{"product_id":"griffith-surname-irish-heraldry-woven-blanket-4665624","title":"Griffith Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Griffith name in Ireland is a surname of Welsh origin — from the Welsh personal name Gruffudd or Griffith, meaning powerful lord — carried by families of Welsh and Cambro-Norman origin who came to Ireland as part of or following the Norman invasion of 1169. Welsh families were a significant component of the Norman forces that came to Ireland, and the Griffith name became part of the Irish record from the earliest years of the settlement. In Ireland, the name is most widely associated with the nineteenth century through Richard Griffith, whose Primary Valuation of Ireland — known as Griffith’s Valuation — remains one of the most important sources for Irish genealogy. This Irish woven blanket features the Griffith family crest against the Irish National Tartan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Richard Griffith, born in Dublin in 1784, was the Irish engineer and geologist who led the great valuation of Irish property in the 1840s and 1850s that bears his name. Griffith’s Valuation — the comprehensive survey of every landholding in Ireland, published between 1847 and 1864 — is an indispensable record for anyone researching Irish family history, listing the occupiers of every property across the entire country. The irony that a man named Griffith created the definitive record of Irish family history is not lost on those who trace the Welsh-Irish roots of the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Griffith family crest and the Irish National Tartan integrated into the textile structure during weaving, not printed onto the surface.
