Talk:Gilbert de Angulo

Footnotes

I find all the info etc about posting to be redundant , i have entered a few items but cannot call my grandchildren every time i want to post some facts about my family name. here are some more with refernces, i trust someone will follow up and get this on the site so when people look up this man they get the historic facts, not a made up pedigree for nefarious means. Gilbert De Angulo was a Cambro Norman, not an Anglo Norman. The Cambro Normans were the invasion force that came with strong bow in 1169 to 1171. hy were amost all from St Davids in Wales, and connected to the Famous Nesta, the Helen of Wales. She was the matriarch of all the geraldines, with 7 or 8 sons from 4famous men including King Henry 2- Fitzhenrys.

Here are my updated footnotes and facts:

Ormond deeds, 1172–1350, no. 2. For identification of these places Wiiliam De Angulo was granted as Tullow (County Carlow), Aghowle (County Wicklow), and Moyacomb (County Wicklow), see Flanagan, ‘Mac Dalbaig’, pp 10–11. 12 Jocelin de Angulo was enfeoffed in Navan and Ardbraccan by Hugh de Lacy, while Gilbert de Angulo, his son, received Machaire Gaileng (Morgallion): Song of Dermot, ll. 3141–6; Evelyn Mullally, The deeds of the Normans in Ireland: La geste des Engleis en Yrlande (Dublin, 2002), ll. 3140–5.

William de Angulo witnessed a charter of Adam, abbot of St Mary's Abbey, Dublin, alongside Strongbow, Raymond le Gros, and Jocelin de Angulo confirming land in Raheny (north County Dublin) to Vivien Cursun: Chartul. St Mary's, Dublin, i, 259.

William De Angulo also witnessed a charter of John, count of Mortain, 1189×99, alongside his brother, Gilbert, Jordan and Walter, granting Uí Máil to Res son of Philip: Ormond deeds, 1172–1350, no. 8.

He witnessed a very famous charter of John de Courcy as the king's justiciar in Ireland, dating this doc to 1183, the one year John De Courcy was Justiciar,  for the abbey of Navan alongside his brother, Gilbert: Eric St J. Brooks, ‘A charter of John de Courcy to the abbey of Navan’ in R.S.A.I. Jn., ser. 7, iii (1933), p. 89. Jocelyn De Angulo was the founder of Navan town and was the person that re eddified this Abbey to St Mary, another way the De Angulo were accepted by the Gaelic natives and local Chieftains.

William granted the tithes and ecclesiastical benefices of all the ‘land of Gillecuman’ to St Thomas's Abbey a. 1205: Reg. St Thomas, Dublin, p. 34. From the witness list and the location of the charter in the chartulary this land was located in Meath.

On 5 December 1207 King John ordered Meiler fitz Henry as justiciar to see that the peace negotiated between Walter de Lacy and William, Gilbert and Philip de Angulo ( another brother of William) was to be strictly observed: Rot. litt. claus., p. 98a; Cal. doc. Ire., 1171–1251, no. 363.

Between 23 May 1213 and 7 May 1214 William de Angulo gave the king 300 marks to have his land listed in Ormond deed 2 above,  in Ireland of which he was disseised at the will of Walter de Lacy; the justiciar was to take surety for the fine: Rot. oblatis, p. 479. The proffer of 300 marks is mentioned again in June–July 1215 under the rubric Hibernia in Midia: ibid., p. 551; cf. p. 553 where William de Angulo was claiming lands against Geoffrey de Costentin and others and proffered 400 marks and the king ordered the justiciar to provide an exchange for William.

At the same time Philip de Angulo proffered 10 marks to have his father's (i.e. Gilbert) land of Morgallion and Nobber: ibid. On 1 February 1215 the king ordered the justiciar to take a fine of 300 marks from those who held the lands for which Philip was offering 300 marks and to give him a reasonable exchange: Rot. claus., p. 186; Cal. doc. Ire., 1171–1251, no. 529.

On 30 July the king ordered that Philip de Angulo should have ten marks annually for the cantred of Roscommon, where he had built Rindown Caste and Abbey,  until an exchange was made for him: Rot. claus., p. 223a; Cal. doc. Ire., 1171–1251, no. 630.

On 13 September 1215 the king sent to Audeon Brun, Elias Haraud, and Gilbert de Livet a charter for the king of Connacht granting him the land of Connacht for a fine of 5000 marks and instructed that Philip de Angulo, " his der and faithful knight"  was to go with the charter to the king of Connacht, and collect the tythe owed; Rot. claus., p. 228b: Cal. doc. Ire., 1171–1251, no. 656. William's daughter, Alicia, was married to Jordan de Livet who granted lands outside the gate of the city of Dublin to St Thomas's Abbey: Reg. St Thomas, Dublin, p. 403.

