Norman
overlords of Ofhearghusa alias Knockanore
Niall
C.E.J. O’Brien
The district which in
medieval times was called Ofhearghusa is a triangular area in West Waterford
bounded on the east by the River Blackwater and on the north by the River
Bride. The western boundary is the present county boundary between Cork and
Waterford. In the time before the Normans (pre 1169) the area was part of the
Déise Muman kingdom and the Diocese of Lismore. For an account of Ofhearghusa
before 1169 see the article = http://celtic2realms-medievalnews.blogspot.ie/2013/09/knockanore-in-cork-or-waterford-in.html
The area of Ofhearghusa
Robert Fitzstephen
In the early days of
the Norman Conquest Robert Fitz Stephen was granted the lands of Oglassin in
County Cork and Ocarbry in County Limerick for eight knight fees. Later Robert
Fitz Stephen leased out these lands to Alexander Fitz Maurice.[1] Robert
Fitzstephen left no legitimate heirs and was succeeded by Richard de Carreu in
the lands of Imokilly. Richard was succeeded about 1205 by his son Robert de
Carreu who in turn was succeded by his son Richard de Carreu (c.1250s). This
Richard left two sons, Thomas de Carreu (died pre 1274) and Maurice de Carreu.
This Maurice de Carreu would in 1307 recover ownership of Ofhearghusa from the Fitzgerald/de
Clare family as shall see below.[2]
Fitzgerald,
Barons of Offaly
In the 1180s it is
presumed that Prince John, as Lord of Ireland, gave Ofhearghusa to Gerald
Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald, 1st Baron Offaly. Although we don’t have the
exact grant document, we do have another document, dated 1185-1189, in which
Prince John gave Oglassin in County Cork to Gerald Fitzmaurice.[3] This
Gerald was the brother of Alexander Fitz Maurice above.[4]
Oglassin was also known as Imokilly but in later documents from 1299 Oglassin
and Ofhearghusa are grouped together.[5]
Gerald Fitzmaurice was
succeeded by his son, Maurice Fitzgerald, 2nd Baron Offaly. On 5th
July 1215 Maurice Fitzgerald agreed to pay a fine of 60 marks for his father’s
lands in Oglassin with the castles of Crumech and Dungarvan.[6]
The location of this castle of Dungarvan is undetermined. Dungarvan castle, Co.
Waterford had been given to Thomas Fitz Anthony two days before.[7]
The documents say that Crumech and Dungarvan were in Oglassin which was the
area around Youghal town and later known as the manor of Inchiquin.[8] The
2nd Baron Offaly developed the town of Youghal into a recognised
town and thriving seaport. Maurice Fitzgerald founded the Franciscan South Abbey.
The 2nd
Baron Offaly served as justiciar of Ireland in 1232-45 and died in 1257 when he
was succeeded in Ofhearghusa by his second son, Maurice Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald.
The elder son, Gerald Fitzmaurice died in 1243 and was the father of Maurice
Fitzgerald, 3rd Baron Offaly and grandfather of Gerald Fitzmaurice,
4th Baron Offaly. The 4th Baron died in 1287 without
issue and was succeeded by his cousin, John Fitzthomas, 5th Baron of
Offaly, who in 1316 was created 1st Earl of Kildare.[9]
In 1272-3 Maurice Fitzmaurice
was justiciar of Ireland.[10] His
term of office was short lived and without much success. In a military campaign
against the O’Connors of Offaly Maurice was taken prisoner. The government made
little effort towards his release. Instead King Edward appointed Geoffrey de
Geneville as the new justiciar.[11]
Maurice Fitzmaurice
Fitzgerald was married twice. His first wife was Matilda, daughter of Gerald de
Prendergast and widow of Maurice de Rochford by whom he had a daughter, Amabil.
