11/6/1649: The death of Roe O'Neil.
(born c.1590, the younger brother of Hugh)


          "Did they dare, did they dare to slay Owen Roe O'Neil?"
          "Yes, they slew with poison him they feared to meet with steel."
          "May God wither up their hearts!  May their blood cease to flow!
          May they walk in living death, who poisoned Owen Roe!
  
                  "Lament for the Death of Eoghan Ruadh O'Neil,"
                  Irish Minstrelsy, p147; H. Halliday Sparling, 1899
