Bio:
Riordan O’Neill is the a son of an Irish minor nobleman and a well-born Frenchwoman.
Exiled from Paris following a duel, O’Neill was seconded to the Chevau-légers de Challons, where he served as cornet (subaltern) during the campaign against the Genoese and Spanish in Savoy, during which he was decorated by the duke of Savoy.
On his return to Paris in 1626, O’Neill was promoted to ensign of the King’s Musketeers and named a fencing master to the company.
