Red Hugh, Prince of Donegal

Product Description

"A tale that is not told dies." So say the old Irish storytellers. How much better when the story, like this one about the fighting prince of Donegal, is true! It is 1587 and Queen Elizabeth plans to bring Ireland under her iron rule. Only one thing is stopping her: Warrior queen Ineen Duive and her young son, Hugh Roe O'Donnell. Carefree and proud, young Hugh grows up quickly after he is betrayed to the English and taken to Birmingham Tower as a hostage. Can he escape? If so, can he escape in time to aid the Irish struggle against the English? Facts as exciting as fiction abound in this authentic portrayal of a glorious moment in Irish history.
