Bryan Roe Maguire, 1st Baron of Enniskillen (Brian Rua Mag Uidhir; 1589–1633), was a Gaelic Irish nobleman from Magherastephana, County Fermanagh.[1] He was the son of Connor Roe Maguire, nicknamed "the Queen's Maguire" for his support of Elizabeth I's campaign in the Nine Years' War. Bryan was knighted on 2 February 1626 and made "Lord Maguire, Baron of Enniskillen" by James I on 3 March 1627.[1][2] The Annals of the Four Masters was compiled under his patronage.[1] His sons Connor Maguire, 2nd Baron and Colonel Rory Maguire died as officers of Confederate Ireland.[1]
