The Lion, the Pheon, and the Red-Handed Succession of St. Mullins 1511-1852
The Historical Account of the House of Sliocht Diarmada Laimhdeirg
The Lion, the Pheon, and the Red-handed Succession of St. Mullins (1511–1852) traces over three centuries of history, following the descendants of Diarmuid Lámhdearg Kavanagh, whose heirs dominated the parish of St. Mullins. From its origins in late-medieval Ireland, the study moves beyond Carlow, Kilkenny, and Wexford to trace how this lineage intersected with political and cultural networks across France, Spain, and the Holy Roman Empire.
More than 1,700 names appear in its pages, carefully reconstructed from a wide range of sources: registered deeds, baptismal entries, estate papers, and early genealogical manuscripts. The result is the most detailed portrait yet assembled of this branch of the MacMurrough Kavanagh dynasty and the extended kinship ties that shaped their world. Special focus is given to the Forstall family, highlighting their enduring place within the wider tapestry of inheritance and alliance.
Families explored in depth include: Kavanagh of St. Mullins, Ballyleigh, Borris, and Carrigduff; Forstall or Forrestal of Ringville, Kilferagh, and New Ross; and Houghton of Ballyanne and New Ross.
Additional mention is given to: Fogarty of Drummin and Ballynabanoge; Butler of the Rower; Kehoe or Mac Eochaidh of Ballyleigh, Marley, and Nash Castle; Jordan of Wexford and Carlow; Lawlor of Knockmore, Mullennagaun, and Mohullen; and Ryan of Curraun.
