Placed in AD 1171 by a source

Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Diarmait Mac Murchadha died in Ferna

The Annals of Ulster report that Diarmait Mac Murchadha, king of Leinster, died in Ferna.

Limits: MacCarthy's English translation, vol. II, p. 167; the supplied OCR reads 'Mae'. The entry's accusations and claims about absent final rites are not adopted as established facts. The note at lines 11024–11027 and 11069–11071 cites the List in L.L. as instead reporting death after Unction and penance. Ferna is explicitly the death location in the entry.
