Colonel Shane O'Neill, 3rd Earl of Tyrone[3][a] (Irish: Seán Ó Néill; Spanish: Juan O'Neill; 18 October 1599 – 27 January 1641) was an Irish-born nobleman, member of the Spanish nobility and soldier in the Spanish army who primarily lived and served in Continental Europe.
Shane was a son of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone. Though James I of England had attainted his father's title in 1613,[3][8] the Spanish court granted Shane the equivalent Spanish title El Conde de Tyrone.[3]
