Munster. One of the four pro- 

 vim-csof Ireland. It consists of the 

 six counties lying in the S.W. of the 

 country, Clare, 

 Kerry, Cork, 

 Tipperary, Lime- 

 rick, and Water- 

 ford. Its area 

 is 9,320 sq. m., 

 making it the 

 largest of the four. 

 A mountainous 

 region, it contains 

 some of the 

 wildest and also the most beau- 

 tiful parts of Ireland. Munster 

 was one of the old Irish kingdoms, 

 and was at one time divided into 

 Thomond, the N. part, and Des- 

 mond, the S. part. Its indepen- 

 dent kings existed until the con- 

 quest by the English in the 12th 

 century, and the title remained 

 much longer. In the reign of 

 Elizabeth a president was appointed 

 to govern Munster, which about 

 this time was divided into coun- 

 ties. See Ireland ; Thomond. 



Munster. Town of Alsace, 

 France. It stands beneath the 

 Vosges, where two small streams 

 unite, 11 m. from Colmar. It has 

 some textile industries, and the 

 buildings include a Romanesque 

 church and a theatre. A Bene- 

 dictine abbey, founded in the 7th 

 century, was the nucleus of the 

 town, which was made a free im- 

 perial city in the 13th century. 

 In the 17th century it passed with 

 Alsace to France ; from 1871-1919 

 it was German, being restored to 

 France after the Great War. The 

 fertile valley of Munster, through 

 which the river Fecht flows, is 

 noted for its cheese. Pop. 6,000.

 (Jcnnany. It is 78 m. N.N.E. of

mund-Ema canal. The 13th cen- duke of Clarence, afterward*

I.Iunster arms 



Gothic churches of S. Lambert and 

 iily. .iii.l the old monastery 

 of S. Ludger are the chief ecclesi- 

 astical buildings. The peace of 

 Westphalia was signed in 1648 in 

 the Friedenssaal (peace chamber) 

 in the 14th century Gothic town 

 hall. The castle, formerly the 

 residence of the prince bishop, is 

 now used for administrative offices. 

 The town has quaint gabled houses, 

 arcades and irregular streets. The 

 old fortifications have been rased 

 and turned into promenades. The 

 university, founded in 1771, was 

 reorganized in 1902. Westpnalian 

 hams and pumpernickel, linen and 

 cotton textiles, paper and leather 

 goods, beer and spirits are the 

 principal articles of manufacture. 

 ^ The bishopric was founded by 

 Charlemagne in 791. The bishops 

 became princes of the empire in the 

 12th century, and Munster after- 

 wards joined the Hanseatic League. 

 John of Leiden, the Anabaptist 

 leader, set up here the kingdom of 

 Zion, which was suppressed in 

 1535, the bodies of the leaders being 



exposed in three 

 iron cages attached 

 to S. Lambert's in 

 1536. The lands 

 of the bishopric 

 were secularised in 

 1803 and divided 

 in 1814 between 

 Prussia, Hanover, 

 and Oldenburg.
