cuig fiche An Bhealtaine, or in Welsh, pymp ugain Mai "FLITTING DAY - the day on which leases were up in Scotland. Tenants decided if they would sign another lease or move -- to sit or flit." "In 1315 Irish ally, Edward Bruce of Scotland, arrives in Ireland." He landed at Larne harbour( then called Olderfleet) with 6,000 troops in mail. He was joined by Robert Byset, lord of the Glens of Antrim and Donal O'Neill, son of Brian Edward was the brother of Robert the Bruce. Edward was the earl of Carrick in Galloway. The victory at bannockburn had occurred the year before and Edward was looking for things to do. He had thousands of unemployed veterans. He wanted to form an anti-English alliance with Ireland. His father-in-law was the Earl of Ulster. Edward won all his battles except for the last. But hopefully we can finish this later when the appropriate dates come up on the calendar.
