With origins deeply rooted in the ancient soil of Ireland, branches of
the O’Briens nevertheless often found themselves on opposing sides in
the bitter and bloody wars that periodically wreaked havoc on their
homeland.
But what they had in common was a proud descent from one of
Ireland’s greatest warrior kings. In contemporary times and in
literature, Edna O’Brien, considered to be one of Ireland’s greatest
living writers, is the novelist and short story writer whose many
literary awards include the 1990 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for
Lantern Slides, while her first book was The Country Girls, the first of
a trilogy.
In sport, Vincent O’Brien is the retired Irish racehorse
trainer of six Epsom Derby winners who was once voted ‘the greatest
influence in horse racing history’, while Aidan O’Brien is the Irish
trainer who as a jockey was Ireland’s amateur champion for the 1993-94
season.
The dramatic tale of the O’Briens is chronicled here.
