 Boyles in History
Boyle is O Baoighill in modern Irish, the derivation of which is possibly from the old Irish word Baigell – that is, "having profitable pledges." The O'Boyles were a strong sept in County Donegal, with a regularly initiated chieftain seated at Cloghineely: They shared with the O'Donnells and the O'Doughertys the leadership of the northwest.
This formed the nucleus of the vast estates he was to bequeath to his numerous family on his death in 1643, by which time he was Earl of Cork and had held high government office.
(Boyle's Law states that there is an inverse relationship between pressure and volume in a gas sample maintained at constant temperature.) The son of the Earl of Cork is considered one of the founders of modern scientific method and the father of modern chemistry.
