This beautifully crafted blanket honours that lineage through the Taaffe family crest and the rich tones of the Irish National Tartan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Taaffe Name\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Welsh Taf — a place-name origin brought to Ireland via the Norman settlement — the Taaffe family established themselves in County Louth and County Meath in the wake of the Norman conquest of 1169. Over the following centuries they became one of the great Old English Catholic families of the Pale, holding their faith and their lands through the upheavals of the Reformation and Cromwellian era. The Taaffes produced the Viscounts Taaffe, a notable Irish peerage family, and supplied soldiers and statesmen to both Ireland and the Catholic powers of Europe. Field Marshal Franz Moritz von Taaffe served in the armies of the Habsburg Empire, one of the many Taaffe descendants who carried the family’s martial tradition into the Wild Geese tradition of Continental service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWoven Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Taaffe crest and Irish tartan design are woven into the fabric — not printed.
