history record of O'Malley's presence at the English Court

There came to me also a most famous feminine sea captain called Grany Imallye and offered her services unto me, wheresoever I would command her, with three galleys and two hundred fighting men, either in Scotland or in Ireland. She brought with her her husband for she was as well by land as by sea well more than Mrs Mate with him. ...This was a notorious rebel in all the coasts of Ireland. Sir Henry Sidney, Lord Deputy of Ireland, 1576
