committed by the Muinter-Birn on Hubert de Burgh and portion of his 
gallowglasses were killed under the Constable, namely, under Mac Ruaidhri. 
Great loss and evil excessive and general war arose through that in all 
Connacht. And the Clann-Muircertaigh rose out with O'Concobuir in the 
beginning against Mac Diarmata and they turned again with Mac William

Domnall Ua Dochartaigh, arch-chief of Ard-Midhair—and it is not this

Eogain and the lordship of the Cantred of Tir-hEnna and there was scarcely 
in Ireland a chief that had more people and a larger horse-host and better 
spirit and valour, hospitality and bestowal than he—and he died in the centre 
of his own house and John Ua Dochartaigh took his place.
U1339.9

The Sil-Muiredhaigh, some willingly and some by constraint, disowned the 
king of Connacht, namely, Toirdelbach, son of Aedh, son of Eogan Ua 
Concobuir. And these are the chiefest that rose against him: Edmond Mac 
William de Burgh and Concobur Mac Diarmata, king of Magh-Luirg, with 
their kinsmen and with their sept. And Aedh, son of Aedh the Brefnian, son 
of Cathal [Ua Conchobair] the Red and the muster of the Breifni and the 
Conmaicni along with them and Aedh, son Feidhlimidh [Ua Conchobair], 
king of Connacht. And he was expelled from the country by those allies. 
And this is the advice his friends [then] gave him: to go to the house of Mac 
Diarmata by night. And the Clann-Muircertaigh

p.473
got tidings thereof and they lay in wait on the roads and on the paths and on 
the gaps of danger of the fortress. And he came through those in the night, 
owing to the darkness, [with] two or three horsemen. And an attack was 
made on him on the causeway of the fortress and he came [safe] from them 
by virtue of his strong hand and he injured Cathal, son of Aedh the Brefnian. 
And news thereof reached not Mac Diarmata, until he heard the frays and the 
execration a-doing throughout the fortress. Thus was it with them till the 
morrow. And on Mac Diarmata receiving tale thereof, be sent trusty persons 
to him to put him into the Rock. And he was the greater part of a week 
therein. And the noble persons of the country used to go secretly every day 
to him. And if it had been done for Mac Diarmata, peace would have been 
made with him. And, as it was not made, he [Mac Diarmata] escorted him to 
the castle of Ros-Comain and left him there.

battle-vigour, for nobility and for gentleness, for humanity and good piety—
was killed by Niall Ua Domnaill, [namely] by the son of his own father, after 
assaulting his fortress. And [his death happened thus:] fires and brands were 
put into the palace. And O'Domnaill came out and fell in the door of his own 
house, after gaining victory from world and from demon. And orphaned are

Concobur Mac Diarmata, king of Magh-Luirg and Airtech and Tir-Oilella 
and Tir-Tuathail and the Renna and the seven towns of Clann-Cathail and a 
man with whom a contest was not entered upon without his wresting 
superiority from every one that engaged with him—for the authors of this

and for sense, for renown and for substantial bestowal, for generosity and 
for prowess, for disposition and for true nobleness, so that no one was to be 
vaunted of beside him of the Gaidhilic stock in his own time. Hence, to 
certify that, the poet said this poem in his own art:

p.479
Stanza:

         1. If I had made a vaunt of him,
            Mac Diarmata and I made [it] not,
            Headship of Tara and of the Clan of Conn
            To the chief of Berbha I should give.
         2. I see not in Inis-Fail
            A man to be compared to him;
            There is not as far as the house of Cenn-choradh
            One whom Concobur surpassed not.
         3. Vaunting shall not be done by me
            Before the Men of Ireland out of that,—
            Without vaunting he obtained the pledge
            Of the host of the fair surface of Ireland.—

the death of that sub-king [took place] in the great house of the Rock, after 
gaining victory from world and from demon, a week before November-Day, 
Saturday precisely, and he was buried in the Monastery of the Buill. And

         1. Brian Mag Tigernain of the contests,
            With his hospitality comparison were not just
            He practised hospitality without reward,
            Heaven was the end of his battle-career.

