1581 - 1585 AD
1581 AD Conor O Brien the English appointed third Earl of Thomond, a son of Donogh - the Fat O Brien the previous second English appointed Earl of Thomond, died at 45 years of age, and his body was interred in the Ennis Abbey in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province and Donogh O Brien, his eldest son, became the next English appointed fourth Earl of Thomond who had been educated in England as an Episcopalian for an English purpose and this was to mean that both he and his father were to do nothing for the Dalcassian people in the kingdom of Thomond / Northern Munster, as they continued on only acting as lackeys for the English authorities in the Dublin Castle (The Devil's 1/2 acre).
Elizabeth 1st
the Welsh Tudor English Queen
now
instructed
Captain
Malby her
English President / Governor in the
Connacht Province to
divide
Co. Clare into
English Baronies, and the town of
Ennis was
chosen to carry out the English
Assizes against the
Irish Heberian Dal gCais Septs
there and in the north - west of there he
was also to destroy the
Moygara Castle
with the assistance of
Scottish
mercenaries in the kingdom and territory of the
Heberian Cianacht O Garas, the
Kings of
Moygara
and
Coolavin in Co.
Sligo in the mid - west of Connacht.
Malby's
son, much later on in the early 17th Century AD
would be
killed in a battle at
Aughrim there in
Co. Galway
in Southern Connacht, by
Donnell
Cam
O Sullivan
who would then be the
Heberian Eoghanacht
King
of Beare Haven who was to have his kingdom and territory in Co. Cork in Southern
Munster, from which he would by then be also
driven out of by the English onslaught on the
Munster Province as at that
particular time 1,000 members of the
Clann O Sullivan,
including men,
women and children, would be on their way up to the
Ulster Province in the north of
Ireland, while trying to
escape the English savagery and unbelievable brutality being carried out at that
time also on the population there in Munster.
Donnell Cam O Sullivan during this long march to the north was hoping to join up with, and receive, the
protection of
126.Aedh Dubh
/ Black Hugh O Niall
who would then be the
Dal Cuinn "northern"
Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain King
who after previously finding out his true Irish
heritage would by then also be carrying out the
sixth and last
Irish
rebellion against the never
ending ethnic and religious
oppressions of Elizabeth 1st in
Ireland.
Meanwhile during this year Donogh Beg - the Small O Brian had taken part in the recent Irish rebellion under Mac William Burke the English Earl of Clann Rickarde, and was by now being held captive by Cruise O Brien the English appointed Sheriff of Co. Clare, who delivered him up in Quin to Sir John Perrot the English Lord Deputy who was an illegitimate half - brother to Elizabeth 1st as he was a son of Henry V111, who was naturally therefore inflicted with his outlook also, and at first with pure saveragy he half - hung Donogh Beg O Brian and then crushed and mangled his body with blows from a heavy axe, and with most of the bones in his body by then broken he had him dragged up to the tower in Quin Abbey and tied on the roof for the birds to finish off his mortal remains.
Dermot O
Hurley from the Heberian Dal gCais
Ui Bloid Sept was appointed the
Catholic Archbishop of
Cashel in
Co. Tipperary in the
Munster Province by Pope Gregory X111.
1582 AD Felix O Hara, from the Heberian Cianacht Sept, who was a Franciscan friar, was hung and quartered by the English authorities under the direction of Elizabeth 1st.
Maolin Mac Brody from the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Sept, who was a son of Conor Mac Brody the son of Dermod Mac Brody the son of John Mac Brody the Professor of History to the Heberian Dal gCais mBriain Ui Bloid O Briens, died, and his brother, Giolla Bride Mac Brody became his successor.
Mac William Burke / de Burgh
the English second Earl of Clann Rickarde,
died, who during his lifetime had been the husband of
4 legal wives, while
Turlogh O Donnell had been married
10 times, and
John the Lord of Leitrim
had produced a son from his own sister, and also during this particular period of
untold misery,
"Bottle" Smith
was the Official Poisoner
for Elizabeth 1st's English
Government authorities in
the
Dublin Castle (The Devil's 1/2 acre).
