Description
Abstract (cited)

In one corner of Ireland the seanchaidhe of a royal clan wrote down the story of long wars against the English from the  point of view of the Gael. This is the Caithreim Thoirdhealbhaigh, or ‘Wars of Turlogh’, the story of the struggles of De Clares and O’Briens in Thomond for fifty years from 1275 A.D. onwards, written by an eye-witness, the clan-historian, Seán Mac Craith, between 1345 and 1360.
