[209] The O’Donnell tangle may be understood from Archbishop Magrath’s report, May 30, 1592, and from the Appendix to O’Donovan’s Four Masters See also Fitzwilliam, Loftus, and Fenton to the Privy Council, Dec. 31, 1588.
[210] Four Masters, 1587; Perrott’s Life, p. 278; Tyrone to Walsingham, Dec. 10, 1587.
[211] Four Masters, 1590; Note of pledges in Dublin Castle, Aug. 1588; Fitzwilliam to Burghley, Nov. 29, 1589, and to Sir G. Carew in Carew, Jan. 15, 1591.
[212] Lord Deputy and Council to the Privy Council, Aug. 21, 1591; Sir H. Bagenal to Burghley, Aug. 13; Tyrone to the Privy Council, Oct. 31.
[213] The documents are collected in the Irish Arch. Journal, N. S. vol. i. pp. 298-314. One of Tyrone’s main grievances against Bagenal was that he would not pay him the 1,000l. reserved to his sister by her father’s will; and he continued to clamour for this money even after poor Mabel’s death.
