To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The English of Leinster made a treacherous attempt of some kind, of wliich we have no details, to capture Mac Murrogh ; ' but, ' say the Four Masters (1395), ' this was of no avail to them, for he escaped from them by the strength of his arm and by his valour. ' At last in a battle fought at Kells in Kilkenny in 1397 against the Leinster clans, amongst them a large contin- gent of Mac Murrogh's kern, the English suffered a great overthrow, and Mortimer was slain. ^ When news of this catastrophe... reached King Richard he flew into a mighty rage ; and although things were at this time going on very badly for him in England, yet in the midst of all his troubles and dangers, he foolishly resolved on a second expedition to Ireland, in order, as he said, to avenge the death of his cousin, and especially to chastise Mac Murrogh.
Another army was got together quite as numerous as the former. Of this unfortunate expedition we have a very interesting account, written in verse by a French gentleman who accompanied the army of the king and was an eye-witness of all the proceedings.
