The great keeps of the midland lords, the towers of Granuaile on the west coast, and the traders' towers on the east coast, especially those of Down, afford ample material for a study of the early colonizing efforts of different invaders, as well as providing incidents of heroism and romance. These square battlemented towers can be seen here and there in every district.

So, Dick, like a good fellow, light your candle and open the window I am in a shocking state." I did as he asked me, and robing himself like Granuaile in one of my blankets, he seated himself close beside my bed.

We are a long time waiting for that day, citizen, says Ned. Since the poor old woman told us that the French were on the sea and landed at Killala. Ay, says John Wyse.
Amid all the heroes and leaders of that wondrous age in Ireland, there appears, like a reincarnation of legendary Medb, a warlike queen in Connacht, Grace O'Malley, "Granuaile" of the ballads. First an O'Flaherty is her husband, then a Norman Burke.
