43 | 1344 | An inquisition, held in Cork in 1344, concerns a quarrel that arose between various Barrys over tenancy of land around Rathcormac. Adam de Barry, of Rathcormac, did not wish to be a tenant of a David de Barry or to attend his court. David distrained against him for default and so Adam gathered a band of men together to wage war against David and all his people throughout the county of Cork. Oliver Tirry and Nicholas Fitz Adam Tirry were part of this band. | They beat up the sheriff of Castlellethan, killed Philip son of Nicholas Malenfaunt. They burned Laghare near Castlellethan and robbed and stole from the friars of Carmel. They were welcomed by Maurice, son of Thomas the Earl of Desmond, who let them ride about armed throughout county Cork and elsewhere. Adam fitz William de Barry of Rathcormac, sued David in Dublin for the entire Barry inheritance. In another inquisition at Youghal, in the same year Oliver Tirry's name appears again. In 1355, Henry Whyte granted property to Peter Fitz Thomas (presumably Tyrry) in the parish of Killaspugmullane. | |||||

Maurice Ronayne is his son and next heir, and was aged 40 years, and was married at the time of his father’s death.” | All the above lands were held from Queen Elizabeth in capite and by military service, except Doughcloyne (which was held as of the manor of Beavor in County Cork), and the house property in Cork, which was held in free burgage. The above Inquisition relates only to land within the County of the City of Cork. The Inquisition relating to lands in the County of Cork does not appear to have been preserved. the lands are identified from the Inq. p.m. of his son Maurice in 1626, in which the above aliases are set out. | ||||
