In addition to founding the Classical School of Belfast, the Earl was a benefactor of Trinity College, Dublin, as appears in The Dublin University Calendar, Vol. III, being a Special Supplemental Volume for the Year 1912-1913 :-- The Earl showed some anxiety about the match, and in a letter of 3rd March, 1675, two weeks before his death, he remarks on the want of real affection to Lord John; refers to his loose living and "many misses"; speaks of his daughter as "Our All" who will have a considerable fortune.

Since Arthur’s only son had died in infancy, his lands passed to his brother Edward whose son Arthur, who would be named the first Earl of Donegall, carried on much of the development of the town. Thus the Donegall dynasty was born and they remain inextricably linked to Belfast, with the chained Irish wolfhound on the Belfast coat of arms being from the Chichester family’s own coat of arms. Many of the subsequent Earls and Marquesses of Donegall were also called Arthur in honour of the founder and the influence of the Donegalls only petered out in the latter part of the 19 th century when much of the Belfast land was sold off to pay gambling debts.

Sir Cahir O’Doherty’s short-lived rebellion in 1608 took almost everyone by surprise. He had shown himself to be a very willing collaborator with the English Crown in the decisive phase of the Nine Years’ War (1594–1603) and afterwards. Yet O’Doherty was driven to conclude that his earnest efforts to integrate himself into the Stuart dominions were futile. The experiences of this loyalist-turned-rebel were symptomatic of the tremendous difficulties encountered by Irish Catholic lords in trying to reach an accommodation with the Crown and its officials in the early seventeenth century.Arthur was the architect of the military policy in Ulster during the O’Neill Rebellion known as the Nine Years war between 1594 and 1603. As such he was responsible for a scorched earth policy that helped end the war in typically brutal fashion, potentially earning him a reputation worse than Cromwell.

Chichester was born in Westminster, London, [ citation needed] the eldest son of Lord Spencer Chichester, third son of Arthur Chichester, 1st Marquess of Donegall. His mother was Lady Anne Harriet Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, 7th Earl of Galloway. [1] He was educated in England, matriculating at Brasenose College, Oxford in 1815, and entered the British Army, serving with the 2nd Life Guards and eventually attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel in 1827. [ citation needed] He presided over the Ulster Plantation and following the Flight of the Earls in 1607 he confiscated their lands and divvied them up between the Scottish and English settlers. Despite this he did not advocate the wholesale removal of the Gaelic Irish from the planted lands and they continued to live cheek by jowl with the planters until this very day. Let’s just say, that’s complicated.
