RE: The Black Castle

If you're going to discreetly drink, there's only one tipple that's appropriate. Strongbow cider 😁

After all, it was Earl Richard De Clare (nicknamed Strongbow) who ruled that part of Ireland on behalf of Henry II and commissioned the various castles in the region !

Sort:  

It reminds me so much of the backstory of Game of Thrones, Mac Murrough took a bride from another lord in Ireland without permission, which caused a war that lost his Kingdom, and he had to flee to recruit an army with the intension of coming back to reclaim it.

Such an interesting piece of history, and a really cool monument.
