Very interesting. My family has some stake in this tragedy.

Should have mentioned what caused this in the first place. Desmond and or Ormond had been in power since the 1300s they continually moved borders, until a after a political marriage was over they broke out into war. Desmond called himself everything but high king in name. The natives knew it busmt surly planned to kill him in time. They power plays caused a real destruction to Irish culture. If the natives had untied correctly we could have ran the lot out

Very informative

The 13 brave Apprentice boys closed the gates of Londonderry.

My great grandfather was a Desmond son off mac

Very interesting

Nice vid

Good video

interesting as an O'Neill.

Turlough Luineach was described as “Chief of Kings, the King of Ulster…” by the Irish poet John Buidhe O’Daly in 1584. He is described during his lifetime (by his cousin Hugh O’Neill to Queen Elizabeth I) as an “enemy of the Crown” and by Queen Elizabeth’s Lord Deputy of Ireland as“treacherous” and “a traitor”. Turlough was brother-in-law to his powerful Scottish ally, the Earl of Argyll, and was a cousin and father-in-law to his arch-enemy, “Red Hugh” O’Donnell, The O’Donnell of Donegal. For over a quarter of a century, he reigned from his castle near Strabane (in the western portion of the Muintir Lúinigh), and frustrated both the efforts of the English to tame and colonize Ulster and the ambition of his cousin Hugh O’Neill to become the ruler of Ireland. During Turlough’s long reign, Ulster remained a relatively peaceful bastion of Gaelic power and customs.When Turlough Luineach married the widowed Lady Agnes Campbell MacDonnell, the sister of the powerful Earl of Argyll, in 1569, he gained not only a large dowry of redshank mercenaries provided by Argyll, but also became father-in-law to his cousin The O’Donnell of Tir Connell. When she married Turlough Luineach, Lady Agnes brought thousands of troops with her. Their marriage was celebrated with fourteen days of feasting, story-tellers, jugglers and jesters.During the twenty-six years of his reign as The O’Neill Mor, Turlough was reviled by the English as being a treacherous villain and the greatest threat to English authority in Ireland. Despite their repeated political and military efforts to remove him from power, the English were faced with a military stalemate, and finally settled for a treaty in 1578, negotiated by Lady Agnes, which confirmed Turlough’s vast land holdings in Ulster, granted him the British titles of Earl of Clanconnell and Baron of Clogher, for life, and allowed him to retain his personal army of Scottish mercenaries. In spite of this treaty, Turlough continued to intrigue against the English through covert alliances with Spain and Scotland. Turlough Luineach maintained virtual control of Ulster until 1593, when he was finally forced by failing health and military setbacks to cede power to his ambitious cousin, Hugh O’Neill, the Earl of Tyrone.Following the defeat of Hugh O’Neill and the united Irish forces at Kinsale, and the Flight of the Earls in 1607, the entire Kingdom of Tyrone (including the Muintir Lúinigh) was seized by King James I of England as his personal fiefdom. Over the next few years, the territory was parcelled out to English and Scots nobles and planters during the Plantation of Ulster. Some of the Ó Lúinigh managed to stay on in their beloved and idyllicMuintir Lúinigh after 1607, even though most of their lands had been seized, by becoming Protestants.

Please make more videos mate. Maybe about more ancient Gaelic kingdoms, Brian boru, kingdom of Munster etc. these are excellent I’ve just watched the whole series in a day

helped me a lot for my incoming history test, thanks a lot! btw you're at 99 likes 💀

My ancestors could of been in this because the McAuliffe`s come from the McCarthy`s. Thanks mate

What does the Cramer’s from Cork have to do with The Kingdom of Desmond out of curiosity?

Fascinating account told with poise and clarity. More of this please!!

Lion of Ireland, by the American-Irish author Morgan Llywelyn, is a novel about the life of the Irish hero and High King Brian Boru.

Outstanding work on the series of Irish history. It's been 2 years since your last video and I hope that you do find the time to do more.

(i) the "modern opinion" of historians is just that, opinion, with a great deal of their own agenda attached to it. It's not to say the earliest historians were always correct or honest but they were certainly closer to the events themselves and the ripples from the zeitgeist extant around the time of Brian Boru would still be reverberating and their takes shouldn't be completely discounted. Surely we can assume there was friction between the 2 very different cultures (Norse, Irish). And you yourself mentioned that Ireland at the time was quite tribal. (ii) It would be interesting if you did a part 3 that followed the descendants of Brian Boru into early modern history and, for example, the O'Brien family, descendants of Boru who became the Baron Inchiquin lineage along with any other such prominent families.

