Athenry is a market town in County Galway with medieval town walls, castle and abbey. In Irish it's Baile Átha an Rí, town of the ford of the king. Those kings were the Ó Mainnín dynasty, ousted in the 12th century by supporters of the O'Connor kings, who in turn were ousted in the 13th century by the Anglo-Norman de Bermingham overlords.
