Henry O'Neill (d. 1347)
Henry O'Neill (
medieval Ireland. He was the son of Brian O'Neill, and a grandson of Hugh Boy O'Neill. O'Neill succeeded his kinsman Donnell O'Neill
as king of Tyrone in 1325.
In 1338 O'Neill as part of a peace treaty was granted a war-ravaged region of south Antrim, from where would be founded the lordship of Clandeboye.[1]
In 1345 the
Justiciar of Ireland, Ralph de Ufford, deposed O'Neill as king of Tyrone in part for his role in the Anglo-Norman rebellion against William Donn de Burgh, 3rd Earl of Ulster. In his place de Ufford installed Áed Remar O'Neill
, son of Donnell.
O'Neill died in 1347 and was succeeded in the lordship of Clandeboye by his son Muirchertach Ceannfada O'Neill.
