  • The Armstrong Papers P6-Part1
    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.

  • Core Map Collection 2: Hibernia Regnum
    Core Map Collection 2: Hibernia Regnum About the Collection: The Hibernia Regnum Map Collection contains 289 facsimiles of the Down Survey of the Baronies of Ireland, 1655- 1659. All of the baronies of Ireland with the exceptions of Galway, Roscommon, and Mayo were mapped– although one Baroney in Mayo, The Barony of Tirrawly, (4.3.1 below), was surveyed. These maps were lost in transit from Dublin to London, as the vessel carrying them was captured by a French privateer in 1707. The maps eventually ended up in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. It was only in 1907 that the French government permitted the Ordnance Survey Office in Southampton to create facsimiles of the collection. This work was completed in 1908. The collection comprises two sets: Ulster and Munster; and Leinster and Connaught. Queen’s Special Collections holds 141 maps of the Ulster and Munster Provinces. Of these, there are 105 individual maps and 36 duplicates. The collection also houses 148 maps of the Leinster and Connaught Provinces. Of these, there are 109 individual maps and 39 duplicates. The maps were recorded using a scale of perches to an inch.1 There are two exceptions: The Barony of Gowran in the Count of Kilkenny (3.11.5 below); and The Barony of Sheelelogher the County of Kilkenny (3.11.6 below)– for which no scale is given. The maps have been measured in centimetres (height x width) using the neatline. Please use these measurements only as a guideline; the neatline is frequently skewed, and the map content often protrudes beyond it.
