TURLOUGH LUINEACH

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 109 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TURLOUGH LUINEACH O'NEILL (C. 1530-1595),
earl
  of Clanconnell, was inaugurated
chief
  of
Tyrone
  on Shane's death. Making professions of loyalty to the queen of England, he sought to strengthen his position by alliance with the O'Donnells, MacDonnells and MacQuillans. But his conduct giving rise to suspicions, an expedition under the
earl
  of
Essex
  was sent against him, which met with such doubtful success that in 1575 a treaty was arranged by which O'Neill received extensive grants of lands and permission to employ three hundred Scottish mercenaries. In 1578 he was created baron of Clogher and earl of Clanconnell for
life
 ; but on the outbreak of rebellion in Munster his attitude again became menacing, and for the next few years he continued to intrigue against the
English
  authorities. The latter, as a counterpoise to Turlough, supported his
cousin
  Hugh, brother of
Brian
 , whom Turlough had murdered. After several years of rivalry and much fighting between the two relatives, Turlough resigned the headship of the clan in favour of Hugh, who was inaugurated O'Neill in 1593. Turlough died in 1595.
