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.
