HUGH O'See also:NEILL (d. c. 166o), son of See also:Owen See also:Roe's See also:brother See also:Art Oge, and therefore known as Hugh Mac Art, had served with some distinction in See also:Spain before he accompanied his See also:uncle, Owen Roe, to See also:Ireland in 1642. In 1646 he was made a See also:major-See also:general of the forces commanded by Owen Roe; and after the See also:death of the latter he successfully defended See also:Clonmel in 165o against See also:Cromwell, on whom he inflicted the latter's most severe defeat in Ireland. In the following See also:year he so stubbornly resisted See also:Ireton's attack on See also:Limerick that he was excepted from the benefit of the See also:capitulation, and, after being condemned to death and reprieved, was sent as a prisoner to the See also:Tower of See also:London. Released in 1652 on the See also:representation of the See also:Spanish See also:ambassador that O'Neill was a Spanish subject, he repaired to Spain, whence he wrote to See also:Charles II. in 166o claiming the earldom of See also:Tyrone. He probably died in Spain, but the date of his death is unknown.

James II. in Ireland, and died of wounds received at the See also:battle of the See also:Boyne. Through an See also:elder See also:line from Neill Mor was descended See also:Brian Mac Phelim O'Neill, who was treacherously seized in 1573 by the See also:earl of See also:Essex, whom he was hospitably entertaining, and executed together with his wife and brother, some two See also:hundred of his See also:clan being at the same time massacred by the orders of Essex. (See ESSEX, See also:WALTER DEVEREUX, 1st earl of.) Sir Brian Mac Phelim's son, See also:Shane Mac Brian O'Neill, was the last lord of Clanaboy, and from him the See also:family See also:castle of Edenduffcarrick, on the See also:shore of Lough See also:Neagh in Co. See also:Antrim, was named Shane's Castle. He joined the See also:rebellion of his kinsman Hugh, earl of Tyrone, but submitted in 1586.
In the 18th See also:century the commanding importance of the O'Neills in Irish See also:history had come to an end. But See also:John O'Neill (174o—1798), who represented Randalstown in the Irish See also:parliament 1761—1783, and the See also:county of Antrim from the latter year till his death, took an active See also:part in debate on the popular See also:side, being a strong supporter of See also:Catholic emancipation. He was one of the delegates in 1789 from the Irish parliament to See also:George, See also:prince of See also:Wales, requesting him to assume the regency as a See also:matter of right. In 1793 he was raised to the See also:peerage of Ireland as See also:Baron O'Neill of Shane's Castle, and in 1795 was created a See also:viscount. In defending the See also:town of Antrim against the rebels in 1798 O'Neill received wounds from which he died on the 18th of See also:June, being succeeded as Viscount O'Neill by his son Charles Henry St John (1779—1841), who in 1800 was created Earl O'Neill. Dying unmarried, when the earldom therefore became See also:extinct, Charles was succeeded as Viscount O'Neill by his brother John See also:Bruce See also:Richard (1780-1855), a general in the See also:British See also:army; on whose death without issue in 1855 the male line in the See also:United