Me again MacOisdealbh, with an interesting footnote re Gilbert De Angulo, MacGoisdealbh himself:

Confirmamus eciam eis ecclesiam de Archmulchane iuxta Boin cum capellis, decimis, obvencionibus et omnibus ecclesiasticis beneficiis ad dictam ecclesiam spectantibus qua habent de dono Theobaldo Walteri: Reg. St Thomas, Dublin, pp 6–7 (not recorded on the charter rolls; the text occurs in a section of the cartulary relating to holdings in the diocese of Meath).

English for latin above: Confirmed to St Thomas's in the same charter, between the Canons of Ardmulchan and Theobald Walter, (the founder of perhaps the greatest Irish Family, The Butlers, Earls of Ormond and Ormond Deeds record keepers in their Castle of Kilkenny,) was the church of St John, Nobber, and the church of St Patrick, Morgallion, of the gift of Gilbert de Angulo and Hugh de Lacy.

The date is significant since it was issued nine days after Walter de Lacy recovered his lordship of Meath on 5 July 1215: Rot. litt. pat., p. 148b; Cal. doc. Ire., 1171–1251, no. 612.

The terms of settlement between Walter de Lacy and the king for the recovery of Meath had been agreed on 29 June whereby Walter was to pay a fine of 4000 marks: Rot. litt. pat., p. 181; Cal. doc Ire., 1171–1251, no. 596; Rot. oblatis, 562–4, 601–03.

The feast of SS Peter and Paul (29 June) was subsequently considered as the date of the settlement: Rot. litt. claus., 1204–24, p. 224a.

This is very significant for Gilbert De Angulo, the original MacGoisdealbh, because the Annals all record him to have died in Cael Uisce Castle in 1212 or 1213.

At least the annals written after the 1500's do, but the earlier contemprary ones, annals of Ulster, Clonmacnoise and Boyle, do not record this event, again leading to my suspicison that the later annals were adjusted for certain sponsors families, to reflect their glory and this Norman families failures.

In fact the Annals of the Four Masters were adjusted by Brian MacDermot in the 1540's, and then again by the 4 masters themselves, the O Clearys, in 1630's in Belgium of all places. It was an adjusted annals that only took the name and its final form in 1645 when it was completed. The MacDermots were in fact bitter enemies of the MacCostelloes, and fought for the same area of the Barony of Costello.

I assume you can surmise who won that feud, based on whose name the area still has until today.

Another strange fact of the De Angulo Clan is that they were granted the area in Meath that the Ancient High Kings used for inauguration ceremonies for millenia, the Bru Na Boine area and Hill of Tara, the most important area in Ireland , even today.

Also, Navan Town is eponymous with Navan Fort, or Ard Macha, Armagh fort or town, another historically significant part of the Ulster Cycle of Irish Mythology, including Cuchulain, Queen Maeve, Cattle Raid Red Bull of Cooley, etc etc, that modern scholars say is a Astrological/Astronomical metaphor, as well as a history.

And eventually to have a Barony named after them in Mayo Roscommon border area, that is where Knock Shrine and the visitation of the Virgin Mary occured in the 1879, after this family endowed at least 5 abbeys named after St Mary, is again very coincidental if not just plain weird.

Never mind the fact that they even have a Barony named after them, no other Norman families do, and very few Irish Clans do. It also borders two Counties, Mayo and Roscommon, another very strange fact. This area has at least 15 Castles alone built by the MacCostelloe Clan , and sub clans, Waldrons, Mac Phillips, MacPhilbin, MacJordans. Never mind Nangles in Meath and Nagles in Cork.

Ballyhaunis St marys Abbey, Devish Island Abbey, Urlaur Abbey were all built by this clan as well.

Gilbert also was first Cambro Norman settler in Connacht 1193, Rathgorgan, East galway near Athenry, called Oldcastle today, Castle at Leitrim in East Galway Barony of Leitrim. Gilbert Was with John De Courcy when he conquered Ulster with 6 other knights and 300 foot soldiers/Welsh Bowman, and with JDC when they invaded Munster with Crovderg.

Gilberts son Richard settled the Blackwater/ Mallow district in Cork with De Cogan,, and William as stated in other talks was founder of Tullow Castle in Carlow Moyacomb and Motdicon in Wicklow, all in Leinster, so that all four provinces ,and all 5 if you condsider Meath a Province as they did in the 1170's, when they were granted land there, was affected by the De Angulo Clan.

More to follow, would love some feed back or at least a heads up if this is going to junk mail or some such, this is 40 plus years of research and i have not even got to the next generation of this family yet!!!

Thanks

Another outlier is our coat of arms, i have noticed that most if not all Norman families have three of the same symbols on their crests. MacGoisdealbh is three diamonds, called lozenges in Armorial rules. There is an obscure theory popularized by a Roslyn Chapel engraving of diamonds or lozenges representing lines of lattitude vis a vis the 4 points of rising of the planet venus at the four solstice moments in a year. Bru na Boine English Newgrange is designed to site venus" 8 year exact cylce, and to allow the winter sun into the chamber, similar to Egyptian Pharoh ascending to heaven on the sun beams of important days in their culture. The sha[e of the diamond formed is supposed to indicate the lattitude you are at, furthr north the fatter and shorter the diamond looks, lower attitudes the skinnier and taller. The Costelloe coat of arms diamonds are exactly the size they should be for Bru na Boine area that they were granted!!!! HMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

I cant make that up, i am a bricklayer sitting at a desk.

