The Danes intending the fool conquest of Ireland, continued theire invasion in Ireland from time to tyme, useing all manner of crueltyes euer untill the latter end of king Brian Borowes raigne, by whome they were either Drowned or slaine in the Battle of Clontarfe, where himselfe alsoe was slaine, & the Danes quite overthrone & expelled out of the kingdome. They were most troblesome to this land, & continued putting their crueltyes in execution, 219 years during the Raignes of 12 kings, & still the natives, by all means Possible, withstood them during that time. Divers great fleetes & armyes of them arriued in Ireland, one after another, under the the leading of sundry Great & valiant Captaines as Awus, Lir, Fatha, Turgesius, Imer, Dowgeann, Imar of Limbrick, Swanchean, Griffin a herauld, ffyn, Croislagh, Albord Roe, Tobert o’Duffe, Tor, Wasbagh, Gotman, Allgot, Turkill, Trevan, Cossar, Crouantyne, Boyvinn, Beisson, the Read Daughter, Tormyn mcKeilebaron, Robert Moylann, Walter English, Goshlyn, Tahamore, Brught & Awley K. of Denmark & K. of the Land in Ireland called Fingall, Ossill, and the sonnes of Imer, Ranell o’Hemer, Costry Hemer Ottyre Earle, and Altyre Duff earle. The aforesaid Captaines & other armyes Did ouerunn all Ireland to utter Destruction allmost to Both sides. The Irishmen striuing to Defend theire Patrimony & Liberties which themselves & their forefathers enjoyed, the Danes as a most barbarous, Riotous, Proud Tyranicall & ungodly people of Infidles to conquer them, & after conquering them using them much worse than the Turks doe the Christians now a Dayes, useing theire cruelty with all the Spight and Tyranny that could be Devised. There was noe Province, Contry, Teritory, Citty, or Principall towen or Good village that had not a Governour of the Danes to oversee it, and that by the name of soeveraigne or Lord Dane, which commanded the Place wherein he executed his charge in as ample manner as if he had been lord and absolute king thereof. As many women as they coud lay hands on, noble or ignoble, young or ould, married or unmarried, whatsoever birth or adge they were of, were by them abused most beastly, and filthily, and such of them as they liked best, were by them sent over seas into their one countryes there to be kept by them to use theire unlawfull lusts. They had another Custome that the cheefe Governour of them should have the bestowinge of any woman in the kingdome the next night after her marriage to whom hee pleased, or keepe her to himselfe that night to satisfie his lust. There was noe creature Living from the smallest chicken to the Greatest and full growen beast, but paid a yearly Tribute to theire K, noe not soe much as the youngest infant newly borne, but paid a noble in silver or gold or the nose from the bare bone. If the owner of the house where a Deane would lodge, had noe more in the world to live upon but one milch cowe for the maintenance of himselfe and his familie, he was compelled presently to kill her to make the Dane good cheere, if it were not otherwise Redeemed with money or some other good Thing to his Likeing. The howses of religion generally throughout the whole K.dome were by them turned to be Brothell houses, stables, & houses of easment. Yea, the sacred alters of God, that saints had in great Reverence were broken, abused & cast down by them most scornfully, Pagan-like and wickedly, to the great Grief of all Christian people. The great Tamberlane, called the scorge of God, could not be compared to them for Cruelty, Couetousness & Insolency.

[Flann, son of Conaing, lord of all Brega, gathered the men of Brega, Laigin, and foreigners at Cell ua nDaigri. His full force was five thousand against the king Áed Finnliath. Áed had only one thousand including Conchobor, son of Tadc the great, king of the Connachta. The battle was fought fervently and eagerly between them. A defeat at last, by force of fight and conflict, of the men of Brega, of the Laigin, and of the foreigners, and they were slaughtered, and a great multitude of foreigners fell in that battle. There fell Flann, son of Conaing, lord of Brega; Diarmait, son of Etarscél, lord of Loch Gabair, and Carlus, son of Óláfr, son of the lord of the foreigners. There fell on the other side, Fachtna, son of Máel Dúin, prince of Fochla, in the counter-attack of the battle. Manachán, lord of Uí Briúin na Sinna, slew Flann, of which was said:

Great the victory of Manachán,
for the champion of fierce weapons;
the head of the son of Conaing in his hand,
from fighting in the presence of the son of Tadc.

It was concerning the lords of Síl Muireadhaigh who came to the battle of Cell ua nDaigri, that this was told:

Though everyone should give his judgement,
of the complete lie which he swore,
these are the eleven men
who went into the battle to protect him.

There went into battle to assist him,
Finnachta and Follamain;
Máenach, good the disposition of the horseman;
and Tadc, son of Tomaltach;

Flannacán, refined chief of the company,
and beautiful Mughrón, grandson of Cathal;
Manachán was well disposed;
and Aidit, grandson of Máel Míchíl.

The poet of Áed said before the battle, he sang:

There is coming across fair Finnabair
A comely brown warrior band, across the fierce chief river.
It is in hundreds the foreigners are reckoned,
to battle against the king of great Etar.

Áed sang:

Good our cause, good our expedition,
the strength of a hundred heroes in our body;
Rise up! do a feat!
kill the herd around the boar!

A poet sang:

At Cell ua nDaigri this day,
Ravens will taste sips of blood,
It will be a defeat against the phantom army of foreigners,
and against Flann; it will not be fortunate for him.

Áed sang:

The troops of the Laigin are coming with him,
with the fighter of the strident Bóand.
It is this which plays a trick on Flann:
the battle standards of the foreigners [who were] with him.

Áed sang:

Inflict the poison of your speech upon him,
upon the undutiful son of Dubsach;
Strong our support, may Christ protect us,
they are coming into the pass of danger.

Of the same battle was said:

You know what he did,
wise son of Níall of Ailech
fair Áed, with trophies,
in the south at Cell ua nDaigri,

Ten hundred to their graves,
according to the ways of his kingship,
In the strife he ascended,
he defeated five thousand.

Loisín, the poet of Flann, said this:

Monday, day of omens,
we went to Belach Átha.
The precious men were struck down;
dear familiar faces.

The mother of Flann, the daughter of Níall, said this:

[It is] fortunate, unfortunate, good news, bad news;
the defeat of a mighty overwhelming battle.
Fortunate for the king who was elated by it;
unfortunate for the king who was defeated.

Unfortunate for the army of Leth Cuinn,
they fell by the phantoms of Sláine.
Fortunate the inauguration of great Áed,
and unfortunate the extinction of Flann.

The mother of Flann, moreover:

The silence, silence,
which the son of Conaing makes of the battle-field.
Let us entreat the King, who is master of every place,
to help the womb which brought [Flann] forth.]
