Annals of Ulster, s.a. U964 (alias 963): Kildare plundered, clergy ransomed by Niall ua Eruilb

Title	Annals of Ulster, s.a. U964 (alias 963): Kildare plundered, clergy ransomed by Niall ua Eruilb
Abbreviation	Annals of Ulster, U964
Author	Compiled traditionally at Belle Isle, Lough Erne; principal scribe Cathal Óg Mac Maghnusa (d. 1498), drawing on earlier annals
Publication	CELT (Corpus of Electronic Texts, University College Cork)
Note on source	Real, closely matching counterpart to the "Neill O'Hurly" anecdote in CHAS 1905 p. 112. The Ulster entry records Kildare plundered by "the foreigners" (Vikings), with clergy ransomed using "his own silver" by a Niall ua Eruilb — a wealthy patron paying to free captured clergy, not a captive ransoming himself as CHAS 1905 has it. "Ua Eruilb" is phonetically close to "O'Hurly" but is a separately documented lineage; see source #8. Not yet independently checked against the Annals of the Four Masters' own entry for the same year, only against Ulster.
