Battle of Farsetmore - The Battle
O’Neill crossed into Tir Connell (O’Donnell territory) by crossing the River Swilly about a mile north of Letterkenny. O’Donnell attacked him at a place called Farsetmore. Both sides are estimated at about 2000 men and were composed of similar troops, Cavalry, composed of nobles, gallowglass mercenaries and clan levies.
O’Donnell’s horsemen harassed O’Neill as his men were fording the river. Then, the two sides fought hand to hand combat. The O’Donnell horse got the better of O’Neill’s cavalry, precipitating a general retreat on behalf of O’Neill’s force. The O’Donnells pursued them back over the river Swilly– causing many of them to drown.
O’Neill lost between 600 and 1300 men killed. Looking for fresh troops, he turned to the MacDonnells of Antrim for an alliance. However, they had him murdered and sent his head to the English authorities in Dublin.
