Composed by O'Carolan in honor of the young 4th Earl of Inchiquin,<br> William O’Brien (1694-1777), who became Grandmaster of the Freemasons<br> of England in 1726. The family seat was in Dromoland Castle,<br> Newmarket-on-Fergus, County Clare, which remained until 1962 in the<br> hands of the Lords Inchiquin (it is now a high-end resort).<br> Baron Inchiquin is one of the older titles in the Peerage of Ireland.<br> It was one of two titles created on 1 July 1543 for Murrough O'Brien,<br> Prince of Thomond, who was descended from the great high king Brian Boru).<br> The grant of the English titles was conditional upon the abandonment<br> of native titles, the adoption of English customs and laws, pledging<br> of allegiance to the English crown, apostasy from the Catholic Church<br> and conversion to the Anglican Church. Murrough was made both Earl of<br> Thomond in the Peerage of Ireland, with remainder to his nephew<br> Donough O'Brien and Baron Inchiquin, with remainder to his male heirs.<br>
