London by an English adventurer, who was disappointed to find that the head-silver due on O'Byrne had already been paid in Ireland. The queen was angered that, "the head of such a base Robin Hood was brought solemnly into England". The offending item was prepared for burial, but was found a day or two later in Enfield Chase, outside London, perched in the fork of a tree. Descendants "Many efforts have been made over the years to find modern descendants of the Glenmalur Chief, Feach mac Hugh O'Byrne. None have met with any notable success." Toirdelbhach, Fiach's eldest son, was executed on 18 July 1595. He had two daughters and no sons. Fiach's second son, Felim Buidh na Laragh, was an M.P. for County Wicklow and died in 1630. He married Winifred O'Toole of Castlekevin (daughter of Luke), who died in 1628. A son of the couple was Brian O'Birn of Ballincor, outlawed in 1652. His son was Colonel Shane mac Brian O'Birn, who served in the army of the Irish Catholic Confederation in the 1640s. A family genealogy brings Fiach's descendants down to 1875, in the persons of brothers Alfred and John Byrne of Sleaty, County Laois. Alfred, a soldier, was the eldest and would have been ninth in descent from Felim, his pedigree been Alfred, son of Gerald of Sleaty, son of Charles of Sleaty, son of Gerald of Ballinakill, son of Charles, son of Edmond of Ballinakill (died 1737,) son of Hugh, son of Shane, son of Brian, son of Felim, son of Fiach. Mac Brádaigh agrees that the descent down to Colonel Shane O'Birn is correct, it has been verified in the genealogies of the Gabhal Raghnail. He furthermore is inclined to accept the descent from Edmond O'Birn of Ballinakill, Clonmore (died 1737) down to Alfred and John. However, Mac Brádaigh casts grave doubts on the authenticity of Aodh Ó Broin, putative son of Colonel Ó Broin, stating that he "does not belong naturally in either section. ... He is called Aodh Gancagh in the description of his putative son Éamon, a description which associates the latter, and by implication the former, with the place called Clonmore. This makes it apparent that simple 'Aodh Ó Broin' is meant to be Aodh Gancagh of Clonmore but the later in its full form was the name of an uncle of Feach mac Aodha and brother to his mother
