A Narrative of the Battell of KNOCKNONES IT was now a season as unapt for Action to the naked English as opportune for the Jrish better inured and accommodated to the hardships of that Country when the Lord Taff Generall for the Irish advanced towards the English Quarters with a Designe to block up or distress them in their Garrisons wherein it being discerned that hee might prevalently proceed to their destruction if a seasonable opposition were not given It was at a Counsell of Warre summoned by the Presedent long debated whether to issue forth of our Garrisons to encounter this approaching Torrent or not and at length after an earnest endeavour of divers to the contrary resolved to be more consistent with our safeties to make head against the Rebells in the field then to suffer them to come within our Quarters and so disable us either to joyne together in an offencive or subsist together in a defensive posture In pursuance of which resolution The Army being by the generall vote and the Presidents Orders drawne together at Moyallo marchched on the Twelfth of this Instant after a due discharge of those pious invocations and exercises of addresses to the Divine Providence which the President had injoyned to a place called Gariduff in English Blask-gardens the Rebells encamping at Knocknones within two miles of us but the day so far spent as that it was not held fit to make any attempt then upon them About the evening came a Trumpet from the Lord Taff with a Letter to the President in these words My Lord THe delay of my not sending to you a returne of your last Letter by your Trumpet was occasioned by my stay for my Artillery which being come I tell your Lordship That Captaine Courtepp very much magnifying the Excellency of your Foot I offered more for recreation then with a suspition that it might breake your Army That a Thousand or two of mine should when ever you made an indifferent appointment sight with a like number of yours which I am now ready to performe in this place And if you please to draw the Remaine of your Army hither I will look upon you and certainly neither of our Parties will want the gallantry of seconding their ingaged friends Our quartell is to preserve the Kings Interests which all of us with the hazard of our lives will maintaine against my opposition And when I consider that by the destruction of your party I may be in the more unmolested Condition to serve him be certaine your invitation to battell is neceptably received by me I know that in your Lordships Army there are a great many Gentlemen which have been very faithfull to their King and 〈…〉 is your Lordships practise to abuse them by 〈◊〉 them in a service to destructive to His Majesties Rights And pray my Lord doe not delude them by detracting this Army who are unalterably and without any hope of perticular benefit determined to loose themselves or restore as much as in them lies the King to His former greatnesse This is truth and it proceeds cordially from Knocknones 12. Novem. 27. Your Lordships Servant TAFF To which the Lord President returned MY LORD I have received your Letter by your Trumpeter and your Lordship might before this have perceived that I was not ignorant where your Army lay had not the approach of night scanted me of time to march up unto you And being you have performed as much as I desire in bringing your Army hither I shall not desire you to loose any advantage you have in numbers of men being your offer was onely made for Recreation You are pleased to say your quarrell is chiefly to preserve the Kings Interest and because I beleeve it will little avail me to offer Reasons to convince you of the contray I shall deferre the dispute untill wee meet in the morning when I beleeve these Gentlemen whom yee suppose to bee deluded by me will by Gods help use Rhetorick that will better conduce to that end to which I shall refer your Lordship for satisfaction being resolved to contribute there in to the endeavours of Your Servant 〈◊〉 This night wee lodged in a wood which equally affoarded both security and convenience unto the souldiers The word was to the Foot Pray to the House Prevaile and this night some 〈…〉 was observed in the nature of 〈◊〉 early in the mornning we began to prepare the light giving us now a clear manifestation of what was to be done the enemy was drawn up upon a hil about two Myles of called Knoknones which being of great advantage to them The Lord President if possible to withdraw them from it sent this Letter to the Rebels Gene all My Lord Here is a very faire piece of ground betwixt your Lordships Army and ours one this side the brooke whether if you please to advance we will do the like we do not so much doubt the gallantry of your resolution as to thinke you will not come but give you this notice to the end you may see wee do stand upon no advantage of ground and are willing to dispute our Qaurrel upon indifferent tearms being consident that the justnesse of our Cause wil be this day made manifest by the Lord and that your Lordships judgment will be rectified concerning Novem. 13. 1647. Your servant Inchiquin To which the Lord Taaff returned verball answer that hee was not so little a souldier as not to improve any advantage he had of ground or otherwise which he doubted not the President would doe in like ease The reason as we learned afterwards by some of their men taken prisoners besides the advantage of ground being a steep hill why the Lord Taaff so pertinaciously stuck to that place was this There was a certaine old blind Prophesie running amongst the Irish which converted into English rymes like their old bard speakes thus Mac Donogh future age shall see A man of thy posterity By whom the English Lord shall fall Bloud shall ascend to the legges small The place wee Knoknones doe call Which was by the Lord Taaff applyed to himself for that the hill whereon he stood was called Knocknones and his Ancestors had the lands of Mack Donagh given by the Kings of Enland in reward of their service performed against he Rebells here their Leuiftenant Generall Sr. Alexander Mac Donnell known vulgarly by the name of Colkitta was unwilling to have the fight performed on that day
