NIALL GARVE O'DONNELL (1569-1626), who was incensed at the See also:

elevation of his See also:cousin See also:Hugh See also:Roe to the chieftainship in 1592, was further alienated when the latter. deprived him of his See also:castle of See also:Lifford, and a See also:bitter See also:feud between the two O'Donnells was the result. Niall Garve made terms with the See also:English See also:government, to whom he rendered valuable service both against the O'Neills and against his cousin. But in 16or he quarrelled with the See also:lord See also:deputy, who, though willing to establish Niall Garve in the lordship of Tyrconnel, would not permit him to enforce his supremacy over Cahir O'Dogherty in Inishowen. After the departure of Hugh Roe from See also:Ireland in 1602, Niall Garve and Hugh Roe's See also:brother Rory went to See also:London, where the privy See also:council endeavoured to arrange the See also:family See also:quarrel, but failed to satisfy Niall. Charged with complicity in Cahir O'Dogherty's See also:rebellion in 16o8, Niall Garve was sent to the See also:Tower of London, where he remained till his See also:death in 1626. He married his cousin Nuala, See also:sister of Hugh Roe and Rory O'Donnell. When Rory fled with the See also:earl of See also:Tyrone to See also:Rome in 1607, Nuala, who had deserted her See also:husband when he joined the English against her brother, accompanied him, taking with her her daughter Grania. She was the subject of an Irish poem, of which an. English version was written by See also:James See also:Mangan from a See also:prose See also:translation by See also:Eugene O'See also:Curry.
