The British monarchy traces its origins from the petty kingdoms of early medieval Scotland and Anglo-Saxon England, which consolidated into the kingdoms ofEngland and Scotland by the 10th century AD. In 1066, the last crowned Anglo-Saxon monarch, Harold II, wasdefeated and killed during the Norman conquest of England and the English monarchy passed to the Normans' victorious leader, William the Conqueror, and his descendants.
In the 13th century, Wales, as a principality, became aclient state of the English kingdom, while the Magna Cartabegan a process of reducing the English monarch's political powers.

Mr. Roch *. to the representation of the family in 1792.
, Xtotagt.
The family of Roch of Woodbine Hill exhibit an unbroken line of twenty-three descents, from the period of the English Conquest; and during the greater part of eight centuries have been distinguished by their military fame and feudal honours. As Lords Roch and Fennoy, they were ennobled in the Irish peerage.
Iie Sire De Rochville, called also, " De La Roche," and "De Rupe," was descended in a direct line from the ruling house of Lorraine. He accompanied the Duke of Normandy to England, on the invasion of 1066, and his name appears among the knights who fought at the battle of Hastings. For his gallantry in this engagement he received from the Conqueror, three lordships in Wales: one of which, near St. David's, yet retains the name of "Rock." When a conference was held at Kells, in Ireland, in 1111, with the Irish princes, DE Rite was selected to represent his sovereign, and discharged his difficult diplomacy with singular address and ability. Be d.soon after his return to England, and was *. by his son,
Henri De Rupe, of whom no particular account has come down to us, save that he was father to
Adam De Rupe, who in 1170, formed one of the band of Anglo-Norman adventurers, under the Earl of Feinbroke (Strongbow), Robert Fitz-Stephen, and Miles de Cogan, in their conquest of Ireland. On the subjugation of the southern districts, de Rupe received for his portion, the cantred of Rosse-lihir. called also, Rosse-Alithri, i. P., the Field of Pilgrimage (now RobsCarbery), with all its appurtenances, except the episcopal demesnes, by the service of five knights * De Rupe soon after relieved Fitz-Stephen from his critical position, when he was closely besieged in Cork, by MacCarty, King of Desmond. He now turned his attention to the improvement of u, acquired territory; and in 1178, erected a magnificent castle on the river Bandon, adjoining Kinsale, called Castlelough, in Irish, Poul-ne-lortg, i. e.t Ship-pool. The ruins of this edifice even now attest its feudal splendour; and the arms of de Rupe, Giles, three roaches naiant, are still visible on the grand chimney, (smith's for*, vol. i. p. 213.) When Prince John, in 1185, went to Ireland as lord-deputy, he was attended by de Rupe, from Waterford, where he had landed, to Lismore and Ardfinnan. On this occasion, the prince conferred on him some new grants of land, and joined with his gifts a patent con* firming de Rupe's former acquisitions. O'Cleary, in his Irish MSS., tells us fart. Roch), that de Rupe, in the year 1200, founded at his lordship in Pembrokeshire, the priory of Pilla Rose, and that here, at his death in 1210, he was buried with much solemnity. He was s. by his son.
