Excerpts surrounding Sir Rossa Bhuidhe from the Annals of Ireland by The Four Masters.
LC1589.6
A defeat was given to Robert, son of Henry Dubh Dillon, in
Oirghiall-Mic-Mathghamhna, whilst going as sheriff against Mag Uidhir; and
he was taken prisoner himself, and his people were slain; and it was Brian,
son of Aedh Og Mac Mathghamhna, that gave that defeat.
LC1589.16
Mac Mathghamhna, i.e., Rossa Buidhe, the son of Art Mael, died; and that
was a great calamity. Brian, son of Aedh Og, was ordained in his place.
M1589.2
Mac Mahon (Rossa, the son of Art, son of Brian of the Early Rising, son of
Redmond, son of Glasny) died; upon which Brian, the son of Hugh Oge, son of
Hugh, son of John Boy, Lord of Dartry-Oriel, and Ever, son of Cu-Uladh,
Lord of Farney, and the brother of the deceased, i.e. Hugh Roe, were
contending with each other about the lordship of the territory.
LC1589.26
Brian, the son of Aedh Og Mac Mathghamhna, and Aedh Ruadh, the son of Art
Mael, went to Baile-atha-cliath, to obtain the decision of the Justiciary
and council regarding the lordship of Oirghiall-Mic-Mathghamhna; and those
nobles gave the lordship to Aedh Ruadh, the son of Art Mael; and the
Justiciary sent six companies with Aedh Ruadh, and proclaimed him lord. The
son of Aedh Og went discontented to his own country, to Dartrai; and he
left the district, and carried off his creaghts towards the fastnesses; and
he left his brother Rudhraighe in the wardship of Dartrai. And Captain
Plunket proceeded to his country, thinking that it was unoccupied, and
Rudhraighe rose against them; and he attacked them, and routed them; and
the greater number of Captain Plunket's band were slain. The country was
ruined between them, i.e., between the son of Aedh Og and the son of Art
Mael.
LC1589.32
A day attack was made by Aedh Ruadh, son of Art Mael Mac Mathghamhna, on
Brian, the son of Aedh Og Mac Mathghamhna; and sixteen men of his people
were slain on that field.
M1589.7
Teige-an-Duna, the son of Donough, son of Murtough, son of Donough, son of
Murtough, son of Ballagh, the senior of the Mac Mahons of Tuath-na-Fearna
(i.e. of Corca-Bhaiscinn), and of Sliocht-an-Bhallaigh, died. There lived
not in his neighbourhood in his time so brave a man.
