Art died from exposure in Glenmalure, and Perrot had allowed Hugh O'Neill and Turlough Luineach to attack the territory of James O'Donnelly, the main supporter of the MacShane's.
Feagh also helped in the escape of Hugh Roe O'Donnell from Dublin Castle in 1591 and Hugh Roe stayed with O'Byrne at Ballinacor, Glenmalure.
