Hugh ‘The Great’ O’ Neill, Earl of Tyrone, Prince of Ulster. (Irish: Aodh Mór Ó Neill b. 1550 d. 20 July 1616) 2016 saw the 400th anniversary of the death of Hugh O’Neill, Earl of Tyrone and Prince of Ulster. (pictured left) The Clan McGrath of Ulster are related to the O’Neill Clan by blood and fosterage, Archbishop Miler McGrath having been foster brother to Hugh’s uncle, Shane ‘The Proud’ O’Neill. Hugh was the second son of Feardorcha O’Neill, reputed legiti- mate son of Conn, 1st Earl of Tyrone. Hugh’s rise to the Chieftainship of the O’Neill Clan came via a murderous blood feud between Feardorcha and Shane. Following Feardorcha’s murder Hugh and his brother Brian were in a difficult posi- tion, but they came under the protection of the English ad- ministration in Dublin. Brian was granted the title Baron of Dungannon by the English but following his murder by the followers of Shane in 1562, the title passed to his younger brother Hugh. Following the subsequent murder of Shane in 1567, Turlough Luineach O’Neill who was Shane’s named successor or Táin- iste became Chief. However the English administration did not recognise him or his claim to the title of Earl of Tyrone.

Hugh was inaugurated Chief at Tullaghoge in the style of a Gaelic King and became the most powerful Lord in Ulster. O'Neill's career was marked by unceasing power politics: at one time he appeared to submit to English authority, and at another intrigued against the Dublin government in con- junction with lesser Irish lords. O’Neill seemed to have been unsure whether his position as head of the O'Neills was best secured by alliance with the English or by rebel- lion against the advance of their government into Ulster from 1585. In the early 1590s English government in Ulster took the form of a Provincial Presidency, to be headed by the colo- nist, Henry Bagenal (pictured right) who resided at Newry.

  • To Plant and Improve: Justifying the Consolidation of Tudor and Stuart Rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625
    To Plant and Improve: Justifying the Consolidation of Tudor and Stuart Rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625 Samantha Watson A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Languages Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences September 2014 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Watson First name: Samantha Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Humanities and Languages Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: To plant and improve: justifying the consolidation of Tudor and Stuart rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis aims to examine the ideologies employed in justifying English conquest and plantation of Ireland between 1509 and 1625. It adopts the methodology of a contextualist intellectual history, which situates the sources within the intellectual and material world, and in relation to the publically approved paradigms, available to the authors. The thesis encompasses a range of source material - correspondence, policy papers and published tracts - from major and minor figures in government and undertakers of colonisation schemes. The source material will be examined with respect to the major upheavals in intellectual culture in late medieval and early modern England and, in particular, the impact of major pan- European movements, the Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance. Focussing on the ethics associated with the spread of Renaissance humanism and Calvinist Protestantism, it explores socio-political ideas in England and examines the ways that these ideas were expressed in relation to Ireland.

    BiblioMara: An annotated indexed bibliography of cultural and maritime heritage studies of the coastal zone in Ireland BiblioMara: Leabharliosta d’ábhar scríofa a bhaineann le cúltúr agus oidhreacht mara na hÉireann (Stage I & II, January 2004) Max Kozachenko1, Helen Rea1, Valerie Cummins1, Clíona O’Carroll2, Pádraig Ó Duinnín3, Jo Good2, David Butler1, Darina Tully3, Éamonn Ó Tuama1, Marie-Annick Desplanques2 & Gearóid Ó Crualaoich 2 1 Coastal and Marine Resources Centre, ERI, UCC 2 Department of Béaloideas, UCC 3 Meitheal Mara, Cork University College Cork Department of Béaloideas Abstract BiblioMara: What is it? BiblioMara is an indexed, annotated bibliography of written material relating to Ireland’s coastal and maritime heritage; that is a list of books, articles, theses and reports with a short account of their content. The index provided at the end of the bibliography allows users to search the bibliography using keywords and authors’ names. The majority of the documents referenced were published after the year 1900. What are ‘written materials relating to Ireland’s coastal heritage’? The BiblioMara bibliography contains material that has been written down which relates to the lives of the people on the coast; today and in the past; their history and language; and the way that the sea has affected their way of life and their imagination. The bibliography attempts to list as many materials as possible that deal with the myriad interactions between people and their maritime surroundings. The island of Ireland and aspects of coastal life are covered, from lobster pot making to the uses of seaweed, from the fate of the Spanish Armada to the future of wave energy, from the sailing schooner fleets of Arklow to the County Down herring girls, from Galway hookers to the songs of Tory Islanders.

  • Divided Sovereignty, Identity and Politics in Ireland
    E-journal promoted by the Campus for Peace, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya http://journal-of-conflictology.uoc.edu ARTICLE The Fractured Island: Divided Sovereignty, Identity and Politics in Ireland Alan Bruce Submitted: July 2013 Accepted: September 2013 Published: November 2013 Abstract Since the final conclusion of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, the violent conflict and military operations convulsing the state of Northern Ireland since 1969 appeared over and peace restored. Despite this, profound mistrust and division remains. This paper examines the factors influencing historic conflict in Ireland with reference to the acceptable forms of governance in a deeply divided society with antagonistic and diametrically opposed concepts of citizenship, allegiance and sovereignty. The changes have been fundamental and profound: absence of military occupation models, entry into public life and political responsibility of former combatants, development of power-sharing governmental structures and progress of civil society. The fact remains that the Good Friday Agreement was seen by the majority community – the unionist population – as a guarantee to assert its intention and desire to remain an integral part of the United Kingdom (to remain British). In the same manner and in the same way, the Agreement was seen by the minority community – the nationalist population – as a guarantee to assert its intention to leave the United Kingdom and to re-unite with the rest of Ireland (to remain Irish). Ireland has never been a uniform or agreed socio-political entity. The nature of Irish society is been fragmented, divided and polyglot. The fractured states that emerged from the forced partition of Ireland in 1922 epitomized the crises and issues around sovereignty and identity.

INTRODUCTION She would later tell her story to reporters, identifYing herself only as "Sharon."! She had spent a Saturday night in her father's bar in Greysteel, Northern Ireland, which at the time probably did not seem in any way out of the ordinary.2 Perhaps Sharon noticed only that the Rising Sun was particularly "packed" that night.3 However, it was the night before Halloween, so the crowd of about sixty likely seemed appropriate for the occasion.4 Unfortunately, nothing could have prepared Sharon for this par­ ticular Saturday night.