Nangle Costelloe Clan Family History

Costello family history hunt The Irish history and origin of the Costello family I am from October 09, 2019 HISTORY OF THE BARONS OF NAVAN

From "A Short History of the Nangle Family" By Lt Col Frank Nangle - 1986

There have been 23 Barons of Navan, starting with Jocelyn De Angulo in 1172/73 and ending with Francis Nangle who died in Vienna in 1781. The first Nangles to come to Ireland were Gilbert De Angulo, his brother Jordon and his son Jocelyn. They were members of a large force under Hugh De Lacy which accompanied Henry II of England when he came to Ireland in October 1171. One of the reasons for the King's coming to Ireland was to check the increasing power of Strongbow (The Earl of Pembroke). With that object in view he established Hugh De Lacy in the Earldom or Palatinate of Meath, with full sovereignty. Hugh De Lacy's territory corresponded to the ancient Irish Kingdom of Meath and comprised the modern counties of Meath and Westmeath as well as parts of counties Cavan, Dublin, Kildare, Longford, Louth and Offaly. Once established Hugh De Lacy proceeded to divide up his newly acquired territory into Feudal grants to his chief followers. To Gilbert De Angulo he gave the lands of Magherigalon, later to be known as the Barony of Morgallion in the north of County Meath. There Gilbert built the mote at Nobber which can still be seen today besude the R 162 road. Jocelyn was granted Navan and the adjacent lands of Ardbraccan. He built a large mote at Navan the remains of which are also still extant. Jordan De Angulo does not seem to have been included in the grants. It appears that at an early date he became involved in the turbulent affairs of Connaught where he established himself to become the ancestor of one of the families of MacJordan or Jordan.

There is documentary evidence of the first Gilbert De Angulo and his brother Jordan in a charter dated 1177 to which they were witnesses, granting the lands of Howth to Almeric, the ancestor of the St. Lawrence family. After that Gilbert fades out of the picture, although in some accounts he is confused with his grandson, also Gilbert. It is possible the first Gilbert returned to Angle after Jordan and Gilbert had established themselves in Ireland.

Jocelyn De Angulo, in addition to receiving grants of land also had on him conferred on him the title of Baron of Navan and became one of the ten palatinate Barons of the Pale. It was a title which was held by successive members of the family for the next six hundred years until the late eighteenth century. He was suceeded by his son Gilbert De Angulo, a very turbulent man who took service with Cathal Crovderg, King of Connaught. He is described by Prof. Curtis, the eminent historian, as an "aristocratic mercenary". Although he succeeded his father to become the 2nd Baron of Navan, he spent most of his time in Connaught and was continualy involved in raids and affrays both with the native Irish and against the Normans. He was the first to be described by Geraldus Cambrensis as having become "Hibernis ipsis Hiberniores" that is to say more Irish than the Irish themselves. He was outlawed in 1195/96 but was pardoned by King John some nine or ten years later, though he never recovered the forefeited lands of Morgallion. He was eventually killed in 1212/13 fighting at a 'castle', which was probably little more than a palisade, which he had built somewhere near Ballyshannon or Belleek on the border between Connaught and Tyrconnell. In the Irish annals Gilbert De Angulo was known as MacOisdealbh or MacGoisdelbh (i.e. son of Jocelyn) the name which was given to his descendants in Connaught. It was rendered back into English as MacCostello, which in time became Costello.

Jocelyn had a second son, Richard, who settled in County Cork, becoming the ancestor of the Nagles. So at an early stage the Nangle family was divided into three main branches or Septs namely the Nangles of Leinster, the Nagles of Munster and the Costellos of Connaught.

Tomco footnote [ My great grandfather Patrick Costello came from County of Cork]

Up to the middle of the thirteenth century Gilbert's successors as Barons of Navan, namely William, Philip, and Milo De Angulo were recognized as heads of the whole family including the Costellos and Nagles. After Milo De Angulo, the 5th Baron of Navan, however, the Costellos of Connaught became a distinct and seperate branch of the family, with Philip, a younger son of Milo, and his descendents at their head.

It is recorded that William De Angulo, 3rd Baron of Navan also held lands in Kilbixie in Westmeath at the beginning of the 13th Century. These lands passed to his successors down to John De Angulo, styled Lord of Kilbixie and Ardsallagh, 8th Baron of Navan. While his eldest son Barnaby De Naungle succeeded him as 9th Baron of Navan, his second son Walter De Naungle inherited the manor of Kilbixie in the 14th Century and became the ancestor of the Kilbixie branch of the Nangle family.

The early Barons of Navan not only maintained their lands in County Meath and continued their involvement in Connaught but also apparently kept up the link with Angle in Pembrokeshire. Philip, 4th Baron of Navan, is reputed to have visited his 'castle' there. There are still extant at Angle a small fortified tower and a "Norman" Columbarium which may be the remains of that castle.

