In 1384 Connaught was divided between the O’Connor
Dons and the O’Connor Roes, the latter receiving the
Eastern part of the province on the West bank of the
Shannon. From the 11th century until 1461 the
O’Maolconrys had the duty of inaugurating the Kings of
Connaught. Only they and the hereditary Guardian of the
sacred hill of Carn Fraoich were allowed on the Hill
during the ceremony. His main duty was to place the
“royal rod or wand in O’Connor’s hand”. But in
1461“McDermot arrogated to himself the right of
inaugurating both the O’Connors”. He is said to have “put
pressure on O’Maolconry, who for a consideration, sold
the hereditary office…”10 This would explain the princely
role of the McDermott Roes. Whatever the rights of their
claim to princely status, O’Carolan evidently concurred
with the position of his good patrons.
O'Sullivan11, however, notes there were two branches of the County Roscommon family; the MacDermotts of
Alderford, usually known by the title MacDermott Roe, and the MacDermotts of Coolavin. The head of the latter
branch was known in O'Carolan's time as the Prince of Coolavin, and O'Sullivan believes it probable that the Princess
Royal was his eldest daughter and not one of the MacDermott Roes.
Frank Kidson asserted that Princess Royal was "English, early 18th century", and written for Princess Anne of
Hanover), daughter of King George II of England, who bestowed the title on her in 1727. Kidson had copied Wright's
new Princess Royal 12, with a copy of the Arethusa on the reverse of the sheet; see illustration 4 for the original. 13 If this
was "new", the original seems to be in Walsh's Dancing Master, first published 1723,which gives another, quite
different, tune under the title Princess Royal; see illustration 3. 14
William Shield (1748–1829 used the tune for a song, the Arethusa about a naval battle, in his opera the Lock and Key
(1796). The hero, a naval officer, apparently rather inappropriately sings it outside his love's window. In spite of this,
the song was an immediate success. Captain W.B. Whall noted it at sea between 1861 and 1872. 15
Curiously, some morris version are major, while others are minor, as in the original.

Kind Christians all on you I call if to pity you feel inclined.Your care to bestow on a fellow full of woe for he’s almost out of his mind.For wives I’ve wed who are all gone dead,My love it was labour in vain.I have married and I’ve buried ’till I’m almost worriedAnd sick with wives on the brain.
Chorus:It’s the fox and the hare, the badger and the bearAnd the birds in the greenwood tree,And the pretty little rabbits all engaging in their habits,They’ve all got a mate but me.
