One of the most famous "Caoineadh" is "Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire." Art Ó Laoghaire was an Irish Catholic who refused to sell his horse to an English nobleman. At the time, an English nobleman in Ireland could insist on spending no more than £5 on his chosed horse, no matter who the owner. Art Ó Laoghaire was killed over this refusal and his wife's lament has been recorded. There's little point in me writing it here, but I will try to post a link!
