Talk:List of rulers of Tyrone

Tír Eógain v Tír Eoghain
The spelling Tír Eógain is incorrect in modern Irish. I suspect that any book using this spelling has either taken it from Old Irish or ignored the ponc séimhithe (dot) over the G, which is used in Gaelic script. There is only one source used for this article, and a quick search on Google Books shows that most others use the spelling Tír Eoghain. ~Asarlaí 20:36, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Context matters. There will obviously be a bazillion hits for Tír Eoghain, but how many of them will have much to do with "kings of Tír Eógain"? Angus McLellan (Talk) 20:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess I should've been more specific — I searched for both "king of Tír Eógain" and "king of Tír Eoghain" (both in quotation marks), with the latter yielding a lot more results. ~Asarlaí 21:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * To expand on that, the RIA history, at volume 2, p. v, says "A Middle Irish standard has been adopted for the period up to 1333, but classical Modern Irish forms have been used thereafter, for example, Áed Ó Conchobair (d. 1233) but Aodh Ó Conchobhair (d. 1363)." If it's good enough for the great and the good who wrote and edited the RIA history, shouldn't be good enough for us too? I don't dispute that there's room for debate here since there are more kings and earls of Tír Eoghain than of Tír Eógain, but that debate can't turn on hit counting as that isn't going to prove anything.

Hugh O'Neill's inauguration
At the foot of the page there is a claim made that Aodh Mor O'Neill was not inaugurated at Tullyhogue-- who makes this claim? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.139.11.36 (talk) 15:58, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

To clarify, Hiram Morgan cites the Calendar of State Papers in his assertion that Tyrone WAS inaugurated at Tullyhogue, in 1595, while Tyrone and Turlough Luineach merely came to terms over succession in 1593. (Tyrone's Rebellion, p. 188)
