DeutschHenry O'Hagan
Henry O'Hagan (Irish: Enri Ó hAgáin;[1] fl. 1599 – 1616) was an Irish secretary who worked for Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, during the Nine Years' War.[2][3] Charles Patrick Meehan described him as "O'Neill's faithful secretary".[4]
Life
[edit]The O'Hagan family fostered Hugh O'Neill in his youth.[5][6]
Henry O'Hagan organised the famous riverside parley between O'Neill and Lord Deputy Essex in 1599.[7][8]
O'Hagan took part in the Flight of the Earls in September 1607, leaving Ireland for mainland Europe.[1]
After O'Neill's death on 20 July 1616,[9] Henry O'Hagan settled disputes over his will.[3]
According to the registry of San Pietro in Montorio, the Earl's secretary died in 1610 and was buried there. Meehan believed that this refers to O'Hagan, but it actually refers to the Tyrone's other secretary, Henry Hovenden.[10][4]
