They began as Anglo-Norman settlers who were granted lands by the English crown in the 12th century. Over time, they integrated into Irish society and became part of the Gaelic nobility.
The Norreys II family played significant roles in Irish history. Sir John Norreys, a prominent member of the family, was a military commander who served in Ireland during the Tudor conquests. He played a crucial role in the suppression of the Desmond Rebellions and was appointed as Lord President of Munster.
The Norreys II family continued to thrive in Ireland, holding prominent positions and owning vast estates. They were known for their military prowess, political influence, and patronage of the arts.
