Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal of the Cork Historical Archæological Society, Vol. 12 In papers which appeared in the pages of this Journal (Jan. and Feb., 1893), the present writer dealt with the history of the manor and castle of Mallow in the time of the Tudors, more especially at the period of the Desmond rebellion, as derived from original sources. It is now proposed to take up the story of Mallow from the early days of King James the First, when the town and neighbourhood were being settled with English people by the Jephson family. With a view to the better understanding of the story, it will be necessary, in the first instance, to give a short account of that distinguished family, whose influence has so largely dominated the place for 300 years, and which is still happily represented in the direct line by Mrs. Jephson-Norreys, of Mallow Castle. As we have seen, Sir Thomas Norreys (or Norris) had obtained a grant of the manor, on its forfeiture by the Desmond Fitzgeralds. This illustrious man, fifth son of Henry, baron Norris of Rycote, was born in 1556, and took his degree of B.A. from Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1576. He adopted the profession of arms, and from the year 1579 was actively engaged in the campaign against Gerald, Earl of Desmond. In 1583, he was sent into Ulster against Hugh O´Neill, and in 1584 joined Perrott´s expedition to frustrate the designs of the Scots in Antrim. In 1585, Norreys became Lord President of Munster, and was returned as member of parliament for Limerick. In the year 1588, he was knighted by Sir William Fitzwilliam, and had a grant of 6,000 acres in and round Mallow, under the scheme for the plantation of Munster. The year 1594 saw the celebration of Sir Thomas Norreys´ marriage with Bridget, daughter of Sir William Kingsmill, of Sydmonton, Hants, by Bridget, daughter of George Rawleigh. By June, 1597, Munster was reported to have been reduced by him to tolerable quietness, and on the death of Sir John Norreys, his brother, he was appointed to the post of Lord President of that province.
