Draft:Henry O'Hagan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry O'Hagan (fl. 1599 – 1616) was an Irish secretary who worked for Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, during the Nine Years' War.[1][2][3] Charles Patrick Meehan described him as "O'Neill's faithful secretary".[4]

The O'Hagan family fostered Hugh O'Neill in his youth.[5][6]

Henry O'Hagan organised the famous riverside parley between O'Neill and Lord Deputy Essex in 1599.[1]

O'Hagan took part in the Flight of the Earls in September 1607, leaving Ireland for mainland Europe.[7]

According to Charles Patrick Meehan, O'Hagan died in 1610, and was buried close to the grave of O'Neill's son Hugh, 4th Baron Dungannon.[4] Dungannon died in September 1609[8][9] and was buried in San Pietro in Montorio, Rome.[10][11]

After O'Neill's death on 20 July 1616,[12] Henry O'Hagan settled disputes over his will.[3]
