Mary Frances Fitzgerald Package- €90.00
The Island Winter Package- €70.00
Mary Augusta Fitzgerald was the last member of the
great Fitzgerald Family to call Waterford Castle
‘home’. In 1958, Mary Fitzgerald married an Italian
Prince and became Princess Caracciolo. The couple
moved to Dublin for their new life and Mary became
a great patron of the Arts.
A true story of a maiden in a Castle meeting her
Prince!
Mary Frances Fitzgerald was a formidable lady who
dominated the social world of the early the late
1700s and early 1800s. At one time she was engaged
to the Duke of Wellington, the Iron Duke, who
defeated Napoléon at Waterloo. She later married
John Purcell, her first cousin, in 1801. An
extravagant lady, it is said that on her return to the
family seat at Waterford Castle, she would be rowed
in state across the river with 24 musicians on her
elegant barge!
The island on which Waterford Castle stands has
played a role in the life of our great Viking city for
some 1500 years. It is said that when the Vikings
approached the harbour back in 914 that they made
camp here and so the island was known as Dane’s
Island for centuries to follow. Archaeological finds
on the island in the past century revealed a Monk’s
head carving from the 6th Century and a Winged
Angel from the 6th Century, proof of a monastic site
on the island in times gone by.
