    Shane O'Neill was down in Killydonnell one time fighting Calvagh O'Donnell. Calvagh was inside the Monastery, and Shane O'Neill was outside fighting to get in. Calvagh's wife preferred Shane O'Neill to her own husband. So she went outside and told her men to open the gates, and let in Shane. So the men obeyed the command. So they let in Shane and his men and then Shane O'Neill took the Monastery.
