Fagan Family Crest Parchment

Fagan Family Crest 

Created by Edmond McGrath (RIP) in the 1970s, these Irish prints were rediscovered in 2020 after 40 years in safe storage. Beautifully arranged in this Irish coat of arms parchment is an artistic celebration of the Fagan Irish surname. The Fagan family crest is illustrated at the center and surrounded by famous Celtic symbols of Ireland. These illustrations are a wonderful dedication to Irish last names.

Imagine having this beautiful story of your name hanging on your living room wall for all to study over a glass of wine, or to take a glimpse at it when having your Barry's tea on the couch. There is so much to take in. This parchment is an heirloom for many generations yet to come. It's a wonderful reminder of your Irish heritage.

The Fagan Coat Of Arms Story

Read the intriguing transcription of the text illustrated on the Fagan family history parchment:

This small, but very distinguished sept came to Ireland with the Anglo-Norman invasion in the second half of the twelfth century. Their name is Norman, and is derived from the latin 'Paganus' meaning Countryman', and the family quickly established itself in the Counties of Dublin and Meath. By 1200, William Fagan held much property in the capital, and for several successive, generations in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, leading men of the family were Mayors and high Sheriffs of Dublin. Their seat was at Feltrion in County Dublin, but other branches of this family settled in Kerry and Cork City at an early date. It was eiht the latter branch that Christopher Fagan took refuge in 1407 after he had supported Perkin Wardeck, the unsuccessful pretender to the English throne. He was from the Kerry branch that the fagans who emigrated to France descended. After distinguishing themselves in the service of this country, they were ennobled: a Fagan de Beaulieu, Captain Commandant in 1785, appears in the lists of Irish brigades in France. Within Ireland, Fagans are still found almost exclusively in Leinster, and half of those are Dubliners. A small proportion is from County Louth, but there the name is variant of the name O'Hagan. Many of the family entered public service, but the two best-remembered Fagans were Robert, born in Cork in 1745, who became a diplomatic and portrait Painter, and James Fleming Fagan, of an emigrant family in America, who became a planter, soldier, and official: he died in 1893.
