1580 DANIEL HINRECHAN, PHILIP O’SEE,1 AND MAURICE O’SCANLAN, O.S.F.
(Ibid., p.440)
THESE religious were natives of Kerry, and born of respectable Catholic parents.
They were priests, and for more than thirty years had preached the word of God throughout different parts of Ireland, not without great profit to souls.
When the rest of the brethren fled from the heretics who were coming to seize them, these could not accompany them, owing to old age and loss of sight; the youngest of them was over seventy years of age. They took refuge in church of their monastery in the town of Lislachtin, near the village of Ballylongford.2
They were seized and dragged before the high altar, and there beaten with sticks, and run through with the sword.
The date of their death is 6th April, 1580.
Rothe gives it as 1582.
