Cathbarr O'Donnell
Irish nobleman (died 1608)
Cathbarr O'Donnell (Irish: Cathbarr Ó Domhnaill, c. 1583 - 15 September 1608)[1][2] was an Irish nobleman and member of the O'Donnell dynasty of Tyrconnell.
Cathbarr's elder half-brother, Sir Domhnaill Ó Domhnaill, was a dynastic rival of Cathbarr's elder full brother, Aodh Ruadh Ó Domhnaill II (Red Hugh O'Donnell II), in the lengthy Ó Domhnaill succession dispute until Sir Domhnaill's death at the Battle of Doire Leathan in September 1590. Aodh Ruadh II (Red Hugh II) became head of the Ó Domhnaill dynasty in 1592. Cathbarr supported his elder brother during Tyrone's Rebellion (1594–1603). In 1602, another elder brother, Rory, succeeded Aodh Ruadh and made peace with the Crown. The following year, Rory was made Earl of Tyrconnell.
After Cathbarr's death, Rosa remarried to the Irish soldier Owen Roe O'Neill. Cathbarr's son with Rosa, Hugh O'Donnell became a Captain in the Spanish Army, serving in his stepfather's regiment in Flanders. He was killed in 1625 during the Siege of Breda.[5]
^Concannon believed Siobhán was born c. 1569, and that her mother was Iníon Dubh,[iii] who married Sir Hugh around that time. However, Siobhán married Hugh O'Neill in 1574, making that date of birth unlikely. Casway and Walsh believe Siobhán's mother was Sir Hugh's first wife.[iv][v]
^In a letter dated 31 January 1591, O'Neill references Siobhán's recent death.[v]
^Her death date has alternately been given as 1639, 26 April 1640, or sometime after 31 March 1642.[v]
^Sources disagree on Henry's date of death: 1610,[iv] c. 1620,[xix] or c. 1626.[viii] It is clear that he died sometime before the publication of Philip O'Sullevan's
Historia Catholica in 1621.[v]
^According to the English officials who wrote the Calendar of State Papers, Hugh Roe personally killed Niall Garve's four-year-old son (also his own nephew)[xlviii]
^Gráinne is known only as a sister of the Earl (i.e., Rory), with no additional information.[lix]
^ abConcannon, p. 218-219 "Siobhan was probably the eldest of the family, and must have been born not later than 1569." "We know little of Siobhan, who can hardly have been more than one-and- twenty, when she died in 1590."
^ abHill 1873, page 222. "Sir Randal Macdonnell was married about the year 1604 to Ellis or Alice O'Neill, the third daughter of Hugh earl of Tyrone. This lady, who was born in 1583, was in her twenty-first year at the time of her marriage, and was younger than either of her sisters, lady Macmahon or Lady Maginnis. She was older than her brother Hugh, the baron of Dungannon."

^Annals of the Four Masters: "1590: ...the son of O'Donnell himself, who, being unable to display prowess or defend himself, was slain at Doire-leathan, on one side of the harbour of Telinn, on the 14th of September."
^Annals of the Four Masters: "1602:...O'Donnell should take the disease of his death and the sickness of his dissolution; and, after lying seventeen days on the bed, he died, on the 10th of September, in the house which the King of Spain himself had at that town (Simancas)...""
^ abSilke 2006 "Hugh Albert O'Donnell, born [to Rory and Bridget] about October 1606, was the only son of this marriage, Mary Stuart O'Donnell being born about a year later."

^Concannon, p. 218 "O'Clery tells us that Nuala was already married to Niall Garbh in 1592. This will place her birth-year with some degree of probability about 1577 — not later."
^Knox 2002, p. 26. In contrast to Concannon, Knox believes Nuala was Rory's older sister.