At
this time Gerald
Fitz Gerald the
English sixteenth Earl of Desmond
had been forced to hide out in the
caves in
Co. Kerry
in the south - west of the Munster Province,
where he was to be eventually betrayed by his own kinsman,
Edmond Fitz Gerald who was from
Killmallock / Cill Mocheallog overlooking
Loch Coumshinguun in
Co. Waterford in the
Golden Vale in the south - east of Munster
and this would ensure that
Edmond Fitz Gerald would be the
last
White Knight from his male line after he was to receive
1,000 pounds from
Elizabeth
1st
the Welsh Tudor Queen of England
for betraying his kinsman, and as a result of his
disgrace his
descendants were to change their name to Fitz Gibbon.
1583 AD November:
The last effectual
leader of the
Fitz Geralds was
to be killed this month and the remaining
Fitz Gerald / Gherardini Anglo - Irish
Catholic kinsmen were
to then
slowly be forced to submit in the final stages of the overall English
Elizabethan 1st extermination of this tried and tested family who had served England
so well over the previous Centuries in
Ireland, while also remaining true to themselves and their
Catholic beliefs and in the future, in the Tower of London, 32 names of
members of their family
would be found on a parchment, as either being Executed or
Attainted (Off with their
heads.) The now "aged"
Gerald Fitz Gerald the
sixteenth and last
Catholic Earl of Desmond, who had been
previously imprisoned in English jails
for over 25 years,
was now hiding
out in what he thought was his area of strongest support in the woods of
Glenaginty above
Tralee in
Co. Kerry
in the south - west of the
Munster Province
where he was constantly in fear of his life. Needing supplies to survive he
had sent out a party to obtain provisions, but unfortunately those he had sent out were to not only pick on
Moriarty's cattle,
but
also insulted his family, and because of this
Moriarty swore revenge on the
Earl of Desmond and obtained
English Militia to seek him out,
and an
O Kelly was also involved to track him down.
They followed his cattle's trail to
Glean na Geenty
/ Gleanaguanta
(The Glen of Gentiles),
which was 5 mile
to the east of
Tralee
on the
Co. Kerry / Co. Cork
border were they took him prisoner and sent him
onto
Thomas Butler the
English tenth Earl of Ormonde who
not only hung him, but also
cut off his head
and sent it over to
Elizabeth 1st the
Welsh Tudor Queen of Engl;and ,
who
rewarded them all with gold and put his head on display on the
London Bridge. When the
local people in Ireland came across his headless body they hid it
to save him from further desecration and buried it at
Kilananina
/ Coill an Anma
(The Wood of the Soul) in what is now known as Desmond's Grave there, near the
altar, where there is an ancient
church
and only those of
Desmond blood
were interred, including many of the
Fitz Geralds,
the Gaelic Ithian
O Flynns,
the Gaelic Milesian Irian
O Loughlins,
the
Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch
O Egans and one
O Rahilly. The
last of the
Irish
Septs
there were to submit as this particular
"Desmond Rebellion"
against the never - ending oppression of Elizabeth 1st was bought to an end, while the westerly winds near
Tralee
are now known as
"Desmond's
Howl." (His tracker
O Kelly was to also meet an
unfortunate end
when he was eventually hung for highway
robbery at
Tyburn).
Elizabeth 1st the Welsh Tudor Queen of England's advisors, Burghley, Walsingham, Sir Humphrey Gilbert and his half - brother Sir Walter Raleigh drew up plans to introduce further English Episcopalian planters into the Munster Province, while Gerald Fitz Gerald's castle and Estates were confiscated by Elizabeth 1st and given over to Sir Edward Denny, but later on in the 17th Century AD the castle there was to be taken over by the Irish Confederacy for 2 years until Murrogh O Brien - of the Burnings who at that time was to be the English appointed Lord of Inchiquin, who had also been Episcopalian reared in England for an English purpose, was by then fighting on the side of the English Puritan Parliament to try and capture the castle, which was to force the Irish Septs in the region to burn the castle along with the town) In the meantime, Elizabeth 1st had Gerald Fitz Gerald's son, the young Earl of Desmond, taken to England and put in the Tower of London also, where he too was to be Episcopalian reared and then shown later to the people in England as a stunted individual with an enfeebled mind.
The Dingle / Daingean area in Co. Kerry in the south - west of the Munster Province had been the original territory of the O Cush / Mac Coise / Ui Cuis Kings before the Anglo - Norman Invasion, but by this period in time it was held by the Husseys / de Hosey under the previous protection of the Fitz Geralds, but Elizabeth 1st gave it over also to Thomas Butler the tenth English Earl of Ormonde who had previously put the whole of the Irish population in that particular region to the sword. (The Anglo - Irish / Old English in the area there were also seen by the English authorities in the Dublin Castle (The Devil's 1/2 Acre) as not to be trusted, as they were now considered "More Irish than the Irish)."
