Henry O'Neill mentioned above, was the first of the O'Neills whom the attempts of the See also:English in the 16th See also:century to subjugate See also:Ireland brought to the front as leaders of the native Irish. Conn, who was related through his See also:mother with the earl of See also:Kildare (See also:Fitzgerald), became See also:chief of the Tyrone See also:branch of the O'Neills (Cinel Eoghain) about 1520. When Kildare became See also:viceroy in 1524, O'Neill consented to See also:act as his swordbearer in ceremonies of See also:state; but his See also:allegiance was not to be reckoned upon, and while ready enough to give verbal assurances of See also:loyalty, he could not be persuaded to give hostages as See also:security for his conduct; but Tyrone having been invaded in 1541 by See also:Sir See also:Anthony St Leger, the See also:lord See also:deputy, Conn delivered up his son as a See also:hostage, attended a See also:parliament held at See also:Trim, and, See also:crossing to See also:England, made his submission at See also:Greenwich to Henry VIII., who created him earl of Tyrone for See also:life, and made him a See also:present of See also:money and a valuable See also:gold See also:chain. He was also made a privy councillor in Ireland, and received a See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

grant of lands within the See also:Pale. This event created a deep impression in Ireland, where O'Neill's submission to the English See also:- KING

king, and his See also:acceptance of an English See also:title, were resented by his clansmen and dependents. The See also:rest of the earl's life was mainly occupied by endeavours to maintain his See also:influence, and by an undying See also:feud with his son See also:Shane (See also:John), arising out of his transaction with Henry VIII. For not only did the nomination of O'Neill's reputed son See also:Matthew as his See also:heir with the title of See also:baron of See also:Dungannon by the English king conflict with the Irish See also:custom of See also:tanistry (q.v.) which regulated the chieftainship of the Irish clans, but Matthew, if indeed he was O'Neill's son at all, was illegitimate; while Shane, Conn's eldest legitimate son, was not the See also:man to submit tamely to any invasion of his rights. The fierce See also:family feud only terminated when Matthew was murdered by agents of Shane in 1558; Conn dying about a See also:year later. Conn was twice married, Shane being the son of his first wife, a daughter of See also:Hugh Boy O'Neill of Clanaboy. An ille-
gitimate daughter of Conn married the celebrated Sorley Boy See also:MacDonnell (q.v.).
