The Battle of Tochar Cruacháin Brí Eile or Cruachán Brí Eile took place in 1385 near what is now the village of Croghan in County Offaly, Ireland.[1] The battle pitted the Gaelic forces of Uí Failghe, led by Murchadh Ó Conchobhair, against the Normans. The army of Uí Failghe was victorious. "Nugent of Meath, Chambers and his son, and a countless host of the chiefs and plebeians of the English were slain", according to the Annals of the Four Masters.[2]
