The Bard Of Armagh
"The Bard of Armagh" is an Irish ballad. It is often attributed to Patrick Donnelly. He was made Bishop of Dromore in 1697, the same year as the enactment of the Bishops Banishment Act. Donnelly is believed to have taken the name of the travelling harper Phelim Brady. The Irish language version appears to have been lost. The song itself, like many heroic, rebel outlaw ballads, dates from the mid 19th century, when it was printed as a broadside ballad in Dublin.Bodleian Ballads The same melody is used in the songs " Príosún Chluain Meala" - (The Jail of Clonmel), " The Sailor Cut Down in his Prime" and " The Streets of Laredo"; Vince Gill recorded a version of three verses of this song followed by three verses of The Streets of Laredo on the album Long Journey Home, a compilation of songs about Irish emigration and the links between Irish and American folk and country music featuring various Irish and British-Irish artists, in 1998.

Bishop Of Dromore
The Bishop of Dromore is an episcopal title which takes its name after the original monastery of Dromore in County Down, Northern Ireland. In the Roman Catholic Church the title still continues as a separate bishopric, but in the Church of Ireland it has been united with other bishoprics. History The monastery of Dromore is believed to have been founded by St Colman, first bishop or abbot of Dromore, sometime between 497 and 513. The first building was a small wattle and daub church on the northern bank of the River Lagan. Only a couple of the names of the monastic-bishops survive. Mael-Brigid Mac Cathasaigh, bishop and abbot of Dromore, died in 972, and in the Annals of Ulster record the death of Riagán, bishop of Druim Mór, in 1101. The diocese of Dromore was established through the reorganisation of the Irish Church in the late 12th century, possibly at the synod held in Dublin in 1192 by the papal legate, Múirges Ua hÉnna, Archbishop of Cashel. The diocese coincided with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eoghan Ó Donnghaile
Eoghan Ó Donnghaile (Owen O'Donnelly) (fl. c. 1690) was an Irish poet. Eugene O'Curry wrote of Ó Donnghaile in his ''Manners and Customs '', saying that: "About 1680 a controversy sprang up among some of the bards of Ulster as to what race by ancient right belonged the armorial bearing of Ulster – the Red Hand – belonged. Eoghan Ó Donnghaile took part in the controversy and claimed the Red Hand for the O'Neills of Tyrone." Robin Flower believed that Ó Donnghaile was a member of the bardic family that had fostered Séan 'an díomais' Ó Néill (Séan Ó Néill, Shane O'Neill), and there is a lament for Shane – ''Ceist ar eolchibh iath Éireann/A question for the learned of Ireland ...'' – attributed to Ó Donnghaile. Shane's fosterage among the Ó Donnghailes of Ballydonnelly, County Tyrone, led to him being known as Shane Ó Donnghaileach. Seosamh Ó Dufaigh held that he may be identical with the Eoghan Ó Donnghaile listed on the 1704 registration of clergy for th ...

People From Cookstown
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of p ...

18th-century Roman Catholic Bishops In Ireland
The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 ( MDCCI) to December 31, 1800 ( MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. During the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, while declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures, including the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with an emphasis on directly interconnected events.
