{"product_id":"the-chief-butlers-of-ireland-john-kirwan-9781788551748","title":"The Chief Butlers of Ireland and the House of Ormond: An Illustrated Genealogical Guide","description":"This is the lavishly illustrated and fascinating account of one of the most powerful families in Irish history, the Butlers, whose lives were defined by astounding opulence - up to 10 per cent of all wine imported into Ireland was destined for their cellars, paid for by the Crown. The Butlers were based at Kilkenny Castle for over five centuries, and at other seats including Nenagh, Cahir, Roscrea, Kilcash and Thurles. A vital new history for anyone with an interest in British and Irish genealogy and the dominant force of lineage over half a millennium, The Chief Butlers of Ireland and the House of Ormond is a comprehensive record of the lives of the Chief Butlers, Dukes, Marquesses and Earls of Ormond and their families, sumptuously illustrated with their original portraits. Also included is Kilkenny archaeologist Ben Murtagh's essential essay, 'Kilkenny Castle: An Outline of its History, Architecture and Archaeology'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Kirwan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788551745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788551748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Irish Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"John Kirwan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47759697871103,"sku":"9781788551748","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88502a43-9bcf-4822-b6ff-817e53a88af9.jpg?v=1765512825","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-chief-butlers-of-ireland-john-kirwan-9781788551748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
