County Desmond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (371 words)
The term "Desmond" was used after the 14th century to refer to the territory of the Gaelic Irish MacCarthy Mor chieftains, who claimed to be the Kings of Munster and to the lands of the Earl of Desmond.
County Desmond refers to the territory of the Earls, which stretched from the Dingle peninsula in the west to Cashel in the east, north of the MacCarthy lands.
This led to the Desmond Rebellions of 1569-73 and 1579-83.