The name De Angulo continued to be applied to members of the family until the first half of the 14th Century, the last Baron of Navan to be so described was John De Angulo, the 8th Baron. The next four Barons were designated De Naungle and it is not until the beginning of the 15th Century that we find Walter, 13th Baron of Navan referred to as Nangle, the name which is thereafter invariably used.

The early Barons of Navan were concerned with the founding or reviving of a number of religious establishments. The first of these was St. Mary's Abbey at Navan, founded in about 1189 by Jocelyn De Angulo, 1st Baron of Navan, on a site of an earlier Celtic monastry. A number of its Abbots were members of the Nangle family. Other foundations included a Chantry near Bective in County Meath and in County Mayo an Augustinian Convent at Ballyhaunis and a House of the Order of Predicant Friars at Urlaur, built by Philip De Angulo.

Although an unbroken succession of the Barons of Navan can be traced from Jocelyn De Angulo the first Baron of Navan at the end of the twelth century to Francis, the twenty third Baron, who died in Vienna in 1781, not a great deal has been recorded about their doings, particulary before 1600. It is, however, apparent that they continued to be embroiled in the fighting and raids which were all too frequent part of life in Ireland, particulary outside the Pale. Occassional glimpses of them and other Nangles are to be found in the records of the period. In 1328 a John Nangle was killed near Mullingar in fighting between a force led by Sir Thomas Butler and the local Irish under the MacGeoghegan. He may have been John De Angulo of Connacht, who was the grandson of Jordan, 7th Baron of Navan. More than a hundred years later another John Nangle, 16th Baron of Navan, and Richard Nangle, the Abbot of Navan, supported Lambert Simnel, pretender to the throne of England, who was crowned in Dublin in 1486/7. After that abortive insurrection they were among the chief men of Ireland who did homage to Henry VII before Sir Richard Edgecombe. He was sent to Ireland to restore the allegiance of those who had defected by supporting Lamber Simnel. This John Nangle is mentioned in the Book of Howth in an account of the Battle of Knoctoe in 1504, which states: - "MacSweeny struck Darcy such a blow upon the head that he put Darcy upon his knee; that Nangle, Baron of Navan, being a lusty gentleman, that day gave MacSweeny such payment that he was satisfied for ever after". Another Richard Nangle, who died in 1541, was appointed Bishop of Clonfert at different times both by Hanry VIII and the Pope. This appointment was the cause of much controversy and of his abduction by a rival. In consequence he never entered into possession of the see. In 1577 Patrick Nangle, 18th Baron of Navan, was imprisoned for a time in Dublin Castle for objecting to paying taxes.

Notwithstanding that little is known of the activities of the Barons of Navan during this period, a number of their marriages are recorded. These indicate that from an early date they allied themselves with families of influence both "Norman" and "Irish". For example in the thirteenth century Milo De Angulo, 5th Baron of Navan, married Eleanor daughter of Hugh De Lacy and their daughter, also Eleanor, married Aed Bui O'Neill, who assumed the title of King of all the Irish. Such alliances continued to be made and in the course of time the Barons of Navan became connected by marriage to many of the principle families of the Pale. One such marriage is of particular interest from a genealogical point of view, namely that of Sir Thomas Nangle, 17th Baron of Navan. Early in the sixteenth century he married Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of Jenico Preston, 3rd Viscount Gormanstown, and his wife Catherine, who was the eldest daughter of Gerald, 9th Earl of Kildare. Through this connection the descendants of Sir Thomas Nangle can claim descent from William the Conqueror and on through hios wife Matilda from the Emperor Charlemange. The details of this connection are given in volume II of "The Royal Families of England, Scotland and Wales", by John Burke, published in 1851.

No doubt as a result of some of these marriages the Nangles added to the lands originally granted to them. By the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries their holdings of land were very considerable and included Ardbraccan and Ardsallaghg near Navan in Co. Meath, Kilbixy and ballycorky on the borders of Westmeath and Longford between Mullingar and Longford and later the manor of Ballysax in Co. Kildare. The greater part, if not all these lands were forfeited in the confiscations of the seventeenth century.

The seventeeth century was a period of crisis not only for Ireland as a whole but also for the Nangle family and the Barons of Navan in particular. At the beginning of the century Peter Nangle, a Franciscan friar and younger son of Sir Thomas Nangle, 17th Baron of Navan, was in the train of the Great Hugh O'Neill. Peter Nangle is reputed to havebeen the tutor to two of Hugh O'Neill's sons and also to have been used by him as an emissary in his affairs. In consequence he was involved in the events leading up to "the flight of the Earls," in 1607.

