Decies

The Oxford Companion to Irish History | 2007 | Copyright

Decies. The Déisi Muman were a division of the Déisi who by the 8th century had established a kingdom in what is now Co. Waterford and south Co. Tipperary. King John granted the territory to Thomas fitz Anthony, from whom it passed to the Fitzgeralds of Desmond. James, 7th earl (d. 1462), granted Decies to a younger son. Later FitzGerald lords of Decies sought to preserve their independence from their powerful Desmond cousins by allying themselves with the Ormond Butlers.

Decies. Anglicized name for a region in medieval Ireland, roughly coextensive with western Co. Waterford; named for the early Irish people, the Déisi. One early record proclaimed that Decies ran from the River Suir to the sea and from Lismore to Credan Head. The area has also been known as Power Country as it was settled by the Power or de Paor family.
