My ancestors were O'Neills and the family crest features a red hand dripping blood, the red hand of Ulster. The legend I was told from my grandfather was that the great chieftains were all in a boat approaching the shore of Ireland for the first time and there was a prophecy that the first of them to lay his hand on Irish soil would be king so while the were still too far to jump off the boats and wade ashore the O'Neill chopped of his own hand and threw it onto the beach so he'd be the one to fulfil the prophecy.

@joyful_tanya 2 месяца назад

@@thomasmcshane2523 right, but on genealogical research which goes back to the 1400s they would have still borne the O'Neill name. Ancestors, not currently. Matralineal lines always change their names. That is why they never followed the mother's and daughter's bloodlines. How many married women from the 13th -19th century didn't change their names to their husband's? That is why mother's family names were given as a middle or additional name. So future generations know what family she was born into.

The O'Neill history and battles are right out of The Game of Thrones - strategy, deceit and murder. One chapter of that history is reminiscent of "The Red Wedding". Alas, my ancestors were the Cawlfeilds (Caulfeilds). The constant battles led my ancestor to leave Ireland and settle in the Virginia Colony in the mid-1700's. The history of Northern Ireland is fascinating and I hope to visit someday.

The British treatment of the Cathatch of St. Columba in their "restoration" was so backwards, barbaric and destructive that it's proof that not only can history be changed, but that Cathatch was indeed a divine relic under holy protection because in spite it all, much of the book survived. Leave it to a ghoulish Brit to exhume a corpse to engender their own myopic take on how that dead person lived.

@finbarmarkey 6 месяцев назад

Ye appear to have forgotten to mention Ulster went from being the most Irish to the most Protestant English in a flash due to the genocide of the Irish natives. Remarkable that you presented it in such a positive light. Ye might have at least referred to it briefly in a sensitive way. To make an additional point, Ireland had a market economy, the pottery you found is an artefact of that. Again, patronising to suggest the English brought market economy to Ireland. Our ancient Bogman bodies showed evidence of travel and trade thousands of years ago. The English brought trade in slavery and indenture, the economy of war, and the export of that which they stole. Other than that, an interesting episode. Made me tingle to think of holding those stones from the walls in my hands, the same stone held by a workman who put it there so long ago.

@jackocallaghan9077 6 месяцев назад

Due to war lad. If our nobles didn't leave Ulster we might have held back the invasion as much as in Munster. This was a time of war. The Gaelic Irish took slaves from Britain. If we weren't so at each other's throats we could have put up a decent resistance. But alas, we loved nothing more than siding with the English to spite our neighbour.

11:18 oh Hugh O'Neill, was wondering which of them we talking about here. I'm a McLaughlin, so I am more Northwest (Donegal/Inishowen) as a direct ancestor of Niall's son Eoghan). My middle name is Hugh or Aedh. First name Brian, which is of Brión, another brother of Niall. As a McLaughlin (Mac Lochlainn), should understand why I am not really a fan of the O'Neills, but they my blood anyway. I think this was after they did what they did and went East to take over central Ulster.

Both of the above. Because most were/are real atcheologists with day jobs, these had to be filmed over a long weekend. Furthermore, as a regulare television show, time was needed for the production company to edit the show together, hence a standard format. However, when they uncovered something interesting, or were asked to do an assessment, later follow up digs by local or specialized archeologist would be set in motion. Those results would be in various academic journals, and will, however briefly, mention time team's work.

I’m naive, how is there feet of soil burying all the history in Great Britain? In the US we’re lucking to have even inches of top soil.

@helenamcginty4920 6 месяцев назад

Not sure but i'd guess time. Plus maybe, at times, topography. I know that pavings in my late parent's garden on a very slight slope was at least half a spade depth underground. They bought the house in 1964 but it was only built in a green field 21 years previously. So the path would have been younger. We get a lot of rain so plenty of time for vegetation to grow and rot. We kids loved exploring and rooting around. There was a cast iron car chasis buried in one corner.
