It began as an early Christian monastic settlement. St. Patrick established a bishopric here about 450 AD, which he placed in the care of St. Cianan on November 24, 489. The place was sacked several times by the Norsemen between 830 and 1149 and was also pillaged by the Anglo-Normans in 1171. In April 1014 the bodies of Brian Ború and his son lay in state in Duleek on their way to Armagh. The 12th century saw the reconstitution of the original monastery as St Mary’s Abbey.
