Fix this textMILITARY KILKENNY IS ONE OF IRELAND’S NOTED CASTLES
Fix this textOWING to the fine limestone of which it is built, Kilkenny is often
Fix this textreferred to as the “Marble City.” It stands on the River Nore, and,
Fix this textas it was the ancient capital of the Kings of Ossory, it is one of the oldest
Fix this textand most interesting cities of Ireland, and the chief town of its county.
Fix this textAs early as 1172 a fortress was established here by Strongbow, and the
Fix this textepiscopal see of Ossory was transferred here in 1202; in the fourteenth
Fix this textcentury Kilkenny was the seat of government and at the height of
Fix this textits fafne.
Fix this textThe Parliament of 1366-67 passed the notorious Statute of Kilkenny,
Fix this textwhich aimed against the descendants of the Anglo-Norman settlers, making
Fix this textit a treasonable offence for them to marry any man or woman of the
Fix this textIrish race.
Fix this textThe lordship of Kilkenny was purchased from Strongbow’s descendants
Fix this textby James Butler, third earl of Ormonde. In 1642-48 Kilkenny was the
Fix this textheadquarters of the Confederates. Cromwell, in 1650, succeeded in storming
Fix this textthe city, and the garrison, under Sir Walter Butler, marched out with full
Fix this textmilitary honors.
Fix this textStanding on a prominent position on the west bank of the More is
Fix this textKilkenny Castle, seat of the Marguess of Ormonde, the head of the Butler
Fix this textfamily. The castle, which dates from 1192, was built by the Earl of Pembroke,
Fix this textson-in-law of Strongbow, whose earlier fortress stood on the same site. It
Fix this textwas purchased, in 1400, by James, third Earl of Ormonde. The Butlers
Fix this textplayed a prominent part in Irish history and waged a bitter feud with the
Fix this textFitzgeralds of Kildare.
Fix this textKilkenny Castle, with its towers and restored battlements, still maintains
Fix this textits military character. Within is the magnificent dining-room, in which is
Fix this textkept the remarkable collection of plate, including ancient ivory and gold
Fix this textdrinking cups presented by British sovereigns, while the picture gallery
Fix this textcontains many famous portraits, including “The Marriage of St. Catherine”
Fix this textby Correggio and “St. John” by Murillo.
