Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

  • July at the Museum!
    July at the Museum! Battle of Aughrim, John Mulvaney. The Battle of the Boyne, July 1st 1690. On 1 July 1690, the Battle of the Boyne was fought between King James II's Jacobite army, and the Williamite Army under William of Orange. Despite only being a minor military victory in favour of the Williamites, it has a major symbolic significance. The Battle's annual commemorations by The Orange Order, a masonic-style fraternity dedicated to the protection of the Protestant Ascendancy, remain a topic of great controversy. This is especially true in areas of Northern Ireland where sectarian tensions remain rife. No year in Irish history is better known than 1690. No Irish battle is more famous than William III's victory over James II at the River Boyne, a few miles west of Drogheda. James, a Roman Catholic, had lost the throne of England in the bloodless "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. William was Prince of Orange, a Dutch-speaking Protestant married to James's daughter Mary, and became king at the request of parliament. James sought refuge with his old ally, Louis XIV of France, who saw an opportunity to strike at William through Ireland. He provided French officers and arms for James, who landed at Kinsale in March 1689. The lord deputy, the Earl of Tyrconnell was a Catholic loyal to James, and his Irish army controlled most of the island. James quickly summoned a parliament, largely Catholic, which proceeded to repeal the legislation under which Protestant settlers had acquired land. During the rule of Tyrconnell, the first Catholic viceroy since the Reformation, Protestants had seen their influence eroded in the army, in the courts and in civil government.

  • 'Glorious Revolution'?
    History - Lesson 3 of 4 Ireland and Scotland Enquiry: How revolutionary was the ‘Glorious Revolution’? Mr Olivey 1 Mr Arscott A ‘Glorious Revolution’? The idea that the events of 1688-89 were a ‘Glorious Revolution’ relied on looking at the past from an English Protestant perspective. From this standpoint, William had saved England from a Catholic tyrant in James II. Moreover, very few people in England died during James’ invasion. Yet, when one looks beyond England and considers events that took place in Ireland and Scotland from 1689-92, William’s rise to power does not look ‘peaceful’ or ‘bloodless’. Conflict with Jacobites (people who still supported James II) led to warfare, violence and death. 2 War in Ireland A war between William III and James II began in Ireland in 1689. James II’s forces laid siege to the City of Derry in April 1689. By the time the siege ended in August, 4,000 of the city’s population of 8,000 had died. James fled to France after the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. James’ remaining Jacobite forces were defeated at the Battle of Aughrim in 1691. The peace Treaty of Limerick (1691) promised that Irish Catholics who swore an Oath of Loyalty to William would be allowed to keep their land. Despite this, 1,000,000 acres of land was taken from Irish Catholics in the following years. 3 Massacre in Scotland In Scotland, there were pockets of support for James II after 1689. William feared that these Jacobites would rebel against him. In response to this, William asked all the Chieftains of the Scottish Clans to swear an Oath of Loyalty to him by 31 of December 1691.

  • Archaeological Discoveries on a Road Scheme in East Galway Jerry O’Sullivan
    8.The quiet landscape: archaeological discoveries on a road scheme in east Galway Jerry O’Sullivan The quiet landscape This paper is about the archaeological investigations on the N6 Galway to East Ballinasloe PPP scheme. At about the time these investigations commenced I was in conversation with Dr Stefan Berg, a lecturer in archaeology at NUI Galway, exchanging news of our work. Stefan was engaged in fieldwork in the mountain and maritime parts of Mayo and Sligo. He described these as ‘loud landscapes that speak with a very strong voice’ about the ways in which soils and rivers, mountains and coast, have influenced human communities in the past. Then he remarked, as an afterthought, that ‘east Galway, where you are working now, is a very quiet landscape that only speaks with a whisper about its past’. At the time I readily agreed. West of Lough Corrib, Galway also has a loud and very beautiful landscape. Unsurprisingly, the popular image of the county is a postcard view of Connemara’s mountains and beaches. In contrast, east of the Corrib, in the interior, Galway is low-lying and often poorly drained, and has more in common with Ireland’s midlands than with the Atlantic coast (Illus. 1). Throughout east Galway glacial deposits have created a mosaic of low rounded hills and knolls that are moderately well drained and suitable for pasture and tillage. These are interspersed with very frequent pockets of poorly drained ground forming peat bogs and, in some locations, extensive raised bogs. Underlying the soils is limestone bedrock, fissured and soluble, so that the watercourses of east Galway are not the fat brown rivers found in the south and east of Ireland but meagre, narrow rivers that can never accumulate much water—because so much of it is lost to underground limestone aquifers.

  • The Use of Heraldry in Genealogical Research John P
    The Use of Heraldry in Genealogical Research John P. DuLong 11 October 2018 Topics • What is heraldry? • How heraldry can help solve genealogical problems. • Misuse of heraldry and “folk heraldry.” • Examples of heraldry evidence from my own research in Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Italy, and Belgium. • If time permits, then I will address registering arms and grants of arms. What is Heraldry? • Heraldry has come to mean the system of arms involving the use of particular devices centered on a shield that has become hereditary symbols passed down through a family, normally through the eldest son. • In some countries it is tied to social stratification and is a mark of nobility, in other countries heraldry is also used by non-nobles. • Although there are some general rules of heraldry that apply everywhere, some heraldry practices do vary from country to country. • In America, where many of our founding fathers used armorial bearings, it is more equalitarian and does not imply nobility. • For genealogists, heraldry is a tool that can be used to solve genealogical problems and to provide background for our research. General Rules of Heraldry • We will not be reviewing the rules of heraldry in detail here or the technical terms involved in heraldry. • See the handout for some of the technical terms and for a bibliography of works regarding heraldry. • There is one rule that I would like to very clear: It is bad form, and in some countries illegal, to use the arms of others without a right to them though inheritance. Use of Heraldry in Genealogy • Heraldry is not just something of esthetic interest, but of practical value when doing genealogy on bourgeois, gentry, and noble ancestors in Europe.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