Sir Richard De Rupe, or De La Roche, baron of Poole Castle, who erected on the Bandon river, a second stately castle, called Dunderrow. He m. Amy, only dan. and sole heiress of Sir William Flemming, Lord of Armor or Ftrmoy, and with his bride he received the district, which, being raised to a barony, gave the title of Lords Roch, to himself and his descendants. The union is said to have originated in the following romantic circumstances. The Lord of Armoy, having no male issue, had consti
tated Amy the sole inheritor of his large possessions; and in consequence, he found many suitors ready to prefer their claims. Sir William Caunton, or Condon, among the rest, made overtures for the lady's hand; and when refused, vowed he would lay waste with fire and sword, tiie whole of her father's territories. For this purpose lie joined with himself two Irish chiefs, O'Keefe and O'Corgra, and advanced with a large army against the Flemmings' castle of G Ian worth. Appeals for aid were made to Sir Richard deKupe, and in a single combat with Condon, the gallant knight mortally wounded him by a cross-bow shot, where the rising up of his cuirass had left his body exposed. He received for his reward the hand of the fair Amy, and the whole of her father's district (six thousand Irish acres) as a bridal portion, together with, on the death of Flemming, the noble castle of G Ian worth, which he had erected for his chief seat.* In t|ie centre of this barony, in our own day, popularly called "Boch's country," de Rupe founded his fortress, and round it grew the town of Castletown Rocli. Sir Richard de Rupe d. in 1330, and was -. by his son,
Siit RichAkd Fitz-richard De Rl'pk, of Poole Castle, lord-justice of Ireland for six years, 1261—1267, when be was recalled by Henry III., and summoned to assist the king in England, where public matters were much disturbed (clysn's Annals). At Glanworth, in the vicinity of hia father's fine castle, he founded, in 122 7, an abbey of Dominicans or friars-preachers, which still remains in an almost perfect state. He also erected, and largely endowed, at Fermoy, a Cistercian abbey, called "Our Lady de Castro Dei," probably about the same time, since the prior is mentioned by Archdall.t in 1226, though an Irish MS. would assign its foundation to a much later period, viz., 1270. The monks were brought from Suir Abbey, in the county of Tipperary, and received an accession to their numbers from Furness Abbey, in Lancashire. Sir Richard de Rupe d. in 1270, and was #. by hia son,
Lord Hugh De Rupe, of Poole Castle, Baron Roch of Fermoy. In a return of the great English lords in this county, with their incomes or other possessions, made by order of Henry IV., we find Lord Roch set down as seised of Jc 1000 per annum, besides havens, creeks, and ferries, and all exclusive of his Fermoy barony.% The greater part of Lord Hugh's lifetime was spent in conflicts with the Irish chieftains; and on his death, in 1300, his eldest son succeeded,
David Fitz-hlch Roch, of Poole Castle, Baron Roch of Fermoy, and so summoned to the parliament held in Dublin at the commencement of King Edward Ii.'s reign. In 1308, he defeated in a pitched battle, and slew, Sir Maurice Caunton, or Condon, who had murdered Lord Roch** intimate friend, Sir Richard Taloun; in revenge, (we are told by Camden,) his son, William Roch, was three years after, treacherously assassinated in Dublin, by a gallowglass hired by the Condons lor that purpose. Lord Roch d. in 1314, and was /. by his eldest Bon,
Geohge Fitzdavid Roch, of Poole Castle, Baron Roch of Fermoy. Having been summoned to parliament, and refusing to attend, he was fined 200 marks; but this penalty was afterwards in great part remitted. On the invasion of Ireland, in 1315, by the Scots, under Edward Bruce, Lord Roch displayed signal bravery; he united his forces with those of Sir Richard deMortimer, the lord-justice, and materially contributed to the defeat of the invaders. He d. in 1326, or perhaps in 1330, and was *. by his son,
Alexander-FiTzHuon Roch, Lord Roch of Fermoy, of whom the MS. annals relate that he obtained from the king, by pleading his hereditary claims, the reduction to ten pounds, of the penalty imposed on his father, for not attending the parliament of 20 Edward II. In 1314, be founded at Bridgetown, (in Irish, Ballindroghed,) near the confluence of the rivers Awbeg and Blackwater, co. Cork, an abbey of regular canons of St. Augustine, or of St. Victor, according to some historians. This house was
