Description
"Ormonde Castle (Irish: Caisleán Urmhumhan) is a castle on the River Suir on the east side of Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary, Ireland.
Built before 1315, the original castle was acquired that year by the Butler Family—of whom James Butler would eventually be granted the title, 1st Earl of Ormonde.
The home remained a possession of the family, however, until the middle of the 20th century. In 1947, the house was given over to government conservationists, who took great pains to restore the historic structures."

I knew the Catholic, Desmonde. He was the loser in the struggle of the two great families. (Historically, that is.) There is no connection whatever to my picking up a copy of "The Prince" by Machiavelli. Was it Tallyrand or Santana who said, "Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it?"
