Brian O'Neill (1574)

In 1568, Brian McPhelim O'Neill would be knighted for his service to the Crown as part of William Piers' campaign against Shane O'Neill of Tyrone.

Brian MacArt O'Neill

He was the son and heir of Art MacBaron O'Neill of Oneilland and a grandson of Matthew O'Neill, 1st Baron Dungannon. He may have taken part in Tyrone's Rebellion, a conflict in which several of his brothers were killed. Along with the rest of his family he was pardoned as part of the Treaty of Mellifont in 1603. In 1607 he was arrested on a charge of murder. Because it was unlikely that a jury in County Armagh, where many people remained frightened of the O'Neills, would convict him it was decided to try him in Dublin instead. Despite attempts by his powerful and influential uncle Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone to have him pardoned the sentence was still set to be carried out. Tyrone reportedly offered a bribe of £500 to secure his release, which was refused. The steadfast refusal of the Viceroy of Ireland Sir Arthur Chichester to overturn the death sentence, convinced Tyrone that his ...

Brian J
Brian (sometimes spelled Bryan in English) is a male given name of Irish and Breton origin, as well as a surname of Occitan origin. It is common in the English-speaking world. It is possible that the name is derived from an Old Celtic word meaning "high" or "noble". For example, the element ''bre'' means "hill"; which could be transferred to mean "eminence" or "exalted one". The name is quite popular in Ireland, on account of Brian Boru, a 10th-century High King of Ireland. The name was also quite popular in East Anglia during the Middle Ages. This is because the name was introduced to England by Bretons following the Norman Conquest. Bretons also settled in Ireland along with the Normans in the 12th century, and 'their' name was mingled with the 'Irish' version. Also, in the north-west of England, the 'Irish' name was introduced by Scandinavian settlers from Ireland. Within the Gaelic speaking areas of Scotland, the name was at first only used by professional families of Irish or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
