charges were brought against Desmond, for having formed alliances
and fosterage with the Irish, and not having acted with sufficient rigour against the Irish enemies, of exacting the unlawful military tax called Coyne and Livery, &c. , and in a parliament held at Drogheda by the deputy Tiptoft, in 1467, Desmond was accused
