Maurice tenth Earl of Desmond died at Tralee
Tralee · townland · Kerry · 1520
Maurice, the lame tenth Earl of Desmond known as Vehiculus and Bellicosus, died at Tralee in 1520 and was buried in the Dominican Convent of that town.
Read the passage
He died at Tralee in the year 1520, and was buried in the Dominican Convent of that town. With the death of Maurice we now close the secular portion of this history, having brought it down to the eve of the Reformation, the limit which we had marked out for ourselves. The country portions of the diocese in this, as in the preceding century, had very little respect for law and order. Most of the towns were fortified, and in that way enjoyed partial security from the incursions of hostile visitors. Towns such as Ballingarry, situated in remote parts of the country without walls, were at the mercy of hostile neighbours. And to safeguard their lives and property, Henry IV, in the year 1408, granted to the Bailiffs and Commons of Ballingarry, certain customs to enable them to build a wall round the town, the greater part of which had been destroyed by the Irish foe and English rebel.
Towards the close of this century, Kilmallocki suffered much from the same class of enemies, and had to seek the protection of the Government. In the year 1482, the

Infant Cummian Foda found at Killeedy
Killeedy · parish · Limerick
Cummian Foda, son of the King of West Munster, was abandoned as an infant in a basket near St. Ita's monastery at Killeedy. The nuns found him, took him under their care, and named him Cummian after the basket.
Read the passage
Cummian Foda (tall), the most learned scholar of the Irish Church in the seventh century, also received his «arly training at St. Ita’s monastery.1 He was the son •of Fiachna, King of West Munster, and shortly after his birth was exposed in a small cummian, or basket, near the monastery. When the nuns found the child thus abandoned they took him under their care, and called him Cummian, as he was found in a basket.
After spending his youth at Killeedy, he went to the great school at Cork, founded by St. Finnbarr. He took a leading part in the Paschal question, and wrote an epistle of great learning in favour of the new method of •computing Easter time, which he addressed to the Abbot of Iona. This remarkable letter not alone shows the great scholarship of the author, but also the high standard of efficiency that the Irish schools had reached at this period.

930. Yet another fleet of Danes, led by Ivar and his three sons Dubhcenn (Blackhead), Cu Allaidh (Wild Hound), and Aralt, or Harold, landed at Inis Sibhton, and seemed to act in concert with Tomar’s party, as both lived on the island together, apparently in peace and good fellowship. Ivar’s party showed themselves eager to possess “ the pure smooth-plained sweet grassy land of Erin.” They plundered Munster, and organized a body of tax-gatherers, whom they billetted in every house,

Killeedy church choir burned by Whiteboys
Killeedy · parish · Limerick · 1800–1820
St. Ita's monastery at Killeedy was repeatedly plundered by the Danes, but its church survived. The choir was fitted up as a Protestant church and used until it was burned down by the Whiteboys in the early 19th century.
Read the passage
The choir was modernized and fitted up as a Protestant church and used as such, until about the beginning of the last century, when it was burned down by the Whiteboys. The nave is in the primitive Irish style, and in all probability a part of the ancient church of St. Ita. The west gable is levelled with the ground. O’Donovan states that when he visited the place he met some people who saw part of it standing, and who described the doorway as having been constructed of concentric arches. The side walls of the nave are 3 feet thick, and built of large stones well cemented with mortar.
The choir arch is in a good state of preservation, but contains no feature of the ancient work. The grave of St. Ita is pointed out at the Epistle side of the churck where the nave and choir-arch walls meet. In summer
