“Shortly after the rebellion of 1798, Michael Dwyer, the Wicklow chieftain, met a representative of the Hume family...”
(continued from previous page)They expected to capture Michael Dwyer.
Michael was at Mass, and word was brought to him that the yeos were outside
Kneeling beside him was an old woman named Mrs Fallon, who wore a cloak with a hood common to those days.
In stature she was equal to Dwyer, so she took off her cloak and induced him to put it on.
Enveloped in this cloak with the hood around his head and face he made his escape