munificently endowed by the Roch family, and opposite the great altar is the founder's tomb, having the armorial bearings, but destitute of inscription; the whole being compassed by an arch of beautiful construction.* Here, on Lord Boch's death, in 1835, he was buried, being «. by his son,
David-fitzaxexander Eoch, Lord Roch of Fermoy, who built the Castle of Ballyhorley, on the river Blackwater. In 1330, King Edward II. commanded his appearance at the English court, with a competent retinue, to assist at the ceremonial of the knighthood of the Prince of Wales. His presence was ere long again ordered at the marriage of the princess-royal, when he attended with so gallant a company, that the king, to mark his favour, bestowed on him the castle and land of Guynes. In 1335, he fought at the battle of Alio, where Dermot Ooe-m'carty, King of Cork, was slain.t At his death, in 1361, his Bon succeeded,
William-fitzdavid Roch, Lord Roch and Fermoy. In 1370, he was made sheriff of the co. Cork, seneschal of Imokilly barony, and governor of Youghal. Four years after, by virtue of his office, he attacked and discomfited the Clangibbons, and other marauders, who were wasting the Imokilly barony. He d. in 1383, and was buried in his father's tomb at Bridgetown, being s. by bis eldest son,
James-fitzwilliam Roch, Lord Roch and Fermoy, who d. s. p. in 1422, and was *. by his next brother,
Maurice-fitzwilliam Roch. Lord Roch and Fermoy, appointed sheriff of the co. Cork in 1438. Ha erected several castles in various parts of his extensive districts, viz., Shian'g Castle and Glynn, near Carrick-onSuirs Tourin and Cappoquin, on the river Blackwater. In 1445, he was summoned to Dublin, for the purpose of testifying to the Earl of Ormond's conduct when lord chiefjustice of Ireland. He gave in a testimonial in Ormond's favour, which had been signed not only by himself, but by the corporations of Cork and Youghal, by the Bishop of Cork and Cloyne, and many others.! In 1461, on the death of the lord-deputy, the Duke of Clarence, brother to the king, (edwahd IV.,) the native Irish rebelled—in the north, under O'Neil, Lord Tyrone ; and in Munster, under Morrogh O'Brien, Prince of Thomond. The hitter overran the greater part of Munster and Connaught, destroying everywhere the castles of the English, and plundering the walled towns.} He was at last encountered at Mallar by Lord Roch, when a terrible battle ensued, which checked his further progress. Lord Maurice had several sons: the two eldest, along with eight knights of his family, were slain in England, during the war of the Roses; and it is recorded of the father that, although he lived to an advanced age, he never ceased to mourn for them. His third and fourth sons successively enjoyed his title and estates; and the youngest, James-FitzMaurice Roch, was, in 1474, governor of the city of Cork. At this time lived Lord Maurice's near relative, if not brother, William Roch, Archdeacon of Cork, and Bishop of Cork in 1479. This eminent divine was celebrated among his contemporaries, no less by reason of his profound literary acquirements, than for religion and piety. He continued bishop until 1496, in which year he resigned his see. Clancy, in his MS. lives of the Koch family, || states that the king's great lord (Sir Richard Edgecomb) arrived in Kinsale harbour, 27 June, 1488, to take new oaths of allegiance from the great men of Ireland, after the rebellion of Lambert Simnel. He was magnificently entertained by Lord Roch at the Castle of Poolne-lonp, where he continued until he had executed his mission, and thence sailed for Waterford. Lord Maurice d. in 1493, and was s. by his third son,
Ulick, or Alexander Roch, Lord Roch and Fermoy, who, in consequence of injuries received by a fall from his horse, rf. s.p. in 1500, and was ». by his next brother,

Some chroniclers assert that the Fermoy district, having successfully resisted the attacks of De Braosa and Wigorne, two valiant English captains, the king commissioned de Rupe to reduce the rebellious septs, and, on his success, bestowed on him the district, raised to a barony.

$ SrENsER's View qf the State of Ireland.
II Clancy was antiquary and laureate of the Roch family, who from time immemorial retained their own chroniclers, and set apart for their maintenance the castle and estate of Rathgoggan. These seannachies, as they were called by the Irish, were also heralds, and accompanied their lords in all military expeditions for the twofold purpose of witnessing their heroic deeds, with a view to record them, and of stimulating their ardour by the recitation of panegyrics.
