    1315: Edward The Bruce arrives in Ireland (Larne) and is crowned King a year later, but is killed in 1318.


    Edward the Bruce laid siege to the town in 1315, and was crowned King of Ireland in gratitude for his efforts. He held court in Castletown castle until his defeat in 1318 by Sir John Birmingham at the Battle of Faughart. The tomb of Edward the Bruce may be seen in Faughart graveyard.
