Wikipedia entry on the Battle of the Yellow Ford (1598): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Yellow_Ford. It was basically the O'Neills versus the English, and it was during the reign of Elizabeth I. Hence, presumably, the first lines of the song, " The Virgin Queen rests uncontented/Hugh O’Neill her crown has dented." This is the context of the song I mentioned, "O'Donnell Abou."
