MacEgan entries from the Annals of Connacht

AC1225.30 Tadc O Finnachta, an officer of Aed son of Ruaidri [O Conchobair] was killed by Mac Aedacan's men on a plundering raid in this same war. [A great rebellion raised by Toirrdelbach and Aed, sons of Ruaidri [O Conchobair], and Aed O Neill, to wrest the kingship of the province from Aed mac Cathail Chrobdeirg]

AC1235.7 An Gilla Suasanach (the Mop-haired Lad) Mac Aedacain died this year.

AC1249.10 When Jordan [D'Exeter] and the Galls saw this they issued from the town against the princes. Mary wrought a miracle then; for when the princes and their followers saw the horsemen in arms and armour making towards them, horror and dread seized them and they were put to flight. Aed son of Aed O Conchobair was killed there, and Diarmait Ruad son of Cormac O Mailsechlainn, O Cellaig's two sons, Brian of the Wood son of Magnus, Carrach Insiubail son of Niall O Conchobair, Baethgalach Mac Aedacain, Mathgamain son of Tadc son of Diarmait Bachlach O Conchobair, Lochlainn O Conchobair's two sons, Domnall son of Cormac Mac Diarmata, Findanach Mac Branain, Cu Muman Mac Casurlaig and many others.

AC1260.3 Macwilliam Burke made an expedition against Fedlimid [O Conchobair]. He came to Roscommon, from where he sent a raid into Cruffon, plundering the Clann Aedacain, and another into Tir Maine, plundering many of the household of the Bishop, for they were assembled(?) at that time at Erenagh. They sacked Roscommon and destroyed its corn, but did not dare to go further north on that occasion, since Fedlim O Conchobair and his son, Aed na nGall, were in the Tuatha and [others of] Connacht in their rear, in the waste land; so that both sides decided to make peace and Macwilliam went away afterwards.

AC1273.4 Jordan d'Exeter raided the Corann, and a few of the Connacht princes came up with his party; but they were incited to an unwise move by an evil(?) man, so that Domnall son of Donnchad son of Magnus [O Conchobair] and Magnus son of Art and Oirechtach Mac Aedacain and Aed O Birn and many others were killed.

AC1309.2 Aed son of Eogan son of Ruaidri son of Aed son of Cathal Croberg, king of Connacht and eligible for his nobility, valour, generosity, form and feature for the kingship of Ireland, was killed by Aed Brefnech son of Cathal Ruad O Conchobair at Coill in Chlachain in the territory of Brefne. Many of the great men of Connacht were killed with him, such as Conchobar Mac Diarmata, Diarmait Ruad son of Tadc son of Andrias O Conchobair, Diarmait son of Cathal Carrach Mac Diarmata and Aed son of Muirchertach son of Tadc son of Maelruanaid [Mac Diarmata]. And of the Eastern party there fell on that same day Diarmait Oc O hElide, a noble loyal princely yeoman, Maeldomnaig the Gallowglass, Gilla na Naem Mac Aedacain, ollav of Connacht in Law and a universal master equally skilled in all arts, Fagurtach O Dobailein of the household of Mac Donnchada and many others besides these. The losses on both sides were not less than a hundred. Aed Brefnech came into the country afterwards and the Three Tuatha submitted to him.

