the intervention of the Earl of Thomond, who was a relative of hers. Tadhg died in Rome, apparently late in 1614. He was a brother to Cu Chonnacht Ó Cianáin. Relatives in Ireland In the aftermath of the departure, Ó Cianáin's property, valued at £22 6 shillings 2 pence, was seized, but later returned to his wife at the behest of Donogh O'Brien, 4th Earl of Thomond. Thomond claimed to be a relative of Ó Cianáin's wife, possibly via the mysterious Donnchadh mac Mathgamhain Ó Briain who travelled with Rory Ó Donnell, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell. No further information is available on his children, if he had any. His brother, Cu Chonnacht Ó Cianáin, was tortured on the rack and hanged in Derry in July 1615. Other works On 28 March 1627, while collecting materials for what would become the Annals of the Four Masters, Mícheál Ó Cléirigh made use of some hagiographical material written by him, since lost. (Walsh, 1996). Ó Muraíle (2007, p. 22) identifies this text as Ionnarba Mochuda a Rathain (The Banishment of St Mochuda from Rahan)—see Mo Chutu of Lismore. The original manuscript does not appear to have survived. Notes References Oxford Concise Companion to Irish Literature, Robert Welsh, 1996.
