Editing Trim Castle (section)

===Geneville and Mortimer===
The next phase of the castle's development took place at the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century; a new great hall (with undercroft and attached [[Solar (room)|solar]] in a radically altered curtain tower), a new forebuilding, and stables were added to the keep.

On Walter de Lacy's death in 1241 his granddaughter [[Maud de Lacy, Baroness Geneville|Mathilda]] ('Maud') inherited the castle. Her second husband was [[Geoffrey de Geneville]] (brother of the crusade historian [[Jean de Joinville]]),<ref>Butler, ''Some Notices'', [https://archive.org/stream/somenoticesofcas00butl#page/26 p. 27] (Internet Archive).</ref> Lord of [[Vaucouleurs]] in [[Champagne (historical province)|Champagne]], France, and of many lordships in England and Ireland which were to devolve upon his heirs. His son Piers de Geneville (who married [[Joan of Lusignan|Joan de Lusignan]]) died in 1292 leaving a daughter [[Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville|Joan]], who in 1301 married [[Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March|Roger Mortimer (1st Earl of March)]].<ref>Butler, ''Some Notices'', pp. 29-30.</ref> Mathilda having died in 1304, in 1308 Geoffrey conveyed his Irish lordships to Roger Mortimer, and entered the [[The Black Friary|priory]] at St. Mary's in Trim. Joan Mortimer inherited the title Baroness Geneville [[suo jure]] when Geoffrey died in 1314.<ref>Butler, ''Some Notices'', pp. 30-33.</ref>

The castle thereby passed to the Mortimer family who held it until 1425, when the male line died out with [[Edmund Mortimer, 5th Earl of March]].<ref name="Guide">{{cite book|last=Duchas the Heritage Service (ed)|title=Trim Castle Co.