In later years Amabil gave her Connacht inheritance to her cousin, John
Fitzthomas Fitzgerald. Maurice Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald married secondly to
Emelina, daughter of Stephen de Longespee and heiress of half of the lands of
her grandfather, Walter de Ridelisford.[12]
Thomas
de Clare
Maurice Fitzmaurice
Fitzgerald died in 1286 leaving female heirs.[13]
At Ofhearghusa he was succeeded by his daughter, Julianne Fitzmaurice
Fitzgerald. In 1274/5 Julianne Fitzmaurice married Thomas de Clare, second son
of the 5th Earl of Gloucester.[14]
Maurice had settled Oglassin and Ofhearghusa on Julianne in 1274 on her
marriage to Thomas de Clare with provision that they regrant the land to
Maurice for life with reminder to the heirs of Julianne and Thomas.[15]
Thomas de Clare
initially attended Oxford University with the intention of a clerical career
but changed his mind. At first he sided with Simon de Montfort against King
Henry III but later changed sides and fought for the king at Evesham. Thomas de
Clare gained many seized estates and became a wealthy person. In April 1269
Thomas de Clare began his association with Ireland when he gained the wardship
of Maurice Fitzgerald, 3rd Baron of Offaly. His marriage to Julianne
Fitzgerald gained him lands in Munster and Connacht. In about 1276 Thomas de
Clare exchanged his English property with Robert de Muscegros and acquired the
large lordship of Bunratty. In January 1276 King Edward made a grant of all of
Thomond to de Clare.[16]
It is possible that
Thomas de Clare built the riverside section of Strancally Castle. this part of
the castle is a rectangular building known as a hall house and were popular in
the late 13th century and early 14th century. In the 15th/16th
century a tower house was built onto the west side of the castle.
Gilbert
de Clare
Thomas de Clare died in
1288 and was succeeded by his son Gilbert de Clare. The inquisition post mortem
taken in October 1288 showed that Thomas de Clare held Ofhearghusa and other
land at Youghal, Any in Limerick and Bunratty in Clare. Half the land of Ofhearghusa
was leased to Jordan de Exeter by the service of 20s and doing yearly suit at
the manor court of Inchiquin. The other half of Ofhearghusa was leased to
Reginald de Dene on the same terms.[17]
In about 1299 Maurice de Carreu, as heir of Robert Fitz Stephen claimed that
the heirs of Thomas de Clare held Oglassin and Ofhearghusa from him by service
that he was unable to collect.[18]
Gilbert de Clare came
of age in 1302 when documents report that his mother had granted Oglassin to
her cousin John FitzThomas to hold for the minority. It is presumed that
Gilbert came into possession of Oglassin and Ofhearghusa after 1302. In 1308
Gilbert de Clare died without issue and was succeeded by his brother Richard de
Clare.[19]
Fitzstephen/Carew
re-establishment
In 1307/1310 King
Edward II returned to Maurice de Carreu the eight knight fees in Oglassin and
Ocarbry wrongly taken from him by previous monarchs.[20]
This grant to Maurice de Carreu restored the Fitzstephen/Carew family as
overlords of Ofhearghusa which they held of the king. The Fitzgerald/de Clare
family were thus sub-tenants of Maurice de Carreu while the de Exeter and de
Dene families were tenants of Fitzgerald/de Clare. The ordinary tenant farmers
who lived and worked the land of Ofhearghusa were below de Exeter and de Dene. Nineteen
century landlordism in Ofhearghusa was simpler. See 19th century
local landlords at https://niallbrn.wordpress.com/2013/09/01/kilwatermoy-landlords-in-1851/?frame-nonce=a0db86c8e2
Maurice de Carreu was succeeded
in about 1320 by his son, Thomas de Carreu when he got seisin of his father’s
lands. In 1336, Thomas de Carreu made a quit-claim of Olethan to David Fitz
David de Barry. In 1329 he had enfeoffed Maurice FitzThomas Fitzgerald, later 1st
Earl of Desmond, of half of the lordship of Desmond but this was judged illegal
by the government as Robert FitzStephen was declared a bastard and died without
heirs.[21] This
didn’t concern Maurice FitzThomas as he took control anyway. In the sixteenth
century Peter de Carew of Devon claimed to be a heir of Thomas de Carreu and
sought to acquire Imokilly without success.
