[edit]I have totally re-written this page. I've added a lot more information and I've also removed some stuff that was just wrong, eg "Wentworth was sent to Ireland to subdue the rebellion". Wentworth was an administrator in Ireland in the years leading up to the rebellion but was recalled and indeed executed by the English Parliament before the rebellion ever happened.

Quite right, if anything Wentworth kept the country under control. The threat that he might bring an Irish Catholic army over in support of Charles contributed to the outbreak of the civil war in England. Whilst the 1641 revolt was certainly reactionary the threat of invasion by the Long Parliament came after the revolt not before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.157.42 (talk) 15:03, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Shane O'Neill, but not the "the proud"
[edit]Quite obviously, like with most O'Neills, there is more than one Shane O'Neill. At some stage I succumbed to the illusion that Phelim's Great-Great Grandfather Shane O'Neill, the father of the Henry O'Neill who died in 1579, was the famous Shane O'Neill, called "the proud". I had even added him to the family tree, which I extended to his generation to include such a famous person. Luckily, User: Fraytel expertly pointed out to me, citation at hand[1], that the Shane in question was not "the proud" but a "Shane O'Neill of Kinard". May nobody else fall into the trap.
