  • Notes 
    • M 184 of Ireland

      It is worthy of remark that, at AD 1258, the Four Masters mention that "Hugh, 0the son of Felim O'Connor, and Teige O'Brien, marched with a great force to Caol Uisge (near Newry), to hold a conference with Brian O'Neill, to whom the foregoing chiefs, after making peace with each other, granted the sovereignty over the Irish; and they agreed that the hostages of Hugh O'Connor should be given to him as sureties for the fulfillment of this compact, and that the hostages of O'Reily's people, and also those of Hy-Briuin, from Kells to Drumcliff, should be likewise given to Hugh, the son of Felim O'Connor." And, two years later, at the Battle of Down, this Brian gallantly laid down his life in defense of the Kingdom of Ireland, which he claimed to govern. Again, the Four Masters, at AD 1260, in giving the names of the killed at the Battle of Drom Deirg, mention Brian O'Neill as "Chief Ruler of Ireland."
