Kingdom of Thomond

Tuadmumu, the O'Brien kingdom of north Munster, created when Munster was partitioned with the MacCarthys of Desmond in 1118 (Treaty of Glanmire). Until the Anglo-Normans took Limerick (c.

1195) it held Clare, Limerick and north Tipperary; afterwards it was reduced to Clare and the lands west of the Shannon. Murchad O'Brien surrendered it to Henry VIII in 1543 under surrender and regrant.
