Clanricarde on his part announced that 'Galway having basely and perfidiously yielded,' he would resist while he could, and gave earnest of his determination by sending away Castlehaven in his only frigate, thus leaving himself no means of escape. He summoned Westmeath and O'Ferrall from Leinster, Muskerry from Munster, and O'Reilly from Ulster to join him in Sligo or Leitrim and 'unite in one clear score for God, our King, and country.' Galway Bay was full of Parliamentary ships, so Castlehaven had to go first to Innisbofin and embark from there. He was chased, and had a smart fight at sea, but was saved by thick weather. Arthur Magennis, Bishop of Down, a nephew of Owen Roe O'Neill, died during the action 'by the wind of a bullet, for fear,' having no wound. Castlehaven got safely to Brest, and thence to Paris or St. Germain's, where he saw the King and Queen and Ormonde. As French affairs then stood nothing could be done, and he joined Condé as a volunteer, after which he commanded an Irish brigade of about 5000 men. As late as 1680 he published his memoirs, confessedly to show that he was always a good Royalist and not to be confounded with the Irish 'as a confederate Catholic, which in plain English is a rebel.' Lord Anglesey, the son of Strafford's Mountnorris, who was a great gainer by the Restoration settlement, reviewed Castlehaven's pleasant little book, saying that 'by a providence from heaven to the English the marquesses of Ormonde and Clanricarde, his Majesty's chief governors, encouraged the Irish to keep up a war against the English, wherein they were so much hardened to their ruin, that they were at length entirely subdued without condition to any save for life, and left to be as miserable as they had made others in all respects.'[229] [Sidenote: Charles gives Clanricarde leave to go,] [Sidenote: but urges him to hold out.] [Sidenote: He takes Ballyshannon, May,] [Sidenote: and Donegal.] [Sidenote: Submission of Clanricarde, June 28.] [Sidenote: His character.]
