The Anglesey Papers comprise an Irish estate archive, mainly relating to Co. Louth, 1611, 1639 and 1660-1858, and the archive of the 1st Marquess of Anglesey as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 1838-1829 and 1830-1833.
The Anglesey estate in Ireland derived from the lordships of Newry and Mourne in Cos Down and Louth which were granted to Sir Nicholas Bagenal in 1552.
In this heady atmosphere, Anglesey became a convert to Catholic Emancipation a little sooner than the Duke of Wellington, or rather a little sooner than the Duke of Wellington wished this to be avowed as government policy; and in consequence Anglesey was peremptorily recalled at the beginning of 1829.

 Wooden Legs
One-Leg is a biography of Henry William Paget, First Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854) who lost his leg at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815 being struck by grape shot which shattered his knee.
"In the popular version, Uxbridge [Anglesey's name at the time of injury] exclaims 'By God, sir, I've lost my leg!' Wellington momentarily removes the telescope from his eye, considers the mangled limb, says 'By God, sir, so you have!' and resumes his scrutiny of the victorious field" (Anglesey 149).
Austin stipulated that he should see his leg once it had been severed and, like Anglesey's amputated limb, it was later buried in its own grave (Austin 149-50).