George Roch, Lord Roch and Fermoy, wlio on his brother^ untimely decease had but recently returned from England, where he had acquired great military skill. He m. in 150't, at Limerick, the Princess Mary O'Brien, dau. of Tirlough Roe O'Brien, hereditary Prince of Thomond, and by this marriage had two sons. Lord Roch was waylaid and assassinated near Liscarroll, in 1517; or according to some, was killed in endeavouring to force a pass among the mountains in that neighbourhood. His lady, who was devotedly attached to him, died soon after of grief, and bequeathed her two orphan boys to the care of their uncle Maurice, afterwards Lord Fermoy.
John Roch, surnamed "the Happy," was the elder of the two sons, and it seems the only one who grew up to maturity. He was b. in 1507, and being a mere child, as we have seen, at the decease of both his parents, the vassals, by the law of tanistry, elected Maurice, his uncle and guardian, to be their chief, until such time as their young lord should himself come of age. To this determination the intestine commotions of the country, which threatened the very existence of the hereditary property, compelled them; but the youthful chieftain never succeeded to the family honours, which remained in his uncle's possession. He was placed under a faithful ward and two learned tutors, in the Castle of Tourin, and there continued until he arrived at man's estate. In 1521, in his fourteenth year, he was present at the battle of Mourne Abbey, under his uncle's care, who desired to have him familiarized to such encounters. Maclaire, in his MS. poem, states that the lord-deputy, travelling from Waterford to Cork, was greatly attracted by the appearance of the young possessor of Tourin; he ofTered him a lordship conditionally on his supporting the Reformation, but the honour was declined. The deputy, continuing his journey to Limerick, was attended by all the great English proprietors, and was entertained in Thomond with great splendour by the O'Briens, the maternal relations of young Roch, a favour which he sought to recompense by knighting him, very much against the youth's wishes, as some annalists relate. Sir John Roch m. in 1535, the Lady Johanna FitzGerald, dan. of the Lord of Strancally, by whom he had an only son, James. In 1550, he was present at the festivities consequent on the marriage of his cousin, the Lady Mary Roch, (or Joan,) to James, the fifteenth Earl of Desmond.* The pageant lasted during thirty days; and in the tilting, the Knight of Tourin displayed so much address, as to vanquish every competitor. The delighted vassals immediately offered him the restoration of his ancestral style and dignities, but his unambitious spirit prompted him to decline their proposition, and he alleged for a plea his unwillingness to disturb the union just concluded between the houses of Fermoy and Desmond, which gave them the sway of South Munster. About this time Sir John Roch rf. suddenly, and was r. by his son,
James Roch, of Tourin, who m. the Lady Margaret Butler, of the house of Ormond, and dying in 1567, left by her a son,
Theobald Roch, of Tourin and Cregg, who m. in 1566, the Lady Ellen Fitzgerald, of the Desmond family, (of the house of Kerrycurrihy.t) and had issue, five sons, in. Maurice.
i. George, Iv. Ulick.
At this period of Irish history, owing to the continued insurrections, the uncertainty of tenure was so great that the heirs of the Roch family were wont to reside at the castle of Glynn until the decease of the actual representative, who retained Nourin in his possession when they moved to the latter castle. This was done to protect the two most vulnerable extremities of the estate.
* This union was, however, dissolved, on the plea of consanguinity, after the birth of a son, Thomas ; and the Earl of Desmond subsequently constituted Gerald, his son by a second marriage, and subsequently the 16th earl, his heir. Thomas, being thus set aside, built for himself the Castle of Conna, on the river Bride. He m. Alice, dau. of Poer, Lord Curraghmore, and had issue, James, the sugan earl; John, and Gerald; and one dau., Margaret, lie d. in 1503, and was buried in the South Abbey, Youghal.
t The barony of Kerrycurrihy was originally possessed by the MaeCartys : it was granted at the Conquest to Richard de Copan, and came with him to the Earls of Desmond. James, the 1-r»th earl, devised it to Sir Maurice Fitzgerald, his brother, with whom it remained until it was forfeited to the crown, in the reign of Elizabeth.—Smith's Cork, vol. t, pp. 32, 50, 207.
