• Baron AbbeyLara
  Abbeylara (Irish Mainistir Leathratha) is a village in the easternmost portion of County Longford, Ireland, located about three kilometres east of Granard. Its name, Mainistir Leathratha, means "Abbey of the half rath or little rath", and is derived from a monastery, the great Abby of Lerha, founded in 1205 by the Anglo-Norman settler Richard Tuite, for Cistercian monks. The monastery was decommissioned in 1539, although its ruins are still apparent on approach to the village. An ancient earthenwork, the Duncla (Irish Dún-chlaí meaning "fortified ditch") or Black Pig's Dyke, which runs south-eastwards from Lough Gowna to Lough Kinale, goes through the larger parish of Abbeylara, and passes about one kilometre north of the village.

• Baron Skryne
  Srryne, also written Serine, and Screen, which imparts its name to a barony in this county, is now a place of little consideration, but was formerly the chief seat of the De Feipo family. Adam de Feipo, on whom Hugh de Lacy bestowed large possessions in this part of Meath, built a castle here, of which the ruins still remain. The family of Marward were palatinate barons of Skryne in the fifteenth century, and remained so until the time of Queen Elizabeth, in whose reign Jenet, the daughter and heir of the last baron, carried this estate, by marriage, to William Nugent, Esq. An abbey of regular canons had existed in this town from an early period, which sank to decay in the twelfth century, or was merged in a friary of Augustinian Eremites, founded by the De Feipo family ; some ruinous traces of which are still to be seen. A new church has been recently erected at this place, with the aid of ^500 given, and the same sum lent, by the Board of First Fruits. The country in this part of Meath abounds in natural charms, and is highly cultivated.

• Baronies of Longford
  County Longford [6 baronies] - see Leinster map All - The territory now called Longford anciently went by the names Teathba and Teffia. North Teffia was inhabited by the Glasraidhe, descendants of early inhabitants. By the 5th century Longford was divided into north and south. The northern territory became known as Cairbre Gabhra, after Cairbre a son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. Another son received the southern half. In the 8th century the Conmaicne (e.g. O'Farrells) invaded the Ui Cairbre and by the 11th century were the dominant people as the territory became known as Annaly, and was considered part of the province of Meath. It was controlled in the north by the O'Farrel Ban (White) and in the south by the O'Farrel Buy (Yellow). Longford was formed as a county (shire) in 1576. Ardagh - was formed from the territory of Sleughtwilliam (Mostrim parish), the territory of Clangillernan (Templemichael), and from part of the church lands in the parishes of Ardagh and Ballymacormick. Granard - Anciently this was part of a territory known as Cairpre Gabra, alias Corpre Tethbae, or North Teffia. The barony was formed from the territory of Clanshane (Granard, Abbeylara, and part of Colmcille parishes), and from the territory of Slewcarberie (Clonbroney and part of Colmcille parishes). Muintir Geradhain was located on the west side of Lough Gowna, where Ó Geradhain (Gaynor or MacGinver) is mentioned as lord here in the 11th century. Longford - was formed from the territory of Moytra (Clongesh and part of Templemichael parishes), and the territory of Clan Hugh (in Killoe parish). Anciently it was part of a territory known as Cairpre Gabra, and later Muinter Anghaile (Annaly). Moydow - (Magh Dumha) Anciently it was part of a territory known as Tethba. The barony was formed from the territories of Clanawlye (Ardagh & Moydow), and parts of the territories of Moybrawne (Taghshinny parish), Clanconnor (part Kilcommock, part Cashel parishes), and Muintergalgan. Rathcline - was formed from the territories of The Callow (left bank of Shannon, Lanesboro to Ballymahon) and the territory of Clanconnor (part Kilcommoc, part Cashel). Callow is derived from the gaelic 'Caladh na hAnghaile', a former name for the barony, located between Muinter Gillagan and the river Shannon. O Fergail (O'Farrell) is noted as chief here. O'Faughny is also noted as chief of the Callow (Callo) into the 16th century. Shrule or Abbeyshrule - was formed from parts of the territories of Moybrawne (Shrule), Clanconnor and Muintergalgan. Moybrawne was anciently part of a territory known as Bregmaine, or Mag Bregmaine, in Cenél Maine. Misc - The O'Cuinn (O'Quinn) was a principal chief of Teffia and later held a small territory in Annaly centered at Rathcline.

