CLOISTER, FRANCISCAN FRIARY, QUIN CLOISTER, QUIN FRIARY 94 QUIN was enough for Perrot to condemn him, but it seems he had. In or about this time the English had put a garrison in the monas- tery, and the friars no doubt had to leave. According to Wadding,
... 1 the place was attacked by Donnchadh Briain, who burned both the part occupied and the garrison in one conflagration. The Four Masters are very severe on Donnchadh, call him " the arc'h traitor and the leader (uachtaran) of the plunderers of Connacht, " and see only justice in his cruel death, which he seems to have endured with " as much resolution in suffering as before he had manifested cruelty in his bloody actions. " 2 Being sentenced by Perrot, the annalists thus describe the unfortunate man's execution, typical of the times in its unnecessary cruelty : ' His evil destiny awaited him, for he was hanged from a cart, and his bones were broken with the back of a large and heavy axe; and his body, mangled and half dead, was fixed, fastened with hard and tough hempen ropes, to the top of the belfry tower (Clogas) of Quin [church], under the talons of the birds and fowls of the air, that the sight of him in that state might serve as a warning and example to evil- doers.
