About
Jump to
Sir Neil O'Neill, 2nd Baronet (Irish: Niall Ua Néill; January 1658 – 8 July 1690) was an Irish military officer who was the Lord of Clandeboye, a powerful clan of the ancient Northern Uí Néill. O'Neill's portrait from 1680 by John Michael Wright is historically significant because it is the only surviving contemporary presentation of the traditional costume of an Irish chieftain. At his feet is the armour of a Japanese samurai as a symbol of victory over the oppression of Catholics; next to him is an Irish wolfhound as a symbol of Ireland.
