Portrait is not the 1st Earl: The portrait supposed to be of the 1st Earl is wrong. It is of Donogh O'Brien, 4th Earl of Thomond (died 1624). A display at Bunratty Castle says it is the 4th Earl. Photo here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143717143@N06/26237332559/ "History of the O'Briens", Donough O'Brien, 1949, p.72, says it is the 4th Earl. See here: https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.226219/page/n77 By the way, there is a much better copy of it on the Bunratty site here: https://www.bunrattycastle.ie/getmedia/8af7bae9-01b1-4a27-8cef-46e20449c9ed/Earls-of-Thomond-2.jpg.aspx This mistaken identity appears in quite a few pages so they will have to be changed.
