A. D. 1186. Hugo de Lacy who confiscated and<br />
transferred so many churches to the English Lords in<br />
Meath, Brefney and Oriel received the rents <strong>of</strong> Connaught,<br />
conquered the most part <strong>of</strong> Ireland for the<br />
English, erected castles in all quarters <strong>of</strong> Meath from<br />
the Shannon to the sea, and having completed the<br />
Castle <strong>of</strong> Durrow, went out one day to view it, accompanied<br />
by one third <strong>of</strong> the English. At this time a<br />
young man <strong>of</strong> Teffia, whose name was Giolla-ganionathar<br />
O'Miaidh, came up, having an axe concealed<br />
under his garment, with which he struck Hugo and<br />
cut <strong>of</strong>f his head, which with the body rolled into the<br />
castle ditch, near the sanctuary <strong>of</strong> Colum-kille.<br />
Giolla-gan-ionathar fled, and escaped from the English<br />
and Irish present into the wood <strong>of</strong> Clare, where he<br />
concealed himself, and afterwards returned safely to<br />
Fox and O'Breen, at whose instigation he slew the<br />
Earl.<br />
