Michael "Galloping" Hogan was born in the parish of [[Doon, County Limerick|Doon]], at the foot of the Slieve Phelim hills in East Limerick.

Possibly previously a relatively wealthy landowner, he became a '[[rapparee]]' or brigand following the [[Cromwellian conquest of Ireland]].

Under his expert guidance in 1690, [[Patrick Sarsfield]] and 500 Jacobite troops blew up the Williamite siege train at [[Ballyneety]], Co. Limerick. One eyewitness account says that Galloping Hogan was given the honour of lighting the fuse.

The Williamite war continued until the [[Treaty of Limerick]] was signed in October 1691. But Galloping Hogan refused to accept the Treaty and carried on the struggle for a further six months finally leaving Ireland with the last contingent of ''[[Flight of the Wild Geese|Wild Geese]]'' to sail from Cork in late Spring, 1692. Years later he ended his career as a senior officer in the Portuguese army.
