Situated near the Irish village of Malahide, 14 km north of city center of Dublin, is Malahide Castle, some of which date back to the 12th century. The Malahide Demesne Regional Park is made up of the more over 260 acres of parks that are still present. Beginning in 1185, the estate was given to Richard Talbot, a knight who traveled to Ireland with Henry II in 1174, along with the lands and harbour of Malahide. The earliest sections of the castle date back to the 12th century. The Talbot family occupied it for 791 years, from 1185 until 1976, with the exception of the years 1649–1660, when Miles Corbet received it from Oliver Cromwell following the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. Towers were added in 1765, during what is thought to have been a notable expansion of the structure during reign of Edward IV. The estate is also thought to have withstood tragedies like the Battle of the Boyne, in which the family of the owner lost fourteen members by the evening when they sat down for breakfast in the Great Hall, and the Penal Laws, despite the continued Roman Catholicism of the family until 1774. Airships from RNAS Anglesey in Wales used the grounds of the castle as a mooring-out base in 1918 during the First World War, when they performed anti-submarine operations in the Irish Sea. Prior to the end of the war, plans were in place to base airships here starting in 1919. Great-great-grandson of James Boswell, Lord Talbot de Malahide, sold the private papers of the famed author to American collector Ralph H. Isham in the 1920s after they were found in the castle. Since then, Yale University has acquired the documents, and it has released academic and popular versions of his letters and journals. It is also thought that Isham soon after discovered and bought a second cache. Eventually, the 7th Baron Talbot inherited Malahide Castle and its demesne, intending to give it to the state. Rose, his sister, who had lived there as a caretaker in the 1950s, inherited the castle upon his death in 1973. With regret, Rose gave the castle to the Irish State in 1975 in order to pay the unpaid inheritance taxes. Many of the items, most notably the furnishings that had been sold, had generated some debate. Partially some items were recouped from the buyers and were done by both public and private entities. #History #Architecture #Castles
