of
Northern Munster
/ Thomond
was to set up his residence at
Clonroad
in the town of Ennis in
Co. Clare
in the north - west of the Munster Province were he began the building of
the
Ennis Abbey, which would in the future also become a
"ruin" under
the Centuries of English "occupation" to come, but is being re - constructed today
under the auspices of Dail Eireann / Irish
Assembly.
John
"Lackland" the
"third" Angevin
Norman King of England allocated
territory in
Co. Limerick
in the mid - north - west of the Munster Province, along with the
Rock of Dunamase in
Co. Laois
in the mid - north - west of Southern
Leinster, (which
had
originally been the fortress of
113.Dermot Mac
Murrough
na Gall
-
of the Foreigners who had previously given it over
to
Strongbow 11 / Richard de Clare), to another of his cohorts
William
de Briouze /
Bruce
the Cambro
- Norman Baron who was known as the "Terror of the
Welsh
Marches" as at this time de Briouze / Bruce was the most powerful
Norman
Marcher Baron in
Wales, and
he also
installed him as the
English Earl of Limerick,
but time would tell a different tale.
1202 AD William de Burgh / Burke the Anglo - Norman Baron with his English Galls invaded the Connacht Province again this year, once again in '"support" of 115.Cathal Crobhdhearg O Connor, the "illegitimate" son of *114.Turlogh O Connor the previous 55th King of Connacht, and 173rd King of Ireland, against the "rightful heir" 117.Cathal Carrach O Connor, the son of 116.Conor Maenmaige O Connor, who had been "elected" by his Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Conchobair Sept under "The Irish Brehon Law." 115.Cathal Crobhdhearg - of the Red Wine Hand O Connor was also a "half - brother" to his grandfather, *115.Rory O Connor who had been the 56th King of Connacht and the last 183rd King of Ireland who had died in 1198 AD, On this occassion William de Burgh successfully "re - installed" 115.Cathall Crobhdhearg O Connor as the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin 58th King of Connacht giving the Anglo - Norman English Galls now even "greater" overall control there also again in the Connacht Province.
Hugh / Hugo de Lacy the other powerful Anglo - Norman Baron who was in control of the O Melaglins' / O Loughlins Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain kingdom of Meath / Midhe in Northern Leinster, now acting for King John "Lackland," this year constructed a castle and walls around Kells / Ceanannus Mor there in the south - east of Northern Leinster to keep the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill and the other Irish Septs who were still surviving there in that region at bay.
Felix O Dullany the Irish Catholic
Bishop of Ossory,
"died," this year, and his body
was interred in
Jerpoint Abbey
in
Co. Kilkenny in the south - west
of
Southern Leinster, and the construction
was
also begun there on the Cathedral of St. Kenneth / St. Canice, under the auspices of
the Anglo - Norman Hugh de Rous,
who was now to be the new
Anglo - Norman Catholic Bishop of Ossory, until
1215 AD.
1204 AD
The Anglo - Norman English Galls constructed the first stone castle in
Kilkenny City in Co.
Kilkenny / Ossory in the south - west of Southern Leinster
under William
- the Marshall / le Maraschell the Anglo - Norman Baron, who was now the English
Earl of
Leinster, while
The territories of the Anglo - Norman Barons that were previously held in Normandy in France, were now lost by the "erratic" King John "Lackland" the third Angevin Norman English King, and the Norman Marcher Barons were also "driven out" of France and they required new territories and it seemed that Ireland was going to provide them with King John "Lackland" appointing Meiler Fitz Hugh another of the Anglo - Norman Barons as his new English Justicar in Ireland who began building the dreaded Dublin Castle (The Devil's 1/2 acre), as King John "Lackland" had ordered a large castle to be built in Dublin in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster. John de Gray and Henry de Londres, two other Anglo - Norman Barons, were also installed as 2 further English Justiciars in Ireland, who were also seeking "high" office in both Church and State. John de Courcy the Anglo - Norman Baron in the Ulster Province who had previously "fell out" with King John "Lackland" over his "murder" of the young Arthur of Brittany had previously been "left alone" and had continued to do his "own thing" in the north - east of the Ulster Province, even to minting his "own coin" at Downpatrick and Carrickfergus with his own personal name on them, and he was also calling himself the Prince of Ulster, and the other Anglo - Norman Barons, acting under the orders of King John "Lackland" were now endeavouring to bring him undone.
Even though
England's "ethnic
and indigenous "religious oppression" and land
"confiscations" on the
Gaelic
Irish
Septs in
Ireland was by now in "full swing," from
this date onwards 7

William Fitz - Aldhelm de Burgh / Burke, the
"original" Anglo - Norman Baron in Ireland,
"died," who is the first actual "direct male line" ancestor of all of the
inter - connected
Burkes
in Ireland,
whose son was to be Richard de Burgh
- the Red Earl of Ulster
and although King John "Lackland" had
given him "overall"
control over the
Connacht Province for the
English monarchy, he had instead concentrated on the
"fertile plains" of the Golden Vale
in
Co. Kildare in
Southern Leinster that would be known as the
Barony of Clanwilliam,
leaving the control of
Connacht Province to his son,
Richard
de Burgh.
His confiscated Estates in the Golden Vale were at Kilsheelan / Cill Siollan
/ Siollain's Church on the north bank of the River Suir that flows along
the border with Co. Waterford,
and at

Ath Assail / Asal's Ford in Co. Tipperary in
the north - east of the Munster Province
in 1193 AD, that was dedicated to
St. Edmund the martyred
King of East Anglia, and this is
where
William Fitz - Aldhelm de Burgh was
to be "interred" and he still remains there.
The Donnybrook Fair in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster was to be conducted from this date "onwards," up until 1855 AD, when it too was also to be "banned "just like, "All things Irish," by the oppressive British Conservative Government authorities in the Dublin Castle (The Devil's 1/2 Acre) who were to be under the overall control of those in authority in England.
1205 AD John "Lackland" the third Norman Angevin English King now made use of Hugh / Hugo de Lacy the Anglo - Norman Baron who was still in control of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmasin kingdom of Meath / Midhe in Northern Leinster to get rid of John de Courcy, when he appointed him also the new English Earl of Ulster, but despite this 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 "arrested" and taken captive and "driven out" of Ireland altogether and Hugh de Lacy then also took over in the "north - east" in Ulster Province in the kingdom of Ulaidh.

in their castle, and thereafter the Fitz Geralds were to carry the image of that
"ape" on their family crest in his honour.
