Hugh Maguire (Lord of Fermanagh)

Sir Hugh Maguire (Irish: Aodh Mág Uidhir; died 1 March 1600) was an Irish lord and military commander, who was notably the first Gaelic chief to openly rebel against Elizabeth I's conquest of Ireland. He was a founding member of the confederacy of Irish lords which opposed English rule during the Nine Years' War.

Maguire secured the lordship of Fermanagh upon his father's death in 1589. In early 1593, Maguire revolted against the appointment of Humphrey Willis as Sheriff of Fermanagh. He joined prominent Ulster lords Hugh Roe O'Donnell and Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, in seeking military assistance from Spain. Subsequent conflicts, which included the Battle of Belleek and the Battle of the Ford of the Biscuits, were among the first of the Nine Years' War. Maguire held command at the Battle of the Yellow Ford, which resulted in a crucial confederate victory. In 1600, he was fatally shot by British officer Warham St Leger in a skirmish near Carrigrohane.
