Eochaidh Ó hÉoghusa (1567–1617) was a well-known Irish bardic poet.[1][2]:xii


Life


A native of Ulster, born probably in Baile Uí Eodhasa (Ballyhoo), in what is now County Fermanagh,[1] Ó hÉoghusa was employed for much of his life by the Mág Uidhir (Maguire) chiefs of Fermanagh.[1] Among his most well-known works are several poems included in the Leabhar Branach, a literary compendium of mostly Gaelic poets of Leinster,[2]:xii dedicated to the O'Byrne chiefs of Wicklow who "by their success in maintaining the independence and integrity of their mountainous territory against great odds until the final collapse, they were in a position to attract poets of repute from distant parts of Ireland."[2]:xiii
