Henry O'Hagan
Henry O'Hagan (Irish: Enri Ó hAgáin; fl. 1599 – 1616) was an Irish secretary who worked for Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, during the Nine Years' War.[1][2] Charles Patrick Meehan described him as "O'Neill's faithful secretary".[3]
Life
[edit]The O'Hagan family fostered Hugh O'Neill in his youth.[4][5]
Henry O'Hagan organised the famous riverside parley between O'Neill and Lord Deputy Essex in 1599.[6][7]
O'Hagan took part in the Flight of the Earls in September 1607, leaving Ireland for mainland Europe.[8]
According to Charles Patrick Meehan, O'Hagan died in 1610, and was buried close to the grave of O'Neill's son Hugh, 4th Baron Dungannon.[3] Dungannon died in September 1609[9][10] and was buried in San Pietro in Montorio, Rome.[11][12]
However, historian Jerrold Casway believes that after O'Neill's death on 20 July 1616,[13] Henry O'Hagan settled disputes over his will.[2]
