On this month’s installment of Tipperary’s Hidden History, Conor takes us back to the medieval world to uncover the story of Theobald Walter - the first Butler of Ormond and the founder of a dynasty that would shape North Tipperary for centuries. It is a tale of conquest, faith, and survival - and of how one newcomer from Norfolk became central to Tipperary’s long and complex history.
