Black Lion Enniskillen From The Middle

The Annals of The Four Masters under the year 1594 state M1594.7 O Donnell as we have stated was encamped laying siege to Enniskillen from the middle of June to the month of August until the warders of the castle had consumed almost all their provisions Messengers came to O'Donnell from the Scots whom he had before invited over to inform him that they had arrived at Derry And those who had come thither were Donnell Gorm Mac Donnell and Mac Leod of Ara O'Donnell then set out with a small number of his forces to hire them and he left another large party of them with Maguire to assist him and he ordered them to remain blockading the castle.


These chieftains, having afterwards met together went to Cavan O'Reilly's town for provisions and they proceeded through Fermanagh keeping Lough Erne on the right until they arrived within about four miles of the town When Maguire (Hugh) received intelligence that these forces were marching towards the town with the aforesaid provisions he set out with his own forces.
