The Visitations
The Visitations were an attempt to carry out in Ireland heraldic visitations along the lines of those which the College of Arms had been using in England for almost a century to control the bearing of arms. The results were meagre, confined to areas close to Dublin, and almost certainly incomplete even for those areas.
The following places were covered:
- Dublin and parts of Co. Louth, 1568-70;
- Drogheda and Ardee, 1570;
- Swords, 1572;
- Cork, 1574;
- Limerick, 1574;
- Dublin City, 1607;
- Dublin county, 1610;
- Wexford, 1610.
They are indexed in GO 117.
