Trim Castle

Norman Keep, Trim Castle - before renovationTrim Castle, Trim, Ireland has an area of 30,000 m², it is the remains of the largest castle in Europe, which was Norman in origin, built primarily by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter de Lacy.

The central three storey building, called a keep, donjon or great tower, is unique in its design, being of cruciform shape, with twenty corners. It was built in at least three stage, firstly by Hugh de Lacy (c.1174) and then in 1196 and 1206 by Walter de Lacy. The keep was built on the site of a previous wooden fortification which was burnt down in 1173, following attacks by the Gaelic King of Connacht, Rory O'Connor.

The surviving curtain walls are predominately of mid 13th Century origin on the Dublin and Town Side, while on the River side, are almost completely destroyed.

Other building within the Castle Ground, include a very unusual circular Barbican gate in the Curtain Walls, serving as the 'Dublin' gate, a square gate house on the town side, called the Trim Gate, the outline of a mid 13th Century Great Hall, and a Mint.

The Castle was used as a centre of Norman administration for the Liberty of Meath, one of the newly created administrative areas of Ireland, created by Henry II of England and granted to Hugh de Lacy. He took possession of it in 1172, and would originally have appeared to have chosen the sea port of Drogheda as his caput. However, in 1174, following the destruction of the original castle, the newly refuburished Castle was chosen for this purpose.

The Castle site was chosen, as it is on raised ground, overlooking a fording point over the River Boyne, and although about 25 miles from the Irish Sea was accessibile in Medieval times by boat up the River Boyne.

Over the first two hundred years, Trim Castle was the centre of administration for Meath and demarcated the outer boundary of The Pale, however in the 16 and 17th Centuries it had declined in importance, except as an important Military site. After the Cromwellian wars, the Castle grounds were granted to the Wellington family who held it until the time of Arthur Wellesley, who sold it. In following years it passed into the hands of the Plunkett family, who held it until the 1993, when the state bought the Castle and began conservation and archaeoligical works on it.

The Castle is sometimes noted for the small part it played in the filming of the Mel Gibson directed film Braveheart. It is currently opened to the public. It is open everyday from Easter Saturday to Halloween (October 31st) from 10am, with first tour at 10.30am, last entry at 5pm and last tour at 5.15pm. In winter it is open only on Weekends, and Bank Holidays.

In the early 2000s the Irish Environment Minister, Martin Cullen, controversially ordered his officials not to oppose the erection of a controversial five story hotel beside the Castle. His actions were condemned by planners, officials and heritage bodies, many of whom had been critical over his government's treatment of other heritage sites such as Carrigmines Castle (which was bulldozed to allow the completion of a roadway) and Carton House, which had its house turned into a hotel and its eighteenth century grounds turned into two golf courses. The hotel, which is very close to Trim Castle, is nearing completion.

In 1272, Hugh de Lacy was granted the Liberty of Meath by Henry IIwho sought to limit the expansionist policies of Strongbow [Richard deClare], whom he feared might set up an independent Anglo-Normankingdom in Ireland. Soon after his arrival at Trim, de Lacy built awooden castle, the spike stockade mentioned in the "Song of Dermot andthe Earl"--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 burnedthe castle. By 1176, this wooden fortification had been replaced witha stone keep or tower. When the site was secure, the castle yard wassurrounded by curtain walls and moat with a simple gate and bridge tothe north. Analyses of samples of surviving structural timbers showthat the keep was extended in at least two more phases and remodelledin the lifetime of Walter de Lacy, Hugh's son. Later, fore-buildingswere built to protect the entrance to the keep. [Trim Castle VisitorsGuide, 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 underhis cloak and lopped Hugh's head off. His body was buried at theBective Abbey about 8 kms. from Trim Castle while his head was buriednear his 1st wife in Dublin. The Cistercian Monks of Bective Abbeyhad hopes that the possession of Hugh's body would give them rights toTrim Castle and the extensive lands associated with it. However theking took the castle and lands until Walter came of age, at which timeRichard I gave them to Walter.

Hugh is possibly Gilbert's brother rather than son.

"Much more is known of the actions of Hugh II than of any previousmember of
the family. He paid no scutage in 1164-5, so that he was probablypresent in
person on the campaign of 1165 from Shrewsbury into North Wales. Hewas in
Ireland with the king from October 1171, and remained there after theking
returned in April 1172. He was back in England by 29 December 1172,when he distinguished himself at the first public festival of St.Thomas at Canterbury. The archbishop was carried away by the occasionand expressed himself rather too strongly, only to be rebuked firmlyby Hugh II. In the summer of 1173 he was in Normandy helping to quellthe rising, and with Hugh de Beauchamp held the castle of Verneuilwhile it was being besieged by
Louis VII in July. He spent some time during the year in Ireland,where he
had acquired the old kingsom of Meath, so that from now onwards hespent a
good deal of time on the west side of St. George's Channel. In thesame
year he had been given the city of Dublin and its castle, a grantfollowed
five years later by his promotion to Viceroy. That post he held until1184,
although he had been deprived of Dublin castle for a short period in1181-2
as a penalty for marrying the daughter of Rory O'Connor, the last kingof
Connaught. At Durrow in July 1186 he had his head cut off by anIrishman
while he was showing him how to use a pick, according to the graphic
desctiprion in the chronicle of St. Mary, Dublin -- a commentary onhis
restless nature, apparently intolerant of inefficiency to the end."

Mide (Meath)
Mide (Midhe), "the middle kingdom," consisted of the present Counties of Meath and Westmeath, with parts of Cavan and Longford. It was one of the five early provinces of Ireland, and by 400-500 A.D. it comprised much of the territory of the Southern Ui Neill with its capital at the royal site of Tara, Ireland's first captial.
In 1172 Henry II bestowed Meath as an earldom to Hugh de Lacy, creating an English territorial nobility that lasted into the 17th century. The county of Meath came into existence in the 13th century. By the 14th century the territory of Meath was split down the middle by as a territory known as Trim.
As the English hold in Ireland deteriorated in the 13th and 14th centuries, only part of Meath remained inside the English Pale (territory) and under direct rule from Dublin. Following the 16th-century reconquest of Ireland, Westmeath was separated from Meath in 1541 and ultimately passed into the hands of English landlords. Meath's northern boundary, west of Drogheda, was the scene of the Battle of the Boyne (1690), in which William III defeated James II and asserted English Protestant rule over Ireland.