U1362.8

Brian, son of Aedh Mag Mathgamna, took the kingship of Oirghialla and 
marriage-alliance and friendship were contracted by him with Somairle, son 
of John Mac

p.521
Domnaill the Black, [namely,] with the Constable of the Fifth of Ulster, so 
that he forced him to abandon the daughter of Ua Raighillaigh and gave his 
own daughter to him. Shortly after that, he [Brian] brought him to himself 
into his own house to drink wine. And when that person expected to obtain 
the wine, the bidding he got was that Brian himself wound his two hands 
about him and he was seized rudely, contumeliously and carried out—and 
the few of his people [that were] in his company—so that his feet and hands 
were made fast and tied together and he was put into a lake. And tidings of 
him are not known from that out. Bands were despatched throughout the 
country and wherever his people were found, they were slain and plundered. 
Woe the world and land and water wherein was submerged the noble, well-
born offspring, to wit, one who was to be king of Insi-Gall [Hebridesl, 
namely, the son of John the Black, son of Alexander. As [the poet] said: 
Stanza:

         1. This [is] the lake wherein was put an innocent one,
            Somuirle of the sharp-pointed spears,
            Mid merriment and noise and laughter,
            For it is wine 'neath which he was submerged.

Not an evil without retribution [even] for a very short time was that evil. For 
Domnall, son of Aedh Ua Neill and Toirdelbach Ua Neill mustered and gave 
large donatives and brotherhood and peace to the clan of Aedh Ua Neill the 
Tawny, namely, to Brian, son of Henry Ua Neill, together with his kinsmen. 
And there came likewise into that muster Niall, son of Murchadh, son of 
Murchadh Mor Mag Mathgamna; brother of the mother

p.523
of Mac Domnaill and half-king of Oirgialla was this person. And there came 
what was in the Fifth of Ulster of the Clann-Domnaill, under Toirdelbach 
Mor Mac Domnaill and under his son, [namely,] under Alexander and under 
the son of Somairle himself, that is, under John junior and they betook 
themselves to attack Rath-tulach, that is, the fortress of Mag Mathgamna. 
And word came before them and they [the garrison] abandoned the place 
and defeat with loss of moveables was inflicted on them and they were not 
desisted from in pursuit until they reached Loch-Eirne, so that their chattel 
and their cattle were simultaneously seized completely by the Fir-Manach 
and by the [allied] host. Thus Brian Mag Mathgamna was expelled from out 
the country into the protection of Muinter-Mailmordha and his wife and his 
daughter were captured.

that chief went to join Niall Ua Neill. The rear of the migrating forces was 
overtaken. And Ragnall, son of Alexander, that is, the heir of the Clann-
Alexandair, came from Innsi-Gall about that time to Niall Ua Neill. The 
kerns of the two parties met with one another, that is, the [whole] sept of the 
Clann-Domnaill. And Raghnall sent messengers to where his own kinsman, 
namely, Toirdelbach and his son, to wit, Alexander, were, and he asked in 
honour of the seniority and of the brotherhood not to come against him. And 
no attention was paid to him and respite was not given to him, but they 
advanced up to the ford whereon they saw Raghnall and they gave

p.527
battle to one another. And the son of Raghnall was slain and wounded 
between them. And Alexander Mac Domnaill was taken prisoner at the same 
ford. And it was the wish of the people of Raghnall to kill him: but Raghnall 
did not allow them; for he said that the loss of his son and kinsman should 
not be upon him. And Mac Cathmail with his horse-host was pressing upon 
the horsehost of Domnall Ua Neill and O'Neill himself overtook them . . and 
Domnall took the rear of his own horse-host and brought them [safe] with 
him. And many of his people were wounded and killed.

with the Clann-Ricaird and they were the greater part of a quarter [of a year]
