Riassunto

In his book “Donoughmore and All Around,” Richard Henchion states, “The personal name Radley and the placename Knockrour have been synonymous” for over two centuries. In 1586 the first Radley left England to participate in the Plantation of Munster. Entering Ireland as Adventurers, they soon established themselves as part of the powerful Protestant Ascendancy, intermarrying with some of the most illustrious families of their age (Leader of Mt Leader, Purdon of Ballyclough, MacCarthy of Dooneen, Barrys of Rathcormack to name a few). Covering a span of years from 1586 to 1916 and punctuated with family trees throughout, "The Radleys of Knockrour" provides an intimate portrait of the rise and fall of the landed gentry in Ireland.
