1385 battle in Ireland
The Battle of Tochar Cruacháin Brà Eile or Cruachán Brà Eile took place in 1385 near what is now the village of Croghan in County Offaly, Ireland.[1] The battle pitted the Gaelic forces of Uà Failghe, led by Murchadh Ó Conchobhair, against the Normans. The army of Uà Failghe was victorious. “Nugent of Meath, Chambers and his son, and a countless host of the chiefs and plebeians of the English were slain”, according to the Annals of the Four Masters.[2]
