Battle of Knockdoe

The Battle of Knockdoe took place on 19 August 1504 at Knockdoe, in the Parish of Lackagh, County Galway, between two Hiberno Norman lords – Gearóid Mór FitzGerald, 8th Earl of Kildare, the Lord Deputy of Ireland, and Ulick Fionn Burke, 6th Clanricarde – along with their respective Irish allies. The cause was a dispute between Maelsechlainn mac Tadhg Ó Cellaigh (O'Kelly), King of Ui Maine – Mod. Irish Uí Mháine) and Clanricarde. The major contemporary sources for this battle are the Gaelic Irish annals and a sixteenth-century manuscript written in the Pale known as "the Book of Howth".
