This image shows the outline of St. John's Castle on a December morning sky. The castle was the outpost of the English Pale built by Hugh de Lacy. The English Parliament sat in the town many times. The 1447 enactment required that any Irish man seeking to become English should abandon the Irish moustache and shave both lips.
