King John's Castle (Irish: Caisleán Luimnigh) also known as Limerick Castle is a 13th-century castle located on King's Island in Limerick, Ireland, next to the River Shannon. Although the site dates back to 922 when the Vikings lived on the Island, the castle itself was built on the orders of King John of England in 1200. Some of the external walls, towers and fortifications remain, and the site is open for visitors. The remains of a Viking settlement were uncovered during archaeological excavations at the site in 1900. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_John%27s_Castle_(Limerick)

After the Normans who came from England conquered Limerick in 1195, King John had the current castle built around the year 1200 to protect the bridge over the Shannon. It was named after the client. During the Irish Confederation Wars, the castle served as a refuge for the city's Protestant residents during the Siege of Limerick in May and June 1642, until they finally had to surrender to the troops of the Catholic Confederacy. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_John%E2%80%99s_Castle_(Limerick)

During the period 1170-1220 the Anglo-Normans began the Colonisation of Ireland, building Motte and Bailey Castles throughout Ireland. The wooden castle that stood on the top of the motte at Clonmacnoise was destroyed by fire and later in 1214 the Justiciar of Ireland, Henry of London, built a stone castle on the motte. This was to gain control over the midlands and guard the bridge across the River Shannon. This was a very significant period in history as it marks the time when Clonmacnoise went into decline as a monastic city. Before the normans arrived these lands belonged to the abbot of Clonmacnoise. In 1216 Henry of London was ordered to compensate the abbot for his lands and any others items like animals or fruit trees the abbot may have lost. There is a large bank and a very deep fosse surrounding the D-shaped motte. The castle was destroyed during the gaelic resurgence in the late 13th early 14th century. Originally it had three storeys but very little remains of the castle today. The ruins are very dangerous, delicately balanced on the edge of the mound. http://www.megalithicireland.com/Clonmacnoise%20Castle.html
