Henry Joseph O'Donnell
Henry Joseph O'Donnell (1769-1834), count of La Bisbal , Spanish soldier, was descended from the O'Donnells who left Ireland after the battle of the Boyne.
Born in Spain, he early entered the Spanish army, and in 1810 became general, receiving a command in Catalonia, where in that year he earned his title and the rank of field-marshal. He afterwards held posts of great responsibility under Ferdinand VII, whom he served on the whole with constancy; the events of 1823 compelled his flight into France, where he was interned at Limoges, and where he died in 1834.