  CASTLE CORNET THE CHATEAU DES CORNEILLES Seigneur Fief of Blondel George Mentz Lord Baron of Fiefdom Blondel Freiherr of Fief Thomas Blondel Feudal Lord of Baronnie - Noble Fief Crown Dependency Baron Freiherr GUERNESIAISE Duke Normandy Foreshore Seasted Rights The fortifications of this castle are almost eight centuries old. When King John Lackland lost Normandy to France in 1204, Guernsey chose to remain loyal to the English king. The island was immediately threatened by the French and the islanders decided to build Castle Cornet to protect themselves. Construction began in 1206 and lasted nearly 20 years. During the Hundred Years War, French and English fought hard and he passed several times hand in hand, after fierce battles.

Blondel, Normannische Kanalinseln edles Lehen Noble Title For sale Become a Lord or Lady Become a Baron Jarl Knight or Seigneur Dame Barony For Sale Scottish Norman Viking Title Royalty Thomas Blondel Thomas Blondelle Thomas Blondell Guernsey Military techniques progressing, the castle was constantly reinforced and modified. During the civil war in England, the governor of Guernsey, Peter Osborne, retreated there and defied the rest of the island that had sided with Cromwell. The castle had to undergo a seat of nearly 9 years, during which he received the very valuable support of Jersey, remained loyal to his sovereign. More than 100,000 cannon balls were fired against the castle. At the restoration of royalty, it was the jail of Sir John Lambert, former general of Cromwell, which was feared to resume the succession. But Lambert was again peaceful, and he occupied his captivity to lovingly arrange the gardens of the castle, which can be visited today. In 1672 a tragic accident occurred. During a violent storm, lightning fell on the ammunition depot, which exploded. The blast made the dungeon collapse, taking with it the house where Lady Hatton, the wife of the governor, who died buried, was. During the Napoleonic era, for fear of a new French attack, Castle Cornet was modernized and armed with formidable guns, which never served. Castle of Guernsey ( Castle Cornet) When hostilities between English and French ended, the castle served as an arsenal, prison and barracks. Its military function was abandoned until 1940, year of the invasion of the island by the Germans. These concreted some parts of the castle in order to integrate it into their device of defense, the wall of the Atlantic. POLICY The States of Guernsey, formally named the States of Deliberation, consist of 59 members, of which 45 are deputies, elected by districts to one or more members every 4 years, and 10 are parish twelfths representing the parochial authorities. There are 2 representatives of Alderney and Sark, who are self-governing dependencies of the bailiwick. There are also 2 non-voting members - the Attorney General and the Attorney General, both appointed by the Monarch. The laws voted by the states are called 'ordinances'. Since 2004 there is a system of ministerial government. The legal system is derived from the Norman and English laws, the justice being administered by the Royal Court.

Inchmore is situated in the parish of Bunown within the Barony of Kilkenny West in County Longford - Westmeath.

  Uí Maine, often Anglicised as Hy Many, was one of the oldest and largest kingdoms located in Connacht, Ireland. Its territory of approximately 1,000 square miles (2,600 km2) encompassed all of what is now north, east and south County Galway, south and central County Roscommon, an area near County Clare, and at one stage had apparently subjugated land on the east bank of the Shannon, together with the parish of Lusmagh in Offaly. There were two different Ui Maine, the Ui Maine of Tethbae and the Uí Maine of Connacht; these tribes were separated by the Shannon River. The people of the kingdom were descendants of Máine Mór, who won the territory by warfare. Its sub-kingdoms, also known as lordships, included – among others – Tír Soghain, Corco Mogha, Delbhna Nuadat, Síol Anmchadha, and Máenmaige. These kingdoms were made up of offshoots of the Uí Maine dynasty, or subject peoples of different races.

