Robin Lawless, Anglo-Norman settler in Connacht, fl. 1248-Easter Sunday, 1260. ==Biography== Lawless may have been a member of the Lawless family of east Leinster, who were notable Anglo-Norman settlers in the south County Dublin/north County Wicklow area from the 1220s. The area between the town of Wicklow and Newcastle McKynegan was later known as ''Lawless County''. The Lawless family were of Welsh extraction, apparently tenants of the de Londres family of Oystermouth Castle, Gower. Lawless is first referred to in Connacht in the Annals of Connacht, ''sub anno'' 1248: * ''The sons of Magnus, and the son of Conchobar Ruad made a hosting and revolted against the Galls. They burned Mac Henry's castle and captured its warden and carried the preys of North Umall onto the islands of Clew Bay. Then Jordan de Exeter and John Butler and Robin Laigles and many others assembled and marched first to Ballintober and thence to Aghagower, and next day they plundered Umall, north and south.'' The same annal notes his death in 1260: ''Robin Laigles died on Easter Sunday this year.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robin Lawless」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
