Born in 1780 in Wexford, Myles O,Byrne was a United Irishman and an officer in Napolean’s Legion.  After the defeat at Vinegar Hill, he went to the Wicklow Mountains where he stayed until the failure of the 1803 rebellion.  He then traveled to France seeking aid for Ireland and when failing to do so, joined the Irish Brigade of the French Army.