AC1316.5 But on hearing that William Burke had come into Connacht from Scotland, Feidlim called upon his subjects to assemble an army to expel him; and the army was assembled from all the region between Assaroe and Aughty. Moreover Donnchad O Briain, king of Thomond, came with his assembled host, and O Maelsechlainn, king of Meath, O Ruairc, king of Brefne, O Fergail, king of the Conmaicne, Tadc O Cellaig, king of Ui Maine, and many more of the kings' and chieftains' sons of Ireland assembled to him. And they all marched to Athenry to oppose William Burke, Mac Feorais, and the other Connacht Galls, and joined battle with them in front of the town. The Gaels were defeated and Feidlim O Conchobair, who was king of Connacht and entitled to become King of Ireland without opposition, was killed there and Tadc O Cellaig, king of Ui Maine fell with him, together with twenty-eight men who were entitled to succeed to the kingship of Ui Maine. Magnus son of Domnall O Conchobair, tanist of Connacht, was killed, as were Art O hEgra, king of Leyney, Maelsechlainn Carrach O Dubda, Muirchertach son of Conchobar O Dubda, Conchobar Oc O Dubda, Diarmait Mac Diarmata, an eligible prince of Moylurg, Muirchertach son of Taichlech Mac Diarmata, Muirchertach son of Diarmait son of Fergal [Mac Diarmata], Maelsechlainn Oc Mac Magnusa, Sean son of Murchad O Matadain, Domnall son of Aed O Con Chenainn, king of the Ui Diarmata, and Muirchertach his brother, Murchad O Matadain, Domnall O Baigill, Donnchad O Mailmuaid and his followers, the son of Murchad Mag Mathgamna and a hundred of his men, Niall Sinnach, king of Tethba, and his followers, Fergal son of Seoan Gallda O Fergail, Uilliam son of Aed Oc O Fergail, Tomas son of Amlaib O Fergail. Five of the Clann Donnchaid fell there, viz. Tomaltach son of Gilla Crist Mac Donnchaid, Murchad Mac Donnchaid, Conchobar son of Tadc, Muirchertach and Maelsechlainn Mac Donnchaid. Eoin Mac Aedacain, brehon to O Conchobair, Gilla na Naem son of Dail re Docair O Dobailein, the standardbearer, and Tomas O Conallain fell around their lord. Moreover it is hard to say how many of the men of Munster and of Meath and of Ireland generally were killed there; in the words of the poet: ‘Many of the men of all Ireland [lay dead] about that great field; many a king's son, whom I name not, of the Meath and Munster hosts was filled in that great rout; my heart rues the fight.’ These deeds were done on the day of St. Laurence Martyr. Fedlimid was a man of twenty-three when he was killed, and he reigned for five years till Ruaidri son of Cathal usurped the kingship from him for half a year, and he reigned again for half a year after Ruaidri's death till he was slain in this battle of Athenry.

AC1317.9 Mael Isa Ruad Mac Aedacain, a master Brehon in the ancient law, died.

AC1320.2 An important meeting between Cathal O Conchobair and Maelruanaid Mac Diarmata, where they made a wise and friendly peace. Afterwards Mac Diarmata came [back] into the country and this Cathal acted treacherously towards him and he was captured at Mullach Doramnach and his wife, Graine daughter of Mac Magnusa, at Rockingham. The countryside was then ravaged and Mael Isa Donn Mac Aedacain and his son and Tomaltach Mac Donnchada, lord of Tirerrill, were also captured.

MacEgan entries from the Annals of Loch Ce

LC1225.42 Tadhg O'Finnachta, a man of trust to Aedh, son of Ruaidhri, was killed by the people of Mac Aedhagain, while on a scouting party in the same war.

LC1249.13 When Jordan and the Foreigners observed this, they came out of the town against these kings' sons; and Mary performed manifest miracles there; for when the kings' sons, with their people, saw the terrible mail-clad cavalry coming towards them out of the town, prodigious fear and terror seized them at the sight, and they were routed; and Aedh, son of Aedh O'Conchobhair, was slain there, and Diarmaid Ruadh, son of Cormac O'Maelsechlainn; and two sons of O'Cellaigh; and Brian-in-doire, son of Maghnus; and Carrach-ind-shibhail, son of Niall O'Conchobhair; and Baethghalach Mac Aedhagain; and the son of Diarmaid Bachlach O'Conchobhair, i.e. Mathghamhain, grandson of Tadhg; and the two sons of Lochlainn O'Conchobhair; and Domhnall, son of Cormac Mac Diarmada; and the Finnanach Mac Branain; and Cumumhan Mac Casarlaigh; and many other persons along with them.

LC1260.2 A hosting by Mac William Burk against Fedhlim O'Conchobhair, when he went to Ros-Comain; and he sent a predatory band into Crumhthonn, who plundered Clann-Aedhagain; and he sent another predatory band into Tir-Maine, who plundered several of the Bishop's people, for they were at that time at Port-Airenach. They plundered Ros-Comain, and destroyed its corn, but they dared not go northwards past Ros-Comain on this occasion, for Fedhlim O'Conchobhair and his son, i.e. Aedh na-nGall, were in the Tuatha, and the cows of Connacht were behind them in the wilderness. And the resolution both parties adopted was to make peace with one another; and Mac William afterwards returned home.

