    The people say that St. Colm Cille prophecied that there will be a fight in years to come between South of Ireland and the orange-men at Grange and there will be three black days and three black nights of fighting and on the third day the Irish will be victorious.
    Also that a man named Brennan shall hold the Generals' horses, and he shall have six fingers on his hand.
