** 1315 - “When Felim (O'Conor) heard that William Burke had arrived in Connacht from Alba (Scotland) he commanded a muster of his people to one place, to expel him (Burke). And this was the muster that came there, namely all from Es-Ruaidh,* to Echtghe:* And Donogh O'Brien, King of Thomond came in his following and muster: And O'Melaghlin, King of Meath: And O'Rourke, King af Breifne: And O'Ferrall, King of Conmaicne (Angally, now Co. Longford): And Tadgh O'Kelly, King of Hy-Many; and many more of the Kings and Chieftains of ERIN, came in his muster. And they all went to Ath-na-righ (Athenry) against William Burke, MacFeorais and the other Foreigners of Connacht: And a battle was fought between them, at the door of the town; and the Gaels were defeated there, and Felim O'Conor, King of Connaught was slain there; and Tadhg O'Kelly, King of Hy-Many, and twenty persons entitled to the sovereignty of Hy-Many fell there along with him: And Art O'Heghra (O'Hara) King of Leyney: And Melaghlin O'Dowde: And Dermot MacDermot, who was fit to be King of Moylurg: And John son of Murragh O'Madden and Murragh O'Madden: And Donnell, son of Aedh O'Concannon, King of Hy-Dermoda: And Donnell O'Boyle: And Nial Sinnach (The Fox), King of Feara-Taffia (Foxes Country, now part of Kings County): And Farrell, son of John galda O'Ferrall, William, son of Aedh oge O'Ferrall, and Thomas, son of Awley O'Ferrall: And five of the clan Donnagh were slain there: And John MacEgan, O'Conor's brehon, and Gillananaev son of O'Dolan, the standard bearer, and Thomas O'Connellan, were slain there, around their Lord. And it is not easy to tell all that were then slain of the men of Munster and the men of Meath and of the men of ERIN likewise; as the poet says

• "Many of the men of ERIN all, around the great plain,
• Many sons of Kings, whom I name not, were slain in the
• great defeat:
• Sorrowful to my heart is the conflict of the host of
• Midhe and Mumha.."

As the Anglo-Norman force sustained but little loss in this battle, it is likely that their archers at the onset showered a hail of arrows upon the Irish host who were not protected with mail armour, and shot them down in hundreds before they could get to close quarters; and that then the charge of the heavy Anglo-Norman cavalry of mail-clad knights, completed the havoc and rout of the undisciplined Gaelic hosts. This battle of Athenry must be reckoned in its effects and results as one of the most decisive battles in Ireland during the Anglo-Norman period. It fully established the De Burgh supremacy in Connaught over the native Irish there.”

The Franciscans abandoned it finally (through shortage of numbers) in 1860. Previously they lived in a small house erected on the grounds, and used as a church a part of the old building, which had been re-roofed. The Abbey or friary had been sacked and pillaged many times by the English, even as late as 1798. In the latter years, before 1860, the Franciscans commuted quite a lot between the Abbey in Galway city and Claregalway. ‘This chalice belongs to the Chaple of Clar’ that is the little church or penal chapel amid the ruins of the abbey. ‘Chaple’ was the only word that Catholics were allowed to use under the Penal Laws. Only Protestants could use the word ‘church’. This information is from Fr. M. Holland of The Abbey Galway.

Three Seventeenth Century Connacht Documents.

• * 1701 - JULIAN NOLAN, prioress of the Dominican Nunnery
• in Galway, dies at the age of ninety.

“When the town was taken by Cromwell’s forces in 1652, the nuns, with their then vicar, father Gregory O’Ferrall, went to Spain. Two only of the number survived, namely, JULIA[N] NOLAN and Maria Lynch, who returned to Galway in 1686, by direction of John Browne, provincial of the order in Ireland. On their arrival, the former was instituted prioress, and the latter sub-prioress; a house having been provided for them in the town, the community soon increased, and, before the end of two years, was effectually re-established.

In 1698 they were again dispersed. It was most deplorable, says the historian of those melancholy scenes, to witness the cries and tears of these distressed females, by which even their very persecutors were moved to compassion. The convent was converted into a barrack, but the nuns remained secretly in town, amongst their friends, under the direction of their venerable prioress, JULIA[N] NOLAN, who was released by death from all her sufferings, in 1701, at the age of ninety years, and was succeeded by the sub-prioress, Maria Lynch.”
