1566 CE

The English invade Donegal in 1566 and restore Calvagh O'Donnell, who, however, dies in this year.

As his son Conn is a prisoner in the hands of Shane O'Neill, his half-brother Hugh MacManus is inaugurated The O'Donnell in his place.

Hugh, who in the family feud with Calvagh had allied himself with O'Neill, now turns around and combines with the English to crush the hereditary enemy of his family.
