Hugh Roe O'Donnell II, also known as Red Hugh O'Donnell, was a sixteenth-century Irish clan chief, Lord of Tyrconnell, and senior leader during the rising of the Irish clans against English rule in Ireland known as the Nine Years' War (1593-1603). While Hiram Morgan has contemptuously dubbed Hugh Roe O'Donnell, "a counter-reformation Irish dynast living in the world of Machiavelli's Prince rather than The Cattle-Raid of Cooley", Morgan also concedes that primary sources other than the Elizabethan era English officials who wrote the Calendar of State Papers depict Hugh Roe as a man who genuinely believed in and lived by the traditional code of conduct demanded of an Irish clan chief. For this reason, Hugh Roe remains an iconic figure in the history of Irish nationalism and has recently drawn comparisons in the Spanish news media to both El Cid and William Wallace.
