in February last leaving great store of plate and other riches for a pledge behind him And being farther examined concerning Florence Mac Carty hee answered that the said Florence did ever by sight or otherwise acquaint him with what the President wrote unto him and did continually sweare protest and giue all outward assurance never to desist in this action but to persevere therein to the end and that the Spaniards and Rebels of Vlster did build their principall hopes of Mounster upon himselfe and Florence Mac Carty all this was also verified by certaine intelligences which the Lord Barry received from Dermond Mac Awley lately come from the North the effect whereof was thus much When the Spanish Arch-bishop was to returne into Spaine in February last there was a Councell holden in Vlster by Tyrone Odonnell the said Bishop and all the chiefe Traytors of those parts Iohn of Desmond Lixnaw Pierce Lacy Donoghe Mac Cormock and this D●rmond Mac Awley being called thereupon the chiefest matter debated in this consultation was what place of Ireland was the most convenient where the Spanish forces should make their arrivall It was without much difficulty or gainesaying resolved for all respects Mounster was the fittest Province to be invaded then it remayned to consider what place in that Province they should first attempt and concerning this point the Mounster men were required to deliver their opinions Pierce Lacy began and urged certaine reasons why hee thought it most requisit for them first to gaine Limerick and plant there because the Provinces of Connaght and Linster were neere at hand to minister aide to the Spanish Armie and Vlster was not farre distant being also the place most remote from England especially for shipping All the rest being induced by these reasons to subscribe unto his opinion Donoghe Mac Cormock stood up and withstood this Councell saying that Mac Cartie More from whose mouth he said he spake it upon mature deliberation did advise their comming to Corke for the taking of that place would bee of most importance as well for the countenancing of the action where the President most resided as the magazins of victuals and munitions were placed there and also it being a farre better outlet then the River of Limerick the Citie weaker and sooner forced And lastly in landing there they should border upon Barry Roche Cormock Mac Dermond and Mac Carty Reughe all which for feare of their estates were partially affected to the English and by that meanes either constraine them to conjoyne with them in the action or else to make their Countrey and people a prey unto the Army After long disputation the Councell of Florence delivered by Donoghe Mac Cormock was most applauded and so they concluded to land the Spanish Armie in the River of Corke CHAP. VI. Florence Mac Cartie is by the Lord President committed to prison A briefe Collection of Florence Mac Carties treasons and practises with the Rebels not touching any thing formerly related VPON these and many other reasons that shall hereafter be alleaged the President thought that he could not possibly accomplish a service more acceptable to her Majestie nor profitable for the State and more availeable to divert the Spanish preparations then to commit unto prison and safe custody the body of this Florence which was accordingly effected about the beginning of Iune one thousand sixe hundred and one a man so pernitious and dangerous to the State which had sundry wayes broken his severall protections upon his apprehension which was in Corke the President tooke present order that search should bee made in the Pallace his chiefe house in Desmond and other places of his aboad for all such Letters and writings as could therein bee found whereby was discovered such a Sea of rebellious and traiterous practises as her Majestie and her ho●ourable Councell being acquainted therewith thought good that hee should be sent into England with the Arch-traytortitulary Earle of Desmond Iames fits Thomas The conduction of these two firebrands of Mounster upon the fourteenth of August 1601. was committed to the charge of Sir Anthony Cooke who brought them to the Tower of London where they yet remaine But for as much as this Florence hath sithence his commitment insisted upon his Iustification complayning of hard measure offered him by her Majestie and her Officers I am therefore constrained though much against my will for satisfaction of all indifferent men Welwillers and confutation of all malitious Cavillers to lay open briefely as I may his whole cariage and conversation since his late landing within this kingdome forbearing to insist upon such poynts as haue already bin touched in this relation Thou maiest bee pleased therefore to understand gentle Reader that the rebels of Mounster being growne to such an exceeding strength as you haue heard and amongst these Donnell Mac Cartie Florence his base brother in Law one of the chiefe her Majestie thought good to diminish their forces with sparing as much blood and expending as little treasure as conveniently might bee and therefore knowing that Florence Mac Cartie was better beloved in the Countrey then Donnell having made many solemne vowes and taken many voluntary oathes for his continued loyaltie was dispatched into Ireland in the moneth of May 1599. and to the end hee might bee the more encouraged and better enabled to doe her Highnesse service it pleased her Majestie to direct her favourable Letters to Robert Earle of Essex then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland authorising him to giue order for Letters Patents to bee made containing an effectuall graunt to the said Florence Mac Cartie and Ellen his wife and to the Heires males of their bodies lawfully begotten of all the Countrey of Desmond and such other Lands whereof hee had any estate of inheritance but withall authorising the said Lord Lieutenant and Councell to stay those Letters Pattents in the Hamper or deliver them according as they should see cause in the proofe they should make of the behaviour of the said Florence Now that yee may see in what dutifull manner hee requi●ed this trust in what gratefull manner this kindnesse and in what religious manner these oathes I will recite a part of the examination of Iohn Anias taken before Sir Nicholas Welsh and Iustice Comerford which may explaine the same the thirteenth of October 1600. He saith that in May last Florence Mac Cartie sent one Maur. More to him wishing him to repaire to his Lodging at Corke and that Florence was desirous to be acquainted with him whereupon hee came to Florence and in Florence his Chamber hee the said Florence and none other but they two being present said that he understood that this Examinate was an Enginer and one that had skill in devising and erecting of Fortifications and that he would willingly imploy him in the like Anias demanding of Florence what or where hee would haue his Workes raysed Hee answered at Dunkerran wherein hee might upon any

