Very good video. I am Irish but I have some Spanish heritage in me from my great great grandparents, some Spanish people ended up in Ireland after failing to conquer Britain with their armada. This is due to the mass of storms that hit the armada during their voyage to Britain which swept the Spanish soldiers to the coast of Ireland.
Hi Bryan! My dad is Cuban and I'm white as well. I'm Spanish and French but have always found the relationship between Spain and Ireland to be very cool too.
I live in a city called Valladolid where is buried Red Hugh O'Donnell in the the disappeared convent of San Francisco,where now is the Zorrilla Theatre and the Main Square.In that convent died Christopher Columbus.
I am from Clonmel in County Tipperary and Clonmel was attacked by Cromwell in 1650 and Cromwell lost near or over 2000 Troops to Hugh Dubh O'Neill, 5th Earl of Tyrone ("Black Hugh", meaning "black-haired" or "dark tempered") (1611-1660) was an Irish soldier of the 17th century. He is best known for his participation in the Irish Confederate Wars and in particular his defense of Clonmel in 1650. O'Neill was a member of the O'Neill dynasty, the leaders of which left Ireland in the flight of the Earls in 1607. Hugh Dubh's father, Art Óg O'Neill, was among those exiles who made careers for themselves in the Spanish Army of Flanders. Hugh Dubh was, as a result, born in Brussels in 1611 and grew up in the Irish military community there, becoming a professional soldier and serving in the Irish regiment of the Spanish army in Flanders during the Eighty Years' War against the United Provinces of the Netherlands. In 1642, his uncle, Owen Roe O'Neill, organized the return of 300 Irish officers in the Spanish service to Ireland to support the Irish Rebellion of 1641. O'Neill's men became the nucleus of the Ulster army of Confederate Ireland - a de facto independent Irish state. Hugh Dubh was captured early in the war by Scottish Covenanter enemies but was exchanged back to his own side after the Confederate victory at the Battle of Benburb in 1646. He subsequently rose to prominence after the death of his commander, Owen Roe O'Neill, in 1649. In 1649, after the onset of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Hugh Dubh was sent south with 2,000 of the best Ulster troops to defend southern Ireland. He distinguished himself at the Siege of Clonmel in May 1650, inflicting the worst casualties ever experienced by the New Model Army. He was then made commander of the defenders at the Siege of Limerick (1650-51), fighting off the Parliamentarians' first attempt to take the city in late 1650. However, the following year, Henry Ireton besieged the city again, eventually forcing Hugh Dubh to surrender when the city's population was dying of hunger and plague, and part of his garrison mutinied against him. Ireton himself died of disease. Under the terms of surrender, Hugh Dubh was to be executed for his stubborn defence of the city, but the Parliamentarian general Edmund Ludlow did not carry out the sentence and instead sent Hugh Dubh into imprisonment in the Tower of London. Hugh Dubh's imprisonment was cut short by the intervention of the Spanish Ambassador to England, who argued that Hugh Dubh was a Spanish subject. Hugh Dubh was subsequently released into Spanish custody on condition that he would not serve in campaigns against English forces. He did not, therefore, return to Flanders, but was posted to Spain, where he became a General of Artillery, helping to suppress a rebellion (known as the Reaper's War) in Catalonia. He became the Spanish recognized 5th Earl of Tyrone upon the death of his first cousin, Hugh Eoghan. In around 1660, after the English Restoration, Hugh Dubh wrote to Charles II and asked for his family's ancestral lands to be restored, and that he be made the English Earl of Tyrone. However, Charles did not grant the request and Hugh Dubh died of disease later that year.
My family is pure spanish. We know it thanks to family books and DNA tests, more than 90% celtiberian. All my family is blond/brown haired and green eyes, also white skin in summer, but, if we take the sun, we go into darker skin. We are just Apex adapted creatures 😂
@Valmar Hispaniae the Basques are not "so different genetically from the rest of Spain". brilliantmaps.com/the-genetic-map-of-europe/ During the Medieval Spanish Reconquista Basque DNA was present North to South through the process of Repoblacion (Repopulation). There are many Basque last names in the South of Spain. Moreover the Spanish language was born as Latin spoken by Basques in La Rioja, in the North of Spain.
Is a big mistake telling the spaniards have dark feauteres, pure spaniards are the first europeans, and you can find all types of hair, eyes colours. Obviously in thehoter places you can find different tones of skin, but an usual spaniard is brown hair, light brown eyes or green and blue, and very white skin.
You should see our Irish - Scottish Royal videos ! We are the only Royal who never abdicated our Royal line in Ireland or Scotland to this day! We are still Royals of Britain and other places!
@@vallgron the story is really interesting, the Irish were fighting for the US against Mexico. But the Mexicans were persuading the irish to join they're militarily since they're both catholic and irish saw the struggles Mexico was going through and it reminded them of what they had to go through with Britain. So they joined the Mexican militarily and the St. Patrick's battalion was created.
You may be right here, I never claimed that he was referred to as "John" amongst the Irish, however, he may have been known among the English as "John" Just as the the kings that were called James in England were called Seamus among the Irish.
Nope. Sorry. You're wrong. He was known as Shane Ó Néill in Ireland, Spain and britain. And you have put 'John' as the main and 'Shane' in brackets, insinuating that he was more famously known as John, when in fact, he was not known as that in any of the three nations. Great documentary otherwise.
Gonzo Documentaries Actually his name was Shane an Diomas Mac Conn Bacagh ui Donnallaigh O Neil. We loved our long winded names in Ireland . It means Shane the Proud, son of Conn the lame, Fostered by the O Donnelly's, and of the clan O Neil. Lol . Very enjoyable. You may enjoy this little snippet given your interest in the Irish Spanish connection. When the Armada broke up and some Spanish ships ended up on the Irish coast, a Spanish captain known as Francisco the Cuellar found himself shipwrecked here. He wrote a letter detailing his time spent with the native Irish, the letter survives and you can read it online at UCC Celt project. University college corks Celt project is in the process of digitizing many ancient Irish manuscripts so they can be viewed by scholars without having to travel to Ireland .
British pressure - Ireland was part of the British sphere of influence/ empire and the thought that Irishmen hostile to Britain would be able to go aboard for military training/ to support potential British enemies was judged detrimental.

That is incorrect , to say that all Spaniard are dark hair and dark eyes.

It's NOT 'John' O'Neill!!!! No-one in Ireland has ever heard of a 'John' O'Neill. He is only known as SHANE Ó Néill.

Why was it Ilegal to recruit the Irish ?
