Lixnaw
Lixnaw ()〔http://www.logainm.ie/?text=Lixnaw〕 is a village in North County Kerry, Ireland. It is located near the River Brick SW of Listowel and NE of Tralee. == History == Lixnaw was once the seat of the Fitzmaurice family, the Earls of Kerry. In 1320 Nicolas, the third baron of Lixnaw, erected the Castle of Lixnaw, built the old bridge, and improved the village. In 1600 Sir Chas. Wilmot and his forces garrisoned the castle and established it as their centre of operations. It was subsequently re-taken by Lord Kerry who entrusted its defense to his brother Gerald, who was eventually forced to surrender the castle due to a shortage of water. Today, nothing remains of the Castle of Lixnaw. An interesting point about the Earls of Kerry is that one of the descendants William Petty, 2nd Earl of Shelburne, who was born in Dublin but was largely reared in Lixnaw (except when he was in Eton), became British Prime Minister of Britain in 1782. Later Lansdowne Road was named after him and it became the common name for that great rugby stadium in Dublin. Lixnaw is situated near the River Brick over which there were originally two stone bridges, from which the village got its name.
