Murtagh Roe O'Neill
Murtagh Roe O'Neill (Irish: ''Muircheartach Ruadh Ó Néill'') was a lord of Clandeboye in medieval Ireland. He succeeded his father Brian Ballagh O'Neill who died in 1425 to the lordship of Clandeboye.

Hugh Boy however would die on 2 May 1444 from wounds received in a raid on the Magennis' of Iveagh Iveagh ( ; ) is the name of several historical territorial divisions in what is now County Down, Northern Ireland.

Murtagh Dulenagh O'Neill
Murtagh Dulenagh O'Neill (Irish: ''Muirchertach Duileanach Ó Néill'') was a lord of Clandeboye in medieval Ireland. A son of Niall Mór O'Neill, he succeeded his brother, Niall Oge O'Neill, to the lordship of Clandeboye after his death in 1537. His hold over Clandeboye was gradually weakened by his nephews, the sons of Niall Oge and Phelim Bacagh O'Neill. By 1533 he was lord of Clandeboye in name only as his rivals had divided the majority of Clandeboye between them founding the lordships of Lower and Upper Clandeboye. Despite having eight "tall sons", they could only muster twenty-four horsemen between them. As such he was the last of the family to be lord over the entirety of Clandeboye. O'Neill died after 1556, however as a sign of how far his stock had fallen his death was not recorded. His epithet of ''Duileanach'' suggests that he may have been fostered by the O'Doolan's found in what is now the barony of Castlereagh, which was within the Clandeboy domain. Issue and pr ...
