Note 213 — Chapter XXXIV · CLANRICARDE AND IRETON, 1651

This account is taken from the narrative enclosed in Broghill’s letter to Lenthall, dated Mallow, July 28, and printed by order of Parliament along with another dated Blarney, August 1. A copy is abstracted in the Calendar of State Papers, Ireland, addenda p. 303. Notes in Broghill’s own hand, preserved at Lismore, are printed in Smith’s Hist. of Cork, but wrongly placed under 1652. Journal in Contemp. Hist., iii. 246; Ludlow, i. 276. ‘My boldest horse being twice wounded,’ Broghill writes, ‘became so fearful that he was turned to the coach.’ Some accounts call this the battle of Knocknaclashy.
