"These annals contain the only extant medieval reference to that friary, which was burnt in 1277. A Richard de Exonia was then in charge of Roscommon Castle, and the names of his three wives and the birth of his son are recorded. The Irish names in the annals reflect familiarity with Connacht and the military activity of Áed O'Connor, king of Connacht, whose death is recorded in 1274."--Publisher's website.

First half of the book is commentary and history relating to the Annals in English. Second half of book is transcription of the Latin manuscript with English translation on facing pages.