His nephew, Sir Thomas Nangle, the 19th Baron, was implicated in the rising of the Irish Confederation and in 1641 was present at a meeting at Tara of the chief men of County Meath with the Earl of Fingall and Lord Gormanstown to consider the maintenance of the Irish Army. In the following year he was attained for High Treason and was explelled from the irish House of Commons, in which he was one of the two members for Navan. As a result he forfeited much of his property. By then Sir Thomas was sixty-two years of age and no more is recorded of him. It is not known if he died in ireland or went abroad, but it is clear that after him the barons of Navan ceased to be of consequence in Ireland, although their connection with Ireland was not finally severed for another three generations.

Sir Thomas was succeeded by his second son George Nangle, who became the 20th Baron of Navan. In about 1660 George Nangle married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Patrick Fox of Rathreagh, Co. Longford, who had also forfeited his property at the time of the Commonwealth. He died in 1676 and was followed by John Nangle, the eldest of his three sons, who became the 21st Baron while still a minor.

John married Christiana, daughter of Christopher Cusak of Rathaldron. The Cusaks were a Co. Meath family with which the Nangles became closely related through marriage over a period of at least three centuries. They, like the Nangles, traced their descent from one of the ten palatinate barons to whom Hugh De Lacy gave territorial grants in the twelfth century. John and Christiana had two sons and four daughters. Their eldest son Thomas was born at Aedsallagh, Co. Meath, on the 23rd December 1688. John Nangle was made Portrieve of Navan under James II's new charter. In 1691 he was attained. However there appears to be no record of his being involved in the Williamite war in Ireland, although several other Nangles served as Officers in James II's army. It is possible that he left Ireland shortly after the birth of his eldest son. There is however no record of when or where he died.

Thomas Nangle, who in due course succeeded his father to become the 22nd Baron of Navan, spent most of his life in France serving in the Regiment de Berwick of the Irish Brigade. In the archives of the Ministere de la Guerre in Paris there is an outline of his record of service, which also gives the place and date of his birth, and we are indebted to Mr. JL Garland for a copy of the relevant extract referring to him. He entered the French service as a Cadet when he was nearly twenty-four years of age, on the 6th November 1712 and was an officer in the Irish Brigade for the greater part of the next forty years. he did, however, spend a considerable time on the reserve both as a Lieutenant and later as a Captain. He is reputed to have been at one time in the train of James Francis Edward Stuart, "The Old Pretender" and to have been at Rothesay on the island of Bute in 1720 when his son Francis was born there. This could have been the case while he was on the reserve but that is a matter of conjecture. Who his wife was it is not known nor is it recorded whether or not he had any other children. In May 1745 he took part in the Battle of Fontenoy, in which he was wounded. Soon afterwards he was made a Chevalier De Saint Louis. The date of his death is not known but it was probably some time between 1752 and 1757.

His son Francis, at the age of sixteen, entered the Imperial Austrian Service, in which he acquitted himself with some distinction during the next thirty-five years. While serving as a Captain in the 4th Hesse-Darmstadt Dragoons he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Maria Theresa for his bravery at the Battle of Breslau in 1757 during the Seven Years War against Frederick the Great. Three years later he was wounded at the Battle of Torgau. He retired as Lieutenant Colonel in 1771, having previously assumed the title of Baron on the death of his father. Ten years later he died a bachelor in Vienna on the 10th October 1781, the 23rd and last Baron of Navan. MacOisdealbh (talk) 19:24, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Gilbert De Angulo and Cathal Crovderg

Anglo-Norman Relations with Connacht, 1169-1224

The dispute between the claimants to the throne does not seem to have resulted in open warfare, but Cathal Crovde slowly consolidated his position and secured general recognition In I193, the annals record the killing, by the English of Dublin of O'Mulrenin, lord of a small territory in the present county Roscommon. This incident seems to have been an isolated one and may possibly have been connected with the plundering of Inishcloghran in Loch Ree by Gilbert de Angulo (or Nangle), a Norman adventurer who seems to have been brought to Connacht in the pay of the supporters of Cathal Carrach.A He soon, how- ever, changed his allegiance, as Cathal Crovderg assigned him lands in Maenmoy (about Athenry), and de Angulo, who gaelicized his name as MacCostello (Mac Goisdealbh), followed Crovderg's fortunes to Munster in II95.6 1 AU, ALC, AFM. 2 AFM. 3 AFM, A.D.

Evidently his descendants were subsequently moved to south- east Mayo, as Fr. Paul Walsh points out, where a modern barony bears their name.

