President Biden was pictured at the castle in #Carlingford - but this photo is Carlingford Friary, founded c.1305 by Richard de Burgh, Earl of Ulster. The Dominican friars played a part in an intriguing story, involving the earl's daughter-in-law the #LadyOfClare, a marriage planned by King #EdwardII to his, ahem, favourite, & an abduction... or did she elope?

“An intriguing letter written c.1334 to the #LadyofClare describes personal effects to be returned from Greencastle, helped by Carlingford Friary. All of her husbands were long dead, but it may shed new light on her relationships with the 2nd & 3rd. 🧵1/ https://t.co/nzmgVQJvo3”
