Although in England the Elizabethan era is regarded as a golden age, the same period in Ireland has a much darker and murkier appear-ance. The aim of this paper is to try to somewhat illuminate this period by looking at the Hugh O'Neill, the dominant Irish figure in the last decades ofElizabeth's reign, leader of the Gaelic forces in the Nine Years War Rather than trying to minutely analyse O'Neill's life, we intend to use the concepts of 'self fashioning and 'the flexibility of the self' to see if they can aid to unravel the puzzle of Elizabethan Ireland.
