Captain Cuellar�������s Adventures In Connacht And Ulster, A. D. 1588 is a book written by Hugh Allingham in 1897. The book is a historical account of the adventures of Captain Francisco de Cuellar, a Spanish sailor who was shipwrecked off the coast of Ireland in 1588. The book chronicles his experiences as he tries to evade capture by the English and make his way back to Spain. Cuellar�������s journey takes him through the rugged landscape of Connacht and Ulster, where he encounters a variety of people, including Irish chieftains, English soldiers, and fellow Spanish sailors. The book provides a vivid and detailed description of life in Ireland during the late 16th century, including the political and social tensions between the English and Irish, as well as the harsh living conditions endured by the Irish people.Allingham�������s account is based on Cuellar�������s own written testimony, which was discovered in the archives of the Spanish Inquisition in the 19th century.
