Drogheda (Parliament Of Ireland Constituency)

Sometimes a writ of election was made to the two boroughs separately (Drogheda ''versus Uriel'' and Drogheda ''versus Midiam'')Clarke 1926, p.117 IV.2 'John Fulpot and Walter Milys were to attend the parliament at Dublin (15 April 1370)' and sometimes to the two jointly (Drogheda , "on both sides of the water"). In 1412, the two boroughs were united and, together with their liberties, formed into the " county of the town of Drogheda" separate from Meath and Louth. The county of the town formed a single county borough constituency.
