Limerick has taught my children much.Post your answer in the comments.
My history has been nobel and swift.
The Mother guides most of my clan,
and most of them never drift.
Two Marys only lasted five years as my queen.
and good Shannon's guidance is easily seen.
What am I?

Nope.
Answer: Ireland!
Limerick is the hub of Irish (University) education. Nobel prizes for Literature have gone to Irish writers. Jonathon Swift is Irish. The Mother Church guides, 88% of Ireland is Catholic. Most of the population lives within 100 miles of the capital, Dublin. Mary I ruled England & Ireland from 1553-1558 Mary II ruled England, Scotland & Ireland from 1689-1694
The River Shannon has been important throughout the history of Ireland.
Cheater.
