Great O'Neill

Originally published in 1942, this is the story of Hugh O'Neill. Born in 1550, Hugh O'Neill lived in England from the age of nine as a protege of Queen Elizabeth I. He returned to Ireland as Baron Dungannon and was proclaimed Earl of tyrone in 1585, but when he went through the ancient ritual of becoming The O'Neill, the chief of Tir Eoghain, in 1595, he had bthrown down the gauntlet to Tudor power.
