{"title":"Dillon Irish Family Gifts \u0026 Heritage","description":"\u003cp\u003eDillon in Ireland is first an Anglo-Norman name, written \u003cem\u003eDíolún\u003c\/em\u003e in Irish and \u003cem\u003eDíolmhain\u003c\/em\u003e in older spelling.

Three peerages grew from the family: Viscount Dillon of Costello-Gallen in County Mayo and Earl of Roscommon, both created in 1622, and Baron Clonbrock in County Galway in 1790. In 1688 Theobald, 7th Viscount Dillon, raised regiments for James II, and his son Arthur landed at Brest with Dillon’s Regiment on 1 May 1690; the regiment was still in French service at Fontenoy in 1745. In 1842 John Blake Dillon co-founded \u003cem\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/em\u003e, and his son John Dillon led the Irish Parliamentary Party in 1918.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range sets the Dillon family crest on the Irish National Tartan across a woven cotton blanket in three sizes, a lighter printed throw, an 11oz accent mug, a House of Dillon garden flag and a silver-tone framed Christmas ornament.
