, conducted him out of this rout
Now as for those who had been taken to Carbury castle; the Gaels were investing them on all sides, but the men of Dublin came to their rescue and carried them off in spite of O Conchobair and all his Gaels. O Conchobair's raiding parties were ranging as far north as Tara and as far south as Naas, and the men of Brefne and Oriel were sacking and burning Meath, without being interfered with or pursued, for some time afterwards.
Tadc son of Toirrdelbach O Briain, king of Thomond, led an army across the Shannon in the summer of this year, and we have never heard of any of his race mustering a like force since the time of Brian Boruma. He bought over all the Gaels of Munster and Leinster and they were summoning him to Tara, but he turned back to his home, as was appointed, after having taken possession of the territory of Clanwilliam, and after County Limerick had been surrendered to him by the Earl [of Desmond] in return for peace, the people of Limerick (town} granting him three score marks a year for ever. After this he died in his own house of the lectual sickness, and it is generally thought that he was killed by the evil eye. Conchobar son of Toirrdelbach O Briain was made king in his stead.
