O'Connor dynasty

The O'Connor dynasty refers to a prominent Irish noble family originating from the Gaelic aristocracy, notably in the medieval period. The most famous member, Rory O'Connor, was the last High King of Ireland before English conquest. The family held significant political power, lands, and influence in Ireland for centuries, especially in the west. Their legacy includes contributions to Irish culture and history, symbolizing Gaelic sovereignty and resistance to outside dominance. The O'Connors' history reflects Ireland's complex feudal and cultural evolution from native rule toward modern nationhood.
