Tadhg O hUiginn is thought to have been born in County Sligo, but fostered in County Donegal. He was a bard, and about forty of his poems survive, some of which are addressed to the O'Neills, the O'Rourkes and the Maguires. He was murdered by the O'Haras because he had satirised them in one of his poems.
