[105] I have followed the strictly contemporary account printed by Archdeacon Rowan in the _Kerry Magazine_ (Jan. 1854), and reprinted by Miss Hickson in _Old Kerry Records_. No other account is so full, and it is easily reconciled with the _Four Masters_ and with Ormonde's letters printed by Mr. Gilbert in vol. iv. of the _Irish National MSS_, and see Ormonde to Walsingham and Burghley, Nov. 28, and Smith's _Cork_. [106] The spot where Desmond fell is on the right bank, rather low down in the glen. No doubt the cabin where he spent the night was higher up. In the survey made by Sir Valentine Browne and others, and privately printed by Mr. S. M. Hussey, is the following passage: 'A great wood here and there, filled with oak-trees fit for house timber, but not large enough for the making of ships and castles. But the greater part of the said wood consists in underwood of the age of fifty and sixty years, filled with dotted trees--ash, hazels, sallows, willows, alders, birches, white-thorns and such like.... The wood is called Glanageenty, in which the late Earl of Desmond was slain in his rebellion, containing in length about four miles, and in breadth two miles, which said woods, because no woods there are saleable, and they lie under the mountains of Slew-Logher, far from any river or navigable stream, are here valued at _nil_.' I inspected the ground in June 1883. CHAPTER XL. GOVERNMENT OF PERROTT, 1583-1584. [Sidenote: Sir John Perrott is made Lord Deputy.] As early as December 1582, Sir John Perrott had been spoken of as Grey's successor. His actual appointment was, however, deferred for more than a year, Loftus and Wallop continuing to act as Lords Justices till June 1584. They were fortunate in seeing the end of the Desmond rebellion, but less so in having to deal with those who had been engaged in it. Lady Desmond, in her poverty, subsisted upon a pension allowed her by Ormonde, until the Queen's pleasure should be known; and the protections which he had given to the seneschal of Imokilly, Patrick Condon, and other leaders, were respected. Wallop did not like the Lord-General, but he did not thwart him seriously. Piers Grace, an old and notorious offender in the Kilkenny district, was pardoned at the Earl's intercession, and the Lords Justices observed that they would not have done it for anyone else.[107] [Sidenote: Archbishop O'Hurley.] [Sidenote: His treatment at Rome.]
