{"product_id":"mcguire-surname-irish-heritage-woven-blanket-4698124","title":"McGuire Irish Woven Blanket | Maguire Lords of Fermanagh Tartan Throw","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe McGuire name in Ireland is a Gaelic Irish surname — Mag Uidhir in Irish, son of Odhar, a personal name meaning dun-coloured or pale — the great Maguire dynasty of County Fermanagh, one of the most powerful Gaelic lordships of medieval and early modern Ulster. The Maguires were lords of Fermanagh, their territory the extraordinary lake landscape of Lough Erne and its islands, and they were among the last great Gaelic lords to resist the Tudor conquest of Ulster. This Irish woven blanket features the McGuire family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring the lords of Fermanagh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maguire lords of Fermanagh held power in the county from the thirteenth century, their seat at Enniskillen on the Erne commanding the crossing between upper and lower Lough Erne. Cu Chonnacht Maguire, the last great Maguire lord, was one of the earls who took flight in the Flight of the Earls in 1607 — the defining moment of the end of the Gaelic order in Ulster. The Maguire name today is found across Fermanagh and Ulster and throughout the diaspora wherever Ulster families settled, always carrying the memory of one of the great Gaelic lordships of the north.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the McGuire family crest and the Irish National Tartan formed within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface.