• Law of Ireland
  In the December 1918 election, the republican party Sinn Féin won a landslide victory in Ireland. On 21 January 1919 they formed a breakaway government (Dáil Éireann) and declared independence from Britain. The Free State came to an end with the coming into force of the new constitution on 29 December 1937, which with the Republic of Ireland Act 1948 officially became the Republic of Ireland. The '800 years' of English rule in Ireland nominally began in 1169, when an army of English barons (actually Cambro-Norman, being a mix of Welsh and Norman nobles) landed in Wexford and quickly captured the two Hiberno-Viking ports of Wexford and Waterford. The history of Ireland 800–1169 covers the period in the history of Ireland from the first Viking raids to the Norman invasion. ... Viking ports were established at Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Cork and Limerick, which became the first large towns in Ireland. History of Ireland (1801–1923) Ireland was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1801 to 1922. For almost all of this period, the island was governed by the UK Parliament in London through its Dublin Castle administration in Ireland. As a republic, the Irish Constitution precludes the state from conferring titles of nobility, and prevents citizens from accepting titles of nobility or honour – except with the prior approval of the government.[1] While some representatives of clans and familities had obtained "courtesy recognition" as Chiefs of the Name from the Chief Herald of Ireland, this practice was discontinued by 2003 – with the Attorney General noting that such recognitions were unconstitutional and without basis in law.[2][3][4] Certain titles are however sometimes used by some people in the Republic of Ireland,[citation needed] and titles are still used and awarded in Northern Ireland – which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The act abolishing feudal tenure in England was passed in 1660, and two years later an almost identical act was passed in Ireland. ... This act in effect abolished feudalism in Ireland, aside from some largely theoretical residues (see the full text of the Tenures Abolition Act 1662, courtesy of Derek Howard). Following a report by the Law Reform Commission, the system of feudal tenure as such, in so far as it had survived, was abolished by the Oireachtas in the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act (no. 27 of 2009); fee tail was also abolished [1]. However, estates and interests in land, including incorporeal hereditaments, continue. Formerly registered or proven feudal titles with a solid root of title, and the submerged feudal titles of surviving Irish or British peers are not affected, and continue to exist as personal rights, now held in gross. However, the obsolete or unregistered feudal titles, and those that lapsed into desuetude after 1662, when the Irish Parliament passed the Abolition of Tenures Act, no longer exist as incorporeal hereditaments, nor as personal rights, and cannot be revived. “LAND AND CONVEYANCING LAW REFORM ACT 2009” was intended to try and abololish feudal titles but nobody is sure if the law was written correctly. Section 9, subsection (4) states: “A fee simple remains freely alienable”. Fee Simple ownership does NOT mean that you own your property. It does mean that you have “an interest” in the property The Irish Law does not abolish any Customary Right or franchise jurisdictions. Scholars say that Baronies are baronies are franchise jurisdictions. Heritable Jurisdictions. The basic heritable jurisdiction was the barony, which was universal. Towns could be burghs of barony under a feudal superior. Though there was an appeal from the barony to the royal sheriff court, this was not true of baronies in the regalities. These units, some as small as a town, some like Argyll 500 square miles in extent, were autonomous jurisdictions with their own supreme courts. High treason alone justified royal intervention. heritable jurisdictions The Oxford Companion to British History © The Oxford Companion to British History 2002, originally published by Oxford University Press 2002.

  The Conmhaicne or Conmaicne were an ancient tribal grouping that were divided into a number of distinct branches that were found scattered around Ireland in the early medieval period. They settled in Connacht, where they gave their name to several territories. Their name came from a mythical ancestor known as Conmac. Conmac was in turn said to be descended from Fergus mac Roich and Queen Maeve of Connacht. The word Conmacne means "progeny of Conmac" (ne, a progeny). Conmac itself means "hound-son" (con, hound; mac, son). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conmhaícne Conmaicne Maigh Rein, or Conmaicne Rein na bFomorach, County Longford and south County Leitrim

