Court Of Common Pleas (Ireland)
The Court of Common Pleas was one of the principal courts of common law in Ireland. It was a mirror image of the equivalent court in England. Common Pleas was one of the four courts of justice which gave the Four Courts in Dublin, which is still in use as a courthouse, its name. History According to Elrington Ball the Irish Court of Common Pleas, which was known in its early years as ''the Common Bench'' or simply ''the Bench'', was fully operational by 1276. It was headed by its Chief Justice (the Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas, as distinct from the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, who was the head of the Irish Court of King's Bench). He had two (occasionally three) justices to assist him. The first Chief Justice was Sir Robert Bagod, former High Sheriff of County Limerick, a member of an old Dublin family which gave its name to Baggot Street. In the early centuries, he was often referred to as "Chief Justice of the Bench", or "the Dublin Bench". Traditionally its ...

Athcarne Castle
Athcarne Castle is a ruined Elizabethan castle outside the town of Duleek in County Meath, Ireland. Etymology The name ''Athcarne'' is thought to be derived from either ''Áth Cairn'' meaning the Fording Point at the Cairn, or burial mound, or alternatively from ''Ard Cairn'', meaning High Cairn. There is a burial mound to the southeast of the castle, across the Hurley River. Dr. Beryl Moore, the Meath historian, wrote that the castle may actually be built on top of a cairn. These cairns were built around 4,000 years ago. In 861, the Vikings raided Newgrange and Dr. Moore wrote that the Cairn(s) at Athcarne were also raided at that time. History A location called ''Cerne, Cernae or Cerna'' in early historic times, encompassing the townlands of Carnes to the east of the ford at Athcarne, was noted as the principal burial site for the men of east Midhe and Brega (''Cernoi nominatur, al. Cernai .i. coernia daiġ is ann atá primreilec Airthir Midi ocus Breaġ''). This in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was fought between an Irish alliance—led mainly by Hugh O'Neill of Tyrone and Hugh Roe O'Donnell of Tyrconnell—against English rule in Ireland, and was a response to the ongoing Tudor conquest of Ireland. The war was fought in all parts of the country, but mainly in the northern province of Ulster. The Irish alliance won some important early victories, such as the Battle of Clontibret (1595) and the Battle of the Yellow Ford (1598), but the English won a victory against the alliance and their Spanish allies in the siege of Kinsale (1601–02).
