From Hugh de Lacy’s effective conquest of Meath in the 1170s and the establishment of Anglo-Norman power, through to the demise of what has been termed the `landed aristocracy’ at the beginning of the twentieth century, the county’s history has been shaped by the struggle for land and the wealth and power that it confers.
