Rory O'Donnell, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell (Irish: Rudhraighe[b] Ó Domhnaill; 1575 – 28 July 1608), was an Irish Gaelic lord and the last lord of Tyrconnell prior to the Plantation of Ulster. He succeeded his older brother Hugh Roe O'Donnell and in 1603 became the first to be styled the Earl of Tyrconnell.[5] In 1607, following their defeat in the Nine Years' War, Tyrconnell and his wartime ally Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, fled Ireland for mainland Europe. Tyrconnell died of a fever shortly after settling in Rome.
