Aodh Ruadh Ó Domhnaill, anglicised as Red Hugh O'Donnell (1572 – 10 September 1602), was "The O'Donnell" and king of Tyrconnell (modern-day County Donegal, Republic of Ireland). He led a rebellion against English government in Ireland from 1593 and helped to lead the Nine Years' War from 1595 to 1603. He is sometimes also known as Aodh Ruadh II or Red Hugh II, especially within County Donegal.
For the political context of O'Donnell's life see the Tudor conquest of Ireland
Hugh Roe O'Donnell was born to the Gaelic Lord of Tyrconnell, Sir Hugh O'Donnell, and his second wife, the Ineen Dubh, in 1572. He had numerous brothers and sisters including Donnell, Rory and Cathbarr. Sir Hugh was a long-standing ally of the Crown, in attempt to counterbalance the power of Shane O'Neill and Turlough Luineach O'Neill the rulers of neighboring Tyrone. In Sir Hugh's later years, a long-running succession dispute broke out to determine who would succeed him. Although Ineen Dubh pushed the case for Hugh Roe to succeed, it was his elder half-brother Donnell who emerged as the leading candidate. The Crown chose to support Donnell as it regarded him as the rightful and most stable potential ruler, partly due to the fact that Donnell's mother was a local woman while Hugh Roe's was from Scotland.
Hugh O'Donnell may refer to:
The O'Donnell dynasty (Irish: Ó Dónaill or Ó Domhnaill; derived from the Irish name Domhnall, which means "ruler of the world", Dónall in modern Irish) were an ancient and powerful Irish family, kings, princes and lords of Tyrconnell (Tír Chonaill in Irish, now County Donegal) in early times, and the chief allies and sometimes rivals of the O'Neills in Ulster.
Like the family of O'Neill, that of O'Donnell of Tyrconnell was of the Uí Néill, i.e. descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages, High King of Ireland at the beginning of the 5th century; the O'Neill, or Cenél nEógain, tracing their pedigree to Eógan mac Néill, and the O'Donnells, or Cenél Conaill, to Conall Gulban, both sons of Niall. Conall was baptised by St. Patrick.

Who dares to say forget the past, to men of Irish birth? Who dares to say cease fighting, for our place upon this earth? Let remembrance be our watchword, and our dead we’ll never fail. Let their graves be to us as milestones, on that blood-soaked one-way trail. Remember how Owen Roe fought, Port Lester mill beside. No man can say a coward fell when Hugh O’Donnell died. Remember Ruth and Sarsfield and forget, whoever will, That glorious stand at Limerick, at Kilnacaden hill. How Emmett’s gallant handful, in historic Dublin Town, Came out to give their challenge to the forces of the crown. And then for a time, ’twas silence. Was Ireland’s struggle done? The answer’s in the negative, thundered many a Fenian gun. And then when England thought she’d won, that we at last were meek, Roared...
Lyrics: "Who Is Ireland's Enemy?" O, who is Ireland's enemy? Not Germany, nor Spain, Not Russia, France nor Austria; They forged for her no chains, Nor quenched her hearths, Nor razed her homes, Nor laid her altars low, Nor sent her sons to tramp the hills Amid the winter snow. Who murdered kingly Shane O'Neill? Who poisoned Eoghan Roe? Who struck Red Hugh O'Donnell down? Who filled our land with woe? By night and day a thousand times, In twice four hundred years, 'Till every blade of Irish grass Was wet with blood and tears. Who spiked the heads of Irish priests On Dublin Castle's gate? Who butchered helpless Irish babes, A lust for blood to sate? Who outraged Irish maidenhood, And tortured aged sires, And spread from Cork to Donegal The glare of midnight fires? Who scourged our la...
