OTD 1601 Chichester getting his murder on-reported raids across Lough Neagh 'in which journeys we have killed above 100 people of all sorts, besides such as were burnt, how many I know not. We spare none of what quality or sex soever, & it hath bred much terror' #nineyearswar

Chichester added some detail should Mountjoy lack the imagination 'The last service was upon Patrick O'Quin, whose house and town was burnt, wife, son, children and people slain, himself...dead of a hurt received in flying from his house, and other gentlemen which received blows'