LC1273.3 A depredation was committed in the Corann by Jordan de Exeter, when a few of the sons of kings of Connacht overtook them; but they adopted an imprudent resolution at the suggestion of their people, so that Domhnall, son of Donnchadh, son of Maghnus, and Maghnus, son of Art, and Oirechtach Mac Aedhagain, and Aedh O'Birn, et alii multi, were slain.

LC1309.1 Aedh, son of Eoghan, son of Ruaidhri, son of Aedh, son of Cathal Crobhderg, king of Connacht—and one fit to be king of Erinn and other lands for nobility, and bounty, and prowess, for figure and comeliness—was slain by Aedh Breifnech, son of Cathal Ruadh O'Conchobhair, in Coill-in-chlachain in the territory of Breifne; and many more of the nobles of Connacht were slain along with him, viz., Conchobhar Mac Diarmada, and Diarmaid Ruadh, son of Tadhg, son of Andrias O'Conchobhair; and Diarmaid, son of Cathal Carrach Mac Diarmada; and Aedh, son of Muirchertach, son of Tadhg, son of Maelruanaidh; and Diarmaid Og O'hElidhe, a wealthy, generous, dignified prince-farmer, and Maeldomhnaigh Galloglaech; and Gilla-na-naemh Mac Aedhagain, chief professor of Connacht in law, and a man equally eminent in all other sciences, fell by the eastern party on the same day, and Foghartach O'Dobhailen by the household band of Tomaltach Mac Donnchadha; and many other persons fell along with these. And the loss on both sides was not less than one hundred. Aedh Breifnech came into the district afterwards, and the 'Three Tuatha' went into his house.

LC1316.3 Fedhlim afterwards plundered the favorites of Ruaidhri O'Conchobhair, and then assumed himself the sovereignty of Connacht from Es-Ruaidh to Echtghe. And he seized the territory of the Uí-Briuin-Breifne, and took choice hostages from them, and made Ualgharg O'Ruairc king over them; and he took the hostages of Clann-Cellaigh, and O'Madadhain, and Uí-Diarmada, and O'hEghra, and O'Dubhda. And he afterwards went to expel the Foreigners of the West of Connacht; and Baile-Atha-lethain was burned by him, and Stephen de Exeter, and Miles Cogan, and William Prendergast, and John Staunton, were slain there, (viz., these were noble knights); and William Laighleis was slain there, and a countless multitude 2[along with them. And the entire country was plundered and burned by him, from the castle of the Corran to Rodhba, both church and territory; and he returned home afterwards with gladness, and with great spoils. And they went forthwith to Milic-na-Sinda, to meet the people of Leth-Modha; and he burned and demolished the castle of Milic; and Muirchertach O'Briain, king of Tuadh-Mumha, went into his house there, the descendants of Brian Ruadh being opposed to each other. And he turned back to Ros-Comain, to demolish it. And when Fedhlim heard that William Burk had arrived in Connacht from Alba, he commanded a muster of his people to one place, to expel him. And this was the muster that came there, viz., all from Es-Ruaidh to Echtghe. And Donnchadh O'Briain, king of Tuadh-Mumha, came in his following and muster; and O'Maelechlainn, king of Midhe; and O'Ruairc, king of Breifne; and O'Ferghail, king of Conmaicne; and Tadhg O'Cellaigh, king of Uí-Maine, and many more of the sons of kings and chieftains of Erinn, came in his muster. And they all went to Ath-na-righ, against William Burk, Mac Feorais, and the other Foreigners of Connacht; and a battle was fought between them at the door of the town, and the Gaeidhel were defeated there, and Feidlilimidh O'Conchobhair, king of Connacht, and undisputed heir presumptive to the sovereignty of Erinn, was slain there, and Tadhg O'Cellaigh, king of Uí-Maine, and twenty-eight persons entitled to the sovereignty of Uí-Maine, fell there along with him; and Maghnus, son of Domhnall O'Conchobhair, tanist of Connacht; and Art O'hEghra, king of Luighne; and Maelechlainn Carrach O'Dubhda and Muirchertach, son of Conchobhar O'Dubhda; and Conchobhar Og O'Dubhda; and Diarmaid Mac Diarmada, who was fit to be king of Magh-Luirg; and Muirchertach, son of Taichlech Mac Diarmada; and Muirchertach, son of Diarmaid, son of Ferghal; and Maelechlainn Og Mac Maghnusa; and John, son of Murchadh O'Madadhain; and Domhnall, son of Aedh O'Concennainn, king of Uí-Diarmada, and his brother Muirchertach along with him; and Murchadh O'Madadhain; and Domhnall O'Baighill; and Donnchadh O'Maelmhuaidh, together with his people; and the son of Murchadh Mac Mathghamhna, and one hundred of his people along with him; and Niall Sinnach, king of Feara-Tethbha, with his people; and Ferghal, son of John Gallda O'Ferghail; and William, son of Aedh Og O'Ferghail; and Thomas, son of Amhlaibh O'Ferghail. And five of the Clann-Donnchaidh were also slain there, viz. Tomaltach, son of Gilla-Christ Mac Donnchaidh, and Murchadh Mac Donnchaidh, and Conchobhar son of Tadhg, and Muirchertach and Maelsechlainn Mac Donnchaidh. And John Mac Aedhagan, O'Conchobhair's brehon, and Gilla-na-naemh, son of Dal-redochair O'Dobhailen, the standard bearer, and Thomas O'Conallan, were slain there around their lord. And not alone this; but it is not easy to tell all that were then slain of Momonians and Meathians, and of the men of Erinn likewise, ut dixit the poet:

