Philip O'Sullivan Beare ((アイルランド語:Pilib Ó Súilleabháin Béirre, c. 1590); died in Spain, 1660) was an Irish soldier who became more famous as a writer. He was son of Dermot O'Sullivan and nephew of Donal O'Sullivan Beare, Prince of Beare. The O'Sullivans, headed by the O'Sullivan Beare, owned much of Valentia Island in south-western Ireland.〔Toby Barnard, ‘O'Sullivan Beare, Philip (b. c.1590, d. in or after 1634)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004〕 He was sent to Spain in 1602, and was educated at Compostela by Vendamma, a Spaniard, and John Synnott, an Irish Jesuit. He served in the Spanish army. In 1621 he published his ''Catholic History of Ireland'', a work not always reliable, but valuable for the Irish wars of the author's own day. He also wrote a ''Life of St. Patrick'', a confutation of Gerald of Wales and a reply to James Usher's attack on his ''History''. ==Works== * O'Sullivan Beare, Philip, ''(Historiae Catholicae Iberniae )''.
