Tyrconnell (Tír Chonaill)

Tír Chonaill, the O'Donnell lordship of what is now County Donegal (with Inishowen under its O'Doherty sub-kings). It ended with the Flight of the Earls in 1607 and the Plantation of Ulster.

By 1200 the O'Donnells were established as its kings; Cenél Conaill rule there is much older. O'Donnell overlordship extended over Fermanagh and north Connacht.
