[lang_en]Yes, it is true…

A little note today on a Portuguese daily about the heir to the throne of Ireland being Portuguese in Diário de Noticias.

Indeed, from: O’Neill coat of arms

Hugo O Neill, son of Jorge, whose family has been in Portugal since the eighteenth century, is officially recognized by the offices of arms throughout Europe as titular Prince and Count of Tyrone and Clanaboy, but he refuses to use this title. Hugo is, in fact, a Portuguese nobleman who prefers to use his Irish title, O Neill Buidhe of Clanaboy.

De facto, é verdade…

… Em 1607, no chamado The Flight Of The Earls – episódio da história da Irlanda que se refere ao exí­lio compulsório da aristocracia do Ulster – Hugh O’Neill, o último rei do Ulster, deixou o paí­s.

A Portugal o primeiro O’Neill chegou em 1736. Chamava-se Shane e tinha boas relações com a monarquia e a mais alta aristocracia.
