185. NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE DUKE OF LORRAINE 329 and Reynolds from Tipperary entered Westmeath and captured Donore and Finea, with all the ammunition and stores they contained. >' Limerick and Athlone, it is true, still held out, but their capture was only a matter of time ; and although Clanricarde had some ability, and as a Catholic received greater support than Ormond, it was evident that even a much abler man, and with much stronger support would be overwhelmed. It was at this period that so...me help in money and arms was obtained from the Duke of Lorraine. Whether his desire to help Ireland came from zeal for Cathohdty, or whether this zeal was only pretended and meant to find favour at Rome, where he was seeking for a divorce from his wife, it is not easy to say. Cox and Carte are certain it was the latter ; but the Irish Cathohcs were satisfied of his zeal for their faith. So far back as the early part of 1650 one Rochefoft of Wexford, with the approval of Charles II., had requested of the Duke a svun of money for the King's service in Ireland, and had offered to hand over to him the fort of Duncannon as security for the loan, for it was as a loan, and not as a gift, the money was asked.
