The Norman family of FitzDavid de St. Michel founded ‘Villa Michel’ (alias ‘Michelstown’) in the 13th century. They named the town in honour of their patron, Saint Michael the Archangel, who according to Christian tradition led heavenly forces into battle against the forces of Satan. The popularly acknowledged patron saint of the parish is Fanahan, a warrior-monk who founded a monastery at Brigown in the 7th century. The medieval town - ‘a den of vagabonds, thieves and rioters’ - was rebuilt by Robert and Caroline, Viscount and Viscountess Kingsborough, in the late 1700s.
