Description:
Prior to the Cromellian plantations of the latter 17th century, the landowners in County Kilkenny largely consisted of the Old English families who arrived in the wake of the Cambro-Norman invasion in the late 12th and 13th centuries. A third of the lands were in the hands of the Butler dynasty which included the Earl of Ormond.
