Neill O'Hurly ransomed from Danish captivity, AD 962

Title	Neill O'Hurly ransomed from Danish captivity, AD 962
Abbreviation	CHAS 1905, AD 962 anecdote
Author	Cited by the 1905 article to "The Annals of the Four Masters" and to Colgan's Trias Thaumaturga, p. 630
Publication	CHAS 1905 p. 112. The underlying works cited are the Annals of the Four Masters (compiled 1632–36) and John Colgan, Acta Triadis Thaumaturgae (Louvain, 1647)
Note on source	The article's exact wording: "The Annals of the Four Masters relate that, in 962, the Danes took several captives in plundering Kildare, and amongst them was Neill O'Hurly, who ransomed himself with his own money. This is also stated in Trias Thaumaturga, page 630." Neither citation has been independently confirmed. Owen Connellan's own 1846 Annals translation did not cover the Annals' early years, so his translation is unlikely to be the actual source of this specific entry, even though the article cites "the Annals of the Four Masters" generally. Colgan's page 630 has not been located in a confirmed table of contents; a Google Play Books scan of Trias Thaumaturga vol. 1 (Latin) may allow direct verification. Very likely a misidentification: see source #7 (Annals of Ulster, via CELT)
