“There were people living in Ireland named Despart. ...”
There were people living in Ireland named Despart. The first man that was to leave foot in Irish soil was to get as much land as he wished. When this man was coming across the sea he cut off his arm and threw it on Irish soil. The man that saw him said that he was a Despart man.
