This book about the Gentry & Aristocracy of Meath is the 6th in the series and explores the background and history of 19 families.
The book is packed with detail and anecdotes and sets the family histories against the larger canvas that is the history of Ireland from the 12th century to modern times. The many illustrations are aptly chosen and many have been printed in book form for the first time.
Only 1000 copies of this book have been printed and so it is a limited first edition. It is a ‘must' for anyone interested in Meath history.
