To Duke of Ulster,
It is not i who called the Bishop part of your domain.So dont threaten me. In matter of fact i asked for the guidance of the Bishop in this affair and also even proposed that Mide would be given to the Church, but the Bishop did not even answer my letters. My Chancellor has also tried to contact for example Leinster in private in vain. No decent reply of any kind have been give n by them. Same applies with Ulster.
In this light i cant but laugh at your latest proposal.You together with Leinster have made an agreement over the fate of Mide in private and now you want us and Munster to protect your agreement, while we have been left out even from negotiations. While one of you forces marriage to the poor daughter of Mide.I am sorry but do you take us a fool?
In this scheming atmosphere provided by Ulster and Leinster. I Duke of Connaught will offer my hand in marriage to daughter of Mide and promise to protect her lands from anyone trying to take them with force. I am man of peace, but such exploitation Ulster and Leinster are planning cant be tolerated. Thus i am going to protect my dead neighbours integrity by marrying his daughter. Let the Mide daughter decide whom to marry. Is that enough for you gentlemen?
