the Treaty of Peace and offered very largely and at Dundalke Tyrone upon his knees made an humble submission to the Queen before these Commissioners and made many requests promising reformation and many circumstances and Ceremonies then passed But these inconveniences followed these delayes being no better then delusions that the Vlster Rebels had rest this Summer and O Neale in the midst of this Negotiation required aid from Spain Sir Richard Bingham a valiant wise man on some complaint of the Irish was sent for over into England and Sir Coniers Clifford sent in his place but afterwards Sir Richard was againe employed in great command in that service Again an other Treaty of Peace with Tyrone who layd the cause of his disloyalty on the wrongs that were offered him and so with many dissembling words oaths and protestations making answer to some questions concerning Spaine he departed This Lord Deputy being recalled into England and the Lord Bourgh or Borough was sent over in his place with absolute authority so that Sir John Norris was much disheartned thereby and was thought of purpose for that end sent over by the Earle of Essex whom Generall Norris had dipleased by undertaking an action with lesse force then the said Earle required At this Dep arriving Generall Norris was commanded to his charge which was Lord President of Munster and not to stirre thence without leave which thing did presently break his heart so that he died there in the armes of his brother Sir Thomas Norris Now Tyrone submitted or sweld as he saw occasion So that the Lord Deputy perceiving it presently made his way towards Tyrone thinking it best to strike at the head who encountred the Irish in a narrow path and made them give way hee tooke the Fort at Blackwater and left Souldiers in it which being not long after assailed by the Rebels was againe relieved by the Lord Deputy who immediatly fell sick as hee was passing to Tyrones house at Dungannon and not long after departed this world to the great joy of the Rebels who found his severity disadvantagious to them Then Sir Thomas Norris Lord President of Munster under the great Seale of England was made Lord Justice of Ireland who repaired to Dublin but being very ill through the great grief he conceived for the losse of his brother in a moneths space he made suit to be released So that Adam Loftus Lord Chancelour the Lord Archbishop of Ireland and Robert Gardiner chiefe Justice of Ireland by Patent from England were made Lord Justices for the Civill Government And the Earle of Ormond was made Lord Lievtenant and chief Generall of all Martiall affaires Tyrone again sues for pardon and proffers submission saying that it was offered injuries that compelled him thus to revolt So there was another meeting appointed at Dundalke Decemb. 22. where on his knees hee shewed great sorrow and made humble submission desiring a cessation from Armes eight weeks now this submission being sent into England the Lord Lievtenant received authority from the Queen to make a finall conclusion so that another meeting was appointed March 15 at Dundalke where many articles were propounded to the Rebels which they slightly regarded but for better deliberation Tyrone desired the tenth of April for another meeting But Tyrone with pretences did frustrate all these parleys and though hee had his generall pardon granted yet continued he in his disloyall courses so that on the former Indictment 1595 he is after out-lawed in 1600. But he being prepared and his men expert by trayning and often skirmishing whereas at the first two or three of them were employed in the discharge of a Musket hee left off to dissemble and submitted no more but gives incouragement and that with good successe unto his Confederates First he sends ayde to the Lemster Rebels to annoy the English and assaulted the Fort of Blackwater as being a hinderance in his passing too and fro But Captaine Williams valiantly defended it with great losse to Tyrone who went and lay further off but this Captaine and his Company continued their defence bravely untill August though much pinched with want of victuals when Sir Henry Bagnal Marshall of Ireland with foot and horse of the English endeavoured to relieve it and passing along the narrow passages through the thicke Woods beyond Armagh Where the Rebell with all his force assayled him and bearing a deadly hatred and malice against the Marshall against whom he bent his whole strength and commanded his Souldiers so to doe that he had the fortune to kill him yet like a valiant Gentleman he sold his life at a deare rate to many of the Rebels But his fall caused our mens hearts to fayle whereupon the Rebell had the greatest advantage against the English the like never hapning againe called The Defeat at Blackwater wherein we lost thirteen valiant Captains and fifteen hundred old Souldiers whereupon likewise the surrender of the Fort ensued It was thought this misfortune to happen from an oversight of the Marshall who made the Van of the army too suddenly to retreat and too sudden faces about puts feare in the Reare and makes them suppose it may be a running away For as Sir Walter Raleigh in his fifth book first part of the History of the World that as well in the Wars of these later ages as in former times it hath been found ever extreame dangerous to make a Retreat in the head of an enemies army as he renders the reason but I cannot digresse any further This overthrow much increased the insolencie of the Rebels the Rebells having gotten courage and armes thereby and Tyrone termed the Deliverer of his Countrey and the authour of their liberty All Vlster in Rebellion Connagh revolted and the Rebels in Lemster a continuall terrour and vexation to the English And now Tyrone sent forces into Munster where after the departure of Sir John Norris most of the County revolted and now brake out like Lightning making havock and destroying in a barbarous manner And for the better countenancing of the matter a new pretended Earle of Desmond is set up on condition to be Vassall to O Neale At this time a supply came out of England of a thousand and fifty old Souldiers from out the Low Countreys and nine hundred and fifty joyned to them of new raised in England sent under the command of Sir Samuel Bagnal Colonel and nine other Captains to strengthen the Queenes forces i●Lemster and a hundred under Colonel Bagnals command In the midst of these broyls the impudent Rebell is no● ashamed to intreat for pardon and sue for peace Although as appeared in his Letters sent to the King of Spaine he magnified his victories and vowed perseverance but his conditions were insolent and so not regarded And now the wound is growne so great and the case so desperate that it admits of no cure but by the hand of a valiant expert souldier And none found like Robert Earle of
Essex whom favour with the Queen and fortune of warre had made popular And his own active inclination and the policie of his powerfull enemies in Court wrought it for his undertaking and by his absence they plotted his ensuing overthrow But before his going two Regiments of old Souldiers out of the Low Countries were sent into Ireland and dispersed at his comming through the whole army for the exercise of the rest 1050 Foot The first Regiment Sir Charles Percy Colonell Richard Morison Lievtenant Colonel and five other Captains 950 Foot The second Regiment Sir Henry Bockwra Colonell Captaine John Chamberlaine Lievtenant Colonell and four other Captains This Earls Commission was large without limitation almost even the power of a Prince and an army as great as hee desired the like unto which in all points Ireland never saw The establishment was sealed by the Qu.
