‘It was in the Palace of the King of Spain himself in the town of Simancas he died. His body was then taken to Valladolid, to the Kings court, in a four-wheeled hearse, with great numbers of state officials, of the Council , and of the royal guard all round it, with blazing torches and bright flambeaux of beautiful wax-lights blazing all round on each side of it. He was buried after that in the chapel of the monastery of St. Francis with great honour and respect and in the most solemn manner any Gael ever before had been interred. Masses and many hymns, chants and sweet canticles were offered for the welfare of his soul and his requiem was celebrated as was fitting.’ -Description of Red Hugh Ó Donnells royal funeral procession and interment as quoted in the chronicles inscribed in the Annals of The Four Masters. ☘️ 🇪🇸 ☘️ 🇮🇪 ☘️
