Note 115 — Chapter XXVIII · SURRENDER OF DUBLIN AND AFTER, 1647

For the sack of Cashel I have chiefly followed Father Andrew Sall, S.J., who was a native of the place, and who appears from internal evidence to have been at least in the neighbourhood. A translation from his Italian narrative is printed in Murphy’s Cromwell in Ireland, pp. 388-392. The Aphorismical Discovery (i. 182) says thirty priests and friars were killed; Carte says ‘near twenty.’ Carte’s Ormonde, ii. 7; Ludlow’s Memoirs, ed. Firth, i. 85; Lenihan’s Limerick, p. 161.
