constructed a Castle and walls
around
Kells / Ceanannus Mor in
Co. Meath
in the south - east of

The Anglo - Norman territories previously held in Normandy were now lost by John the Anglo - Norman English King to France and the Norman Barons were driven out and required new lands and Ireland was to provide them, and he made Meiler Fitz Hugh the Anglo - Norman Baron the English Justicar in Ireland who began building the dreaded Dublin Castle / The Devil's 1/2 acre - as John had ordered a large castle to be built in Dublin in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster. Two other Anglo - Norman Barons, John de Gray and Henry de Londres, were also appointed as English Justiciars who were also seeking high office in both Church and State. Meanwhile, John de Courcy was doing his own thing in the east of ther Ulster Province even minting his own coin at Downpatrick and Carrickfergus, with his own name on them calling himself the "Prince of Ulster" while the other Anglo - Norman Barons under the orders of King John were endeavouring to bring him to heel.
Even though England's
ethnic
and religious oppression of the Irish
Septs in
Ireland was by now in full swing, from
this date onwards 7
of the
Heberian Dalcassian
Kings of Thomond / Tuaisceart Mhumhain / Northern Munster were still to be crowned at
Magh Adhair on the Sacred Mound at Clooney - Quin
in
Co. Clare
in the north - west of the Munster
Province up
until 1552 AD.
William Fitz - Aldhelm de Burgo / Burke, the
original Anglo - Norman Baron,
died, who is the actual direct ancestor of all of the
Burkes
in Ireland, who was
from Kilsheelan and
Clonmel, and who had built the
Augustine Abbey at
Athassel dedicated to
St. Edmund the martyred
King of East Anglia, and he was
interred there.
The Donnybrook Fair in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster was to be conducted from this date onwards until it too was to be also banned just like all the other things Irish by the oppressive British Conservative Government in power in England in 1855 AD. 1205 AD John the Anglo - Norman English King now made use of Hugh de Lacy to get rid of John de Courcy, when he appointed him the new English Earl of Ulster, but nevertheless the strong willed John de Courcy was to hold out in his Castle of Rath Dundrum in the east of the Ulster Province until he was eventually taken captive.
112.Cathal "Crobderg"
O
Connor the Ui Briuin
58th King of Connacht installed by the recently

Anglo - Norman English King to hang onto
the territory of the Ui Conchobair Sept in
the
Connacht Province.
Thomastown in Co. Kilkenny /
Ossory in
the south - west
of
Southern Leinster was
founded by Thomas Fitz Anthony
William
the Marshall
the Anglo
- Norman Baron, who
was the the second son
of
John
Fitz Gilbert the prior
Marshal to
Henry 1st had held vast
lands in Normandy and had
since been appointed the English Earl of
Leinster by
marrying
Strongbow's
daughter and he built the Cistercian
Abbey at
Craiguena -
Managh /
Duiske on the
River Barrow
in
Co. Kilkenny /
Ossory
in the south - west of
Southern Leinster,
which at 212'
long was to be the longest Cistercian
church in Ireland.
John
the Anglo - Norman King of England had not only created
Hugh de Lacy the English Earl of Ulster and given
him the territory in the Ulster
Province but also granted the territory in Co. Meath
in the south
- east of Northern Leinster
to his brother
Walter de Lacy.
At
this time, Thomas Fitz Gerald
the infant son of
Maurice Fitz Gerald the Anglo -
Norman - Welsh - Italian Baron was rescued from the fire that occurred
in their
Castle by their pet
ape and thereafter the Fitz Geralds were to carry the image of the
ape on their family crest in his honour.
1206 AD William Marshall finally fell out with John
the English King and he was to go
to Ireland were he was to remain until 1212 AD and where he was to be harried by
Meiler
Fitz Hugh,
John's personally appointed English Justiciar in Ireland.
John
the King of England who
was now at loggerheads with most of the Anglo
- Norman Barons had
Meiler
Fitz Hugh attack
William de Briouze /
Bruce who he had
previously appointed the English Earl of Limerick
and
William Marshall the
English appointed Earl of Leinster, but with their combined forces he was
defeated. He then had
Martin Fitz Henry
raid the Irish territory in Southern
Leinster and also the territory in
Co. Limerick in the mid -
north west of the Munster Province to break their
personal control there mainly because
John had demanded
Walter de Briouze's
2
sons as hostages. The reason for this particular onslaught was that de Briouze's
wife in desperation had also mentioned that
John had
personally
killed his own
nephew,
Arthur
of Brittany the rightful heir to
the English throne, and he was
to eventually seek his revenge by starving both her and her
son to death in prison
while William de Briouze was able to escape his clutches and
abscond to
France.
Walter de Lacy who was King John's
English appointed Earl in
Meath in the south - east of
Northern Leinster was also
William de Briouze's
brother - in - law
This year Cahir Abbey was founded for the Augustinians Cannons Regular at Caher in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province were there also is the Motte of Knock Graffan, which may have been an ancient Crowning place originally for the Kings of Munster.

in Ireland, was to
visit Ireland to see his
lands and began silver and lead mining at the

Clonmines in
Co. Wexford in the south - east
of
Southern
Leinster while
John the King of England was to grant him a
Charter to set up the town of
Kilkenny
in Co. Kilkenny / Ossory. Later on after
William Marshall's
death
Southern Leinster
was to be divided up between his
5 daughters, with
Kilkenny
going by English Law to
Gilbert de Clare
who would then be the English Earl of
Gloucester and would eventually also pass into the hands of the
English
Spencers.
1208 AD William Marshall and Walter de Lacy
the Anglo - Norman Barons were also forced by King John to accept new charters that cut back their franchises in Ireland,
as both
were also involved with Philip the King of France
while still trying also to hold onto their
territories there. William de Briouze who was formerly a companion of John
the King of England and was now persona non grata had by
now returned
to Ireland where he was given asylum by William Marshall and
also went to
see Walter de Lacy, his
son - in - law, in
Co. Meath in the south - east of
Northern Leinster and was promised further help by Hugh de
Lacy, his son
- in law's brother, who was now set up in the Ulster Province.

Co. Meath and
the
Ulster
Province under their control forcing William de Briouze,
Walter and Hugh de Lacy to
flee from Ireland while William Marshal was reconciled with him and accompanied him on
the campaign and because of their combined force more important
Irish Kings were also
submitted.
112.Cathal
"Crobderg" O Connor and others

in the north - east of Munster,
and the other at Killaloe in

had then handed it over to his son,
Richard
/
Ricarde de Burgo the direct
ancestor of the Clan Ricarde in
Ireland and had gone off instead to seek the greener pastures of the

Co. Tipperary in the north -
east of the Munster Province, which runs right
through to the Rock of
Cashel the previous seat of the
Heberian
