About the Book

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: County Laois (pronounced "leash" - Irish: ) is one of the twenty-six counties of the Republic of Ireland, and also one of the thirty-two counties of Ireland, located within the province of Leinster. Its name was formerly spelt as Laoighis and Leix. Laois is the 23rd largest of Ireland's 32 counties in area and 24th largest in terms of population. It is the seventh largest of Leinster's 12 counties in size and tenth largest in terms of population. The first people in Laois were bands of hunters and gatherers who passed through the county about 8,500 years ago.

Around 2500 BC, the people of the Bronze Age lived in Laois. They produced weapons, tools and golden objects. Visitors to the county can see a stone circle they left behind at Monamonry, as well as the remains of their hill forts at Clopook and Monelly. Skirk, near Borris-in-Ossory, has a Bronze Age standing stone and ring fort. In ancient times the O'Moore tribe name of Ui Laoighis was applied to their territory, this name being derived from a famous Ulster ancestor named Lughaid Laoighesach, descendant of a renowned Conall Cearmach chief of the Red Branch Knights of Ulster. The next stage is known as the pre-Christian Celtic Iron Age. For the first time iron appeared in Ireland, as factions fought bloody battles for control of the land. At Ballydavis, archaeologists have discovered ring barrows that date from this time period. By the first century AD, Laois was part of the Kingdom of Ossory. The county was divided roughly into seven parts, which were ruled by the Seven Septs of Laois: O'More (O'Moore), O'Lalor, O'Doran, O'Do...http: //booksllc.net/?l=d
