The Normans were very unsuccessful in trying to establish themselves in Clare. They had but one small section in Bunratty guarded by a strong Castle of the same name. In 1318 Richard DeClare occupied the Castle of Bunratty. In May of that year he was joined by some Irish traitors and they proceeded with a very strong Army of English and Irish to attack Conor O’Dea of Dysert O’Dea and establish…

I guess I don't have to tell anybody that today is March 17th, the feast day of Saint Patrick of Ireland. Patrick is well known for having banished all the snakes from Ireland. But not everybody knows the story about a particular snake he fought.

According to a folk tale, there lived a giant serpent in Lough Muskry near Tipperary, so nobody dared to go near the lake. But Patrick came to the lake, had a long discussion with the creature and convinced it to stay at the bottom of the lake until Judgement day.

Every St. Patricks day (Easter Sunday according to other versions), the snake comes to the surface, asks if it's Judgement day yet, and then disappears again.

Other stories tell that when Patrick had banished the snakes from ireland, one snake called Lig na Paiste remained and was later banished to the ground of Lough Foyle by Staint Murrough O’ Heaney.

Whenever I'm bored, I would search name meanings on Google, yk just for fun.

Yesterday, I thought I would search up the origin of Murdoc's name, and it's a Scottish name. But, apparently Murdoc is a simplified English name that goes all the way back to an Old Irish name 'Muiredach'.

The 'Muiredach' name would anglicized variously to Murdo, Morrow, and Murdoch (Scottish) and Murphy, Morgan and Murrough (Irish). Some of these names would sort of branch out to their own variation like Murchadh and Morrow.

Also fun fact, Muiredach means 'lord of the sea or the leader of a clan/tribe'👀

Something to share :)

OHHHHHH that is very interesting!! thank you for sharing. @thunderlina pspspspsps this seems like something that would interest you

Regarding that tag, do you have any recommendations for good reading on Gráinne? Pretty sure I've only read the Anne Chambers book, and that novel.

At the moment? Honestly not. It's extremely frustrating, because research on Gráinne is overwhelmingly based on the Chambers book, but, imo, her research is...it was groundbreaking in the 1980s. And I think...she does have a lot of the folkloric and the primary sources down. To the extent that, when I had an expert on local folklore in Connemara pinned down, she was the only source he could recommend. But the things she does with them...

She has favorites (the treatment of Donal and Murrough O'Flaherty is heinous, honestly), she plays with them, she merges the folkloric sources with the primary sources to try to create an image of Gráinne and "Celtic women" that aligns with what she wants them to be, not necessarily what the primary sources show us (and who is remarkably devoid of flaws for someone who colluded with the English whenever it was convenient for her), and until someone writes a better book, she's what we're stuck with.

(And for the record, re: the exact context of that tag: I don't believe that EVERY SINGLE male annalist and historian of Early Modern Ireland had a specific grudge against Gráinne and that's why she doesn't appear in any of the written sources. I think it does a discredit to the amount of work that went into the annals, which often *do* highlight women, including daring or unconventional women, to say that they were trying to Put Down a Strong Woman. I think we have to look at other options before we bring that up. I'm not saying they weren't sexist by our standards, but I'm saying that their sexism =/= ours. And I think a part of why she and, subsequently, everyone who's followed after her blames sexism is because she's made Gráinne into SUCH a girlboss, SUCH an icon, SUCH an untouchable, almost divine figure that...you have to have someone to blame for why the primary sources don't really live up to it. It isn't to say she wasn't impressive -- the English sources seem to more than make up for the muted nature of the Irish sources, but I suspect that she had a lot of currency in Connacht that didn't go far beyond Connacht.)

Páiste

My very own Persona by @plummetingplum <3

The description reads:

Also known as Lig na Páiste, or the "Last Great Reptile." A fearsome ancient dragon that thwarted Saint Patrick's attempts to purge dragons from the land and flourished long after the saint's death. He was finally bound in iron bars by Saint Murrough O'Heaney under the waters of Lough Foyle, where to this day passersby claim to feel a powerful rage emanating from the deep. Like his wielder, he is known for his cleverness, courtesy, and totally badass defiance of God. Happy 30th birthday babe. Welcome to the coolest age. I love you more than anything.