• Lord of St. Brigit's Longford Abbey Est. 1578
  LONGFORD ABBEY. Founded under the title of St. Brigit, probably by Cornelius O'Farrell, O.P., bishop of Ardagh, 1418-24, who died in the latter year and was buried in the Dominican abbey. 1429 March 15 Martin V. granted an indulgence to all the faithful who should contribute to the restoration of the church which had been destroyed by fire. Hib. Dom., p. 301. 1433. Mar. II. Eugenius IV. renewed the indulgence and in the brief mentions that the fire was caused by wars which had been going on in those parts, especially during the previous six years. The brief also states that the abbey was consumed as well as the church, and that the friars had been obliged to move elsewhere. Idem. This indulgence was renewed by the same pope five years afterwards. 1448. There was in this year an infectious disease of which great numbers died, amongst whom were Connor, the son of Aedhbuy O'Feargail, Diarmud M'Commay and Henry Duffe M'Fechedan, three righteous friars of the monastery of Longford O'Feargail. Annals Dud. Firbis. 1557. (4th & 5th Philip and Mary). This abbey, situated in Le Annaly, was granted for ever, in capite, to Richard Nugent: royalties excepted. 1578. (20th Eliz.) This abbey, containing half an acre, with a house, a cottage, twenty-eight acres of land and six acres of the demesne land, with commonage to the same, was granted to Sir Nicholas Malbye, knt., and his heirs, at the annual rent of sixteen shillings. 1615. Jan. 29. Jas. I. granted the abbey to Francis Viscount Valentia. In 1756, there were three fathers attached to the community and two in 1767. According to Dr. Troy's report in 18oo, there were probably four fathers doing parochial work for the secular clergy at that date. The obits contain the names of Father J. Weever, who died about 1797, and Father Bernard Keenan, who died before 1818. The abbey church has been in use for two centuries as the Protestant parish church.

• Lords Paramount Ireland
  "Lord Paramount" was a title used in the feudal system of medieval Europe, particularly in England, to describe a noble who held a high-ranking position within the realm and had authority over other lords. The term "paramount" means "supreme" or "highest in rank or authority." In England, lords who held land "in capite ut de corona" (meaning "directly from the crown") were considered to be the highest-ranking nobles in the country. They owed their allegiance and service directly to the king and were responsible for governing their lands and the people who lived on them. These lords were also known as "tenants-in-chief" and were granted their lands by the king in exchange for their military and other services. The term "lord paramount" was used to describe the highest-ranking lord in a particular region or territory. For example, the Lord Paramount of Scotland was the highest-ranking noble in Scotland, while the Lord Paramount of Ireland was the highest-ranking noble in Ireland. Today, the term "lord paramount" is mainly used in historical contexts and has largely fallen out of use. The size of fiefs varied greatly throughout history and across different regions, depending on factors such as political and economic conditions, the availability of land, and the power of the feudal lord. Some of the largest fiefs in history include: The Holy Roman Empire: The Holy Roman Empire was a complex political system that included many feudal lords who held vast fiefs across Europe. The largest of these fiefs was the Duchy of Burgundy, which was held by the Valois dukes of Burgundy and covered much of modern-day France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The Kingdom of France: In the late medieval period, the Kingdom of France was divided into many large fiefs held by powerful feudal lords, including the Dukes of Brittany, the Dukes of Burgundy, and the Counts of Champagne. The largest of these fiefs was the Duchy of Aquitaine, which covered much of southwestern France. The Kingdom of England: In England, the largest fiefs were the earldoms, which were held by powerful nobles and covered large areas of land. The largest of these earldoms was the Earldom of Northumbria, which covered much of northern England. The Mughal Empire: The Mughal Empire was a powerful Muslim empire that ruled over much of South Asia from the 16th to the 19th century. The empire was divided into many large fiefs held by powerful feudal lords, including the Rajputs of Rajasthan, who held vast estates across northern India. The Russian Empire: The Russian Empire was a vast state that covered much of eastern Europe and northern Asia. The empire was divided into many large fiefs held by powerful feudal lords, including the princes of Moscow, who held vast estates in central Russia. These are just a few examples of some of the largest fiefs in history. The size and power of these fiefs varied greatly depending on the specific historical and political context in which they existed. A seigneur was typically a member of the nobility who held a fief from a higher-ranking lord, such as a king, a duke, or a bishop. The seigneur was responsible for administering his fief and providing military service to his overlord in exchange for the land and other privileges granted to him. The title of seigneur was often hereditary, meaning that it was passed down from father to son. In some cases, a seigneur might be granted additional titles or honors, such as the title of "baron" or "count," depending on his rank and status within the feudal hierarchy. So, "seigneur" was a noble title used to describe a feudal lord who held a fief or estate in medieval Europe, including in the 12th century. In medieval France, a seigneur who held a fief directly from the crown was known as a "seigneur direct" or a "seigneur of the crown." In Guernsey, a fief was a piece of land that was granted by the Crown to a noble in exchange for their service and loyalty. Along with the land, the fief holder was granted certain manorial rights, which included: The right to collect rents: The fief holder had the right to collect rent from tenants who lived on the land, which was typically paid in the form of produce or goods. The right to hold court: The fief holder had the right to hold court on their lands and to administer justice to their tenants. This included the right to try cases, impose fines and other punishments, and appoint officials to assist with the administration of justice. The right to hunt and fish: The fief holder had the right to hunt and fish on their lands and could also grant these rights to others. The right to timber: The fief holder had the right to cut down trees and use the timber for their own purposes, such as building or fuel. The right to mines and minerals: The fief holder had the right to mines and minerals on their land, including the right to extract metals and other valuable resources. The right to feudal incidents: The fief holder had the right to levy certain feudal incidents, such as relief and heriot, which were fees paid by tenants upon inheritance or death. It's important to note that the specific manorial rights associated with a fief in Guernsey would have varied depending on the particular circumstances and time period. However, these are some of the general rights and privileges that were typically associated with fief ownership in the island.

