What is recorded here

Gormanston Castle anchored the Preston family in County Meath from the fourteenth century, surviving treason, outlawry and two world wars because blood and stubbornness keep a house alive longer than stone alone. Robert Preston became the first Viscount in 1478, and his descendants carried the title through James II, the suppression of the 1798 rebellion and the Battle of France, where a seven-month-old boy became the seventeenth Viscount. The castle may have lost rooms, fittings or even a clear outline, but it still belongs to one of the oldest noble lines in the British Isles, and that continuity is the strange part.
