БАРНЕВОЛЛ

This book traces the long and distinguished history of the Barnewall family, one of the most prominent Old English dynasties in Ireland. Originating in the Norman period, the Barnewalls established themselves as powerful landowners, particularly in County Meath, where they played a central role in political, social, and religious life for centuries. The work follows the family from its medieval foundations through its rise to the peerage as the Barons Trimlestown, examining their estates, alliances, and influence. It highlights key figures, including those who navigated the complex religious and political changes of Ireland from the Tudor period onward. Drawing on historical records and genealogical sources, the book presents a clear account of the family’s development, its various branches, and its enduring legacy in Irish history.
