First Desmond Rebellion
June 1569 – 23 February 1573
Province of Munster, Ireland

Belligerents
FitzGeralds of Desmond, allied Irish clans
 
Commanders and leaders

James FitzMaurice FitzGerald, Henry Sidney, Thomas Butler, Humphrey Gilbert, John Perrot (1571–1573) 

FitzMaurice first attacked the English colony at Kerrycurihy south of Cork city in June 1569, before attacking Cork itself and those native lords who refused to join the rebellion. FitzMaurice's force of 4,500 men went on to besiege Kilkenny, seat of the Earls of Ormonde, in July. In response, Sidney mobilised 600 English troops, who marched south from Dublin and another 400 landed by sea in Cork. Thomas Butler, Earl of Ormonde, returned from London, where he had been at court, brought the Butlers out of the rebellion and mobilised Gaelic Irish clans antagonistic to the Geraldines. 

Together, Ormonde, Sidney and Humphrey Gilbert, appointed as governor of Munster, devastated the lands of FitzMaurice's allies in a scorched earth policy. FitzMaurice's forces broke up, as individual lords had to retire to defend their own territories. Gilbert, a half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, was the most notorious for terror tactics, killing civilians at random and setting up corridors of severed heads at the entrance to his camps. 

Sidney forced FitzMaurice into the mountains of Kerry, from where he launched guerrilla attacks on the English and their allies. By 1570, most of FitzMaurice's allies had submitted to Sidney. The most important, Donal MacCarthy Mór, surrendered in November 1569. Nevertheless, the guerrilla campaign continued for three more years. In February 1571, John Perrot was made Lord President of Munster. He pursued FitzMaurice with 700 troops for over a year without success. FitzMaurice had some victories, capturing an English ship near Kinsale and burning the town of Kilmallock in 1571, but by early 1573 his force was reduced to less than 100 men. FitzMaurice finally submitted on 23 February 1573, having negotiated a pardon for his life. However, in 1574, he became landless, and in 1575 he sailed to France to seek help from the Catholic powers to start another rebellion.[1] 

Gerald FitzGerald, Earl of Desmond, and his brother, John, were released from prison to reconstruct their shattered territory. Under a settlement imposed after the rebellion, known as "composition", the Desmonds' military forces were limited by law to just 20 horsemen; their tenants were made to pay rent to them rather than supply military service or quarter their soldiers. Perhaps the biggest winner of the first Desmond Rebellion was the Earl of Ormonde, who established himself as the most powerful lord in the south of Ireland due to siding with the English crown. 

All of the local chiefs had submitted by the end of the rebellion. The methods used to suppress it provoked lingering resentment, especially among the Irish mercenaries; gall óglaigh or gallowglass as the English termed them, who had rallied to FitzMaurice. William Drury, Lord President of Munster from 1576, executed around 700 of these men in the years after the rebellion. 

In the aftermath of the uprising, Gaelic customs such as Brehon Laws, Irish dress, bardic poetry and the maintaining of "private armies" were again outlawed and suppressed – things that were deeply valued in traditional Irish society. FitzMaurice had emphasised the Gaelic character of the rebellion, wearing Irish dress, speaking only Irish and referring to himself as the taoiseach of the Geraldines. Irish landowners continued to be threatened by the arrival of English colonists to settle on land confiscated from the Irish. All of these factors meant that, when FitzMaurice returned from Europe to start a new rebellion, plenty of people in Munster were willing to join him. 

The Second Desmond rebellion (1579–1583)

This was the more widespread and bloody of the two Desmond Rebellions launched by the FitzGerald dynasty of Desmond in Munster, Ireland, against English rule in Ireland. The second rebellion began in July 1579 when James FitzMaurice FitzGerald landed in Ireland with a force of Papal troops, triggering an insurrection across the south of Ireland on the part of the Desmond dynasty, their allies and others who were dissatisfied for various reasons with English government of the country. The rebellion ended with the 1583 death of Gerald FitzGerald, 15th Earl of Desmond, and the defeat of the rebels. 

The rebellion was in equal part a protest by feudal lords against the intrusion of central government into their domains; a conservative Irish reaction to English policies that were altering traditional Gaelic society; and a religious conflict, in which the rebels claimed that they were upholding Catholicism against a Protestant queen who had been pronounced a heretic in 1570 by the papal bull Regnans in Excelsis. 

The result of the rebellions was the destruction of the Desmond dynasty and the subsequent Munster Plantations – the colonisation of Munster with English settlers. In addition, the fighting laid waste to a large part of the south of Ireland. War-related famine and disease are thought to have killed up to a third of Munster's pre-war population. 

