Charles Boyle, 4th Earl Of Orrery By Charles Jervas
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (James (< Latin ''-us'', see Spanish/ Portuguese ''Carlos'').

Orrery And Kilmore
Orrery and Kilmore () is a historical barony in north County Cork, Ireland. Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898. History and legend "Orrery" is derived from the Orbraige (pronounced like "Orvery"), "descendants of Orbh;" one of the tribute kingdoms of Munster; according to Lebor na Cert their annual tax paid to Cashel was fifty cows, fifty oxen and fifty cattle carcasses; another place gives their obligation as a hundred cows, a hundred white cloths and a hundred sows. One of these must refer to the Orbraige of Druim Imnocht, a subbranch of the tribe that was based in County Kerry. Their ancestor Orb(h) was supposedly descended from Fereidhech, a son of Fergus mac Róich. After the Plantation of Munster, the ancient kingdom's name was preserved with the granting of the title of Earl of Orrery to Roger ...
