Morgallion


Morgallion is one of the baronies that comprise county Meath, Ireland.
In 1172 King Henry II of England granted the Lordship of Meath to Hugh [de Lacy, Lord of Meath|Hugh de Lacy] to hold as King Murrough O Melaghlin held it. Once established de Lacy proceeded to divide up his newly acquired territory into feudal grants to his chief followers. He granted the territory of the Gaileanga-Mor sept to Gilbert de Angulo, who had arrived from Wales in 1171. The caput of the barony was at Nobber where de Angulo constructed a Motte close to the site of an earlier ecclesiastical site.
