Notities over Hugh de Lacy , Lord of Meath

In 1272, Hugh de Lacy was granted the Liberty of Meath by Henry II whosought to limit the expansionist policies of Strongbow [Richard deClare], whom he feared might set up an independent Anglo-Norman kingdomin Ireland. Soon after his arrival at Trim, de Lacy built a woodencastle, the spike stockade mentioned in the "Song of Dermot and theEarl"--a poem of the period.

De Lacy left one of his barons, Hugh Tyrell, in charge, but whenO'Connor, King of Connacht, threatened, Tyrell abandoned and burned thecastle. By 1176, this wooden fortification had been replaced with astone keep or tower. When the site was secure, the castle yard wassurrounded by curtain walls and moat with a simple gate and bridge to thenorth. Analyses of samples of surviving structural timbers show that thekeep was extended in at least two more phases and remodelled in thelifetime of Walter de Lacy, Hugh's son. Later, fore-buildings were builtto protect the entrance to the keep. [Trim Castle Visitors Guide,Duchas--The Heritage Service of Ireland]

-------------------------

Hugh was killed in Durrow while overseeing the building of a smallercastle. A man, who had gotten close to Hugh pulled an axe from under hiscloak and lopped Hugh's head off. His body was buried at the BectiveAbbey about 8 kms. from Trim Castle while his head was buried near his1st wife in Dublin. The Cistercian Monks of Bective Abbey had hopes thatthe possession of Hugh's body would give them rights to Trim Castle andthe extensive lands associated with it. However the king took the castleand lands until Walter came of age, at which time Richard I gave them toWalter.
