Their landholdings included lands in Counties Kerry, Limerick, Waterford, Cork and Tipperary, as well as the liberty of Kerry. This substantial lordship crossed cultural borders to include Gaelic regions as well as Anglo-Irish controlled areas and the Desmond Geraldines were able to exert influence and, in some cases, overlordship over the semi-autonomous Irish kingdoms beyond their borders. The earls of Desmond seem to have been particularly adept at operating in both English and Irish spheres of influence, making them crucial to the stability of southwest Ireland. The substantial ambition and drive which had led the Desmond Geraldines to carve out this lordship did not end with the creation of the earldom of Desmond: the earls continued to attempt to bring more lands and men under their control. Their ambition brought them into conflict not just with the gentry and absentee landholders whom they were attempting to dominate but also with other powers who were trying to expand into the same areas. These conflicts, in turn, brought the earls of Desmond into conflict with the crown government and the king of England, at times jeopardising their position within the lordship. However, they also gained a substantial affinity drawn from the region; both drawn from their own lands and recruited fi-om bordering lands. This thesis explores these ambitions and relationships. It looks at the complex, sometimes violent, relationships between the earls of Desmond and local gentry, neighbouring magnates, absentee landholders, the royal government and the English crown as well as with the Irish. If^also explores the extent of the Desmond lordship and the methods used to expand it as well as their administration and exploitation of that lordship.

  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

  • Intermarriage and Other Families This Page Shows the Interconnection
    Intermarriage and Other Families This page shows the interconnection between the Townsend/Townshend family and some of the thirty-five families with whom there were several marriages between 1700 and 1900. It also gives a brief historical background about those families. Names shown in italics indicate that the family shown is connected with the Townsend/Townshend elsewhere. Baldwin The Baldwin family in Co Cork traces its origins to William Baldwin who was a ranger in the royal forests in Shropshire. He married Elinor, daughter of Sir Edward Herbert of Powys and went to Ireland in the late 16th century. His two sons settled in the Bandon area; the eldest brother, Walter, acquired land at Curravordy (Mount Pleasant) and Garrancoonig (Mossgrove) and the youngest, Thomas, purchased land at Lisnagat (Lissarda) adjacent to Curravordy. Walter’s son, also called Walter, was a Cromwellian soldier and it is through his son Herbert that the Baldwin family in Co Cork derives.

The database illustrates how the representation of Jews intersects with all the main genres of Irish literature, telling us much about the notion of identity – both Irish and Jewish – and how in fact, a complete psychohistory of Irishness and Jewishness is hidden in these neglected representations. Divided into four distinct sections, this database has been archived in chronological order ranging from the earliest texts documented between 1590- 1800, the dynamic societal and literary advances made between 1801-1900, texts written in the twentieth century from 1901-2000 and finishing with literature produced in and about Ireland between 2001 to the present day. This mapping of literature was culled from the bibliographies of articles generated by electronic journals and hand searches. This review process yielded 603 publications. This document is available for download from the Ulster University website at: http://www.arts.ulster.ac.uk/jewishrepresentations/ This database has been created in association with Ulster University, the Arts & Humanities Research Council, the Irish-Jewish Museum, NUI Galway, Armagh Public Library, PRONI and the Royal Irish Academy. 5 6 Years: 1590 – 1800 Spenser, Edmund.

Irish responses to Fascist Italy, 1919–1932 by Mark Phelan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh Department of History School of Humanities National University of Ireland, Galway December 2012 ABSTRACT This project assesses the impact of the first fascist power, its ethos and propaganda, on key constituencies of opinion in the Irish Free State. Accordingly, it explores the attitudes, views and concerns expressed by members of religious organisations; prominent journalists and academics; government officials/supporters and other members of the political class in Ireland, including republican and labour activists. By contextualising the Irish response to Fascist Italy within the wider patterns of cultural, political and ecclesiastical life in the Free State, the project provides original insights into the configuration of ideology and social forces in post-independence Ireland. Structurally, the thesis begins with a two-chapter account of conflicting confessional responses to Italian Fascism, followed by an analysis of diplomatic intercourse between Ireland and Italy. Next, the thesis examines some controversial policies pursued by Cumann na nGaedheal, and assesses their links to similar Fascist initiatives. The penultimate chapter focuses upon the remarkably ambiguous attitude to Mussolini’s Italy demonstrated by early Fianna Fáil, whilst the final section recounts the intensely hostile response of the Irish labour movement, both to the Italian regime, and indeed to Mussolini’s Irish apologists.

  • The O'mahonys
    The O’Mahonys A multi-disciplinary approach to a genetic surname study Cai Maver, [email protected], 2017 May 30 Abstract The O’Mahonys are an Irish family who claim descent from Mahon, son of Cian, who lived in the 11th century AD and became chief of the Eóganacht Raithlind tribe of south Munster. The O’Mahony family is conspicuous in the historical record, with many named septs associated with specific lands in counties Cork and Kerry. This paper examines the genetic and geographic data of participants in the O’Mahony Surname Project to determine if any of the genetically distinct families bearing the surname can be connected to any particular person, sept, or lineage in the historical record. In doing so, this paper attempts to suggest which haplogroup the progenitor of the clan, Mahon, might have belonged to. Background The Historical Record The O’Mahonys are reputedly descendants of Corc, King of Munster, who lived in the fifth century AD (O’Hart, 1892; O’Mahony, 1913). Aside from the O’Mahonys, Corc is said to be the ancestor of all of the Eoghanacht clans who would become families such as the O’Sullivans, the MacCarthys, the O’Donoghues and the Stuarts of Scotland. However, we can’t assume that an ancestor’s surname indicates direct, patrilineal descent from a single common ancestor – in this early age, families might adopt the name of a famous ancestor regardless of whether that ancestor was on the mother’s or father’s side (O’Mahony, 1913). In examining the O’Mahonys, or any surname group, it is necessary to limit the investigation to the time period when surnames were passed down in a patrilineal manner.
