Trant in February 1952. It comprises of the estate and family papers of the Trant family of Dovea, county Tipperary. The family were originally from Dingle in county Kerry, but settled later at Dovea, county Tipperary and this is reflected in the papers. According to The Great Landowners of Great Britain and Ireland (1883, reprinted, 1971) the Trant estate in county Tipperary amounted to almost 3,000 acres and was valued at just over £2,100. The Library has received a number of Trant accessions, which are listed in Manuscript Sources for the History of Irish Civilisation, vol. 4, ed. Richard J. Hayes (1965), pp. 667-668. I.

    The Armstrong Papers P6 Part I Armstrong of Moyaliffe Castle, County Tipperary University of Limerick Library and Information Services University of Limerick Special Collections The Armstrong Papers Reference Code: IE 2135 P6 Title: The Armstrong Papers Dates of Creation: 1662-1999 Level of Description: Sub-Fonds Extent and Medium: 133 boxes, 2 outsize items (2554 files) CONTEXT Name of Creator(s): The Armstrong family of Moyaliffe Castle, county Tipperary, and the related families of Maude of Lenaghan, county Fermanagh; Everard of Ratcliffe Hall, Leicestershire; Kemmis of Ballinacor, county Wicklow; Russell of Broadmead Manor, Kent; and others. Biographical History: The Armstrongs were a Scottish border clan, prominent in the service of both Scottish and English kings. Numerous and feared, the clan is said to have derived its name from a warrior who during the Battle of the Standard in 1138 lifted a fallen king onto his own horse with one arm after the king’s horse had been killed under him. In the turbulent years of the seventeenth century, many Armstrongs headed to Ireland to fight for the Royalist cause. Among them was Captain William Armstrong (c. 1630- 1695), whose father, Sir Thomas Armstrong, had been a supporter of Charles I throughout the Civil War and the Commonwealth rule, and had twice faced imprisonment in the Tower of London for his support for Charles II. When Charles II was restored to power, he favoured Captain William Armstrong with a lease of Farneybridge, county Tipperary, in 1660, and a grant of Bohercarron and other lands in county Limerick in 1666. In 1669, William was appointed Commissioner for Payroll Tax, and over the next ten years added to his holdings in the area, including the former lands of Holy Cross Abbey and the lands of Ballycahill.

    Resisting National Sentiment: Friction Between Irish and English Jesuits in the Old Society

    journal of jesuit studies 6 (2019) 598-626 brill.com/jjs Resisting National Sentiment: Friction between Irish and English Jesuits in the Old Society Thomas M. McCoog, S.J. Loyola University Maryland [email protected] Abstract Pedro de Ribadeneyra, first official biographer of Ignatius of Loyola, showered praise upon him and his companions for abandoning immoderate sentiment “for particular lands or places” in their quest for “the glory of God and the salvation of their neigh- bors.” Superior General Goswin Nickel praised a Society conceived in Spain, born in France, approved in Italy, and propagated in Germany and elsewhere. Out of diversity Ignatius had forged unity. Ribadeneyra prayed that nothing would ever threaten this union. His prayers were not heard: the Society’s internal unity was often endangered by national sentiment despite congregational attempts to curtail and eliminate it. This article does not purport to be an exhaustive study of localism versus international- ism—although such a study is needed—but an investigation of relations between Irish and English Jesuits principally in the seventeenth century. Individual Jesuits did in fact cooperate, but there were limits. A proposal in 1652 that the independent Irish mission become part of the English mission was that limit. Keywords Irish Jesuits – English Jesuits – John Young – national sentiment – Muzio Vitelleschi – Gian Paolo Oliva – general congregations 1 Introduction: the Internationalism of the Society of Jesus In the spring of 1539, Ignatius of Loyola (c.1491–1556; in office, 1541–56) and his companions deliberated their future. Should they attempt to retain some union, a corporate identity, despite their being sent in different directions on © Thomas M.

    LORD MONTEAGLE Papers, 1831-57 Reel M976

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT LORD MONTEAGLE Papers, 1831-57 Reel M976 National Library of Ireland Kildare Street Dublin 2 Ireland National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1976 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Thomas Spring Rice (1790-1866), 1st Baron Monteagle (created 1839), was born in Limerick, Ireland, the son of Stephen Rice of Mount Trenchard and his wife Catherine Spring. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and later studied law at Lincoln’s Inn. In 1820 he was elected to the House of Commons, where he was closely associated with the Whigs who were led by Lord Lansdowne. In 1827-28 he was Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Home Office in the ministry led by George Canning. When the Whigs returned to power in 1830, Spring Rice was appointed Secretary to the Treasury. In 1834-35 he was briefly Secretary of State for the Colonies. He then became Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord Melbourne’s second ministry. In this position he was widely regarded as a failure. He resigned in 1839, was raised to the peerage, but did not hold public office again. In 181 Spring Rice married Lady Theodosia Pery, the daughter of the 1st Earl of Limerick, and they had eight children. She died in 1839 and in 1841 he married Mary Anne Marshall, the daughter of a Yorkshire industrialist. Her fortune enabled him to survive the considerable loss of income he incurred during the great Irish famine of the 1840s. Monteagle devoted a great deal of time and energy to seeking to reduce the suffering of the Irish people in this period.

The objective of the study was to complete a thorough assessment of the character, value and sensitivity of North Tipperary’s landscape in order to provide the basis for policy formulation and informed decision-making regarding landscape management in the County. North Tipperary (shown in Figure 1) contains a variety of landscapes. The extensive upland areas of the County rise dramatically above the fertile limestone plains. These upland zones support a variety of habitats and land uses ranging from blanket bog to coniferous forestry. The geological faults around the Silvermines led to the deposition of metallic deposits that were to be exploited by humans 400 million year later. The low lying pastoral plains provide important communication corridors between the upland zones and the less accessible raised bogs areas in the north and eastern extremities of the county. To the west, Lough Derg and the River Shannon provide further landscape variety within the County and are important recreational, tourism and ecological resources for North Tipperary. As a landlocked county, North Tipperary is bounded by a number of counties with landscape features providing many natural boundaries. For example, the River Shannon and Lough Derg, define the boundary between the counties of Clare, Galway and Offaly. Extensive raised bog defines the eastern boundary with Counties Laois and Kilkenny. The valley between the Silvermines and Slieve Felim mountains offers a further natural boundary with Counties Limerick and South Tipperary.

    Tipperary News Part 7

    Irish Superstitions. The unfortunate and deluded peasantry of the neighbourhood of Tipperary have been excited not a little within the last week by the humbugging story, got up evidently for a similar purpose to the "Wild Fire" or the "Blessed Turf" of the last year, and which has the effect of collecting thousands together almost at a moments warning, who can be then be led on to any act of desperation their leaders may direct. A man named Keating, from near Newcastle, was taken ill, died, and was buried some short time ago. But a few nights since he appeared to his Father and brother and told them he had only been taken by the fairies, and that if they were resolute, and would bring plenty of whisky, and some of their neighbours, and each have a black hafted knife, he would be passing the crossroad at Glendalough, at 12 O'Clock precisely, on St. John's Eve: that they would first see a little man on a fine gray horse, whom they were to let to pass, as well as any others, until they perceived him: he would be mounted on a black horse, they were to get between him and the rest, cut off the right ear of the horse, then he would be at once out of the fairies power, and be let home again to them. Numbers in this town and neighbourhood either believed it or pretended to believe it, and went off to the meeting, where, we are informed, upwards of 1200 people assembled. As may be supposed, no little man or gray horse appeared, and all returned again, but what passed there, and why they were called thus together, is as of yet a secret.
