The O'Connell Coat Of Arms Story
Read the intriguing transcription of the text illustrated on the O'Connell family history parchment:
This ancient sept dominated the brooding and mysterious loughs and mountains of Kerry, claiming descent from Ertmonian Dengus Tuirmeach, who is thought to have been High King of Ireland in 280 B.C. The early form of the name was OāConghall, and the sept was originally in east Kerry, their chieftain being Lord of Magunihy in the beautiful Killarney region. In the 11th century the OāDonoghues drive there westwards to the Atlantic coast whereby the 15h century, they had become hereditary governors of Ballycarbery Castle. During the upheavals of the 17th century, the most prominent family of the sept was moved to County Clare, where its descendants still remain today leading OāConnell family are once again located in the barony of Magunihy. This sept has produced truly outstanding Irishmen. An exile, Daniel Count OāConnell, who died in 1833, was the ālast colonel of the Irish decadeā in France at a time when his kinsman, Daron Moritz OāConnell, also serving on the continent, was chamberlain to three different emperors. Friar John OāConnell composed the historical poem āTuiereadh na Heireannā in 1700, and Peter, another academic of the family, born seventy-five years later, was described as āthe best Irish scholar in the Ireland of a century ago.ā Maurice OāConnell was a celebrated squire, smuggler and autocrat known as āhuntingĀ capā but it was his nephew who was to give the name world-wode fame. This impressive barrister, Daniel OāConnell, early in the 19th century, earned the title āThe Liberatorā by his representation of the Irish people in the house of Commons. He was a sincere and gifted statesman whose magnificent oratory made him an eminent leader.
