Irish Nobility
The Irish nobility could be described as including persons who do, or historically did, fall into one or more of the following categories of nobility: * Gaelic nobility of Ireland: descendants in the male line of at least one historical grade of king ( Rí). * Hiberno-Norman or Old English (Ireland) nobility: descendants of the colonisers who came to Ireland from Wales, Normandy and England after the Norman invasions of England and Ireland in 1066 and 1169–71, respectively. * Peerage of Ireland, whose titles were created by the English and later British monarchs of Ireland in their capacity as Lord or King of Ireland. These groups are not mutually exclusive. There is some overlap between the first two groups (prior to the Treaty of Limerick), and a lesser degree of overlap between the last two groups (prior to independence from the United Kingdom). Such overlaps may be personal (e.g. a Gaelic noble who was " regranted" his titles by King Henry VIII of England), or they may ...

O'Neill is an Irish surname derived from the Gaelic ''Ó Néill'' meaning "descendant of Niall".

''O'Neill'' is one of the most common Irish surnames.

It is due to the Anglicization of the original Irish that the several spelling variations have emerged, during the tra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Irish Royal Families

In the period when the institution of high kingship existed, Ireland did not conduct much formal international diplomac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
