The O'Gallaghers served as marshals of the O'Donnell military forces, a role that placed them at the heart of Ulster's military power through the medieval centuries and beyond. Their heartland was the Barnesmore Gap country and the Finn Valley region of south Donegal, and the Gallagher name remains one of the most characteristic surnames of that beautiful county today. This Irish woven blanket, featuring the O'Gallagher family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honours a proud Donegal heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe O'Gallagher family served as hereditary marshals of the O'Donnell army, providing military leadership for one of Ulster's most formidable Gaelic lordships. Their alliance with the O'Donnells made them central figures in the great events of Ulster Gaelic history — the wars against the English crown, the Nine Years' War under Hugh O'Neill and Red Hugh O'Donnell, and ultimately the Flight of the Earls in 1607, which brought the old Gaelic order of Ulster to a close. The O'Gallaghers who remained in Donegal after the Plantation carried their name and their identity through the difficult centuries that followed, and today Gallagher is among the most common surnames in Donegal and across the Irish diaspora worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the O'Gallagher family crest and the Irish National Tartan formed within the textile during weaving, part of the cloth structure rather than a surface print.
