Clandeboye

Clandeboye (from the Irish Clann Aodha Buí; the family of Hugh with the swarthy appearance), was a kingdom of Gaelic Ireland, associated geographically with present-day south County Antrim and north County Down. The entity was relatively late in appearance and is associated partly with the Gaelic resurgence of the High Middle Ages. The Ó Néill Clann Aodha Buidhe who reigned in the territory descended from Aodh Buidhe Ó Néill, a King of Tír Eoghain. His descendants took advantage of the demise of the Earldom of Ulster during the latter 14th century and seized vast portions of territory. The kingdom came to an end at the dawn of the 17th century after Con O'Neill, the last head of the Clandeboye O'Neills, signed away two-thirds of his land to his close associates Hugh Montgomery and James Hamilton who proceeded to privately settle their land with settlers from Great Britain just prior to the larger Plantation of Ulster. Con would die in 1618. James Hamilton, would become the first Viscount Claneboye in 1622.