A Charter of John de Courcy to the Abbey of Navan Eric St. John Brooks The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Seventh Series, Vol. 3, No. 1 (Jun. 30, 1933), pp. 38-45 (8 pages)

The charter of John de Courcy, brought for transcription and certification by Richard Nangle, Abbot of Navan, before the Bishop of Meath in a certain lower room beneath the greater room of his manor of Ardbraccan on June 4, 1498, and which, on account of its fragility and age, could not without damage be sent to remote parts (presumably the English Chancery) may be translated as follows : To all Christ's faithful to whom this present writing shall come, John de Curcy, Justiciar of Ireland, greeting in the Lord. Know all that I, on behalf of the common council of the King in Ireland, have granted and by this my present charter confirmed to God and the church of St. Marie of No van and the canons regular serving God there all the lands which they held of the gift of the Irish before the coming of the English into Ireland, scil. the land of Novan in which the Abbey is situated, the land of Kel big Rathlogh, the land of grange foghyn and all the land which O'Roirke gave them beyond the river Mane, scil. the land of grange clagh and mothes morcorne Keregh, senbaly, Rath ne cham', ballybroc no rathdouen from ad negarve up to ad leeg, to have and to hold to them and their successors in pure and perpetual alms with all their appurtenances in meadows and pastures, moors and marshes, wood and plain, roads, paths, waters and mills, ponds and fisheries, gallows and duellum, churches and chapels, housebote and haybote, soc and sac, all liberties and free customs belonging to the said land, the better, more fully and freely as any alms can be confirmed with all tithes of the said lands. And that this my concession and confirmation may remain settled and lasting and undisturbed I have affixed my seal to this writing. These being witnesses Jordan de Curci, Roger de Quenci, Hugh Tyrrell the King's constable, 12Tn the margin.

At Drogheda, April 14, in the year 5 (sic) of the reign of King Henry. Date. In spite of the care taken by the Bishop, the Notary Public and other officials to collate copy and original they have unquestionably made a mistake in the date. Either 5 Hy. II or 5 Hy. Ill is an impossible date. John de Courcy was made Justiciar by Henry II in 1185 (Giraldus, v, 392). He witnesses, as Justiciar, a charter in which John, Earl of Mortain is mentioned (Cart. St. Thomas's, 383) which indicates a date not earlier than 1189. The date of the charter is therefore between 1185 and 1189 when Henry II died. If we take the 5 to be a mistake for 35, we should get the likely date of April 14, 1189. Navan Abbey. The main interest of this charter is in the fight it throws on the pre-Norman history of Navan Abbey. Archdall (Monasticon, 558) has no information about it before its foundation or reedification by Jocelin de Angulo, or Nangle, that knight of Strongbow's from Angle in Pembrokeshire to whom Hugh de Lacy (who had been granted Meath by Henry II in 1171) gave Navan and Ardbraccan (Orpen, " Song of Dermot," line 3144, note). Mr. Joseph H. Moore in his paper on Navan (Journal, xxiii, 1893, p. 55) thinks that, although there are some doubtful notices of an ecclesiastical establishment here before the coming of the Normans, " either no such place existed, or that it was utterly unimportant." On a later page (59), however, he says " there was probably a Celtic monastery in existence but . . . it cannot have been of any importance." This charter proves the existence of a Celtic monastery to which grants had been made by the Irish before the coming of the English, and in particular by O'Rourke. He is the well-known Tighernan O'Ruairc, lord of Brefni, the elopement of whose wife Dervorgilla with Dermot, King of Leinster, fired the train of events that brought the English to Ireland. He had, before the Norman invasion, extended his territory from Brefni south over Longford and far into Meath. In 1144 Turlough O'Conor divided east Meath between O'Rourke and Dermot McMurrough and in a fresh partition in 1169 O'Conor gave O'Rourke the eastern half, keeping the western half for himself (Orpen, " Ireland under the Normans," i, 52, 173). There has been some doubt how far O'Rourke's occupation of Meath was effective. But, if the places beyond the river Mane can be identified as in Meath, this Charter shows that O'Rourke had power to make grants in Meath to Navan Abbey before 1171 when de Lacy secured the county. The Witnesses. Jordan de Courcy, the first witness, was John de 42 ROYAL SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF IRELAND Courcy's brother, and was killed in 1197 (Roger de Hoveden, edn. Stubbs, iv. 25 and Annals of Inisfalien, 307). Roger de Quency was probably a relative of Strongbow's son-in-lawr, Robert de Quency. Hugh Tyrell was the well-known lord of Castleknock ; but I cannot recall another charter in which he is styled the King's constable. Roger Tyrell was probably his son of that name who is mentioned with his brother Richard in a charter of Milo le Bret (Lawlor's Calendar of the Liber Niger, no. 85) and as brother of Richard in an Ormond deed (communicated to me by Professor Curtis from his " Calendar of Ormond Deeds, Volume I). William de Angulo was a son of Jocelin de Angulo. He occurs in another Ormond deed, a grant to him by Strong bow and therefore before 1176. From his position among the witnesses he was, perhaps, an elder brother of Gilbert de Angulo, the lord of Morgallion, who also witnesses. Richard Maucheualer' and Jordan Malet I have not identified. Place-Names. For assistance with the place-names I have to thank Professor Curtis and the Rev. Paul Walsh, P.P., of Multy farnham. The possessions of Navan Abbey, as surrendered by Thomas Wafre, the last Abbot, on July 19, 1539, are given in an Exchequer Inquisition, of which the original is lost. But there is a precis made by Thomas Harding about the year 1815 for the Record Commission for Ireland (vol. 23, pp. 106-112, of the Calendar in the Public Record Office, Dublin). As the details correspond almost exactly with those given in the Fiants of Edward VI (no. 943, Feb. 4, 1551/2 ; 8th Rep. Dep. Keeper, p. 126) we may assume that we have here a complete record of the Abbey's possessions at the time of the Dissolution. Father Walsh has gone over the names and given the modern renderings ; and it will be sufficient to say here that the only places named in the charter which are found in these later documents are Rathlogh and grange ffoghyn. These are two of the places given in the first group of names. The third Kel big cannot be identified with any confidence ; for though there is a parish of Kilbeg in the Barony of Lower Kells, IIJ miles n.n.Av. of Navan, there is no evidence that it ever belonged to Navan Abbey. The inquisition taken at the time of the Dissolution includes a messuage, 110 acres of arable land and 4 acres of pasture in " le Grange juxta ffaghanhill " ; and " the Grange by Foghanhill " is mentioned as part of the possessions of Navan Abbey in 1541 [Fiants Hy. VIII, no. 252, 7th Rep. Dep. Keeper, p. 56) and in 1551/2 (Fiants, Ed. VI., no. 943). " The town of Graunge near Foughan-hiil," parcel of the monastery of Navan, was granted to Sir Anthony Savage in 1613/4 (Cal. Pat. Rolls, Ireland, Jas.

