Note 233 — Chapter XLV

Russell’s Journal in Carew, Sept. to Dec. 1594; the Queen to the Lord Deputy and Council, and a separate letter to Russell, Oct. 31. A paper containing ‘presumptions’ against Tyrone’s loyalty belongs to the latter month of 1594, and the writer, who is evidently well informed, does not specify any actual communication between Tyrone and Spain. O’Sullivan says O’Donnell sent Archbishop O’Hely to Spain immediately after the loss of Enniskillen in February (tom. iii. lib. 2, cap. 8), and this is confirmed by Walter Reagh’s examination, April 9, 1595, who said O’Hely had gone to Spain long before.
