	County Laois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		County Laois (pronounced Leash), also spelt Laoighis or Leix (Irish: Contae Laoise), is a county in the midlands of Ireland.
		Situated in the province of Leinster, this small county is the only one in Ireland not bordered by another county with a coastline.
		Finally, the county became home to a community of French Huguenots in the 1690s, who were settled in Ireland after their service to William of Orange in the Williamite war in Ireland.

	Ireland Genealogy Projects, County Leix
		QUEEN'S County, an inland county of the province of Leinster, bounded on the east by the counties of Kildare and Carlow, on the north by the King's county, on the west by the same and Tipperary county, and on the south by the counties of Kilkenny and Carlow.
		The inequality is mostly caused by the escars, ridges of which traverse the county in several parts; they are mostly formed of rounded nodules of limestone, calcorcous sandstone, and coal shale, the parent rocks of which are found in the county or close to its confines.
		The principal portion of the county belongs to the great floetz limestone field, which forms the base of the greater part of the level coutnry of Ireland; the Slieve-Bloom mountains in the north-west, are of the sandstone formation, and at the Slievemargue in the south-east, the coal formation commences.

	JOURNAL
		Leix is by no means frequently mentioned in “The Irish Annals”; and when an entry does occur, it, as a rule, records either a hostile incursion from a neighboring clan, or (later on) a Government force, or else refers to some cattle-lifting foray, or internal feud between rivals for the Chieftainship.
		Kenny, son of Kennedy, Tanist (i.e., the appointed successor to the Chieftainship) of Leix, was slain.
		Gilla-Colum O’Molloy, lord of Fircall (a district in the King’s County), was slain by O’More.

	Dowling coat of arms
		Although the Dowlings are one of the "Seven Septs of Leix", some of the ancient historians state with some certainty that they share a common descent with the Murphy and Kinsella septs, their ancestor being Eanna Ceannsalach who lived in the fourth century.
		The leading land-owning members of the sept in Leix (or Laois) were further transplanted to Tarbert on the border of north Kerry and west Limerick in 1608-9 as part of the Plantation of Laois and Offaly, under which the two counties were renamed as Queen's and King's County respectively.
		Brigus sent a colony into Britain, who settled in that territory now known as the counties of York, Lancaster, Durham, Westmoreland, and Cumberland, and, after him were called Brigantes; whose posterity gave formidable opposition to the Romans, at the time of the Roman invasion of Britain.