Richard
de Clare
In 1318 Richard de Clare
was killed at the battle of Dysert O’Dea in modern-day County Clare. The
defeat, by the hands of the O’Briens, dealt a fatal blow to English power in
Clare and North Munster.[22]
Thomas
de Clare and Margaret de Badlesmere
Richard de Clare was
succeeded at Ofhearghusa and elsewhere by his son Thomas de Clare. This young
man did not long enjoy his inheritance as he died in 1321. Thomas de Clare was
succeeded by his two aunts, Margaret (wife of Sir Bartholomew de Badlesmere)
and Maud (wife of Sir Robert de Well), sisters of Richard de Clare. In 1321
Thomas de Clare had 1½ knight fees in Ofhearghusa leased to Stephen de Exeter
while Isabel (wife of Gilbert de Clare) had as her dower land the other 1½
knight’s fees in Ofhearghusa which she leased to Thomas de Dene.[23]
The same 1321 inquisition post mortem said that Thomas de Clare held Youghal
and Inchiquin from the heirs of Robert Fitz Stephen by the service of 100
shillings or 2½ knight fees.[24]
For more on the de Exeter family see = http://celtic2realms-medievalnews.blogspot.ie/2016/11/affane-athmethan-civil-parish-in.html
Giles
de Badlesmere and his four sisters
Margaret de Badlesmere
was succeeded by her son, Giles de Badlesmere. In 1320 Giles de Badlesmere died
without any children and was succeeded by his four sisters; Margery (wife of
Sir William de Roos), Maud (wife of John de Vere, Earl of Oxford), Elizabeth
(wife of William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton) and Margaret (wife of Sir John
Tiptoft). Giles de Badlesmere left extensive property in Kent, Sussex,
Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire and Essex as well as the de Clare
lands in Ireland.[25]
Thus the new owners of
Ofhearghusa were all English absentee owners. Maurice Fitzthomas Fitzgerald, 1st
Earl of Desmond claimed that Giles de Badlesmere held his Irish property from
Maurice and not from the King.[26]
With this claim Maurice Fitzgerald made war in Munster and attacked Youghal. In
1329 Maurice Fitzthomas said that he had purchased the lordship of Youghal and
Inchiquin from Thomas de Carreu, heir of Robert Fitz Stephen.[27] Maurice
Fitzthomas occupied the Youghal area from about 1321 until 1346. In about 1348
the large Irish estate of the Fitzgerald/de Clare inheritance was divided into
four parts with each sister getting an equal share.
The
four parts of Inchiquin become one unit
In 1360 the 3rd
Earl of March inherited the quarter of Youghal and Inchiquin formerly held by
the Earl of Northampton. In 1367 the Earl of Oxford gave his quarter share of
Inchiquin to the Earl of Ormond.[28]
In 1369 William de
Windsor arrived in Ireland as the new Lord Lieutenant. Among his tasks was the
restoration of English power. One of the barriers to this was the ownership of
much of the English part of Ireland by absentee lords living in England. The
local Anglo-Irish gentry had often complained about absentee owners not paying
their share of the defence budget. In 1368 an ordinance or Act of Absentees was
passed which required these absentee owners to live in Ireland or send
men-at-arms on pain of forfeiture.[29]
In 1370 the quarter of
Inchiquin held by Lord de Roos was seized by the government under the Act of
Absentees but was restored in the following year. In 1372 the government again
seized the quarter share of Lord Roos. At about the same time Lord Roos gave
his share to William de Hampsterley in an effort to avoid forfeiture and to at least
get something for the property.[30] On
18th March 1372 William de Hampsterley made a grant to William de
Windsor of his quarter share of Youghal and Inchiquin. William de Windsor
appointed John Ducket and Thomas de Holihurst as his attorneys to receive the
property.[31]
In February 1367 Robert
Tiptoft granted his quarter share of Inchiquin to John Hankyn, King’s
serjeant-at-arms, to get round any forfeiture under the Act of Absentees. In
October 1369 John Hankyn granted the same to James Butler, Earl of Ormond. In October
1372, Margaret, wife of the Robert Tiptoft, quitclaimed the quarter share of
Inchiquin to the Earl of Ormond. Margaret subsequently married Sir John Cheyne
and in 1378 they both quitclaimed the quarter share to the Earl of Ormond.[32]
On 24th
October 1367 and 18th October 1368 Thomas de Veer made a grant of
his quarter share of Youghal and Inchiquin to James Butler, Earl of Ormond, and
Elizabeth his wife.[33]
The Earl of Ormond now had two parts of Inchiquin.
