    When the chief's daughter was married, a banquet was held her honour, and the O'Flynns were invited.The enemies knew of the banquet, and they knew that the O'Flynns and the other clan would be tired in the following night, and thus they planned to go to the residence at "Tóin Na Cille" and to get the sword. About midnight on the following night, the enemy clan [?] crossed the Shannon, and on reaching the residence at "Tóin Na Cille" they murdered every one of the clan [?] except "Eibhlín Na nGadhar".