Murrough O’Donovan – Artist Statement

 

Murrough O’Donovan is working with pen, pencil and ink drawing. In his drawings he is using trees he has a personal connection to, to represent the world taking inspiration from Yggdrasil of Norse mythology and drawing representations of urbanisation snaking up them like a parasitic plant referencing urban sprawl and the destruction of the wild both around his home in West Cork and globally.

Grace O'Malley (c. 1530 – c. 1603), also known as Gráinne O'Malley[1] (Irish: Gráinne Ní Mháille, pronounced [gˠɾˠaːnʲə nʲiː waːlʲə]), was the head of the Ó Máille dynasty in the west of Ireland, and the daughter of Eóghan Dubhdara Ó Máille.

In Irish folklore she is commonly known as Gráinne Mhaol (anglicised as Granuaile) and is a well-known historical figure in sixteenth-century Irish history. Her name also was rendered in contemporaneous English documents in various ways, including Gráinne O'Maly, Graney O'Mally, Granny ni Maille, Grany O'Mally, Grayn Ny Mayle, Grane ne Male, Grainy O'Maly, and Granee O'Maillie,[2] rarely as Grace O'Malley[3]In popular culture she is often referred to as "The Pirate Queen".

O'Malley is not mentioned in the Irish annals, so documentary evidence for her life comes mostly from English sources, especially the eighteen "Articles of Interrogatory", questions put to her in writing on behalf of Elizabeth I.[4] She is mentioned in the English State Papers and in other documents of the kind, as well.[5]

Upon her father's death she took over active leadership of the lordship by land and sea, despite having a brother, Dónal an Phíopa Ó Máille. Marriage to Dónal an Chogaidh (Donal "of the war") Ó Flaithbheartaigh brought her greater wealth and influence, reportedly owning as much as 1,000 head of cattle and horses. In 1593, when her sons Tibbot Bourke and Murchadh Ó Flaithbheartaigh (Murrough O'Flaherty) and her half-brother Dónal an Phíopa ("Donal of the Pipes") were taken captive by the English governor of Connacht, Sir Richard Bingham, O'Malley sailed to England to petition for their release. She formally presented her request to Queen Elizabeth I at her court in Greenwich Palace.

ABOUT: acquarone, cathán.

— FULL NAME: cathán murrough acquarone. *demisexual.

— BIRTHDATE / AGE: august 24, 1728. 293.

— SPECIES: selkie.

— OCCUPATION: independent bookbinder.

— FACE CLAIM: daniel gillies.

— DEFAULT VERSE: preternatural.

— ALT VERSE(S):

— BIOGRAPHY: as the fable goes: cathán’s father was originally from Italy. he was a pirate of the seas and once made a voyage to the small town of strangford, ireland. this is where he met cathán’s mother one fateful night. he spotted her just off the cove. like many pirates often do, he stole – he took and hid her tail – and thereby she became his wife. eventually, his mother would come to love his father and they would have four children all together. cathán and his siblings are all selkies. a rare combination if ever there was one. they lived for many happy years together and everything seemed well enough.

that is until the eve of cathán’s graduation from university. it had all been planned. a party, a true celebration in every sense – but as his mother was going through trinkets in the attic, she came to discover her tail. she fled that very night. leaving a truly shattered family behind. eventually, this would drain his father of any emotion he had remaining. he would distance himself from all his children seeing nothing but her light in them. his father would return to Italy: unable to cope. while his brothers and sister would remain in ireland and he would travel onward to california. where he would firstly set himself up as an independent bookbinder and begin a long-time hobby of an antique book collector.

cathán is unaware if his father still lives: as the man has made the decision to cut off all ties with his former family. now and then he hears from his brothers and his sister. he has wished to invite them to visit him in the states but he knows that they would never do so. they prefer Ireland and the separation – possibly more-so for his sister would end up being too much. he has done well for himself. though he at times experiences spells of loneliness and he has had many lovers between then. though he has had many satisfactory ones none of them truly proved to be symbolic. he is drawn to women not of his own will and that is the part of him he wishes he could turn off. he can try to ignore it but eventually it will kick in.
