Note 19 — Chapter XXII · THE WAR TO THE BATTLE OF ROSS, 1642-1643

Bellings, i. 92; Carte’s Ormonde, i. 343; Smith’s Hist. of Cork; A most exact Relation of a Victory, &c., London, October 3, 1642; Digitus Dei, or a miraculous victory, London, September 20. The latter writer notes that Stephenson had ‘an exceeding rich saddle.’ A Journal of the most memorable passage in Ireland, London, October 19, 1642, by an eye-witness, notes that ‘almost all the Lords of Munster were present’—Roche, Muskerry, Ikerrin, Dunboyne, Brittas, Castleconnell, and one of Ormonde’s brothers. As to Ardmore, besides the Journal, see A True Relation of God’s Providence in Munster, which says between seventy and eighty were hanged. The letter quoted in Several Passages, &c., London, September 16, says 116, adding, ‘this is most true.’
