Who were the Ui Neill?
the Ui Neill were hereditary chiefs of tyrone in ulster. they accepted the title Earl of Tyrone from the tudors and later went into exile with most of the other chieftains in 1605 after defeat in the 9 year war against elizabeth 1. That's incorrect. The O'NEILL accecpted the Earldom. The ancestors of the O'Neill family were called the Ui Neill, but this was not a surname, just a dynastic term. The O'Neills take their surname from an ancestor called Niall Glundubh (as far as I recall) who lived and died in the 10th century. It was his grandson or great-grandsons who first used the surname O'Neill. The term Ui Neill describes the descendants of Niall Niogaillach mac Eochagh Mughmeadon (died about 450), but, as I said, was simply a descriptive term used to denote them as descendants of Niall; surnames would not be used in Ireland until hundreds of years later.
Does a marquess inherit the title duke when his father the duke dies?
Only if his father was a duke. There are two types of marquess: 1) A marquess by right. Marquess is the family's senior title, held by the head of the family, e.g. the Marquess of Bath, owner of Longleat. 2) A marquess by courtesy. The eldest son of any peer above the rank of baron takes his father's second most senior title as a courtesy title. A courtesy title has never conferred the right to sit in the House of Lords, and the holder is not a peer of the realm. Usually, but not always, a duke also holds a marquessate, which can be used by his eldest son e.g.. the Duke of Bedford's eldest son is the Marquess of Tavistock. He will become the duke on his father's death. Where a duke does not hold a marquessate, his eldest son will not be a marquess, e.g. the Duke of Norfolk's eldest son is the Earl of Arundel, because the earldom of Arundel is the second most senior title held by the family.
What is the history of the Boland family?
The O'Beolairts (O Beollain) or Gillanders (Giolla Aindreas) of the Cineal Eoghain were co-arbs (hereditary abbots) of St. Maelrubha at Applecross in Ross-shire. They were a powerful princely family, and became earls of Ross in the early thirteenth century. Towards the end of the fourteenth century they inherited the chiefship of the Clann Aindreas, or Clann GiollaAindreas (Clan Gillanders), a native Pictish tribe related to the MacKenzies and Mathesons and among whom they had long been ecclesiastical and secular leaders. At about the same time they were artificially dispossessed of the Earldom of Ross by the King of Scots, and afterwards the family adopted as a surname what had for some time been the descriptive epithet of (de) Ross. They are also known by the patronymic of MacAndrew (Mac Gille Aindreas) from the clan name, while the original family name ofO Beollain survives as MacBeolain, following Scottish prefix usage. A branch of the O'Beolains became hereditary abbots (erenaghs) of the Columban church at Drumcliffe in Sligo, and were famous for their hospitality. Some of the MacAndrews settled in the Clan Chattan country, and sought the protection of the MacKintosh about 1400. The MacBeolains occupied Glenshiel and the south side of Loch Duich as far as Kylerhea. Fearcher MacTaggart (Mac an tSagairt-"the son of the priest") of Applecross was created Earl of Ross in 1234.

Why is hrh Prince Edward an earl of Essex and not a duke of Essex?
HRH Prince Edward is styled as the Earl of Wessex, not Essex, due to a title created for him by the Queen upon his marriage in 1999. The title of Duke is traditionally granted to royal family members, but Edward chose the earldom to reflect a more modern approach to royal titles. Moreover, the title of Duke of Essex does not currently exist, as it has been dormant since the 18th century. The choice of the earldom aligns with the tradition of granting lesser titles to younger sons of the monarch.
What were the earldoms called in medieval times?
