10/14/1593: death of Arthur, 14th Lord Grey de Wilton (Artegal)(born 1536)
His father, Bill, was a winner in the Battle of Child #172. Art ran Ireland for a while and was defeated in the Battle of
Glenmalure in Wicklow. This really hurt his feelings so he went on to commit enough attrocities to make up for it.

          Lift, MacCahir Og, your face
          Brooding o'er the old disgrace
          That Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place
          And drove you to the fen.
          Grey said victory was sure
          Soon the tyrant he'd secure
          Until he met at Glenmalure
          Fiach McHugh O'Byrne
  
                  "Follow me up to Carlow" per Dick Gaughan

ALSO:
President Bill Clinton awarded Pete Seeger the National Medal of Arts 10/14/1994. This was a fine thing but a tad ironic.
