The history of Limerick stretches back to its establishment by Vikings as a walled city on King's Island (an island in the River Shannon) in 812, and to the granting of Limerick's city charter in 1197. King John ordered the building (1200) of a great castle. The city was besieged three times in the 17th century, culminating in the famous 1691 Treaty of Limerick and the flight of the defeated Catholic leaders abroad. Much of the city was built during the following Georgian prosperity, which ended abruptly with the Act of Union in 1800. Today the city has a growing multicultural population.

  • Cé go dtéann Stair Luimnigh siar go dtí tús an naoú haois nuair a bhunaigh na Lochlannaigh an chathair, bhí lonnaíocht san áit ó thús stair na hÉireann. Bunaíodh cathair Luimnigh mar bhaile seasta taobh thiar d’bhallaí cosanta agus bhronn na Normannaigh cairt chathrach oifigiúil uirthi sa bhliain 1197. (ga)
  • Limerick é uma cidade irlandesa e a sua história remonta ao tempo da sua fundação pelos viquingues no ano de 812 na (ou Ilha do Rei, uma ilha no rio Shannon). Em 1197 a cidade recebeu o foral e, sob as ordens do Rei João, foi construído um castelo, fornecendo, juntamente com as muralhas construídas aquando da sua formação, uma protecção adicional à povoação. Apesar de tudo a cidade foi cercado três vezes no século XVII, que culminou com a assinatura do Tratado de Limerick. A maior parte da cidade foi construída durante a próspera época georgiana, que acabou abrutamente com o Ato de União em 1800. A depressão durou dois séculos, altura em que ocorreram a grande fome irlandesa entre 1845 e 1849, a guerra de independência entre 1919 e 1921 e o período de Emergência da Segunda Guerra Mundial, (pt)
