The Battle of Tragh-Bhaile[a] was fought in Ireland in 1399 between the forces of Henry O'Neill's sons and the Anglo-Irish.[2] The Anglo-Irish were victorious.
The O'Neill forces, led by Donal MacHenry of Tyrone, attacked the King's troops at Tragh-Bhaile (near modern-day Dundalk in County Louth), but were repulsed. Donal was captured and sent to England.[3][4]
