shistory.txt These were rooted in pre-Norman (pre-1170) political divisions of the kingdom of Ossory, which were roughly based on Gaelic family territories or "tuaths". The structure of the social system in Ossory was changed through the infuence of this Anglo-Norman oligarchy by the formation of the 'liberty' of Kilkenny, later to become the 'county' of Kilkenny, as well as through the rapid establishment of manors, towns and churches. Galmoy was split among the bishop of Ossory, and the families of Bigod, Drohull, Fanyn, Syward, Archdeacon, and Smith. www.geocities.com /chris-n-rich/shistory.txt   (1913 words)

Ossory --  Encyclopædia Britannica The ancient capital of the kingdom of Ossory, Kilkenny in Norman times had two townships: Irishtown, which had its charter from the bishops of Ossory, and Englishtown, established by William Marshal, earl of Pembroke, which was raised to the status of a city in 1609. He is one of the most popular Celtic saints in Scotland (where he is called Kenneth) and in Ireland (where he is called Canice) and patron saint of the diocese of Ossory in Ireland. In the 9th century it was ruled by an able king, Cerball, who allied himself with the Norse invaders and figured in later centuries as an ancestor of some important families in Iceland. www.britannica.com /eb/article-9057576?tocId=9057576   (318 words)

USREY FAMILY ORIGINS The Encyclopedia Britannica indicates that Osraighe or Ossory was an ancient Irish kingdom (capital Kilkenny) from the first century AD until 1110, then there was a Diocese of Ossory in the same region until 1832 (when it was annexed by the Diocese of Ormond), and that there have been several notable Earls of Ossory. One family legend has it that an Earl’s son (not clear if he was an Ossory from Kilkenny or an Urishay from Herefordshire) got into serious trouble and was given the option of being hung or coming to America. The first records of the Ossorys of Kilkenny pre-date those of Rollo and the Urishays from Herefordshire by at least half a century. www.mfgconsultants.com /drusrey/origins.html   (1667 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Killaloe The parish of Seir Kieran in King's County, though in Thomond, was allowed to remain subject to the Diocese of Ossory, out of respect to the memory of St. Kieran. The Abbey of Quin is one of the noblest remains of monastic antiquity in Ireland, and is in so perfect a state of preservation that little more than a roof is required to make it fit to house the monks and have their chant daily re-echo within its walls. Flannan was the first Bishop of Killaloe, and is said to have been consecrated at Rome by John IV about 640. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08641a.htm   (1667 words)

footnotes.htm Hartlett told me how my Lord Chancellor had lately got the Duke of York and Duchesse, and her woman, my Lord Ossory, and a doctor, to make oath before most of the judges of the kingdom, concerning all the circumstances of the marriage. This lady who made so distinguished a figure in the annals of infamy, was Barbara, daughter and heir of William Villiers, Lord Viscount Grandison, of the kingdom of Ireland, who died in 1642, in consequence of wounds received at the battle of Edge-hill. It was suspected of this princess to have had a similar engagement with the Duke of Buckingham as the queen with Jermyn, and that was the cause she would not see the duke on his second voyage to Holland, in the year 1652. www.globusz.com /ebooks/Grammont/footnotes.htm   (4335 words)