The Heberian Eoghanacht Raithlind Cenel Aodha O Mahonys of Micheltown, who were descended initially from 110.Cian the Heberian Eoghanacht Raithlind Prince / Tanaiste and 106.Sadbh the daughter of *105.Brian Boru the Heberian Dal gCais 175th King of Ireland had turned Episcopalian also to try and hold onto their kingdom and territory there, but although they had conformed to "survive" at this earlier time they too had their territory there confiscated and given over to the Kingstons who were English Episcopalian planter Land Lords, but despite this in the 19th Century they would produce the first Fenian in John O Mahony. At this earlier period, Elizabeth 1st also appointed an English President in the Connacht Province who changed all of the Irish land titles to English titles to suite her agenda.
Edgeworth
was put in as the
Episcopalian Bishop of Down
and
Connor in the south -
east of the Ulster Province who was
to become the ancestor of
Maria Edgeworth, who would be
the future author of "Castle Rackrent," which was to outline the
terrible treatment carried out by this new breed of Ascendancy Land Lord's on their
Irish tenants and his
initial appointment saw the
beginning of the
Edgeworth prominence
in
Ireland, and
the setting up of
Edgeworth town / Meathus Truim in
Co. Longford in the north - west of
Northern
Leinster.
1584 AD June 19th:
Dermott
O Hurley
/ Diarmait Ua hUrthuile the
Heberian Dal gCais
Ui Bloid Catholic
Archbishop of
Cashel
in
Co. Tipperary
in the north - east of the
Munster Province
for the past two years
was
also physically tortured at this time and then executed by the
English
Military
forces
outside of
Dublin
for also refusing to acknowledge
Elizabeth
1st as Supreme and the
English Episcopalian religion
in
Ireland
and being true to their previous
acts of inhumane savagery they had first put his feet into tin
boots, which they then filled with oil and locked him in stocks, and lit a fire under them until
all of the flesh peeled
off of his feet and ankles, before they hung him also and his remains were interred in St. Kevin's Church in Dublin.
Elizabeth 1st the Welsh Tudor English Quieen granted Sir Walter Raleigh 42,000 acres of the Fitz Gerald Desmond territory in the Munster Province and another castle was built at Lisdoonvarna in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province, against the Irish Septs there.
Donogh Mac Namara, the son of
Teague Mac Namara, from the Heberian Dal gCais
Ui Caisin Clan Culien,
who was a son of Cuvea Mac Namara the son of
Cumara Mac Namara
the son of
John Mac Namara.
died this year,
and was succeeded by his brother,
John Mac Namara.
1585 AD 126.Aedh Dubh
/
Black Hugh O Niall,
the son of 125.Ferdoragh O Niall
whose father had been
124.Conn
Bacach O Niall
"The O Niall" from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn
"northern"
Ui Niaill
Cenel nEogain Sept, was
to become the English appointed 2nd
Earl of Tyrone in the
Ulster
Province
when recognized by the
English Ascendancy
Parliament. (He had been another Irish
youngster taken as a child to England and also reared for an English purpose by
Sir
Phillip Sidney's father for
8 years). He
had since been given
Scottish bodyguards and
English Gall
servants, to
serve the cause of
Elizabeth 1st
in Ireland, and
at this time due to his special upbringing he still could not understand why the
Irish
would not accept the English
ways.
All of the Irish Chiefs were required by Sir John Perrot and the English authorities in the Dublin Castle, who were acting for Elizabeth 1st the Welsh Tudor Queen of England, to attend a Parliament in Dublin by proclamation, and Ireland was then divided into Counties by the English authorities there in the Dublin Castle, and the English Shire system was extended, with 27 of these Counties to send selected members to the next English Ascendancy Parliament in Dublin. From out of the whole of the Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Breifne kingdom Co. Cavan / Cabhan (The Hollow) the O Reilly kingdom of East Breifne was added to the Ulster Province, and Co. Leitrim the O Rourke kingdom of West Breifne was left in the Connacht Province.
Dingle in Co. Kerry in the south - west of the Munster Province was granted a charter as a town, and the English Military forces who were involved in the massacre at Smerwick under Lord Grey / de Wilton Elizabeth 1st's appointed English Lord Deputy in Ireland, were planted there, and Elizabeth 1st also gave 300 pounds for a wall to be built around the town to keep the Irish Septs out.
