Cathal Crovdearg O'Conor, King of Connaught founded the Abbey in 1216, near the site of the church built by St Patrick in 441.
Despite the Abbey's turbulent history, which included repression and burning, the Abbey 'refused to die' and now has the unique status of being Ireland's only royal Abbey, which has been in continuous use.
