Castle Richmond took place in Ireland at the start of its dearth. It is located on the banks of the Blackwater River in County Cork.

The complex plot is about the two Protestant cousins of English descent, Owen Fitzgerald and Herbert Fitzgerald, who competes evenly for the love of Clara Desmond, an aristocrat but not that wealthy daughter of the widowed Countess of Desmond, which is one of the salient features of the novel. Castle Richmond was the first of the numerous books of Trollope where bigamy is its main subject.