How do people find they are related to historical fiqures using dna ? My family has been there in the one village for 100 years all of the info was in the local town church as a village most times dont have a church it seems you can found out where your ancestors are from but going 500+ years to a specific person seems to be very hard to do ? But i dont study it up like most im only a descendent thru my parents plus when ever there we didnt chat about ancient relatives

Excellent

I wonder , would you know , when , you believe , the gaelic Irish , had the consciousness of being the rightful heirs of the island of Ireland ? Did they see themselves as gaelic first , and the ' Irish ' identification follow much later ...? Any answers appreciated ..I have tried to have an answer from UCC , but no response

Dam one moment I'm playing the Assassin's Creed Rouge video game (Set in 1750's) I hear them mention Lawrence Washington so I go to research the actual person find some stuff out about them then read a quick link to a english civil war which as a Canadian I never knew happened now I'm watching the first out of probably a couple videos on the civil war so I can annoy my friends with UK history

Really good video that helped me to understand the actual conflict itself. I've subbed!

Another great video

Gaelic Ireland is a threat to no one , it has a right to exist, people could converse in Irish and English, unionists fears are based on imperialism and not the natural lay of the land

Where's the loyalty or pride of being an Irish man? Why we're Ireland best knights all trying to look favourable to English eyes? Arse-licking the invaders? WTF?

Great video. Enjoyed the stories of Brian Boru. Both videos were great. Thank you

would the gaelic in the north be Dalriadan Gaelic ,thus the Gaelic in Scotland or although both of the same root ,evolved differently from 16th century?

I liked that ✌🏻☘️

And the portrait at the end actually is Tyrone, although his beard isn't colored accurately. Conn was his grandfather, sort of a Strawberry Blonde/ light redhead and matching beard.

I think that opening Portrait of Tyrone looks very little like him, even if his hair were long. It doesn't even look much like an O'Neill...but I have seen it shown as being him other places It can't be accurate at any age. Tyrone had auburn hair and a Red Beard contrasting, just like my Dad.

Great stuff man! Thanks.

Just realised, on finishing reading Robert Harris' Act of Oblivion, the extent of my ignorance of this period of the history of the British Isles, the consequences of which still affect our daily politics. Thanks for getting me on the road to some enlightenment.

Nothing but statements of facts. The way history should be taught. Nice video

"... a flagrant display of cheap cliffhanger tactics." Ok, that got me. Subscribed.

Thanks mate. I'm looking into my history. Because of these wars I have Catholics on one side and protestants on the other.

There are two major lines of Yorks. Plantagenet, the house ruling Britain before the War of the Roses, was Fensling; they couldn't break their finger motions outside of clenched sequences, they ran slave labor. The other line of the Yorks, Hugh's, could pair, match, or break rhythm in their hands, abolitionists. Both considered themselves the Tyrone.

Thanks for sharing,grew up in Maynooth and used to play in that castle,

This Period of Irish History was the very start of today's Problems in Ireland. I wonder if the British Monarchy had of foreseen the Trouble they would cause for future generations of People's , would they have proceeded with their Selfish Actions? I hope there is a Hell.

Brian Boru is the most overrated figure in Irish history essentially because was the first from Munster after 700 years of Ui Neill unitterupted rule. His short reign was rejected/disputed by the Northern Ui Neill until his death, however his bribing of Armagh and weak state of the Southern Ui Neill allowed him to claim the title he yearned temporarily. A deeper look at the role of the Christian Church is documenting Irish History and in particular the fact Brian Boru bribed the Christian center of power in Armagh should be noted. It might explain why a man who's reign was so short lived received such historical prominence.

Thanks mate

Thanks for your great videos. There are so many videos on British history and so few on Irish history. I enjoyed your ones on Brian Boru as well. Just a note: the word "marches" is Frankish and comes to English from Old French. It means frontier, border or boundary. Variations exist in Old Saxon and Old German as well. Thanks for your great work.

Make more videos!

Great video.

Really clear and detailed, an aspect of our history that is largely unknown,
