  2. Caisleán Mhaigh Chromtha - ó 1650 go dtí an Lá Inniu

    Share Share Post
    Sé an tráth is tábhachtaighe i Stair an chaisleáin ná an tráth nuair a bhí cath i bPáirc an Chaisleáin; an cath ar a dtugtar "Cath Mhághcromtha." Sa bhlian 1650, bhí Cluain Meala dhá ionnsuidhe ag arm Chromaill. Tháinig Mac Aodhagáín, Easbog an Ruis, go dtí Mághcromtha agus bhailig sé arm i bpáirc an Chaisleáin. Bhí 4,000 de cheithearnaig agus 300 de mharchaigh aige - 4,300 saighdiúrí ar fad. Bhí sé idir dhá chómhairle dul go Cluain Meala nó fanamhaint mar a bhí sé, mar bhí fhios aige go gcuirfeadh an sluagh seo eagla ar an namhaid agus go h-imtheóchaidís ó'n mbaile.
    Nuair d'airigh Cromail go raibh sé ag teacht 'na choinnibh le h-arm láídir, chuir sé an Tighearna Broghill ó dheas chun sluaighte an Easbuig do sgaramhaint. Tháínig 2,000 marcach agus 1600 ceithearnach leis.
