{"title":"Taaffe Irish Family Gifts \u0026 Heritage","description":"\u003cp\u003eTaaffe is a distinctive Hiberno-Norman name of Welsh-Norman origin, settled in counties Louth and Sligo and risen to the rank of Viscounts Taaffe and Earls of Carlingford — one member even served as a field marshal in the Austrian Empire. This collection gathers our Taaffe family crest gifts in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts Irish history is best described accurately: a long-established Irish family connection does not by itself make the surname a native Gaelic sept.

The woven blanket is the most substantial home piece where available.

The Taaffes produced the Viscounts Taaffe, a notable Irish peerage family, and supplied soldiers and statesmen to both Ireland and the Catholic powers of Europe.