The Irish territories in the
Connacht
Province were now
also confiscated and the
Irish Septs
there, under English Law,
became tenants on their own land,
having to now pay
rents and charges, as all
Irish
landholdings
there were now
abolished.
April 26th: Sir John Perrot, Elizabeth 1st's appointed English Lord Deputy in Ireland convened an English Ascendancy Parliament in Dublin, and also divided the Ulster Province into Counties, and Tir Conaill / Tyrconnell (The Land of 91.Conall Gulban) where the Dun na Gall (Fort of the Strangers) which was previously a fortress of the Danes was located, in the kingdom and territory of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel Conaill O Donnells now became known as Co. Donegal.
Sir William Petty introduced into Ireland "Quit Rent" of one penny per acre or 10 shillings per quarter on every 120 acres to be paid to Elizabeth 1st the Welsh Tudor Queen of England forever, but after the English came to realise how much of the Irish Catholic land was still in Irish hands under Petty's Survey, further wholesale confiscations were carried out and the Irish territory then also taken there given over to English hangers on.
August 17th: Sir Richard Bingham, Elizabeth 1st's English appointed Governor in the Connacht Province, that also geographically took in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province, on the western side of the River Shannon, introduced the Composition of Connaught, were he imposed new Taxes as a fixed rent there, whereby ten shillings was to be paid for every 120 acres held, to Elizabeth 1st the Welsh Tudor English Queen and the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Caisin Mac Namaras in Co. Clare objected to this further outrage, and Mahon O Brian, the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlogh Ui mBriain Chief of Cloon Dovan in Kilkeady, 6 miles to the north - east of Corofin in Co. Clare, refused altogether to co - operate in this English impost on the kingdom of Thomond / Northern Munster. Sir Richard Bingham who was known as "The Fiend of the Sickle" was to attack Mahon O Brian's castle with firearms and cannon for 3 weeks, until he was finally able to kill him with a rifle shot, and all of the survivors in the castle then surrendered and he executed every single one of them, and destroyed the castle as a warning to any of the Irish Septs there who might have survived and meant to resist the English impositions. (John Mac Namara was to soon sign the Composition). In Co. Sligo in the north - west of Connacht the Composition was signed between Sir John Perrot for Elizabeth 1st and the Irish Chiefs their and Eugene O Hart the Catholic Bishop of Achrony, who also took part in the Catholic Synod held in the Ulster Province this year to bring in the results from the Council of Trent.
Grace / Grannia O Malley the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Ui Maille Pirate Queen from Co. Mayo in the mid - west of Connacht was also taken prisoner by Sir Richard Bingham at this time, who proceeded to construct a special gallows where he intended to hang her, but instead for some reason changed his mind and let her go.
The
English authorities in the Dublin Castle (The Devil's 1/2 acre) under the
direction of Elizabeth 1st
now also took objection at this time to the
long hair worn by the
Irish,
their women drinking alcohol and kissing each other when they met, their easy
method of divorce, and their probationary marriages, the women keeping their own
names, or naming their babies after their father's family line.
Because
of the position of their respective territories in proximity to
the
English Pale surrounding Dublin, during
this period, the
Heremonian
Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Cu
Corb O Brennans,
the O
Hughes,
the
O Dunnes
the Kings
of
Iregan,
the
Irian
O Mores,
the Heremonian
Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb
O Phelans and the O Delaneys, and the
Gaelic Milesian Irian
O Lalors,
were to be cleared
out of
Cloneagh
in
Co. Laois in the mid - west of
Southern
Leinster, twice. (In
an earlier age St.
Fintan had founded a school there, and Rory O More and
James
Fintan Lalor were to
become their
2 most famous sons in
Ireland in the future and Peter Lalor in Australia).
William Oge
- the Younger Mac Eniry / Kynery from the
Heberian
Eoghanacht
Ui Fidgeinti Ui Cairbre Aebda
Sept
of Bally Audley in Co.
Limerick in the north - west of the Munster
Province was slain at Aherb.
Teague
O Roddy
/ Tadhg Ua Rodaigh
from Fenagh in
Co. Leitrim in
Northern Connacht,
who was an
Irish historian,
in fear of what was to come
collected many ancient
Irish manuscripts,
including 30 books on the
Irish Brehon Law.
1585 - 1592 AD