that Redmond Burke and Captaine Mostian went likewise without his consent Which done being sorry as he protested of his traytorly life hee humbly craved her Majesties gracious protection promising to merit the same with future loyall service which being graunted hee departed Vpon the fourth of this moneth as aforesayd having beene in the meane time with Tyrone hee made his second addreffe to the President the Lord Deputie then being in Corke and being called before the Lord Deputie and the President he dlivered unto them a Message from Tyrone the effect whereof was that he would be glad to be received into her Majesties mercie being heartily sorry that hee had given her so just a cause of offence and likewise grieved in his soule that hee had been the cause of the effusion of so much blood the exhausting of her Majesties Treasures and the ruine of his natiue Countrey Neverthelesse this pretended griefe and humilitie was farced with some exorbitant conditions unmeet for him to demaund from his Soveraigne whom hee had highly offended or for a Monarch to graunt to a vassall Notwithstanding it was thought good to take hold of the occasion for although it should not worke the end desired which was to settle the Kingdome in tranquillitie yet a motion onely of submission proceeding from the capitall Rebell would worke in the mindes of the inferiour Traytors a mistrust of their estates and seeke by his Example to sue for grace while there was time wherein they might hope to obtaine it Vpon these considerations the Lord Deputie was willing after hee had shewed his dislike to the Conditions to embrace the motion And because that he might be assured to haue a true report returned Captaine George Blunt who had been a familiar and inward friend unto Tyrone when hee was a Subject was imployed in this businesse and for his manner of treating with him hee had these Instructions following subscribed by the Lord Deputie and the Lord President When you speake with Tyrone you shall tell him that you understand that Richard Owen came from him to the Lord Deputie with Commission from him to tell his Lordship that hee desired to bee received into the Queenes mercy if his life might be secured Whereupon you finding in him such conformitie out of your ancient loue which in former time you bare him were glad of the alteration and therefore as his friend did now undertake this long Iourney to perswade him to those courses which might best answer his dutie to his Prince and repayre his estate which in your opinion is desperate If you find him desirous to bee received to mercie you shall giue him hope of it and promise him furtherance for the effecting of it upon these conditions That he shall in token of his penitency and according to the dutie of a Subject to his Naturall Prince first under his hand write a letter of submission to the Lord Deputie humbly craving in the same her Majesties mercy with promise to redeeme his errours past by his future service That likewise he shall write a publique Submission to her Majestie imploring at her hands forgiuenesse of his faults and likewise promise amendment of his life with a willing desire to doe her some acceptable service in recompence of his transgression in the same protesting to serue her Majestie against all men either of Ireland or Forreiners that shall endeavour the disturbance of this Countrey That he shall put into her Majesties hands his eldest Sonne for the assurance of his future loyaltie and foure principall Gentlemen of his blood as he formerly promised That hee shall at his charge finde workmen to build such Forts in the Countrey of Tyrone and in such places as the Lord Deputy shall thinke fit That he shall permit throughout Tyrone her Majesties Officers of Iustice as the Sheriffes and others to haue free liberty to execute their Offices as is accustomed in other Provinces and Counties of the Realme and answer all other duties formerly promised That hee shall onely undertake for himselfe and his Pledges to lye for no more then those that dwell upon that land onely that is contayned in his Letters Patents not any way undertaking for the rest of Tyrone as Tirlogh Brassiloes sonnes Mac Maghon O Can● Mac Guire Mac Genis the two Clandeboyes and all of the East side of Ban. That if any of his neighbours shall continue in rebellion none of their people shall be harboured in Tyrone and likewise that none of Tyrone shall by his consent or knowledge succour any Rebell or giue assistance to them and if any such offendor shall happen to be discovered either by himselfe or any other her Majesties Officers upon knowledge thereof that hee shall doe his best endeavour to prosecute the parties offending and either take them whereby they may be tryed by the Lawes of the Realme or kill them if they may not otherwise bee had and shall assist her Majesties Officers in taking to her use the goods and chattells of the Offenders and their retinues That he shall not onely truely pay all her Majesties Rents and Duties from this time forward due unto her out of Tyrone but also pay the Arrerages that for many yeares haue been by him detayned That in respect of the great charges that hee hath put her Majestie unto although it bee not the thousand part of her disbursements In nomine paenae which in all such great offences is accustomed towards the victualling of her Majesties Garisons hee shall pay two thousand Cowes within sixe moneths That the Countrey of Tyrone may bee limited and no more by him to be possessed then is contayned in his Letters Pattents That the territory of Tyrone might bee divided into shieres and haue Goales as hee hath formerly desired That hee put at liberty the Sonnes of Shane Oneale and all other prisoners English and Irish These things you shall only propound as from your selfe yet as conceiving that they will be demanded at his hands if hee be received and to draw as large an overture from him of what hee will agree unto as you can perswade him telling him that the greater assurance he doth giue the estate of his loyaltie the greater will bee his safetie for wee shall conster his good meaning by his free offer thereof and after wee shall haue the lesse reason to bee jealous of him Mountioye George Carew CHAP.

