Annals

Annals of the Four Masters^[1]

AFM1365,6 Hugh Mac Dermot made an incursion into the country of the Muintir Eolais, and committed great depredations upon them, but not with impunity; for Cormac Mac Dermot Roe, General Biatach of Connaught; the two sons of Cormac O'Beirne, Melaghlin Dall and Gilchreest, and many others, were slain by the Muintir Eolais, who went in pursuit of the prey. After the defeat of their people, Dermot Mac Dermot and Mulrony, son of Donough Reagh, were taken prisoners.

Annála Connacht^[2]

AC1365.5 Another attack was made by Aed Mac Diarmata on the p.327 Muinter Eolais, and this time great plunderings and depredations were committed against them. Yet these raids were not unpunished; for Cormac son of Diarmait Ruad [Mac Diarmata] and the two sons of Tomaltach O Birn, Maelsechlainn Caecus and Gilla Crist, were killed, while Diarmait Mac Diarmata and Maelruanaid son of Donnchad Riabach [Mac Diarmata] were captured. This defeat was called the Defeat of the Young Warriors ever since.
