FN 206 Walker； Mackenzie； Avaux， April 26/May 6 1689. There is a tradition among the Protestants of Ulster that Maumont fell by the sword of Murray： but on this point the report made by the French ambassador to his master is decisive. The truth is that there are almost as many mythical stories about the siege of Londonderry as about the siege of Troy. The legend about Murray and Maumont dates from 1689.
In the Royal Voyage which was acted in that year， the combat between the heroes is described in these sonorous lines "They met； and Monsieur at the first encounter Fell dead， blaspheming， on the dusty plain， And dying， bit the ground."FN 207 "Si c'est celuy qui est sorti de France le dernier， qui s'appelloit Richard， il n'a jamais veu de siege， ayant toujours servi en Rousillon."--Louvois to Avaux， June 8/18. 1689.

Louvois wrote to Avaux in great indignation. "La mauvaise conduite que l'on a tenue devant Londondery a couste la vie a M. de Maumont et a M. de Pusignan. Il ne faut pas que sa Majesté Britannique croye qu'en faisant tuer des officiers generaux comme des soldats， on puisse ne l'en point laisser manquer. Ces sortes de gens sont rates en tout pays， et doivent estre menagez."FN 209 Walker； Mackenzie； Avaux， June 16/26 1689.
FN 210 As to the discipline of Galmoy's Horse， see the letter of Avaux to Louvois， dated Sept. 10/30. Horrible stories of the cruelty， both of the colonel and of his men， are told in the Short View， by a Clergyman， printed in 1689， and in several other pamphlets of that year. For the distribution of the Irish forces， see the contemporary maps of the siege. A catalogue of the regiments， meant， I suppose to rival the catalogue in the Second Book of the Iliad， will be found in the Londeriad.

FN 215 "Sarsfield，" Avaux wrote to Louvois， Oct. 11/21. 1689， "n'est pas un homme de la naissance de mylord Galloway" (Galmoy， Isuppose)
"ny de Makarty： mais c'est un gentilhomme distingue par son merite， qui a plus de credit dans ce royaume qu'aucun homme que je connoisse.
Il a de la valeur， mais surtout de l'honneur et de la probite a toute epreuve . . . homme qui sera toujours a la tete de ses troupes， et qui en aura grand soin." Leslie， in his Answer to King， says that the Irish Protestants did justice to Sarsfield's integrity and honour.
Indeed justice is done to Sarsfield even in such scurrilous pieces as the Royal Flight.
