Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Fighting Prince of Donegal is a 1966 Walt Disney Productions historical adventure film directed by Michael O'Herlihy and starring Peter McEnery, Susan Hampshire, Tom Adams, Andrew Keir, Gordon Jackson and Richard Leech.It is based on the novel Red Hugh: Prince of Donegal by Robert T. Reilly and loosely follows the real-life exploits of late 16th century Irish prince Hugh Roe O'Donnell (McEnery). The story begins in 1587, when Hugh's father, the Chief of the Name, dies, leaving his son as chief of the O'Donnell clan. It seemingly fulfills an Irish prophecy which promises freedom from English rule, when Queen Elizabeth I had large parts of Ireland occupied.In response, Sir John Perrott (the Queen's Lord Deputy) abducts Hugh, imprisons him in Dublin Castle as a hostage for the Clan's good behavior. Hugh must then escape before he is sent to a certain death at the Tower of London and rally the Irish clans to send a message of rebellion to the Queen.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film got a Comic-Book Adaptation by Gold Key Comics in 1967, Walt Disney Presents: The Fighting Prince of Donegal.

As mentioned above with Age Lift, the real Hugh Roe O'Donnell was 15 in 1587, and likely didn't look like a 25/26 year old.

Anachronism Stew: As mentioned above with Age Lift, the real Hugh Roe O'Donnell was 15 in 1587, and likely didn't look like a 25/26 year old. Everyone sings "O'Donnell Abú" at the end (the melody of which is used as Hugh's leitmotif in the movie). That song was composed and written about 256 years laters, in 1843.

The Alcatraz: Hugh's second prison is more of a dungeon, and living conditions there are worse than in his first cell and there is no shaft/window this time around. He has to bribe Martin, a half-Irish prison attendant, to help him and his comrades to escape through an underwater way leading to the castle moat.
