Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ulster Journal of Archaeology, Vol. 9 Note from "Pacata Hibernia," by Standish O´Grady. Hugh O´Neill, Earl of Tyrone, the greatest man of action of the Irish race who has appeared in modern times, was the son of Ferdoragh, Baron of Dungannon, son of Lame Con, the O´Neill, and first Earl of Tyrone. Lame Con submitted himself, people, and lands to Henry VIII., who re-granted to him all Tir-Owen, and the rents and services of divers Ulster lords, of old time subject to the O´Neill. The grant was to himself for life, remainder in tail male to his eldest son, Ferdoragh, Baron of Dungannon, by English writers called Matthew. Ferdoragh means "the dark man" - Fear, man; doreadli, dark. Ferdoragh was illegitimate, and known to be illegitimate; but illegitimacy counted for little in Ireland, and could have counted for little generally in an age in which Henry VIII. endeavoured to secure the throne of England for his illegitimate son, the Earl of Southampton. Froude says that this was his only illegitimate child. But Froude, as usual, is wrong. Though personally I incline to think that, as kings go, bluff King Hal was not an unusually bad specimen of the species. Lame Con´s appearance at Henry´s Court curiously coincided with the first step upwards of the famous Cecil. While Lame Con was conversing with his august overlord, not yet his King, for Henry was at the time onl Dominus Hibernue, his entourage of gallowglasses, harpers, poets, shanachies, priests, etc., waited in the anteroom. With two of the priests young Cecil fell into argument touching the King´s claim to be head of the Church, and in the ensuing controversy acquitted himself so well on the King´s side that next day he received his first promotion.
