Hugh LACY, LORD OF MEATH

                   Note: Hugh de Laci was employed in the conquest of Ireland, and for his services there obtained from King Henry II, the whole county of Meath. He was subsequently constituted governor of Dublin and justice of Ireland. But incurring the displeasure of his royal master by marrying without license the king of Connaught's dau., he was divested in 1181 of the custody of the metropolis. In four years afterwards he was murdered by one Malvo Miadaich, a mean person, in revenge for the severity with which he had treated the workmen employed by him in erecting the castle of Lurhedy. He left issue, Walter, his successor; Hugh, constable of Ireland; Elayne, m. to Richard de Beaufo.
