Catherine FITZGERALD (C.
Desmond)
Died: 1604
Notes: The Old Countess. See The Complete Peerage vol.IV,p.250,note a for
a discussion of her age at death. The 'old' Countess of Desmond, daughter of
Sir John Fitzgerald, lord of Decies. Became the second wife of Thomas
Fitzgerald, Earl of Desmond, some time after 1505. He died in 1534 at the
age of eighty, leaving a daughter by her, so that her marriage is unlikely to
have taken place after 1524. Sir Walter
Raleigh in his History of the World (1614) stated that the 'old
countess' was living in 1589 'and many years since'. That her death
occurred in 1604 is stated in a manuscript of Sir George
Carew's preserved in Lambeth Library. In his Itinerary (1617)
Fynes Morison states that in our time' she had lived to the age of
'about' 140, she was able in her last years to go on foot three or four miles to
the market town, and only a few years before her death all her teeth were
renewed. Sir John
Harrington, speaking in 1605 of the wholesomeness of the country,
said that 'where a man hath lived to above 140 years, a woman, and she a
countess, above 120, the country is likely to be healthy'. The story of her
death being due to a fall from an apple, cherry or walnut tree is almost
certainly apocryphal. That she lived to the age of 140 is, of course, highly
unlikely, but it may reasonably be concluded that she reached at least 104 and
may very well have lived well beyond that age.

Notes: succeeded on his father's execution in 1467. Received immunity for
any act which he had committed to avenge his father's death. He was a man of
singular prudence and largely to the detriment of the Irish did he increase the
territories he had acquired. King Richard III endeavoured to attach him
to his interests, and sent him a collar of gold weighing 20 oz., with the device
of a white boar, pendant from a circlet of roses and suns, but the Earl
augmented his Irish alliances, and retained his Irish habits. He was murdered at
Rathkeale, 7 Dec 1487 (aged 28) possibly at the instigation of his brother and
successor, John Montagh Fitzgerald of Clenglish.

Succeeded on the death of his brother in 1487. Being lame, and usually carried
in a horse litter, he was styled "Vehiculus", or by some, on account of his
bravery "Bellicosus". He sided with the pretender, Perkin
Warbeck, in the siege of Waterford and other expeditions.
Nevertheless, making humble submission, the King not only
forgave, but took him into favor, 26 Aug 1497, and granted him all the "customs,
cockets, poundage, and prize-wines of Limerick, Cork, Kingsale, Baltimore, and
Youghall, with other privileges and advantages.

Acceded: 1520
Died: 18 Jun 1529
Buried: Friars Preachers, Tralee, Ireland
Notes: The Complete Peerage vol.IV,p.249. Succeeded on his father's death
in 1520. In 1529 he proferred fealty to the Emperor Carlos V, and
declared himself willing to enter into a league against England. The
Emperor commissioned his chaplain to visit Ireland. The report of his
mission to Dingle, of the resources of the country, of the demeanour of the
Earl, and his reasons for hostility to England, as given by Mr.
Froude in his History of England, are extremely interesting. The chaplain
writes: "The Earl himself is from thirty to forty years old, and is rather
above the middle height. He keeps better justice throughout his dominions than
any other chief in Ireland. Robbers and homicides find no mercy, and are
executed out of hand. His people are in high order and discipline. they are
armed with short bows and swords. The Earl's guard are in a mail from neck to
heel, and carry halberds. He has also a number of horse, some of whom know how
to break a lance. They all ride admirably, without saddle or stirrup". A
skirmish between him and Ormond was thus reported to Henry VIII by
the Lord Lieutenant: "In the sayd conflyct were slayn of the said Earl
of Desmonde's party xviii banners of galoglas, bee commonly in every baner lxxx
men, and the substance of xxiv baners of horsemen, which be xx under every banr
at the leest, and under some xxx, xl, and l; and emonges others was slayne the
said Erll is kinnesman, Sir John FitzGerot, and Sir John of Desmond takyn, and
his son slayne, and Sir Gerald of Desmond, another of his uncles, sore wounded
and takyn; with many others whereof the certainte yet appereth not... His
discomfyture and losse may bee right hurtfull; the moost part of theym that
overthrew him bee Irishmen; and I feare it shall cause theyme to wex the more
prowder, and also cause other Irishmen to take pride therein, setting the less
by Englishmen".

Notes: Her father was of the family of

lords who settled in Ireland in the time of Henry II. It is interesting to note that not only did her first husband
die unpleasantly, Sir
Francis Bryan died of unknown causes while it is
said, Joan was seeing Gerald FitzGerald, the Rebel Earl, who would
become her third husband. There was no issue of the third marriage. Joan
died 2 Jan 1564/5. There was no mystery of FitzGerald's death; he was
attainted, chased down and on 11 Nov 1583 slain, and his head sent to Queen
Elizabeth.

death in 1529. He was known as "Sir Thomas the Bald", and "Thomas the
Victorious". He win nine battles. Two Lords of Muskerry fell beneath his sword.
He took up the intrigues of his predecessor. The King without
hesitation established him in the earldom, merely endeavouring with friendly
phrases to induce him to send his grandson and heir to his Majesty's court;
which with phrases equally amiable, the Earl showed the impossibility of his
doing. Eventually embarrassments attendant on the question of the succession
obliged him to make every profession of loyalty to the King.

Notes: The Court Page. Assasinated. The Complete Peerage vol.IV,p.251.
Called the "Court Page", having been hostage for his grandfather at the court of
Windsor. On the earldom becoming vacant in 1534, Henry VIII
loaded him with honours, and fitted out ships to accompany him to the Irish
shores, and provided him with a number of men who were ready to stand by him
against those who were inclined to dispute his title to the patrimonial honours
and inheritance. His title to the earldom was disputed by his grand-uncle,
Sir John, who being supported by a large faction, was de facto 13th Earl.
This Sir John died about Christmas 1536. The "Court Page" did not long
enjoy his honours, for he was murdered at Leacan Sgail in Kerry, by his cousin,
Maurice an totean, son of his late opponent [Sir John Desmond], 19 Mar
1540. He married Mary MacCarthy, a daughter of his grand-uncle Cormac
Oge MacCarthy.