IX 〈…〉 〈…〉 〈…〉 〈…〉 hee would never upon which answer this twelve Men before respited two dayes after were executed The cause wherfore he so suddainly swar●ed from his first promise of service was the hopes which hee received by Owen Mac Egan the Popes Bishop of Rosse lately arrived at Ardea in the Bay as aforesaid of Cla●marrah The President therefore perceiving that they conceived great hope of Spaniards advised the day following with the chiefes of the Army what course was best to bee taken with the Castle of Dunboy halfe ruined who were all of opinion that a Garrison which should be left there could not defend themselves or give any great annoyance to the Spaniard if they should fortune to land there for being so remote from all Seconds and succours were unavoydably left to ruine And besides though the Spaniards came not the service that they could doe in that Countrey would not countervaile Her Majesties charge in maintayning them Therefore they resolved to bestow the Powder which was recovered in the Castle to blow up the same committed to the charge of Captaine Slingsbie The two and twentyeth the Castle of Dunboy was accordingly blowne up with Powder the out-Workes and Fortifications utterly destroyed and the same day Lieutenant Downings with our men and Boates returned from the Dorses to the Campe as also twelve of Terrills chiefe men formerly spoken of were

appeared for his detestable treasons nor yet would endeavour to merite his life either by discovering the Rebells intentions which was in his power or by doing of some service that might deserve favour was hanged at Youghall the Towne wherein he was borne The same day also all our carriage and baggage layed aboard at the enterance into our boats because wee were not able to carie the Cowes Horses and Mares which wee had taken being at least sixe or seven hundred heads the President commanded they should bee killed which was performed The three and twentieth wee shipped our whole Army backe from Dunboy who all arrived that day in the great Iland and from thence the Earle of Thomond and Sir Charles Wilmot and both their Regiments were transported by shipping to Killaminog being the place wee encamped in as wee went in Mainterbaie The same day the Lord President was advertised by Lieutenant Saunders that hee had taken a great boat belonging to Teg Mac Connor Odriscall brother to Connor Oge Odriscall of the Downings wherein there was slaine Dary Mac Connor his brother and three more of his best men and that two dayes after hee tooke the strong place of the Downings which is seated upon a high rock in the Sea disioyned from the land so as there is no comming unto it but over a little draw bridge of wood resembling the seat of Dunluce in Vlster The foure and twentieth the Lord President and Sir Richard Percy with their Regiments were embarqued a●d they arrived in the evening at the Iland of Whiddy where wee had no meanes for want of boats to unship our men and the night approaching were enforced to leaue our two Regiments a shipboard and the Lord President lay that night in the Iland The fiue and twentieth the Earle and Sir Charles with their Regiments marched by land from Killaminog to the old camping place at Carew Castle whither when the boats came to us wee unshipt the remayne of the Army and there wee encamped all that night The sixe and twentieth the Companies required by the Lord Deputie were assigned and commanded to prepare themselues and attend Sir Samuell Bag●all till hee brought them to his Lordship and the same day the Castle of Leam●con neere Crooke haven which the rebels warded was recovered from them by an officer and party of men of Captaine Roger Harvies Company The seven and twentieth the Earle of Thomond and Sir George Thornton were embarqued in the Queenes Pinnace to goe for England and the Army dislodged from Carew Castle and marched to a place in the Mountaine called Becarien Eltagh where wee encamped that night The eight and twentieth the Lord President departed thence taking the Captaines and Officers of those companies that were to goe into Vlster along with him that they might perclose their accounts and dispatch all things at Corke against their Companies should come thither and by the way the Castle of Lettertinlesse belonging to Conogher Sir Finnin Odriscals Sonne where the Enemy had a ward of seventeene men after some defence made and shot discharged when they saw the Army drawe before the Castle they sued for their liues which granted them they yeelded it up and after the Souldiers had made pillage of the goods wee burned and destroyed the Castle and stone hall and rod thence to Tymolagg leaving the Army behind us
