A Big thank you to Ber from Max .
Your wonderful painting will be displayed with great pride

Hi Mark Emer & Martin
Ber Murphy here this may seem a little random and out of the blue but hopefully not weird or unwelcome.
Here's the Scéal
I follow the Mullicháin Cafe Facebook page and love to see your shiny Happy faces popping up every now and again .One day,however,a more hairy face showed up.
I have a bit of a grá for painting dogs and am always on the look-out for interesting doggy faces.
Truth to be told i was in a bit of a painting slump and needed a kick start and Max's adorable face provided inspiration"straight away.
Anyway,I was cleaning out my painting space last week and decided he needed a home,so here he is.I hope you all like it .Ye can always hide it down the back of the sofa if ye don't.i'll never know where he is .

The Viking Raids on St Mullins

The Normans Arrive in St Mullins

The Normans arrive in St Mullins

A Norman army of 200 Knights ,Welsh archers and foot soldiers arrived in St Mullins in 1169, under the command of Maurice De Prendergast .

  Maurice was a Flemish knight sent to Ireland by Strongbow one year ahead of the arrival of the main Norman invasion to assist Diarmait Mac Murchada King of Leinster regains his kingdom

The deal was that Maurice was to receive a lordship for his troubles. However Diarmait was happy just to use the Normans as mercenaries giving nothing in return. Diarmait’s son set out to destroy Maurice’s troops but he was afraid to engage them in a full battle as the Normans were heavily armed and a much superior force.

Maurice sent messengers to Domnall Mac Gilla Patric the Irish chieftain of  Osraige( Co Kilkenny) to form an alliance. They arranged to meet at the round Tower in St Mullins to swear a treaty at the Altar of St Moling.

 Maurice De Prendergast  was known as “the Faithful Norman”for his defence of Domnall when his uncle Harvey de Fitzmaurice  attempted to kill the Kilkenny chieftain  and  take over Ossary
