Irishtown, Kilkenny
Irishtown ( ga, An Baile Gaelach) is the neighborhood in Kilkenny in Ireland around St Canice's Cathedral. It was formerly a borough, also called Newcourt or St Canice's, separated by the River Breagagh from the walled town of Kilkenny to the south. History The site of Irishtown was the capital of the Mac Giolla Phádraig dynasty of the medieval Kingdom of Ossory, and a daughter house of Aghaboe Abbey was built there. In 1111 the Synod of Ráth Breasail divided Ireland into dioceses, with the Diocese of Ossory based on the Gaelic kingdom and the abbey church became St Canice's Cathedral. The name ''Kilkenny'' is from the Irish "church of St. Canice". The status of episcopal seat spurred the growth of the existing settlement. After the Norman invasion of Ireland, the Anglo-Normans built Kilkenny Castle near by as the seat of the new County Kilkenny, County of Kilkenny, which had largely the same extent as the Kingdom of Ossory. Two separate ancient borough, boroughs were recogn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
