Our next stop was Ross Castle, which was built in the late 15th century by the O'Donoghues. Legend has it that O'Donoghue leapt or was somehow sucked out of the grand chamber castle window (with his horse, table and library) into the lake, and now they live in a grand castle at the bottom of the lake to keep an eye on everything. Aquaman's origin story?
Ross was one of the last to surrender to that a-hole Oliver Cromwell. The Irish had a prophecy that Ross would never be taken until a warship could swim on a lake, and it was indeed by lake that the charming Lord Ludlow beat the Irish Lord Muskerry to take the castle. O'Donoghue/Aquaman was probably reading a super good book that day.
