Abstract (cited)

Norman dynasts who were awarded lands in Ireland have tended to be examined as the creators of novel aristocratic power blocks whose power derived from their military capabilities. In this paper, it is suggested that the early de Burgo leaders profited greatly from their progenitor’s marriage alliance with the daughter of Domnall Mór Ua Briain, king of Munster at the time of the Norman invasion. Careful reading of contemporary sources illustrates how the thirteenth-century De Burgos, like their Uí Briain predecessors, built up local power-bases in Limerick in ecclesiastical as well as secular circles and how such processes impacted on the careers of the wider kin-group of both families and on those they patronised.
