Lismore Castle
Guarding a strategic bridge over the River Blackwater and dominating the town, Lismore Castle, in County Waterford, has been occupied continuously since the twelfth century. Prince John's 'castellum' became the palace of the mediaeval bishops. This culminated with its tenure by the turncoat Myler MacGrath, a sort of episcopal Vicar of Bray whose dexterity (at one stage he served concurrently as both a Catholic and a Protestant bishop) was exceeded only by his corruption. He began his ministry as a Franciscan friar, was a bishop for more than fifty years and became the first Protestant Archbishop of Cashel.
