All Men of Good Will to the King, Both Irish and English, in Munster and Leinster Are Summoned to Buttevant in Leix

September 26, 1289

All men loyal to the King—both Irish and English—from Munster and Leinster are summoned to Buttevant, in what is now County Laois (formerly Queen’s County).

A ten-day military expedition begins on this date, aimed at subduing regional Irish resistance. The campaign results in a forced but uneasy peace with local Irish lords.
