QUEEN-Gold, is a royal duty or revenue belonging to QUEEN'S COUNTY, a division of the province of Leinster in Ireland; so called from the popish Queen Mary, in whose reign it was first made a county by the earl of Sussex, then lord-deputy. It is bounded on the south by Kilkenny and Catherlogh; by King's county on the north and west; part of Kildare and Catherlogh on the east; and part of Tipperary on the west. Its greatest length from north to south is 35 miles, and its breadth near as much; but it is unequal both ways. This county was anciently full of bogs and woods, though now pretty well inclosed, cultivated, and inhabited. The baronies contained in it are seven; and it formerly sent eight members to parliament.
