'Tír Conaill' (anglicized as
Tyrconnel) was the name of a kingdom which covered much of what is now
County Donegal.
It was founded in the fifth century by a supposed son of
Niall of the Nine Hostages,
Conall Gulban, the
eponymous ancestor of the
Cenél Conaill. His descendants ruled the kingdom till the
Flight of the Earls in September 1607, which marked the end of the kingdom.
