  1. The Local Landlord - Carrangruckane

    Share Share Post
    Lord de Freyne was the landlord of Carnagruckane. He lived in Frenchpark Co. Roscommon. He bought the land from the MacDonnells. He was looked upon as being a good landlord. The Maddens were evicted for not paying the rent and they went to England. The land was divided into farms under his guidance. The tithes were collected by adding them to the rent. Lord de Freyne kept the MacDonnells as "petty" landlords for gathering rent. The tenants were not punished for trivial acts.
