Walter de Lacy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter de Lacy (c. 1172 – 1241) was Lord of Meath in Ireland and Ludlow in Shropshire in the Welsh Marches.
[edit] Lineage
With his father Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath he built Trim Castle (Caisleán Bhaile Atha Troim in Irish), Trim, County Meath.
In 1211 he erected the castle on Turbet Island in the abortive Anglo-Norman attempt to gain control of West Ulster.
[edit] Family
- Son of Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath
- Brother of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster
- His daughter Egidia de Lacy (also called Gille) married Richard Mor de Burgh Lord of Connaught and Strathearn. The pedigree spawns from Walter de Burgh (d. 1271), Richard Og de Burgh (2nd Earl of Ulster) (1259-July 26, 1326) to Lady Elizabeth de Burgh the wife of Robert the Bruce.
