The Molloy Coat Of Arms Story
Read the intriguing transcription of the text illustrated on the Molloy family history parchment:
There are at least two quite distinct septs or clans of Molloy and possibly a third. The foremost, claiming descent from Niall of the Nine Hostages King of Ireland in A.O. 871 were known as O'Maolmhuaidh, which in Irish probably means noble or venerable chieftain. Their leader was Lord of Fercal, a district of Offaly or the King & County. As a rescue of the spelling in Irish, the English version in early records was often O'Mulmoy, and it is this which enables the two main groups to be distinguished from one another. The Molloys of Connaught are O'Maoil Aoidh - servant of St. Aebh. The third group may be a branch of the Offaly sept who moved to County Roscommon, or they may be an entirely different group. Their cheif was known as the Green Molloy, the greatest concentration of Molloys is still in East Connaught and Offaly. Many members of the Offaly sept hold high offices in both church in State. Albin O'Molloy (B.1223) was a cistercian monk who became Bishop of Ferds & was one of the officating prelates at the coronation of King Richard I. He is also remembered for his outspoken views on Irish problems. The chief was also appointed to the hereditary Office of Bearer of the English Standard in Ireland, but there was perhaps more prestige than power attached to this & it was probably only exercised in the Dale, that strength of land between Dundalk & Waterford, which Richard II attempted to strengthen & use as a base for controlling the rest of Ireland. In the time and sphere James Lyndam Molloy (1837-1909) composed 'Love's Old Sweet Song' and many other popular ballads. Joseph Fitzerald Molloy (1858-1908) was a novelist and a poet.