• Westmeath
  Earl Westmeath Longford Meath FEUDAL NOBILITY OF WESTMEATH "Westmeath hath many goodlie lakes and marshes of fresh water of great quantities, whereof the greatest part falleth into the Sheynon, above Athlone, and the rest into the Brosnagh, which also falleth into the Sheynon, near Mellick. It hath no noblemen in it, but the baron of Delvin, -whose name is Nugent, and under the bishop of Meath as ordinarie hereof. Whereinto is lately united by Parliament, the little diocese of Clone, in O'Meaghlin's country." —(Ireland in 1598) DELVIN. Its Ancient History. The name Delvin is of Druidic origin. It is called after the Druid Delbaeth (known Lugaiahdh Delbeath—" the fine producer.") It is recorded in the History of the Dalcassian Race of Thomond that the Druid Lugaidh, the head of the sept, having been driven from his territory in the County Clare, travelled to Carn Fiachach in South Westmeath, where the son of Niall Fiacha, of the Nine Hostages was buried. When he reached the Carn, Delbaeth lighted a great fire by his druidic power. Out of this fire there rushed five streams of flame. By directions of the Druid his sons followed, one each, the streams of fire, saying at the same time that their fierv streams would bring them to their future territories. One of the streams passed into the eastern part of Westmeath where the son who followed it settled down, and the district was ever after known as Dealbhna (anglicised Delvin) from his father Dealbaeth the Druid. This story may .appear mythical and legendary, but the fact remains that the name Dealbaeth the Druid still lives in the name and the barony and village of Delvin. After the Norman invasion the territory of Delvin passed into the hands of Hugh de Lacy who granted it to his son-in-law, Sir Gilbert de Nugent, and erected the Castle which still remains in excellent preservation in the village. Sir Gilbert de Nugent subsequently built the Castle ,of Clonyn. which was burned at the approach of Cromwell's army during the Parliamentary Wars. About two miles from Delvin is the townland of Drumcree (Irish—Druim Craich) the name of which is of very ancient origin. It is referred to in a celebrated poem written by the great Irish poet, Cuau O'Lothchain, who lived in the eleventh century:— Druim Criach, meeting place of a hundred hosts, Though now a desert, thy fame fades not, Though thou are now Druim Criaich, thou wert once Drumcree, As well as the cold Druim Airthin, on the same day. Druim Criaich means the hill of the sighs (Druim a hill, and Criaich—cri, the heart and ach a sigh or moan) on account of the Monarch of Tara Eochaidh having received on this hill the heads of his three sons, who had rebelled against him. This Eochaidh Ferdhlech was Monarch of Ireland about a century before Christ. Maeve, the celebrated Queen of Connaught was his daughter, He had also three sons named Tir, Fin, and Eaushna, who, when very young, were sent by their father to the great military school of the Red Branch Knights at Emania. When they had gained a thorough knowledge of the science of war they conceived the idea of seizing their father's throne, and to carry out their project they assembled a large force in Ulster and set out on their march to attack the Royal Palace of Tara. Their father, Eochaidh, having heard of their designs, advanced to meet them with a large body of the Royal troops. The opposing armies met at Drumcree, where a desperate