MacCarthy's involvement in the Nine Years War (1595-1603) led to his arrest by the crown government, and he spent the last 40 years of his life in custody in London. His lands were distributed among his relatives and English colonists." . A Very Scarce Book. Images available on Request. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall .
