Murtagh Roe O'Neill
Murtagh Roe O'Neill (Irish language, Irish: ''Muircheartach Ruadh Ó Néill'') was a List of rulers of Clandeboye, lord of Clandeboye in medieval Ireland. He succeeded his father Brian Ballagh O'Neill who died in 1425 to the lordship of Clandeboye. Before O'Neill could take control he and his second-in-command, his younger brother Hugh Boy II O'Neill, Hugh Boy, had to remove their uncle Henry Caoch O'Neill who strongly challenged their claim. By the early 1440s despite initially working together, O'Neill and Hugh Boy would engage in a short but fierce conflict which resulted in O'Neill ceding the lordship to his brother. Hugh Boy however would die on 2 May 1444 from wounds received in a raid on the Magennis' of Iveagh. O'Neill would regain the lordship and hold it until 1468 when Hugh Boy's son Conn O'Neill (d. 1482), Conn seized it from him after engaging in battle. Despite this in 1475 he was still chief of the Clandeboye O'Neill clan. O'Neill died sometime after 1475. O'Neill's ...

Iveagh
Iveagh ( ; ) is the name of several historical territorial divisions in what is now County Down, Northern Ireland. Originally it was a Gaelic Irish territory, ruled by the ''Uí Echach Cobo'' and part of the overkingdom of Ulaid. From the 12th century the Magennises (''Mac Aonghusa'') were chiefs of Iveagh. They were based at Rathfriland and were inaugurated at Knock Iveagh. Following the Nine Years' War, the rulers of Iveagh submitted to the English Crown and the territory was divided between them. Iveagh became a barony, which was later split into Iveagh Lower and Iveagh Upper. The territory of Iveagh was also the basis of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dromore. Uí Echach Cobo Iveagh derives its name from the Cruithin tribe ''Uí Echach'' (modern Irish: ''Uíbh Eachach''), or "descendants of Echu", and referred to an ancient Irish túath (district). It is also known more fully as ''Uí Echach Cobo'' (modern Irish: ''Uíbh Eachach Cobha'', meaning Echu of Cobo), and equivale ...

Clandeboye
Clandeboye or Clannaboy ( Irish ''Clann Aodha Buí'', "family of Hugh the Blond") was a kingdom of Gaelic Ireland, comprising what is now south County Antrim, north County Down, and the barony of Loughinsholin. The entity was relatively late in appearance and is associated partly with the Gaelic resurgence of the High Middle Ages. The O'Neill Clandeboy ('' Ó Néill Clann Aodha Buidhe'') who reigned in the territory descended from Hugh Boy O'Neill, a king of Tyrone. His descendants took advantage of the demise of the Earldom of Ulster during the latter 14th century and seized vast portions of territory. Clandeboye's main seats of power were Shane's Castle and Castle Reagh. The kingdom came to an end at the dawn of the 17th century after Conn O'Neill, the last head of the Clandeboye O'Neills of Upper Clandeboye, signed away two-thirds of his land to his close associates Hugh Montgomery and James Hamilton who proceeded to privately settle their land with settlers from Great Br ...

O'Neill Dynasty
The O'Neill dynasty ( Irish: ''Ó Néill'') are a lineage of Irish Gaelic origin that held prominent positions and titles in Ireland and elsewhere. As kings of Cenél nEógain, they were historically one of the most prominent family of the Northern Uí Néill, along with the O'Donnell dynasty. Some O'Neills state that their ancestors were kings of Ailech during the Early Middle Ages, as descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages. Two of their progenitors were High Kings of Ireland: Niall Glúndub (from whom they take their name) and Domnall ua Néill. From 1232 until 1616, the O'Neills were sovereign kings of Tír Eógain, holding territories in the north of Ireland in the province of Ulster, particularly around modern County Tyrone, County Londonderry and County Antrim, in what is now Northern Ireland. After their territory was merged with the Kingdom of Ireland and the land was caught up in the Plantation of Ulster, they were involved in a number of events, such as Tyr ...

15th-century Irish Landowners
The 15th century was the century which spans the Julian calendar dates from 1 January 1401 (represented by the Roman numerals MCDI) to 31 December 1500 (MD). In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period. Many technological, social and cultural developments of the 15th century can in retrospect be seen as heralding the "European miracle" of the following centuries. The architectural perspective, and the modern fields which are known today as banking and accounting were founded in Italy. The Hundred Years' War ended with a decisive French victory over the English in the Battle of Castillon. Financial troubles in England following the conflict resulted in the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic wars for the throne of England. The conflicts ended with the defeat of Richard III by Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth Field, establishing the Tudor dynasty in the later part of the century. Constantinop ...
