Baggotrath Castle
Baggotrath Castle, or Baggotsrath Castle, was a medieval castle situated at present day Baggot Street in Dublin city centre. It was built in the late thirteenth century. During the English Civil War, possession of the castle, which was described as "the strongest fortress near Dublin", was a matter of great importance to both sides to the conflict, and it was largely destroyed on the eve of the Battle of Rathmines. The ruins of the castle remained until the early nineteenth century when Dublin Corporation demolished it. No trace of it survives today, but it is generally agreed that it stood at the present 44-46 Upper Baggot Street, facing Waterloo Road.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''History of Dublin'' 6 Volumes Alexander Thom and Co. Dublin 1902-1920 Vol.2 p.42〕
==Early history==
The castle and surrounding district took their name from Sir Robert Bagod, the Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas, who purchased the lands about 1280 and built the castle. From the Bagods the castle passed to the Fitzwilliam family, who later gained the title Viscount Fitzwilliam. It passed to the influential English-born soldier and statesman Sir Edward Perrers in the early 15th century but later reverted to the Fitzwilliam family.〔Ball, pp.43-45〕
The castle was the scene of conflict in 1441 when Perrers' widow, to whom it had passed on their only son's death in 1428, died having appointed James Cornwalsh, the Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, as her executor. Cornwalsh took possession of the castle, a move greatly resented by Sir Edward Perrers' daughter Ismay who had married one of the Fitzwilliams. Her husband raised a substantial troop, attacked the castle, and according to the later charge "feloniously murdered" the judge.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921'' John Murray London 1926〕 The charge of murder makes it difficult to explain why Fitzwilliam and Ismay were soon pardoned, although the Government of Henry VI was notoriously willing to issue pardons, even for the most serious of crimes.〔Ross, Charles ''Edward IV'' Eyre Methuen Ltd. 1974〕
The castle was described as being in a ruinous condition in 1489 but was soon rebuilt and by the 1640s was said to be the strongest fortress near Dublin,〔Ball ''History of Dublin'' p.47〕 although the owners complained of substantial damage to their property in 1642.〔Ball, ''History of Dublin'' p.46〕