In 1374 the 3rd
Earl of March gave his quarter share of Inchiquin to John Ducket, Ralph de
Beltisford and Thomas Holihurst.[34]
These three people were associates of William de Windsor, John Ducket was even
his brother-in-law.[35]
The three recipients subsequently gave the quarter share to William de Windsor,
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
Thus by 1385 William de
Windsor had acquired half of the manor of Inchiquin (including half of Youghal)
along with half of the land of Ofhearghusa (Knockanore). William de Windsor
gave his share of Ofhearghusa to two tenants, Thomas Uniacke and David de
Capella to hold by two knight’s fees each.[36]
Sometime before 1405
James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond gave the manor of Rincrew to his
niece and unofficial spouse, Katherine of Desmond, daughter of Gerald
Fitzmaurice, 3rd Earl of Desmond. It seems the Earl of Ormond acquired
Rincrew from Robert Tiptoft or from Thomas de Veer as their quarter share of
the Badlesmere inheritance. In 1443 Katherine of Desmond gave Rincrew manor to
her nephew, Gerald Mór Fitzgerald, later 1st Lord of the Decies. The
Fitzgerald family held Templemichael, alias Rincrew, until 1750 when they sold
it to Richard Dawson of Dublin.[37]

On 12th
April 1413 John Windsor (nephew of William de Windsor) granted the barony of
Inchiquin to Arthur Ormesby to hold of the chief lord. This was to avoid
forfeiture under the Absentee Act which was a bit of an irony as his uncle got
the land under the same Act.[38] Elsewhere
Arthur Ormesby is said to be son of Margaret, daughter of William de Windsor,
late Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.[39]
In 1413 or 1420 James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond, granted a series
of liberties to the town of Youghal.[40] In
October 1419 James Butler was mentioned s lord of Youghal.[41]
In February 1420 Arthur Ormesby made a grant in full seisin of Youghal and
Inchiquin along with the advowson of Youghal to James Butler, Earl of Ormond.[42]
Earls
of Desmond begin to acquire Ofhearghusa
In January 1422, James
Butler, Earl of Ormond, made James Fitzgerald, 7th Earl of Desmond,
his seneschal of Imokilly, Inchiquin and Youghal for life.[43]
At about the same time (1420) the Earl of Desmond was lord of Aghern, Mogeely,
Lisfinny, Sheanmore, and Tallow.[44] In
1298 Thomas Fitzmaurice of Shanid owned half of Tulachrath (Tallow) which was
rented by John le Poher as a free tenant.[45] This
1298 part of Tallow is presumingly the later manor of Lisfinny north of the
River Bride. The Tallow of 1420 is presumingly the town and civil parish of
Tallow south of the River Bride. The Earl of Desmond must have acquired Tallow
from one of the four heirs of Giles de Badlesmere or had occupied it since the
time of the first Earl of Desmond and claimed ownership by default. As the medieval archives of the Earls of Desmond have not survived we are left with gaps in the story of the Ofhearghusa overlords and medieval owners that may never be filled in.
In May 1429 James
Butler, Earl of Ormond, proposed to give Thomas, son of James Fitzgerald, Earl
of Desmond, the town and advowson of Youghal along with the Barony of Inchiquin
as part of the marriage agreement between Thomas Fitzgerald and Anne Butler,
daughter of the said James Butler.[46] But
this agreement failed to happen as the marriage did not go through.[47]
By 1460 James
Fitzgerald, Earl of Desmond, had acquired all of Youghal and those parts of
Ofhearghusa (excluding Rincrew) that he did not previously own such as
Strancally.
In 1460 the four
parishes that made up medieval Ofhearghusa were divided among at least three
owners. The parish of Templemichael was divided between the Fitzgeralds of
Dromana, Lords of the Decies, and Molana Abbey while the parish of Kilwatermoy
was of uncertain ownership. The Roche family owned parts of Kilwatermoy in 1640
and may have acquired it in ancient times.[48] For
more on Molana Abbey see = http://celtic2realms-medievalnews.blogspot.ie/2013/09/molana-abbey-in-county-waterford-ireland.html
The 7th Earl
of Desmond was now overlord and owner of two of the four medieval parishes of
Ofhearghusa, namely, Tallow and Kilcockan. This Desmond ownership remained
until after the Second Desmond Rebellion (1579-1583) when the Earldom of
Desmond was seized by the English government and divided among English
courtiers with Sir Walter Raleigh acquiring most of Ofhearghusa.
