Battle of Bellaghmoon
The Battle of Bellaghmoon (old irish: Belach Mugna) took place on 13 September 908. It was fought between the armies of Flann Sinna and Cormac mac Cuilennáin at Bellaghmoon, near Castledermot in the south of modern County Kildare.
==Background==
The war started when Cormac mac Cuilennáin and an adviser Flaithbertach mac Inmainén assembled an army to campaign against their eastern neighbours, Leinster, whose king Cerball mac Muirecáin was Flann Sinna's son-in-law and staunch ally. The ''Fragmentary Annals of Ireland'', a source compiled in the 11th century for Donnchad mac Gilla Pátraic, king of Osraige, and king of Leinster, contain a long account of these events, perhaps written within living memory.〔Wiley, "Cath Belaig Mugna".〕
Before the battle many men had deserted Cormac, because while riding through the camp Flaithbertach's horse stumbled and threw him to the ground. This, it is said, was taken to be a very bad omen. Many of the Munstermen were unwilling to fight, and news of this came to Cerball mac Muirecáin, who proposed a negotiated settlement. The Leinstermen would pay tribute, and give hostages, but the hostages would be given to Móenachm abbot of ''Diseart Díarmata'' (Castledermot, modern County Kildare), rather than to the Munstermen. Cormac, it is said, was willing to accept this settlement, but Flaithbertach—Byrne refers to him as "Cormac's evil genius"〔Byrne, ''Irish Kings'', p. 214〕— was not and persuaded Cormac to fight, in spite of the king's conviction that he would be killed.〔Wiley, "Cath Belaig Mugna"; Russell, "Cormac"; ''Fragmentary Annals'', FA 423.〕
