Castle Davenant it was called, although it had long since ceased to\u003cbr\u003ebe defensible; but when it was built by Sir Godfrey Davenant, who came\u003cbr\u003eover with Strongbow, it was a place of strength. Strongbow's followers\u003cbr\u003edid well for themselves. They had reckoned on hard fighting, but the\u003cbr\u003eIrish were too much divided among themselves to oppose any serious\u003cbr\u003eresistance to the invaders. Strongbow had married the daughter of Dermid,\u003cbr\u003ePrince of Leinster, and at the death of that prince succeeded him, and\u003cbr\u003ethe greater portion of Leinster was soon divided among the knights and\u003cbr\u003emen-at-arms who had followed his standard. Godfrey Davenant, who was a\u003cbr\u003efavourite of the earl, had no reason to be dissatisfied with his share,\u003cbr\u003ewhich consisted of a domain including many square miles of fertile land,\u003cbr\u003estretching back from the seacoast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere for many generations his descendants lived, for the most part taking\u003cbr\u003ean active share in the wars and disturbances which, with scarcely an\u003cbr\u003einterval of rest, agitated the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe castle had continued to deserve its name until forty years before the\u003cbr\u003etime this story commences, when Cromwell's gunners had battered a breach\u003cbr\u003ein it, and left it a heap of smoking ruins. Walter Davenant had died,\u003cbr\u003efighting to the last, in his own hall. At that time, the greater part of\u003cbr\u003ehis estate was bestowed upon officers and soldiers in Cromwell's army,\u003cbr\u003eamong whom no less than four million acres of Irish land were divided.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079361708272,"sku":"2940013252875","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013252875_p0.jpg?v=1763578795","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013252875","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
