ARDEE

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 450 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARDEE , a market-town of Co. Louth, Ireland, in the
south
  parliamentary division, on the river Dee, 48 m. N. by W. from Dublin on a branch of the
Great
  Northern railway. Pop. (1901) 1883. It has some trade in
grain
  and basket-making. The town is of high antiquity, and its name (Ather-dee) is taken to signify the ford of the Dee. A form Ath-Firdia, however, is connected with the ancient story of the warrior Cuchullain of Ulster, who, while defending the ford against the men of Con-naught, was forced to slay many with whom he was on friendly terms, and among them the warrior Firdia,. whom he regarded with
special
  affection. A castle of the lords of the manor was built early in the 14th century, and remains, as does another adjacent fortified building of the same period. Roger de Peppart, lord of the manor early in the 13th century, founded the present
Protestant
  church and a
house
  of Crutched Friars. There was also a
house
  of Carmelite Friars, but neither of these remains. Ardee received its first recorded charter in 1377. It had a full share in the several Irish wars, being sacked by
Edward
  Bruce (1315) and by O'Neill (1538); and it was taken by the Irish and recaptured by the English in the wars of 1641, and was occupied later by the forces of James II. and of William III. It returned two members to the Irish
parliament
 . A large
rath
 , or encampment, with remains of fortifications, stands to the
south
  of the town.