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.

On the day of St. Laurence the martyr these deeds were committed; and Fedhlimidh was twenty-three years old when slain; and he had been five years in the sovereignty of Connacht when Ruaidhri, son of Cathal Ruadh, assumed it in opposition to him during the space of half a year; and he was another half year after Ruaidhri in the sovereignty until he was slain in this battle of Ath-na-righ.

LC1320.1 A great meeting between Cathal O'Conchobhair and Maelruanaigh Mac Diarmada, when they made a prudent, friendly peace; and Mac Diarmada afterwards came into the country. Treachery was practised by the same Cathal against Mac Diarmada on Mullach-Toramhnach, and he was taken prisoner there; and Grainne, Mac Maghnusa's daughter, Mac Diarmada's wife, was taken prisoner at Port-na-Cairgi; and the country was completely plundered afterwards; and Mael-Isa Donn Mac Aedhagain, and his son, and Tomaltach Mac Donnchaidh, lord of Tir-Oilella, were also taken prisoners there.

MacEgan entries from the Annals of the Four Masters

M1225.23 Flann, the son of Auliffe O'Fallon, Chief of Clann-Uadagh, was slain by Felim, the son of Cathal Crovderg, in this war; and Teige O'Finaghty, one of the officers Aes graidh of Hugh, the son of Roderic, was slain by the people of Mac Egan during the same war.

M1249.11 An army was led by the Roydamnas heirs presumptive of Connaught, namely, Turlough and Hugh, two sons of Hugh, the son of Cathal Crovderg, to Athenry, on Lady Day in mid-autumn, to burn and plunder it. The sheriff of Connaught was in the town before them, with a great number of the English. The English demanded a truce for that day from the sons of the King of Connaught, in honour of the Blessed virgin Mary, it being her festival day; but this they did not obtain from them; and although Turlough forbade his troops to assault the town, the chiefs of the army would not consent, but determined to make the attack, in spite of him. When Jordan and the English saw this, they marched out of the town, armed and clad in mail, against the Irish army. The youths of the latter army, on seeing them drawn up in battle array, were seized with fear and dismay, so that they were routed; and this was through the miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary, on whose festival they had refused to grant the truce demanded from them. Of their chiefs were here killed Hugh, son of Hugh O'Conor; Dermot Roe, son of Cormac O'Melaghlin, the two sons of O'Kelly; Brian an Doire, the son of Manus; Carragh Inshiubhail, son of Niall O'Conor; Boethius Mac Egan; the two sons of Loughlin O'Conor; Donnell, son of Cormac Mac Dermot; Finnanach Mac Branan; Cumumhan Mac Cassarly, and others besides.

M1273.4 A depredation was committed by Jordan d'Exeter in Corran. A few of the young princes of Connaught overtook him; but these having adopted an imprudent plan, suggested by some of the common people, it fell out that Donnell, son of Donough, Manus, son of Art O'Conor, Aireaghtagh Mac Egan, Hugh O'Beirne, and many others, were slain.