Joceline -de Angulo was the son of. Gilbert of The Angle in Pembrokeshire. Joceline held a large territory in Meath under Earl Hugh de Lacy. His eldest son succeeded him and was the ancestor of the Nangles, Barons of Navan. Sir Thomas Nangle 19th Baron was attainted after his part in the rising of 1641, when the family scattered, some joining Continental armies. The present family of Kildalkey descend from a younger son of the 17th Baron of Navan. The family of Nagle well known in Cork and Kerry descend from Richard younger son of Gilbert son of Joceline. The accompanying pedigree, necessarily condensed and possibly faulty in some detail, will explain the early distribution of the family. The origin of the Connacht family of Costello is interesting.

First Cambro Norman Settlers in Connacht

44 GALWAY ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETYThe Mote of Oldcastle and the Castle of Rathgorgin. By GODDARD H. ORPEN, M.R.I.A. In the townlands of Rathgorgin and Oldcastle, about four miles S.E. of Athenry, the remains of three fortresses, representing distinct types and belonging to different periods in the art of domestic fortification, lie within a few hundred yards of each other. They are, in brief, a rath, a mote, and a castle of stone and mortar. The earliest in point of origin?possibly far the earliest?is the rath or ring-fort of earth. It lies to the E. of the road leading from Dunsandle to Tallyho and Athenry, about 400 yards north of Rathgorgin Bridge.

I am inclined then to assign the original construc tion of the castle of Rathgorgin to some time not very long after the year 1237, " when," we are told, " the barons of Erin came into Connaught and commenced to build castles in it."? With regard to the mote of Oldcastle, however, it may well be that it belonged to a period earlier than the Conquest of Connaught by Richard De Burgh.** We know indeed few details of the earlier attempts of the Anglo-Normans in Connaught, when, about the close of the 12th century, the province was overrun by them more than once and under different leaders ;ff but it is at least plain that Gilbert de Angulo, one of Hugh de Lacy's feoffees in Meath, took service under Cathal Crovderg O'Conor in 1195 and was rewarded by him with a grant of the cantred of Maenmagh.

For joining Cathal in a raid into Munster, Gilbert was outlawed, and his lands in Meath confiscated, but he was afterwards, in 1207,

pardoned by KingJohn, and the cantred which he had obtained from the King of

Connaught was confirmed to him.*

Now the cantred of Maenmagh, which had presumably belonged to Conor Maenmhaighe

and his son Cathal Carrach, rivals of Crovderg, was situated about Loughrea. Its boundaries are given by O'Donovan, our best topographer, as follows : "It was bounded on the east by the territory of Siol Anmchadha (now the barony of Longford), on the south by Sliabh Echtge (now Slieve Aughtee), and on the west by the diocese of Kilmacduagh ; its northern boundary is uncertain ; but we know that it extended so far to the north as to comprise the townland of Moyode, as that place is distinctly mentioned as included in the plain of Maenmagh.

ante Vol. VIL, pp. 129-147. ff See Ireland under the Normans, Vol. II., c. XIX. Motte and Bailey there mentioned is about one mile S.W. of Oldcastle, and, if O'Donovan is right, we may regard Oldcastle as on the northern frontier of Maenmagh. In view of the fact that this type of fortress seems to have been generally adopted by the Anglo Normans elsewhere in Ireland, during the early period of stress and danger, and in Connaught to have been modified, or abandoned for regular stone castles, about a generation later, it seems probable that the Mote of Oldcastle was erected by Gilbert de Angulo,j or one of his feoffees about the close of the 12th century.

