With these forces he encountered, at Moanmore, the army of the south, and defeated them, with the enormous loss of 7,000 men a slaughter unparalleled throughout the war of succession. Every leading house in North Munster mourned the loss of either its chief or its tanist; some great families lost three, five, or seven brothers on that sanguinary day.

In the same year but whether before or after the Munster campaign is uncertain an Ulster force having marched into Sligo, Thorlogh met them near the Curlew mountains, and made peace with their king.
