Conn O'Neill (Irish: Conn Ó Néill; c. 1572–1601), known as Conn Mac An Iarla[1][2] ("son of the Earl"), was an Irish soldier of noble ancestry. The eldest son of Gaelic lord Hugh O'Neill, he fought for his father in the Nine Years' War. Historian Paul Walsh described Conn as a "capable soldier".[3]
