<strong>Caledon</strong> - a brief history
Early history, up to the 16a century The fht record of the area is from 320 AD. The area within which <strong>Caledon</strong> is situated was known as the territory of 'Hy-Bruin Archoill', 'the clan of Brian of Archoill'. Later the name became 'Munth Bim', (nowMinterburn), or 'the country of Brian'. In the late mediaeval period it came under the lordship of a branch of the powerful O'Neills, one of whom, JohnBuidhe O'Neill is recorded in 1480 as having a castle at 'Kinard'. The CastIe stood on a rise dose to the present Cranogue House. It possessed strategic significanceand occurs frequently in accounts of battles between competing branch= of the O'Neills in the 1 5 ani ~ early 16hcenturies, conflicts wMch also involved Lord Deputy Kildare, a kinsman of one of these septs. In 1650he handed jurisdiction of the castle to his nephew, Turlough Luineach Oweill who, shortly after, passed it on to his brother,John. Unlike Turlough, who had 'residences' elsewhere,Johnlived in the Castle, establishing a stronghold for his descendants for the next century and a half. Sir Henry Oge O'Neill-the late 16" century In the latter years of the 1500s,Muntir Birn was under the lordship of one of its most able rulers, Henry Oge O'Neill, a son-in-law of Hugh O'Neill-the Earl of Tyrone-the most powerful of Ulster's Gaelic magnates. Because of his kinship to Tyrone and the location of his territory, Henry Oge was dragged into the Nine Years War, His allegiance was never wholehearted, however and by the early 1600s he had become a supporter of Queen Elizabeth. In reward for his services he was knighted and received a royal grant of his ancestral lands "at the rent of one horse and two spurs, or 40 shillings at election, payable at Michaelmas."