battle ensued in which- the sons were defeated and in their flight, were captured. They were beheaded on the spot and their heads brought back to their father whose heart was deeply touched on seeing them, and from that day forward until his death he never ceased lamenting their sad fate, hence the name Drumcree, or Druim Criaich—" the hill of the sighs." Another incident of a very historic character took place at a much later period at Drumcree. Donagh son of Flann Sinna, King of Ireland, having attacked the territory of a Chief named O'Duban of Druim Dairbreach, in the neighbourhood of Drumcree, a battle took place between them on the hill of Drumcree and O'Duban was slain. The victorious Donagh buried the vanquished Chief O'Duban on the hill and had a monument erected over him to commemorate the victory. It may be mentioned here that this Donagh was father of the celebrated Malachy II. who succeeded Brian Boru, and died in the year 1022 on Cro Innis (now Cormorant Island) Lough Ennel. Castletown Delvin, or as it was anciently called Debhlana More, or the Great Delvin, after the name of the owner of the barony, Debhlaneth. Prior to the Anglo-Norman Invasion the barony belonged to the O' Fenolen Sept. The O'Fenolens were of remote Munster or Dalcassian origin. Their last chief in Delvin was Ceallagh or Kellagh in 1174. Since then those of the race under the modernized name of Fenolen have been in a state of obscurity and poverty, and Dr. O'Donovan adds that when he examined the barony of Delvin in 1837 he did not find many of the family in their original locality. Delvin is ten miles north-east of Mullingar, and thirty-nine miles north-west of Dublin, containing according to Lewis's Topographical Dictionary, 4,513 inhabitants, of which number 419 were living in the town. The castle which is in the village was built by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath, for his brother-in-law, Sir Gilbert de Nugent, who resided in it for some time and then built the Castle of Clonyn, not far from Delvin, which was burnt by the Earl of Westmeath to prevent it falling into the hands of the Cromwellian soldiers during the Parliamentary War of 1641. The town in 1836 contained seventy-seven houses. The parish is situated on the road from Athboy to Drumcree, and contains 15,659 statute acres, as applotted under the Tithe Act, besides a considerable quantity of waste land. There are tracts of bog and small lakes, and limestone is abundant. Clonyn Castle, for centuries the seat of the Nugent family, is near the town and is surrounded with extensive grounds richly ornamented with timber. In 1598 the chief towns of the barony of Delvin were— Delvin, Taughmon, Drumcree, and Ballenamonie. There are no traces to be found of the last three towns named. The Nugent family played a prominent part in the history of Westmeath and of Ireland. https://books.google.com/books?dq=annals+of+westmeath&jtp=7&id=jZ9BAAAAYAAJ#v=snippet&q=delvin&f=false "Westmeath hath many goodlie lakes and marshes of fresh water of great quantities, whereof the greatest part falleth into the Sheynon, above Athlone, and the rest into the Brosnagh, which also falleth into the Sheynon, near Mellick. It hath no noblemen in it, but the baron of Delvin, -whose name is Nugent, and under the bishop of Meath as ordinarie hereof. Whereinto is lately united by Parliament, the little diocese of Clone, in O'Meaghlin's country." —(Ireland in 1598)
