I live in Athy and the history of the area is mostly blood letting by the Empire. The first field on the right as you enter the town from the Dublin side is called Gallows hill for that very reason. I am of the clan O Moore. Our family history is buried locally detailed back 100s of years.
@MXWELDER I lived in Athy for many years I am a Lawlor and I am from Dublin I have a special place in my heart for Athy and her people as they were very good to me especially being a Dub . There is a great book you might be interested in it called from Laois to Kerry it gives the history and follows the spets when they were transported to Kerry . Yes the O'Moores where indeed the leading sept they had great Hero's Like Rory O'Moore he have the Tudors hell The fighting must have never left them as one of the biggest faction fights recorded was between the Lawlors and the coolings on bellybunion strand where many of the coolings and mulvihills lost their lives
There is a story in my family about the massacre that one of our relatives was killed at Mullaghast and because he was only a distant family member of the Irish nobility that was invited but was living with the nobleman as an adopted son and was an aide that helped carry out the delivery of important information from one noble man to another, I'm not sure how true any of it is but I live in Colorado and grew up hearing about this story and the story of the Catalpa Rescue.
They did the same to the Scottish nobles. Invited them all to a feast and strung them up from the rafters after they arrived, one by one. Pretty vicious. What happened to all the bodies from the massacre? Were they buried onsite or elsewhere? It would be worth doing the archaeology of the area.
My own Clan the O'Lawlors were killed there it was a Lawlor clansman that drew his sword and fought his way out the only one to survived to bring the news to the rest of the clan and their kinsmen the O'moores in revenge they burned the town of Naas and eventually got revenge at the pass of the plumes were they attacked and killed many English under lord Essex. We never forget the O'Dempseys who sided with the English and betrayed theor countrymen at Mullaghmast. Sidney was later killed at the battle of Glenmalure county wicklow by Fiach Mchugh O'Byrne who was married an O'moore woman . The rest of the clans people of liex that weren't killed in the massacre of Mullaghmast went and fought alongside Fiach O'Byrne at Glenmalure

Probably a little whiskey and a woman involved...😂😂😂
I am also from the O Moore clan. My grandfather is John Moore, he grew up in Mullaghmast, and went to school in Athy.

Just to note in the 1570's, its not "the British", it's "the English". Scotland is a completely separate country at that stage.
Must say I really enjoyed the video. A wonderful site, I knew very little about and an incident I knew nothing about. Thanks for uploading.
