Uí Néill |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.05 sec. |
Uí NéillMajor dynasty of medieval Ireland, which long dominated Ulster. It was founded by a shadowy figure known as Niall of the Nine Hostages (r. 379–405). Divided into northern and southern branches, the Uí Néill ruled as high kings, to whom all other Irish kings owed deference. In the early 11th century the king of Munster, Brian Boru, challenged the high kings of the Uí Néill dynasty and ended their dominance. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| Husband John O'Neill holds photo of an O'Neill family picnic, taken on the family farm in 1931. Lumet's black-and-white film opens up the play, setting some of the action on the porch, the grounds and the garage of the Tyrone abode; Wellington's film, shot in colour in the Super 35mm format, keeps the viewer inside the very realistic, detailed recreation of the O'Neill family summer home in New London, Connecticut. In 1994, the property was purchased by the O'Neill family of Golden State Vintners and reopened as Edgewood Estate Winery. |