Maurice, the third son, sided with his unfortunate kinsman. Sir James Fitzgerald, Lord of Strancaliy, and in the revolt lost his life. It does not appear that liis father was in anywise, at least actively, concerned in this transaction; yet his son's connexion afforded sufficient pretext to deprive him of his estates in great part, and they were bestowed on Sir Walter Raleigh. By an inquisition held at Shandon Castle, in Cork, 9 Sept. 1588, "Theobald Roch, of Cregg,'' was found to have been among those concerned in the Earl of Desmond's rebellion; he escaped, notwithstanding the attainder issued against others, and was only heavily mulcted and deprived of some lands. In 1598, he sent Geoffrey Mac Sweeney with a purse of gold to the relief of James-Fitz-Thomas Fitzgerald, the titular (or, as he was called by the Irish,sugan) Earl of Desmond He d. at an advanced age in 1635, and was buried at Bridgetown, where in one of the side-chapels his monument is yet to be seen in a very perfect state. His eldest son succeeded,
Geokge Roch, of Tourin and Glynn. At the breaking out of the rebellion of 1641, we find the disposition made by the brothers for the maintenance of the remaining family property, to be as follows:—George and Ulick were settled at Glynn; John, at Tourin; and David, on the Cork estates. The brothers were all present at the several conflicts of Cappoquin, Knockmourne, Mo thill, Lismore, and Dungarvon, and at all these showed themselves devoted adherents of the Stewarts, which drew upon tbem the hostility of the Lord I*rotector, and eventually their attainder by the English parliament. Two only, George and John, survived these disasters. They withdrew in exile to Flanders, where they found their prince, for whom they had undergone so much, also a fugitive and wanderer. It is recorded of them that, along with their kinsman, Maurice, Lord Roch and Fermoy, (also attainted.) they shared their military pay withCharles, service which that monarch wholly overlooked at the period of his restoration. George Roch rf. of his wounds, in exile, about the year 1658, and bequeathed to his brother's care his only son,
James Roch. colonel in King William's army at the relief of Derry, who was ft. at Kinsale, 29 Sept. 1C57. IIU uncle, who never married, adopted and educated him; and his military talents were so well known, that in 16S8, Lord Tyrconnell sent a special messenger, inviting him to assist James II. in his struggle for the succession. Remembering what his family had suflVred from the Stewarts, Mr. Roch not only peremptorily refused, but directed Trant, the officer who had come on the negotiation, to announce to Lord Tyrconnell his resolve to take up arms immediately for the Prince of Orange. In the Williamite army he soon attained the rank of colonel, and at the memorable siege of Derry distinguished himself by his almost Roman heroism." When Kirke, the general, sent to the relief of the beleagured town, arrived off Lough Foyle, he found a strong boom, or barricade, stretched across the harbour's mouth, so as effectually to preclude the passage of his ships. In despair, he would have sailed away without any communication with the delcnders of Derry, when Colonel Roch offered to swim to the town, bearing dispatches. He did so, haviug attached bullets to the letters, that he might sink them in the event of his own capture, and returned to his companions; but having been repeatedly fired upon by the Irish troops who lined the banks, his jaw-bone was broken, and three musket-balls were lodged in different parts of his body. For this heroic feat he was, during the remainder of Ins life, honourably called " the Swimmer," and he received from the king the more substantial reward of the ferries of Ireland, along with fifteen of the forfeited estates. The latter were lost to him by the Act of Resumption, and parliament, in lieu, voted him a sum of money. But the funda from which this grant was to be derived fell so far short of the stipulated sum, that Colonel Roch did not receive above one-third of the voted money. This sura hardly covered the charges he had put himself to, in the raising and drilling of men; for in bis enthusiasm for King William, he had wholly dedicated to his service, not only his private means, but also a considerable fortune he had ncquired with his wife.
