Oriel
Oriel (Oirghialla) emerged from the contraction of the northern territory of Airgialla between the 5th and 12th centuries. By this latter date Oriel, ruled by the MacMahon lords, comprised the sub‐kingdom of Fernmag (modern Co. Monaghan) and the territory of modern Co. Louth. During the Anglo‐Norman invasion Louth was conquered and later shired as the county of Uriel within the Pale. Attempts to settle Fernmag itself were unsuccessful, although the MacMahons nominally leased the lesser lordship of Farney from the crown. In the later medieval period the MacMahons reasserted many of their former claims of lordship. From the late 14th century they exacted protection money (see black rent) from the English of Louth, and by the late 15th century had reconquered northern Louth. Succession disputes split the cohesion of the MacMahon lordship and after 1513 the lesser lordships of Dartry and Farney were ruled by minor branches. In 1592, crown government settled Oriel as Co. Monaghan.

oriel
oriel , projecting or bay window in an upper story, supported on brackets, corbels, or an engaged column, usually polygonal or curved in plan. It is most characteristic of the late medieval and early Renaissance period in England, where it was a favorite feature in civic and domestic buildings, but it is also found in France and Germany during the same period. The term is often loosely but incorrectly applied to any bay window. |
