What is recorded here

Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne and James Eustace, 3rd Viscount Baltinglass, lured Arthur Grey, 14th Baron Grey de Wilton, into a narrow mountain throat where numbers stopped mattering. On 25 August 1580, united Irish clans struck from the rocks of Glenmalure, shattering the English line before Grey could deploy his guns. The valley became a graveyard of proud men, proving that a narrow place and a willing hand can break the strongest army in Ireland.
