• Notes

  Mahon defeated Maolmoadh in two different battles, and Maolmoradh despairing to succeed by open force, had recourse to treachery; the Bishop of Cork and the other principal clergy of the province interpose, in consequence of which it was agreed that both princes should meet with a few friends at both sides at Donamhan's house in Kerry Mahon came there on the appointed day accompanied by only 12 of his nobles. In the interim Maolmoradh tampered with Donamhan, and came to his house with a strong party of horse, on which Mahon was made prisoner, hurried off to the county of Cork, and there basely murdered at a place called Leacht Mahon near Macroom. Maolmoradh was thereon proclaimed King of Munster, and Donamhan for his services received nine score townlands in Carbery, in the south of the county of Cork, afterwards as it happened by the law of gavel-kind, divided among his descendants, as follows--Glean-na-Chroim, or the parish of Fanlobish; Clan Loghlin, or the parish of Kilfoghmabeg; Gleana-Mhuilin, or the parish of Kilmeen; Garruidhe-O'Gearbe, or the parish of Myross; Clancathail, or the parish of Drimoleague, and part of the parish of Drinagh."
