History
Fassadinin was part of the medieval Irish kingdom of Osraige. It was the territory of the Irish clan Uí Duach. In 1358 this Barony was known by its ancient name the "Cantred of Odoth".[4] The earliest reference to the barony was is 1587 where it was described as the barony of "Fasaghdenyn and Idoghe".[4]
In Edmund Ignatius Hogan's "Description of Ireland, in anno 1598" it was the barony of "Fasagh, Denny, and Idogh"[11] and the constables were of the barony of "Fasagh de Myn and Odoghe" or "Fasaghdenya and Odoghe". Fassadining was recorded in the Down Survey (1656),[12] the 1840 Ordnance Survey Map[13] and on Griffith's Valuation (1864).[14]
In 1247 Geoffrey de Fraxino (de la Freyne) held a quarter Knight's fee at Kilmenan in the barony of Fassadinin held previously by a Walter Purcell.[15] The 1608 constables were Robnett Purcell of Foulksrath and William O'Brena of Ballyhomyn (Ballyhimmin).[4] The early families recorded included O'Brena of Rathcally, Purcell of Esker, Purcell of Lysmayne, O'Brena of Uskertye, Farr McDonnogh of Croghtoncle, and Duffe of Crint.[11] The Wandesfords were based in Fassadining.[16] Foulksrath Castle is located in Fassadinin.[17]
Parts were in the Poor law unions of Castlecomer, Kilkenny, and Urlingford.[2]
