CORK IN THE MIDDLE AGES

According to tradition Cork was founded by St Finnbarre in the 7th century. He built an abbey there. Its name comes from the Gaelic Corcaigh, which means marshy place. For centuries the abbey at Cork flourished and it was famous for learning. However in 820 the Vikings raided the abbey and the settlement nearby. The Vikings then created their own town on an island in the River Lee.

In 1172, after the first English invasion of Ireland, Cork was surrendered to the English king. Following the English conquest stonewalls were built around Cork. In 1185 Cork was given its first charter (a document granting the townspeople certain rights).
