Summary

Some information on Mac 'ic Ailein.

Mention of Mac 'ic Ailein and the building of Ormaclete Castle. It was burned down in a fire which started in the kitchen, when venison was being cooked.

He was killed in battle, but perhaps he would have been spared had he believed in the charm he was given before setting off.
