Taoiseach, saighdiúir, file, agus prionsa Gaelach ar an nós Eorpach ba ea Mánas Ó Dónaill. Bhí gean aige ar fhilí agus ar fhilíocht, agus chuir sé féin an leabhar 'Beatha Cholmcille' á scríobh.
Bhí Tadhg Dall Ó hUiginn ar dhuine d'fhilí móra na nGael. Bhain sé le teaghlach filí cáiliúil ó thuaisceart Chonnacht. Trína chuid filíochta chuir sé aithne ar thaoisigh mhóra a linne - Ó Néill, Ó Dónaill, Ó Conchúir Shligigh, agus Búrcaigh Chonnacht.
The Leinster chieftain Fiacha mac Aodha Ó Broin (Feagh mcHugh O'Beirne) is renowned all over Ireland. He stood his ground against the English invader and defeated the army of Lord Grey in Glenmolure. His story belongs to the great Gaelic tales of valour.
