Thomond: A Land of Rich History and Noble Kings in County Tipperary, Ireland Witness the coronation of Malachy, King of Thomond, as he fells the Munster coronation tree in 982, an illustration from Hutchinson's "History of Ireland." Fast forward to the 14th century, where King Richard II of England knights the kings of Connaught, Ulster, Thomond, and Leinster in 1394, as depicted in an engraving from "History of Ireland." The Irish Campaign of 1394 brought the Third Marquess to prominence, while the First Marquess held the title during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Step back in time and explore the historic town of Cahir in County Tipperary, where these significant moments in Thomond's history unfolded. From the ancient coronation tree to the knighting of the Irish kings, Thomond's rich history is a testament to its noble past.
