Conn Bacach O'Neill
Conn Bacach O'Neill was king of Tír Eoghain from 1519 and the first Earl of Tyrone. Under Henry VIII's policy of surrender and regrant he submitted in 1542, gave up the title of The O'Neill and received an English earldom. A dispute over the succession between his named heir Matthew and his son Shane O'Neill drove him from power, and he died in the Pale in 1559.
