The Annals of the Four Masters, sub anno 1196, state that "Mahon, the son of Conor Moinmoy, Roydamna of Connacht, was slain by O'More (Donnell) and the men of Leix, who attempted to prevent him from bearing off the spoil which he had taken from the English; but O'More was killed by Cathal Carrach, in revenge of him."
