Note 74 — Chapter XXVI · FIGHTING NORTH AND SOUTH—RINUCCINI, 1645

Castlehaven’s summons to Cappoquin is dated April 14, 1645, Youghal Council Book, 552. Mitchelstown fell May 7 or 8, ib. lii. Castlehaven’s Memoirs, 54-56. For Castlehaven’s effort to make his soldiers respect capitulations, see ib. 61. Bellings, iv. 8. Writing to the Parliament, Broghill says Colonel ‘Ridgway, though drunk, killed nine men that day with his own hand. His drunkenness was owing to two tumblers of ryley ale, which he had from the Irish sutler’—Smith’s Cork, ed. Day, ii. 88.
