Flight of the Earls information


Itinerary of the earls

The Flight of the Earls (Irish: Imeacht na nIarlaí)[a] took place in September 1607, when Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and Rory O'Donnell, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell, and about ninety followers, left Ulster in Ireland for mainland Europe. Their permanent exile was a watershed event in Irish history, symbolizing the end of the old Gaelic order.
