The Gernons held lands in County Louth and appear in the records of this strategically important county — on the border between the Pale and the Gaelic north — through the medieval and early modern periods. County Louth, the smallest county in Ireland, was nonetheless one of the most historically significant, sitting at the boundary between the English-administered Pale and the Gaelic Ulster world beyond. This Irish woven blanket features the Gernon family crest against the Irish National Tartan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gernon family of Louth were part of the Anglo-Norman landed community that shaped the political and social life of the Pale border counties. Their name appears in the records of County Louth from the medieval period, connected to the landed estates of the region and the complex border world between English administration and Gaelic Ulster. The county's position on this frontier gave its families — both Norman-Irish and Gaelic — a particular character shaped by centuries of border living, and the Gernon name is part of that distinctive Louth heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a woven blanket — the Gernon family crest and the Irish National Tartan formed within the cotton textile during weaving, not printed onto its surface.
