Ormonde and Desmond, the said Lysaght MacMorogh O'Connor was slain. Art O'Connor, brother to Gerot MacShane, was killed also. Connor MacCormac O'Connor was hurt and escaped, and divers others slain. During which time the said Cormac and Cahir continued at Donogh MacCarthy's aforesaid, as they were willed to do until such time as they heard of the overthrow given to the said Earl of Desmond, and then they departed the said Donogh MacCarthy's house and also gave over the said Earl's man. Thence they went to MacCarthy More's country, where Cahir departed from his brother Cormac and returned to O'Sullivan's country, the said Cahir having occasion there to speak with some of his kindred. And from thence the said Cahir followed his brother Cormac to O'Connor Kerry's country, where it was told Cahir by O'Connor Kerry that his said brother Cormac was departed towards John of Desmond. Two nights after Cahir, in company with Teige MacMorogh, the chiefest of the proclaimed traitors of the O'Briens, went from the said O'Connor's house to John of Desmond to meet his said brother Cormac, which was then, as he learned, gone to Thomond. Afterwards he returned to the Earl of Desmond's country, and at Askeaton the said Cahir sent one Teige Roe O'Meagher, then attendant about the said John, to the said John to show him the said Cahir's brother was gone to Thomond, and that the said Cahir was willing and desirous to tarry in Sir John's company until his brother returned from Thomond, which would not be for a sevennight. The said Sir John sent word by Teige O'Meagher that Cahir was welcome, and willed him to continue in his company and keep his name secret and private. The said Cahir willed the messenger to tell Sir John that he named himself by a contrary name, that is to say, MacQuillin's son of the Route, who was banished by the Scots. And so in the said Sir John's company he continued for a week or thereabouts, and for that the said Cormac came not, the foresaid Cahir followed him into Thomond.'[144] [Sidenote: Desmond's own case.]
