McMahon or MacMahon is an Irish surname. The surname arose separately in two areas: in west County Clare and in County Monaghan. Two twin-brothers had a short feud over their fathers title of Marquis which eventually led to the splitting of his land and the brothers separately living in their new found counties. As a result of this, the County Monaghan (Airgíalla) MacMahons are not related to the County Clare (Thomond) MacMahons. McMahone was one of the four sons of Mathghamhna, who then later became known as "The Four Descendants".
Alexander "Sandy" McMahon was a Scottish footballer who spent most of his career with Celtic.
The MacMahon family originated in Ireland and established itself in France, where it gained prominence. John MacMahon, an Irish doctor born in Limerick, became naturalised in France in 1749 and married Charlotte Le Belin, Dame d'Eguilly, on 13 April 1750. That same year, King Louis XV of France created him Marquis d'Eguilly. His son, the second Marquis, served in the American War of Independence, including on the frigate Aigle which the British captured on 15 September 1782.
Patrice is a given name meaning noble or patrician, related to the names Patrick and Patricia.
The Château de Sully, situated between Autun and Beaune (Saône-et-Loire), is the largest of the Renaissance châteaux of southern Burgundy. Paired outbuildings of a more vernacular character face each other across a grassed forecourt, while to the rear is the vegetable garden, fenced by fruit trees. The château is approached by an axial stone bridge across its moat. The façades express the traditionally defensive character of the rez-de-chaussée, the ground floor, and the richer, more open aspect of the piano nobile, articulated by pilasters. Under the central pediment that breaks the line of a traditional sloping slate roof, the arched portal is scaled to admit riders and carriages. Four similarly-treated ranges, flanked by matching angled corner towers with pyramidal roofs and surrounded by the moat, enclose a Renaissance courtyard built for the Maréchal de Saulx-Tavanes, confident of Catherine de' Medici.
