Desmond

Ancient territorial division, Ireland. From the 11th to the 17th century, the name was often used for two quite distinct areas. Gaelic Desmond extended over part of modern Counties Kerry and Cork; Anglo-Norman Desmond extended over northern Kerry, most of the modern county of Limerick, southwestern Tipperary, eastern and southern County Cork, and eastern Waterford.
