A late 19th century view of Maynooth Castle, in County Kildare, Ireland. Constructed in the early 13th century, it became the primary residence of the Kildare Fitzmaurice and Fitzgerald family, ending in the 1534 rebellion of Silken Thomas, the son of the ninth Earl of Kildare. An English force bombarded the massive castle with the heavy siege guns of the English army. The Castle was restored in 1630-35 by Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, after his daughter had married George FitzGerald, 16th Earl of Kildare but much of this building was destroyed in the 1640s during the Eleven years war.
