    which is now called the "King's House". This King had a daughter called Princess Izod. She had a private oratory where the graveyard in the Mill Lane now is. Princess Izod and her handmaids went to this oratory every day, and she heard mass there. It was from this, Chapelizod got its name "Seipeal Iozod".
    After Princess Izod died the oratory was neglected, and it gradually fell into ruins, but some of the walls are still to be seen. Some of her retainers were buried there. Afterwards the people of the neighbourhood buried their dead there. In time the Grand Jury declared it a public graveyard for the district.
