Transcript of text: - KILBEHENY. Near Mitchelstown. - Cork Journal. 1893. p.82. This castle was the residence of the White Knights, a title given to Maurice Fitzgibbon by Edward Ill. in 1333. There were nine White Knights, the last one died in this castle, a powerful chief. He captured and handed over to the English James Desmond the "Sugan Earl", who had joined the Rising of O'Neill in 1598, after keeping him prisoner in this castle. The White Knight and his heir died in 1608. The Castle consisted of five storeys. - Cork Journal. 1906. p.58. In a letter written at Shandon in 1600, Carew, Lord President of Munster, says: The White Knight hath sent sundry messengers unto me, promising to be an honest man, a more faithless man never lived upon the earth. - 1938. This castle is now very dilapidated, all one side having fallen down, exposing the vault, which is not very high up. At either side of it a sort of passage in the wall is to be seen, but the stairs has disappeared. It is still possible to climb up on to the top of the vault. In the basement room there is a small almost square window, and high up in one angle of the building is a little corner window. - Download size (PDF): 285 KB. Image no Vol_04-05. -
