Hussey Irish Woven Blanket | Lords of Galtrim Tartan Throw

The Hussey name in Ireland is a Norman-Irish surname of distinction, the family lords of Galtrim in County Meath — one of the ancient baronies of the Pale, a territory held by the Hussey family as hereditary lords through the medieval period. The Husseys were among the established Norman-Irish gentry of Meath, a county that was at the heart of the English Pale and the administrative world of Anglo-Norman Ireland. This Irish woven blanket features the Hussey family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a County Meath Norman-Irish heritage of genuine historical depth.

History & Heritage

The Husseys of Galtrim were barons of Galtrim, their lordship centred on the fertile land of the Meath plain — some of the richest agricultural land in Ireland, fought over by Gaelic, Viking, and Norman dynasties since the earliest centuries of Irish history. The family held their territory through the medieval period and remained a recognised name in the Meath Pale world through the early modern period. The Hussey name also appears in Munster and other provinces, reflecting the spread of Norman-Irish families across the island. Today the name is found across Ireland and among the Irish diaspora, always carrying its Norman-Irish Meath heritage.

Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Hussey family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface. Consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel from the premium cotton, and traditional fringed edges complete the piece in the correct manner.
