CASTLEMORRES
AND THE FAMILY OF
MORRES / DE MONTMORENCY
The Morres family has played a prominent part in Irish affairs over many generations. They
descend from a Redmond Morres of Knockagh, co. Tipperary, who died in 1624. His son was
created a baronet in 1631, and in the 18th century several of his descendants served with
distinction in the Irish Brigade of the French Army (the 8th Baronet was killed when scaffolding
fell on him at the coronation of Louis XVI).
Hervey Morris, a younger brother of the 3rd Bart, was a captain of horse in the regiment
commanded by Cromwell during his Irish campaign. He settled in Co. Kilkenny and was
MP for Knocktopher. His grandson another Hervey represented the Irishtown of Kilkenny
in Parliament and was Mayor of Kilkenny in 1752-53; he was created Viscount Morres of
Castlemorres in 1763.
The first Viscount was succeeded in turn by his two sons by different marriages, and the 3rd
Viscount, Francis Hervey Morres, also inherited the Morres baronetcy when the senior line
died out. In 1815, together with several other family members, he changed his surname to de
Montmorency in (to quote Burke’s Peerage) “the genuine but mistaken belief that his family
descended from the distinguished medieval French family of that name”.
TheViscountcybecameextinctonthedeathofthe5thViscountin1951,thoughthebaronetcy
continued until the death of Sir Arnold Geoffrey de Montmorency, 19th Bart, in 2003.

Through marriage with a daughter of John Kearney, Bishop of Ossory, the family is distantly
related to President Barack Obama.
The once-magnificent Castlemorres House, built in 1751 by Francis Bindon, was sold to the
Land Commission in 1926 – a few years later it was unroofed and a demolition sale took place.
The remains were finally demolished in 1978, and the demesne now forms part of a woodland
area of some 2000 acres.
