Notes about Conn Ceadchathach 110th MONARCH of IRELAND; `of the Hundred Battles'

"Conn of the Hundred Fights, sleep in thy grass-grown tomb, and upbraid not cur defeats with thy victories."
To that amcient hero and warrior, Moore pays a graceful tribute of respect in the songs "How oft has the Banshee cried," given in the Irish Mdodies.
According to the popular belief, the "Banshee" or guardian spirit Of the House of Conn of the Hundred Fights, above mentioned, night after night, in the Castle of Dungannon, upbraided the famous Hugh O'Neill, for having accepted the Earldom of Tir-owen, conferred on him by Queen Elizabeth, A.D. 1587. "Hence," writes O'Callaghan, "the Earl did afterwards assume the name of O'Neill, and therewith he was so elevated that he would often boast, that he would rather be O'Neill of Ulster than King of Spain." On his submission, however, A. D. 1603, his title and estates were confirmed to him by King James the First. —O'CALLAGRAN.
It is worthy of remark, that, while Conn of the Hundred Battles lived in the second century, we read in the Tripartite Life St. Patrick, that this Pagan Monarch "prophesied" the introduction of Christianity into Ireland!
