Excerpt: Feargus Edward O'Connor (1794 30 August 1855) was an Irish Chartist leader and advocate of the Land Plan. Feargus O'Connor was born into a prominent Irish Protestant family, the son of Irish Nationalist politician Roger O'Connor (1762-1834). They claimed to be the descendants of the late Independent King of Ireland or perhaps King of Connaught, Roderick O'Connor, Rory O'Connor, Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair, (1116 - succeeds to his father Turlogh O'Connor, Toirdelbach Ua Conchobair, Turlough Mor O'Connor, the High King of Ireland, in 1156 - deposed 1186 - Cong Abbey, 1198). He was also the nephew of Arthur O'Connor (1753- General with Napoleon, 1804 - Permanently exiled 1807 - 1852), Member of the Irish Parliament between 1791 and 1795, (abolished by the British Government in 1798), the agent in France for Robert Emmet's rebellion; both of whom were famous for belonging to the United Irishmen. His elder brother Francis, (June 1791 - October 1870) became a general in Simon Bolivar's army of liberation in South America. Much of his early life was spent on his family's estates in Ireland. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he studied law before inheriting an estate from his uncle in 1820. During the 1830s he emerged as an advocate for Irish rights and democratic political reform as a notable critic of the English Whig government's policies on Ireland. In 1832, he was elected to the British House of Commons as Member of Parliament for County Cork, but was disqualified in 1835 because he failed to satisfy the property requirement for MPs. In 1837 he founded at Leeds, (Yorkshire), a radical newspaper, the Northern Star and worked with others to support a radical view of Chartism through the London Democratic Association, Feargus O´Connor bei...
