The Landed
Gentry and Aristocracy of Country Wicklow Volume One by Turtle
Bunbury
Turtle Bunbury s second book marks
the first volume in a series dedicated to exploring the background
of County Wicklow s Big House families. The book is packed
with exceptional detail and colourful anecdotes, pitching
the history of each family against the larger canvas of Ireland
and, indeed, of the world at large. Beautifully illustrated
with many rare and carefully sourced photographs, Turtle begins
with a colourful study of the Viscounts Powerscourts (Wingfield)
and their neighbours, the Earls of Meath (Brabazon) and Wicklow
(Howard). Also under the spotlight are the families of Acton,
Barton, Childers, Dennis, Dick, Ellis, Hume, Leslie and Tighe.
The many illustrations are aptly chosen and many have been
printed in book form for the first time.
Only 1000 copies of the book have been printed, making this
a limited first edition.

The Landed
Gentry and Aristocracy of Meath
Interpreting the
past can be a double-edged sword and it is always worth noting
where a particular author's loyalties might lie. There is
a growing awareness that history, good or bad, is made by
people, real human beings with real human conundrums. Perhaps
it is the influence of so many newcomers to our shores but
Ireland is gradually coming to terms with its past. And not
everything about it was awful.
Any family history that focuses on the bare, irreducible facts
of birth, deaths and marriages will quickly become unbearably
tedious to read.....

The O Callaghan
Family of County Cork: A History
This extremely
well researched history of a County Cork sept traces its origins
from Cellachán of Cashel, the progenitor of the Cork
O Callaghans, down to modern times.
Cellachán was the King of Munster in the middle of
the 10th century. Two great County Cork septs descended from
Cellachán, the O Callaghans and the MacCarthys.
It was not until the 16th century that factual detail began
to emerge and historians were able to get a clearer picture
of the territory occupied by the sept and the names of the
clan chieftains. At that stage the entire Gaelic way of life
had come under severe pressure and the land ownership was
passing into the hands of the adventurers, comprised of New
English and Anglo-Irish speculators...

The Landed
Gentry & Aristocracy of Kildare
Turtle Bunbury's
debut book, “The Landed Gentry & Aristocracy of Kildare”,
offers a unique and lively historical insight into eighteen
of Co. Kildare's most influential “big house” families. The
book features fifty illustrations and covers more than a thousand
years of Irish history. The families profiled are those of
Aylmer, Barton, de Burgh, Clements, Conolly, Guinness, Henry,
Fennell, FitzGerald, Latten, La Touche, Mansfield, Maunsell,
Medlicott, More O'Ferrall, Moore, de Robeck, and Wolfe. The
story of these often eccentric dynasties is set against the
backdrop of the past – the violent religious wars of the 17th
century, the rise of the British Empire in the 18th and the
run up to Irish independence in 1921

The Kavanaghs
Kings of Leinster
When launching
this book in Wexford, Jim Maguire said that it was a most
remarkable work of research and scholarship and must be ranked
as one of the most important books to have been written by
a Co. Wexford man in recent years. This book is packed full
of historical detail with copious references and a thorough
index. It deals, not alone with the Kavanaghs but with their
allies the O'Byrnes, O'Tooles, O'Moores, O'Nolans, Dorans
and Keoghs and their enemies the Colcloughs, Mastersons, Hartpoles,
Hearns, Wingfields, Carews, Wallops and Lees. This very readable
book is a must for all history lovers.

O'Nolan
the History of a People
Fr. John Nolan
died in the 1920s and Art Kavanagh was given the task of assembling
his material and research and adding to it, almost eighty
years later. The result is a marvelous treatise on one of
the very important Gaelic families of the Carlow/Wexford region.
The O'Nolans descended from a very old Gaelic tribe that is
probably the oldest in Leinster and may well have been in
the area for two thousand years before Christ. Art Kavanagh
traces the ancestry of a number of modern Nolan families right
back to the later middle ages. Just as in the Kavanaghs Kings
of Leinster there is a wealth of information about many Gaelic,
Anglo Irish and English families.
