This was thrice de- molished by the Munster men, and as often rebuilt. In 1226, Richard de Burgo was granted the country of Connaught, and, having crushed the O'Connors, es- tablished his power in the West. He took Galway in 1232, enlarged the castle, and made it his residence. From this time Galway became a nourishing Eng- lish colony. Among the new settlers was a number of families whose descend- ants are known to this day under the gen- eral appellation of "the Tribes of Gal- way, " an expre...ssion first invented by Cromwell's forces as a term of reproach against the natives of the town for their singular friendship and attachment to one another during the time of their unparalleled troubles and persecutions, but which the latter afterwards adopted as an honorable mark of distinction be- tween themselves and their cruel oppress- 96 RECESS TO GALWAY ors. There were thirteen of these so- called tribes, the descendants of some of which, as Blake, Lynch, Bodkin, Browne, Joyce, Kirwan, Morris, Skerrett, D'Arcy, Ffrench, Martin, may still be found among its citizens, who in those days carefully guarded themselves from any intercourse with the native Irish.
