2 unusual facts about Hugh Tyrrel


Hugh Tyrrel

Ball considers the story most unlikely, noting that Tyrrel was renowned as a benefactor, not a despoiler of religious houses: in particular he made a substantial grant of lands in present-day Phoenix Park to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, whose Irish house was at Kilmainham.

He was born in Hampshire, son of Hugh Tyrrel the elder, who held substantial lands in England, and was lord of Poix-de-Picardie in France.
