Description
Abstract (cited)

This elegy on the death of Maghnas (son of Niall Garbh son of Conn) Ó Domhnaill is the third in a series of editions of the poems of Gofraidh Óg (son of Gofraidh son of Brian) Mac an Bhaird. Its centrepiece, an account of Maghnas’s martial career from the early days of the 1641 war until his death in the Battle of Benburb in 1646, complements and counterbalances contemporary English-language sources. An edition from Stonyhurst College manuscript A II 20 is accompanied by an English translation and by an introduction and notes in Irish.
