'''Roscommon''' ({{lang-ga|Ros Comáin}}) is the [[county town]] of [[County Roscommon]] in the [[Republic of Ireland]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The name Roscommon is derived from [[St. Coman]], who built a monastery there in the fifth century. The woods near the monastery became known as St. Coman's Wood, or Ros Comáin in Irish. This was later anglicised to Roscommon. <br />
<br />
This busy [[market town]] once had a hangwoman called Lady Betty &ndash; as well as a [[Dominican Order|Dominican]] [[Friary]], founded in [[1253]] by Felim O'Connor, King of [[Connacht]] (see [[Abbeys and priories in the Republic of Ireland]]). [[Roscommon Castle]], built in [[1269]], is an [[Normans|Anglo-Norman]] fortress.<br />
