I'm really look forward to this. A series about Hugh O'Neill and The Nine Year Wars. One of the confirmed stars is Aiden Gillen who was in Game of Thrones and The Wire. Grace O'Malley will make an appearance as well.
THE O'NEILL follows Ireland’s O’Neill dynasty, its most powerful Gaelic lordship, as in 1560 a nine year old Hugh O’Neill is taken from his native Ireland and groomed as an English Lord at the English Court where he forms a tight bond with the future Queen Elizabeth I, only 10 years his senior. Sent back to Ireland after he came of age to govern for the crown, he has to decide between becoming an English landlord or a Gaelic warlord. His decision would mark the greatest threat to England sovereignty until WWII. Aidan Gillen will play Sir Henry Bagnal, Marshall of Elizabeth I’s Royal Irish Army and O’Neill’s bitter arch enemy. Hugh O’Neill managed to unite the clans and start the Nine Years War becoming a sort of a rock star for the people of Europe of that time. Many of the clans in the series will have female leaders such as Ineen Dubh of the O’Donnells and Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen of The O’Malley,
