Because we can't boast history as one of our talents, we shall quote discoverireland.ie here!! "The Vikings pillaged the settlement in 842. Later in the 12th century, the Normans arrived in Ireland. It was part of the dowry of Aoife, the daughter of Diarmuid Mac Murrough, King of Leinster, when she was given in marriage to the Norman conqueror Strongbow in 1170. When Isabel, the daughter of Strongbow and Aoife, wed William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, Dunamase was given as part of her marriage's wedding gift. From 1325 until 1609, the castle belonged to the O’Moore family of Laois." See discoverireland.ie for more.
