As the companion tells it
Somewhere around here, in the year 938, Suibhne, son of Cu-Breatan, Abbot of Slaine, was killed by foreign raiders. He was one of several churchmen who met death at their hands that same year. Flann Ua Cathail suffered martyrdom at Cluain-an-dobhair by the foreigners, and Coibhdeanach, Abbot of Cill-achaidh, was drowned in the sea while fleeing from them. The annals name Suibhne plainly among the dead, giving no further detail of how or where the killing happened, only that the foreigners were responsible. Slaine was an ancient monastery site, associated with Saint Erc and the Hill of Slane, and its abbot would have been a figure of standing in the church of Meath. The foreigners were Norse raiders who had been attacking Irish monasteries for generations by this time. The annal entry tells you nothing more of Suibhne himself, his age, or how long he had held the abbacy. It simply records the fact of his killing and moves on to the other deaths and events of that year.

As the companion tells it
As you pass through Cork, you are near the place the annals call Corcach-mor, in Munster. In the year 1081, the annals record that Corcach-mor was burned, both houses and churches. Cill-Dalua, now Killaloe, was burned the same year. The annal entries are spare and do not say who set the fires or why. They simply note the fact among the deaths and slayings of that year, when several nobles and churchmen died across Ireland. So Cork's burning stands recorded in the Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland as one event in a year of much violence.

As the companion tells it
Coming up near Kildare now. In the year 998, this place, then known as Cill-dara, was plundered by the foreigners of Ath-cliath. Ath-cliath is Dublin, so this was a raid by the Dublin Norse. The Annals record it plainly under the Age of Christ, 998, the twentieth year of Maelseachlainn. The same year saw other violence across Ireland. Donnchadh, son of Domhnall, was taken prisoner by Sitric, son of Amhlaeibh, lord of the foreigners, and by Maelmordha, son of Murchadh. An army was led by the king, Maelseachlainn, and by Brian, son of Ceinneidigh, to Gleann Mama, where the foreigners of Ath-cliath came to attack them. But the annal gives no detail here about who fell in Kildare or what was taken. The record simply states the plundering as fact, one more entry in a year of raids and battles.

Tasach, patron saint of Rath-Cholptha, now Raholp
Raholp · townland · Down
Tasach, one of Patrick's three artificers, was the patron saint of Rath-Cholptha, now Raholp village, near Saul, in County Down.
Read the passage
Book of Lecan, they are called Eppiu 7 Oite 4 Taran, and nevertheless in Flann’s poem, which is given as the authority for that list, they are called Qippmize, Taimll, Capac. The last only has been identified. He was the patron saint of Rath-Cholptha, now Raholp village, near Saul, in the county of Down. The other two names have been so corrupted by transcribers that they are difficult to determine. Colgan thinks that Hssa should be Ossa, or Ossan, as Patrick had a disciple of that name, whose memory was venerated at Trim, in Meath. He makes no attempt at identifying Bite, or Biteus. The Irish Calendar of O’Clery gives a saint of that name at 22nd July, as Biteus, abbot of Inis-Cumhscraidhe, now Inishcourcy, near Downpatrick. Tairill is found in Flann’s poem only.

Niall Ua Mordha, lord of Laeighis, was released from fetters by the King of Leinster, Diarmaid Mac Murchadha, after he had been blinded against the guarantee of the laity and clergy. Muirgheas, grandson of Murchadh (or Muircheartach) Odhar, chief of Clann-Tomaltaigh, died. Donncathaigh, son of Aireachtach Ua Rodhuibh, died after a good life. An army was led by Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair, to Doire-an-ghabhlain", against Mac Murchadha, King of Leinster, and took away the daughter of Ua Maeleachlainn, with her cattle, from him, so that she was in the power of the men of Meath. On this occasion Tighearnan Ua Ruairc came into his house, and left him hostages. Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain was banished into the north of Ireland by Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair ; and Munster was divided into two parts between Tadhg Ua Briain and Diarmaid, son of Cormac, son of Muireadhach, son of Carthach. An army was led by Muircheartach, son of Niall Mac Lochlainn, and the people of the north of Ireland, to relieve Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain, and restore him to the kingdom of Munster ; and they came to Craebhteine’. Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair assembled the Connaughtmen, and marched to Magh-Lice- Padraig* against the Northerns. Tadhg Ua Briain arrived with his forces at Raithin-Ui-Shuanaigh!, to assist the Connaughtmen, and both proceeded to Magh-Cisi™. Ua Lochlainn then set out with two battalions of the flower of his army across Ath-Maighne”, leaving the remainder of his army (all except these) at Craebh-teine ; and he marched with this small force to attack the camp of Tadhg Ua Briain, and he defeated him, and made a slaughter of his people. He also defeated the cavalry of Leinster. He then returned to his own camp at Craebh-teine, carrying off many cows, after plundering some of the men of Teathbha. He set out thence to attack the Connaughtmen, and arrived at Iseal-Chiarain. Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair proceeded westwards across Ath-Luain.

As the companion tells it
You're coming through Athlone, the crossing the annals call Ath-Luain. In 1153, this was the line of retreat for Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair, King of Connacht. He had banished Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain into the north and divided Munster between Tadhg Ua Briain and Diarmaid, son of Cormac. But Muircheartach Mac Lochlainn led the northern army south to restore the banished man, and the two sides manoeuvred across the midlands. Ua Lochlainn defeated Tadhg Ua Briain at his camp, slaughtered his people, and routed the cavalry of Leinster. He then turned to attack the Connaughtmen and arrived at Iseal-Chiarain. It was at that point that Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair proceeded westwards across Ath-Luain, pulling back through this crossing. His son Ruaidhri and the battalion of West Connaught reached Fordruim, but as they were pitching their camp there, the heroes of the North poured upon them. The annals cut off at that moment, and what followed is not in the record before you.
