Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland, 1856, Vol. 2 Bealach-Mughna: i. e. Mughain´s Road or Pass, Via Muganioe, now Ballaghmoon, in the south of the county of Kildare, and about two miles and a half north of the town of Carlow; not Ballymoon, in the county of Carlow, as Dr. Lanigan asserts in his Ecclesiastical History of Ireland, vol. iii. p. 351. - See Circuit of Muir-cheartach Mac Neill, p. 38. The site of this battle is still pointed out at the place, and the stone on which King Cormac´s head was cut off by a common soldier is shewn. Keating gives a curious account of this battle in his History of Ireland, from a historical tract called Cath-BealaigJi-Mughna, or Battle of Bal-laghmoon, not now accessible. It is translated by Dr. John Lynch as follows, p. 231, et sequent.: "Septennii illius, quo rerum omnium aíllu-entia Hiberniam abundasse diximus, jam finis appetebat, cum nonnulli Momoniæ Proceres, et Flaibhertachus Immuneni filius, Abbas Insulæ Cahiæ, Regia stirpe oriundus, crebris suasioni-bus Cormacum hortari non destiterunt, ut a Lagenicnsibus Tributum, uel illato bello, exigeret; utpoté qui cum Leighmoighæ adscribe-rentur, Leighmoighæ Regi vectigal, ex veteri pacto inter Moghum Nuadathum et Connum Centipræslium seu Centimachum icto, pendere obstringerentur: His insusurrationibus aures Cormacus, non autem assensum præbuit, quid-piam se de tanti ponderis negotio ante staturum negans, quam ad Procerum consilium integrum deferretur. Regni itaque Patribus in vnum locum propere coactis, rem aperuit, insuper pollicitus, quidquid illis decernere placuisset, id se non grauate adimpleturum. Negotium haud diu agitatum erat, cum suffragiis conspi-rantibus decretum emanavit, ut Lageniæ bellum inferretur, et Tributum, quod pendere dudum Lagenienses superbe negligebant, ab ipsis uel invitis, extorqueretur. Cormacus intimis sen-sibus angebatur, suos sancivisse bellum Lagenias infcrendum, quod præsagiebat animus, non sine indico coelitus misso, eo se periturum bello: rescindere tamen concilii decreta noluit; ne promissi fidem non præstitisse argueretur.