After three years of scorched earth warfare by the English, Munster was racked by famine. In April 1582, the provost marshal of Munster, Sir Warham St Leger, estimated that 30,000 people had died of hunger in the previous six months. Plague broke out in Cork city, to where the country people had fled to avoid the fighting. People continued to die of starvation and plague long after the war had ended, and it is estimated that by 1589 one-third of the province's population had died -

“In those late wars in Munster; for notwithstanding that the same was a most rich and plentiful country, full of corn and cattle, that you would have thought they could have been able to stand long, yet ere one year and a half they were brought to such wretchedness, as that any stony heart would have rued the same. Out of every corner of the wood and glens they came creeping forth upon their hands, for their legs could not bear them; they looked Anatomies [of] death, they spoke like ghosts crying out of their graves; they did eat of the carrions, happy where they could find them, yea, and one another soon after, in so much as the very carcasses they spared not to scrape out of their graves; and if they found a plot of water-cresses or shamrocks, there they flocked as to a feast for the time, yet not able long to continue therewithal; that in a short space there were none almost left, and a most populous and plentiful country suddenly left void of man or beast.”
 

Kinsale 1601 

The re-conquest was completed during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I, after several bloody conflicts. The Desmond Rebellions (1569–1573 and 1579–1583) took place in the southern province of Munster, when the Fitzgerald Earl of Desmond dynasty resisted the imposition of an English governor into the province. The second of these rebellions was put down by means of a forced famine, which may have killed up to a third of Munster's population. The most serious threat to English rule in Ireland came during the Nine Years War 1594–1603, when Hugh O'Neill and Hugh O'Donnell the most powerful chieftain's in the northern province of Ulster rebelled against English government. This war developed into a nationwide revolt where O'Neill and O'Donnell successfully obtained military aid from Spain, which was then in conflict with England during the Anglo-Spanish War. A Spanish expeditionary force was defeated by English forces at the Battle of Kinsale in 1601. O'Neill and his allies eventually surrendered to the new Stuart King, James I, in 1603. After this point, the English authorities in Dublin established real control over Ireland for the first time, bringing a centralised form of justice to the entire island, and successfully disarmed the various lordships, both Irish and Old English. O'Neill, O'Donnell and their allies subsequently fled Ireland for good in the Flight of the Earls in 1607. This removed the last major obstacle to English government in Ireland.
 

1641-1691 

The fifty years from 1641 to 1691 saw two catastrophic periods of civil war in Ireland 1641–53 and 1689–91, which killed hundreds of thousands of people and left others in permanent exile. The wars, which pitted Irish Catholics against British forces and Protestant settlers, ended in the almost complete dispossession of the Catholic landed elite. 

As punishment for the rebellion of 1641, almost all lands owned by Irish Catholics were confiscated and given to British settlers. The remaining Catholic landowners were transplanted to Connacht. See also Act of Settlement 1652. In addition, Catholics were barred from the Irish Parliament altogether, forbidden to live in towns and from marrying Protestants (although not all of these laws were strictly enforced). It has been calculated that up to a third of Ireland's population (4-600,000 people) died in these wars, either in fighting, or in the accompanying famine and plague. The Cromwellian conquest therefore left bitter memories - to say the least - in Irish popular culture.

From a Cork Historical Society Paper in 1906 

Tradition has it that Randal Hurley, the founder of the castle, spent many years in Spain. Returning he married Catherine O'Cullinane daughter of the physician to McCarthy Reaghs. That they possessed wealth and power is evident from the possessions they had, the connections they made with the McCarthies and De Courcies, and the traditions of the country. In a note by D. McCarthy Glas, on the McCarthys of Gleannacroim, and the Hurleys of Ballinacarriga Castle, he says there is an unbroken succession of Randal Oges from 1530 to 1740, of no fewer than eight.  

Besides Ballinacarriga and Ballinivard which they built, the O'Hurleys also owned Derry Castle, and Monteen and Ballinvoher, built by the McCarthys in 1631. Dermod O'Hurley, surnamed Tresalia, or "light-footed," is said to have owned them in James II's time (reigned 1685-1688)(???) 

A daughter of Randal Oge, who built the castle, and died 1631, married Dermod M'Daniel Carty alias MacCrimen, of Ballinroher. Randal is said by tradition to have been at the siege of Kinsale. Randal Oge fought for James at Limerick, and joined the forces under Sarsfield for France, leaving his disconsolate wife behind, who was his own cousin, Ellen O'Cullinane, daughter of ( ?????? ) so called on account of his gold tooth. 

