McNamara Irish Woven Blanket | Lords of Clancullion Tartan Throw

The McNamara name is one of the great Gaelic surnames of County Clare — Mac Conmara in Irish, son of the hound of the sea — the family lords of Clancullion in east Clare, one of the principal Gaelic families of the Thomond province that produced Brian Boru and the O’Brien high kings. The McNamaras were the most powerful family in east Clare through the medieval period, their castles dotting the landscape of the county and their power making them one of the key families of the Dal Cais world from which Ireland’s greatest high king descended. This Irish woven blanket features the McNamara family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring one of Clare’s most distinguished Gaelic families.

History & Heritage

The McNamara lords of Clancullion held territory in the eastern part of County Clare, the landscape between Lough Derg and the Shannon estuary that was the heartland of the Dal Cais world. Like the O’Briens, the McNamaras descended from the same ancient Dal Cais lineage, and their alliance with the great O’Brien dynasty made them one of the dominant forces in Thomond’s politics through the medieval centuries. The McNamara name today is strongly associated with County Clare and is found throughout the Irish diaspora wherever Clare and Munster families settled across the centuries of emigration.

Craftsmanship

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