Episode 118 “Irish Songs & O'Donnell Abu & The Rest of the Story.”
The title refers to the Gaelic war cry of “Abú,” which means in Irish “To victory,” and it is the rallying cry for the O’Donnell clan. In 1798 they were called to assemble on the banks of the River Erne in Donegal. The Bonnaught was a type of soldier and a Gallowglass was Scottish mercenary soldier. Those warriors are mentioned in the song and they joined the rest of O’Donnell’s forces and O’Donnell’s father-in-law, Hugh O’Neill, Earl of Tyrone and his troops to protect O’Donnell lands.
