- Freynestown (Irish: Baile an Fhréinigh, meaning 'town of freyne') is a townland in the civil parish of Tiscoffin in the barony of Gowran, County Kilkenny, Ireland. Freynestown was anciently located in the Kingdom of Ossory and derives its name from the Cambro-Norman family of "de la Freyne.". The seeds of Freynestown’s origins were sown around 1171 following the death of Diarmait Mac Murchada the Irish King of Leinster, when his son-in-law Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke alias Strongbow became Lord of Leinster. In opposition Domhnall Caomhánach son of Diarmait, was proclaimed King of Leinster by the local Irish clan chiefs citing the ancient Irish Brehon Laws. However, despite intense opposition Strongbow launched a vigorous military campaign and commenced building fortresses, castles and towns. He also began initiating grants of land to his knights in exchange for military service.In 1192 William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, succeeded as Lord of Leinster having married Strongbow’s daughter Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke. He continued the process of land grants within the province and most of Ossory was shared amongst William's knights. (en)