Gilbert De Angulo aka MacGoisdealbh was the first permanent Cambro(Welsh) Norman settler in Connacht, as shown in the Rathgorhgin/ Oldcastle Structures and article posted previously, structures that were in the north west corner of his land grant of Maenmagh, granted in 1195 from Cathal Crovderg.This was land belonging to Conor Maonmoy who was killed by his own people in 1190 Annals Four Masters. When the Mac Oistealbh, sons of Gausslyn, ie the MacCostelloes, attacked Inis Clotherian in 1193, the first appearence of Gilbert and the MacCostelloes in Four Masters, they were rescuing the hostgaes of Conor Maonmoy, that were his sons and challengers(TANISTS) to the Kingship of Connacht, due the the retirement to the Abbey of Cong by Ruardhr OConnor.

Summary, all this shows no such person as Hostilo or Costilo ever existed at all, also posted pedigree from the Article Vassals of the Earl of Ulster by HC Lawlor Historian, in the Journal of Ulster Archeology, showing decent from Gilbert. The same later writers, Ware, Carew, Cotton, Brian MacDermot Editor of 4 Masters, all were disparaging Gilbert and distancing the 16th Century Nangles, Barons Navan, fellow Anglo Irish Rulers, from descent from the rebel Gilbert and his MacCostelloe Clan, and it is why they made up Hostilo or Costilo as son of Gilbert. When in Fact Miles MacGoisdelbh. Builder of Athanchip Castle,in 1246 was considered the first MacGoisdealbh, Miles(Milo, Meyler) was son of Philip 2 son of Gilbert 1, and all were sons of Gausslyn, or Jocelyn De Angulo, First Baron Navan and founder of Navan Town.

Index of Names in the IrishAnnals, by Kathleen M. OBrien

Index of Names in Irish Annals: Mac Goisdelb / Mac Goisdealbh by Mari Elspeth nic Bryan (Kathleen M. O'Brien) © 2000-2015 by Kathleen M. O'Brien. All rights reserved. Version 2.1, updated 21 May 2015 Family Name: Mac Goisdelb / Mac Goisdealbh Background: Spellings: What we know as a set of Irish Annals are manuscripts that were each compiled during a particular time period, usually using older material as sources. For example, when the Annals of the Four Masters were written from 1632 to 1636, they covered events that occurred centuries and millenia before (including legendary history). So, when an entry in this set of annals refers to a person who lived in the year 738, the spelling used for that person's name is very likely not using the spelling that would have been used in 738. Standard forms of this name (based on spelling systems of different periods) would be: Early Modern Irish Gaelic (c1200-c1700) nominative form: Mac Goisdelb Early Modern Irish Gaelic (c1200-c1700) genitive form: Mac Goisdealbh Frequency & Dates: Number of people found in the annals with this name: 44 Found in Years: 1193, 1194, 1195, 1200, 1201, 1211, 1212, 1213, 1214, 1225, 1236, 1245, 1247, 1253, 1256, 1259, 1263, 1266, 1282, 1285, 1286, 1287, 1291, 1312, 1217, 1325, 1327, 1328, 1330, 1333, 1337, 1340, 1343, 1346, 1366, 1383, 1416, 1428, 1437, 1438, 1439, 1461, 1464, 1467, 1468, 1487, 1493, 1496, 1536, 1545, 1547, 1549, 1551, 1555, 1557, 1560, 1561, 1581, 1582, 1586, 11588, 1589 Research Notes: FM (vol. 3, pp. 98-99, footnote "k") states: The Sons of Osdealv, i. e. the Mac Costelloes. –- According to the Annals of Kilronan, the island of Inish Cothrann was plundered this year by Gilbert Mac Gosdealv, and his English followers, and the sons of Gilchdreest Mac Carroon, vis., Gilla Croichefraich and Auliffe, who had the tribe of Muintir Maeltsinna with them. According to the Dublin copy of the Annals of Innisfallen, it was plundered by Gilbert de Nangle; and this is correct, for De Nangle was the original name of the Costelloes. Woulfe (p. 397 s.n. Mac Oisdealb., Mac Oisdealb.aig.) states: 'son of Oisdealb.' (Os-shaped, shaped like the god Os); a patronymic surname assumed by the family of Nangle. It is the earliest Anglo-Irish Mac-surname recorded in the Annals (A.D. 1193).

That is, when there are multiple entries in the annals that refer to a single person, those entries are grouped together. Within the list of entries refering to a single person, I have sorted the entries primarily by orthography when it is obvious that what I am seeing is the same entry showing up in multiple annals. The entries that tend to use older spellings are listed first. Special factors which may affect name usage are marked in the context column. AN indicates a member of an Anglo-Norman family N indicates a Norseman R indicates a person holding a religious office S indicates a person from Scotland NOTE: The Annals referenced below under the code letters A, B, C, E, & F tend to use later spellings than the other Annals. In some cases, the spellings listed in these Annals may not be appropriate for the year referenced in the Annal entry. In some Gaelic scripts, there is a character that looks approximately like a lowercase f, but without the crossbar. This character (represented by an underscored , e, in the entries below) sometimes represents e and sometimes ea depending upon the context of the text.
