Bagwell, Richard
Ireland -- History -- 17th century
[232] The tenour of the articles entered into can be seen from the
subsidiary agreement printed in _Contemp. Hist._ iii. 293, the
declaration of Walter Bagenal and others against him, and the despatch
of Corbet, Jones, and Ludlow in appx. to Ludlow's _Memoirs_, i.
515. For Mrs. Fitzpatrick, _ib._ 340. In his preface to _Contemp.
Hist._, iii. xviii., Sir J. Gilbert says the witness against her
was suborned, but he gives no authority, and in the collection of
massacres appended to Clarendon's volume on Ireland, several murders by
Florence Fitzpatrick are mentioned, Elizabeth Baskerville testifying
'that Mrs. Fitzpatrick blamed the murderers because they brought
not Mrs. Nicholson's fat or grease, wherewith she might have made
candles.'--Lodge's _Peerage_, ed. Archdall, ii. 345.
[233] Most of the articles are printed in _Contemp. Hist._ iii. 293-335.
[234] _Ludlow_, i. 320, and his letter of June 24 to Lenthall, _ib._
526. There is a good memoir on the siege of Ross by J. P. Prendergast
in Kilkenny _Arch. Journal_, iii. 24-35, and a criticism of the same
by Archdeacon Rowan in the _Kerry Magazine_, 1855, p. 101. Chudleigh's
monument at Kinsale says he 'causavit terris velificasse ratem,' which
is rather ambiguous, for no boat could actually sail on land. Perhaps
it is doubtful Latin for 'inland.' Smith, in his _History of Kerry_,
1756, p. 315, says the boats were 'brought up by the river Lane by
strength of men's hands,' and he afterwards mentions one Hopkins,
sexton of Swords near Dublin a few years before, who lived to be 115,
and who was one of the men employed in drawing the boats to the lake.

June 22, are printed _ib._ 324.

August 14, 1652, iii. 128-133, and the note _ib._ 392; Clarke's _Life
