Tadhg Ó Cianáin

Tadhg Ó Cianáin

Tadhg Ó Cianáin, fl. 1600, was the author of a journal-style chronicle of the Flight of the Earls from Donegal to Rome between September 1607 and April 1608. In 1627, while collecting materials for what would become the "Annals of the Four Masters," Mícheál Ó Cléirigh made use of some hagiographical material written by him, since lost.
