Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals.

  • Castletown List 55
    National Library of Ireland Collection List No. 55 Lord Castletown Papers (Mss 35,295-332) (Accession 2503) Compiled by Mary Colley, 2000 The papers of Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, consisting of correspondence and papers mainly relating to his literary and cultural activities and his political involvements. There is also a relatively small amount of material relating to the management of his estates. Introduction The Lord Castletown Papers were mainly generated by Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, who was descended from a branch of the illustrious family of Mac Giolla Phádraig. In Gaelic times this branch of the FitzPatricks ruled the area of the present counties Laois and Kilkenny, successive heads of the family being styled chiefs or lords of Upper Ossory. The chiefs were generally politically adroit, and managed to retain their extensive estates even in the most adverse circumstances. For instance, in the reign of Henry VIII, Barnaby (or Bryan) FitzPatrick made a timely submission, whereupon he had his estates re-granted and was subsequently created Baron of Upper Ossory, a title that remained in the family for a century and a half. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, heads of the family were again ennobled and held the titles Baron Gowran and Earl of Upper Ossory. Following a break in the succession, in 1869 John Wilson FitzPatrick was created 1st Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory. On his death in 1883, his only son, Bernard, succeeded to the title as 2nd Lord Castletown, and inherited the extensive family estate based on Granston Manor in Queen's County, the present Co.

    To Plant and Improve: Justifying the Consolidation of Tudor and Stuart Rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625 Samantha Watson A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Languages Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences September 2014 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Watson First name: Samantha Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Humanities and Languages Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: To plant and improve: justifying the consolidation of Tudor and Stuart rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis aims to examine the ideologies employed in justifying English conquest and plantation of Ireland between 1509 and 1625. It adopts the methodology of a contextualist intellectual history, which situates the sources within the intellectual and material world, and in relation to the publically approved paradigms, available to the authors. The thesis encompasses a range of source material - correspondence, policy papers and published tracts - from major and minor figures in government and undertakers of colonisation schemes. The source material will be examined with respect to the major upheavals in intellectual culture in late medieval and early modern England and, in particular, the impact of major pan- European movements, the Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance. Focussing on the ethics associated with the spread of Renaissance humanism and Calvinist Protestantism, it explores socio-political ideas in England and examines the ways that these ideas were expressed in relation to Ireland.

Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY MR. MARTIN RYAN Kilcroan, Kilsallagh, Castlerea, Co. Galway. I was born in the month of June 1889, at Kilcroan, Kilsallagh, Castlerea, Co. Galway, and educated at Kilcroan National School until I reached the age of about 15 years. I attended the same school during winter months for a few years afterwards. My first association with the Irish Volunteers was in the year 1917. I cannot be more exact with regard to the date. The place was Roscommon town. I remember that I got an invitation to attend a meeting there called for the purpose of reorganising the Volunteers. Accompanied by John Harte from my own locality and Owen O'Neill and Michael Hurley from the Glynsk area, I attended the meeting which on a was held Sunday in a hall in the town. The organisers, as far as I remember; were either Dublin men or they came to the meeting from Dublin. I remember distinctly that there was a force of about 20 R.I.C. outside the hall while the meeting was in progress. They did not interfere with us during or after the meeting, but of course they would know us again. The Ballymoe company was formed soon after, and I became a member of it.

  • Fitzpatrick Arms, Crests, Mottos and Supporters Ronan Fitzpatrick
    Fitzpatrick Arms, Crests, Mottos and Supporters Ronan Fitzpatrick It is generally believed that the art of heraldry was introduced to Ireland by the Normans c1170 but the origin of Giolla Phadraig and Fitzpatrick heraldry awaits discovery among some family records, in some archive or some library somewhere. Since the authority of this ancient clan was well established in those distant centuries, it seems natural to accept that they would have had their own distinguishing standards, banners or flags by which they were easily recognised. However, the oldest record that this research has located is the Carew Papers of c1600. By coincidence, these are clearly associated with the Lord Barons of Upper Ossory, styled Fitzpatrick. The papers contain two hand-sketched black and white illustrations and while the shield in both illustrations is the same, the chiefs are different. The shield is sable with saltire argent, that is, the shield is coloured black with a saltire or diagonal cross coloured white. Lord of Upper Osserey McGilpatricke in the Queens County c1600 One of the Carew illustrations belongs to either, Bryan, Lord and First Baron of Upper Ossory (c1485-1575) or his son Florence, Lord and Third Baron of Upper Ossory (d1613). The source indicates that Florence was still living at the time the illustration was sketched. This chief is argent, three torteaux, gules, thereon each a sunray, or. That is, the chief Sable a saltire argent, on a chief of the last, three torteaux, gules, (section above the black shield) is coloured white, with three discs thereon each a sunray, or.
