Annaly

Annaly is an Irish lordship and former principality, named for its conqueror Angaile, or An Uillin, ancestor of the Ó Fearghail.

By the 15th century, the tribe regained complete control and had divided into the North Angaile ruling White Ó Fearghail (Irish orthography: Uí Fhearghail Bán) and the South Angaile ruling Yellow Ó Fearghail (Irish orthography: Uí Fhearghail Buí).

After the tribal Gaelic Order had been shattered, many members of the clan became tenants of their old land with English and Scottish landlords.

[2] Lord Delvin was also granted the abbey lands of the island of Inishmore or Inchemore in County Longford where the famous St. Columb lived before leaving to convert the Scots.

[citation needed] The first creation came in the Peerage of Ireland in 1766 when the lawyer and politician John Gore was made Baron Annaly of Tenelick in the County of Longford.

He had previously represented Jamestown and County Longford in the Irish House of Commons and served as Solicitor-General for Ireland from 1760 to 1764.

The second creation came in the Peerage of Ireland in 1789 when Henry Gore was created Baron Annaly of Tenelick, in the County of Longford.

[6] King James I also granted to Lord Baron Delvin the Island and monastery of Inchemore, otherwise Inismore, in the Annalie.
