Tugann an taispeántas seo, a ndearna an Dr Jane Fenlon taighde agus coimeád air, ar ais sinn go dtí na meánaoiseanna, tráth a raibh Éire chomh fite fuaite le saol na hEorpa agus atá sí inniu. Tá sé mar aidhm ag Líonra Chill Chainnigh ár n-eolas ar iarlaí Ormonde luatha, a dteagmhálacha cúirte, a dtábhacht ar an ardán idirnáisiúnta, agus a bpátrúnacht ar na healaíona a leathnú
This exhibition also looks at some of the major historical figures who formed part of the Ormondes’ extensive network during the period. To mention but a few, these figures include Elizabeth I of England, Cardinal Wolsey, Anne Bolyen and Katherne Parr.
The Kilkenny merchants were also of vital importance, playing a part in the financial and legal affairs of the earls of Ormonde, often as merchant bankers. Forming a civic oligarchy, they had a pivotal position in the development and enrichment of the town through engagement in trade with major British and European ports.