The celebrated fair of Ballyboy, near Dunmanway, is called in Irish
“??????????”  Fair of Randal Oge. Ranell Oge Hurley, gent.
Dec. 19, 1615, Nydenagh More, a Fair, on 25 July and day after; rent 6s. 8d. Ir.
 

Intermarriages of the Hurleys and de Courceys:—

Edmond Oge de Courcey of Kilnacloona, married Julianna, daughter of Dermod Mac Teige O'Hurley, chief of his ancient sept, and was father of John de Courcey, i8th Lord Kingsale, who, 1601, fought against the Spaniards at Kinsale. His only daughter, Ellen, married Randal Hurley, of Ballynacarrigy, Esq. His son, Randal Oge, married Helen, daughter of Sir John Fitzgerald of Dromana, Co. Waterford, widow of Gerald, 19th Lord Kingsale. [Note. — Randal married twice (i) a daughter of Teige Onorsie McCarthy; (2) Ellen de Courcey.]  


BOOK OF DISTRIBUTION

(Ex Wiki – see data following)

Books of Survey and Distribution were compiled around 1680 as the result of the wars of the mid-seventeenth century after the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, when the English government needed reliable information on land ownership throughout Ireland to carry out its policy of land confiscation. They were used to impose the acreable rent called the Quit Rent, which was payable yearly on lands granted under terms of the Acts of Settlement and Explanation.

It is possible to discover to whom, if anyone, the confiscated lands were granted so that we have a record of landowners for 1641 and 1680. As a result, it is possible to determine the amount of lands lost by the 1641 owners after the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and to discover the names of the new proprietors.

The Books of Survey and Distribution form part of the Annesley Papers. They consist of 22 volumes and each volume includes an 'alphabet' which is an index of denominations. The text includes a physical description of each barony, with details of woods, bogs, rivers, soil, etc. The information is laid out in tabular form on a barony and parish basis. The details include: "Proprietors in 1641 by the Civil Survey", "Denominations of lands by the Downe Survey", "Number of acres distributed", "persons to whom distributed" and "Rent per annum payable to His Majesty".

Drom Drastail
(Drom-treas-coill, Dúnmaonmhuighe)

A few gollauns are to be seen in the townland of Drom-treas-coill, anglicised Droumdrastil. A battle was fought in this townland, the combatants being the McCarthys of Gleann-a-Chroim and the O'Donovans of Castle Donovan. It is said locally that the McCarthys were victorious, and that after the battle, the dead on both sides were removed for internment. Some time afterwards, the dead bodies were found in the battlefield, and tradition states that these bodies were buried at the spot, where now stand the Gollauns.

The old name-makers gave the name Drom-treas-coill to the townland, and a very suitable name it is.

Drom = a ridge

treas = a battle

coill = a wood

I got this information from Dómhnall 'ac Coitir of Doire na Cathrach who died about ten years ago - aged 89 years.

O CONNELL TRIBUTE FOR 1845 - UNITED PARISHES OF DUNMANWAY AND BALLYMONY
Hurly, James 2/- 

A very small extract from - “EVICTIONS IN KENNEIGH & BALLYMONEY 1847 - OPEN LETTER TO THE EARL OF BANDON” - (signed by “AN OBSERVER - Kenneigh, Feb. 1845”)

“In my last letter I informed your Lordship that I knew your Kenneigh and Ballymoney tenantry well! – would to God! that you, their landlord, knew them half so well; then would your undoubted good nature make you retain, endear to you, not cast from your poor Catholics, whose only fault is their strong, steady, unflinching attachment to the religion of their forefathers. ‘God help the poor’ is often said nowadays. I particularize the phrase, and say – ‘God help the poor Catholics of Munigane! – what will the Murphys, the Crowlys, the Hurlys, the Sullivans and Nyhan that your Agents dispossed the other day, of lands and dwellings, that they and their fathers have occupied longer than your Lordship’s Castle Bernard, do now?”

Irish Flax Growers (CORK), 1796 

The Irish Linen Board published a list of nearly 60,000 individuals in 1796.  Spinning wheels were awarded based on the number of acres planted. People who planted one acre were awarded 4 spinning wheels and those growing 5 acres were awarded a loom. Donegal and Tyrone had the highest number of awards. Dublin and Wicklow were not included in this list. These extracts contain the name, parish and county. The barony was listed instead of the parish in a few of the records. Also known as the Spinning Wheel list or the Flax Growers Bounty. There are 1,071 listed in Co Cork, over most of West Cork, some as far as Bantry, but these are the only Hurleys.
