MAURICE FitzGerald (-1257). Baron of Offaly. The Annals of Ulster record in 1257 the death of "Maurice Fitz Gerald”, a later entry recording him as “Maurice Fitz Gerald, Justiciary of Ireland for a time, dissolver of the Gaidhil and of the churches of Ireland”[552]. m JULIANA, daughter of ---. Maurice & his wife had four children:

a) GERALD FitzMaurice ([1220]-1243). m ---. The name of Gerald´s wife is not known. Gerald & his wife had two children:

i) MAURICE FitzGerald (-1268). Baron of Offaly. m firstly ---. m secondly as her first husband, AGNES de Valence Dame de Danfalize, daughter of GUILLAUME de Lusignan "de Valence" Seigneur de Valence Lord of Pembroke & his wife Joan Munchensy (-after 7 Oct 1277). An order dated 10 Apr 1275 relates to payments to "Agnes de Valence the K´s cousin" out of the estate of "Maurice Fitz Gerald her late husband"[553]. She married secondly Hugh Balliol Baron of Bywell, and thirdly Jean d'Avesnes Seigneur de Beaumont. A writ after the death of "Hugh de Balliolo", dated "10 Apr 55 Hen III", assigns her dower to "Agnes de Valentia, the king´s niece, late the wife of the said Hugh"[554]. The Chronicle of Baudouin d´Avesnes records that "Ioannes", son of "domino Balduino de Avesnes domino de Bellomonte" and his wife, married "Agnete filia domini Guillelmi de Valentia fratris regis Angliæ Henrici ex parte matris"[555]. An order dated 7 Oct 1277 relates to attorneys appointed by "John de Aveynes and Agnes his wife" relating to affairs in Ireland[556]. Maurice & his [first/second] wife had one child:

(a) GERALD FitzMaurice (-1287). Baron of Offaly. [Betrothed/m] (after 16 Jan 1283) --- de Joinville, daughter of GEOFFROY de Joinville Seigneur de Vaucouleurs, Justiciar of Ireland & his wife Matilda de Lacy. An order dated 16 Jan 1283 records "recognizance by Geofferey de Geneville, Matilda his wife and Peter their eldest son" to "William de Valence" for the commission of lands of “Maurice FitzGerald in Ireland, deceased” and for the marriage of “Gerald son and heir of the said Maurice, under age, and in custody of the said William”[557]. The Complete Peerage, assuming that Gerald’s marriage was arranged with the daughter of Geoffroy de Joinville as a result of this agreement and that the marriage took place, and calls her “as is commonly stated, Joan”[558]. No primary source is cited which confirms that this information is correct. Geoffroy de Joinville is recorded elsewhere with a daughter named “Jeanne” who married Johann [I] Graf von Salm. Unless this was Jeanne’s second marriage, it is likely that the daughter who was betrothed to or married Gerald FitzMaurice bore another name.

ii) JULIANA (-after 1309). m JOHN de Cogan (1243-1275).

b) DAVID FitzMaurice (-before 1249). Pope Alexander IV ordered the bishop of Cloyne “not to molest Maurice son of Maurice, who has appealed to the Pope, on the ground that he married Matilda, daughter of Gerald de Prendergast, she having been espoused to his late brother David who died before she was seven years old”, dated 28 Oct 1259[559]. David´s priority in the betrothal to Matilda suggests that he was probably Maurice´s older brother. Betrothed ([1249]) to MATILDA de Prendergast, widow of MAURICE de Rocheford, daughter of GERALD de Prendergast & his second wife --- de Burgh (23 Mar 1242-), who later married David´s brother Maurice.

c) MAURICE FitzMaurice (-1286). The Annals of Ulster record in 1286 the death of "Maurice Fitz Gerald the Bald”[560]. m firstly (before 28 Oct 1259) as her second husband, MATILDA de Prendergast, widow of MAURICE de Rocheford, daughter of GERALD de Prendergast & his second wife --- de Burgh (23 Mar 1242-). Inquisitions following the death of "Gerald de Prendeg" record that he married firstly "the sister of Theobald Butler”, by whom he had “one daughter surviving whom John de Cogan married and of her begat one son aged 8 at the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin 35 Hen III”, and secondly “a daughter of Richard de Burgo” by whom he had “one daughter who will be 10 at the feast of St Patrick in Lent 36 Hen III”[561]. The date of her marriage is confirmed by the order dated 28 Oct 1259 under which Pope Alexander IV instructed the bishop of Cloyne “not to molest Maurice son of Maurice, who has appealed to the Pope, on the ground that he married Matilda, daughter of Gerald de Prendergast, she having been espoused to his late brother David who died before she was seven years old”[562]. m secondly EMMELINE de Longespee, daughter of STEPHEN Longuespee [Seneschal of Gascony, Justiciar of Ireland] & his wife Emmeline de Rydeleford ([1251/52]-19 May 1331). The Book of Lacock names “Elam de la Souch…Emelinam” as the children of “Stephanus Lungespee” and his wife “Emelinam comitissam de Ulton”, adding that Emmeline married “Mauritio filio Mauritii”[563]. A writ dated 20 Jul "4 Edw I", following the death of "Emelina countess of Ulster" names "Emelina the wife of Maurice son of Maurice and daughter of the said countess aged 24 and more and Alan son of Roger la Zouche who had to wife Ela elder daughter of the said countess aged 8 are her heirs”[564]. Inquisitions made after a writ dated 10 Apr "14 Edw II", after the death of "Thomas son of Richard de Clare", record land in Ireland "Kinsale...which Emeline late the wife of Maurice son of Maurice holds in dower”[565]. A writ dated 23 May "5 Edw III", following the death of "Emelina Longespe or de Lungespe", names "Robert de Holond and Maud his wife” and “the said Maud aged 40 years is her next heir”, while a second writ dated 3 Jan “6 Edw III” and inquisitions dated 9 Mar “7 Edw III” state that Emmeline died “on Whitsunday 5 Edward III” and that “Maud sometime the wife of Robert de Houlond...and Helen her sister both aged 40 years and more are next heirs of the said Emelina”[566]. Maurice & his first wife had [two] children:

i) [AMABEL . The Complete Peerage shows “Amabel d. s.p.” as another daughter of Maurice FitzMaurice in a table which cites no sources[567]. The table does not show her alleged marriage. Burke´s Peerage shows “Amabel m. Andrew Avenel, dsp” as the daughter of Maurice FitzMaurice and his first wife, without any indication of the source on which the information is based[568]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. m ANDREW Avenell, son of ---.]
ii) JULIANA . Her parentage and two marriages are confirmed by documents attached to a writ dated 28 Jul 1292, relating to claims made by "Thomas de Clare and Maurice Fitz Maurice" against "the vill of Youghal", which include (1) an agreement dated 18 Feb 1275 relating to lands granted by Thomas to Maurice, remainder to Thomas and “the heirs of his body begotten of Juliana his wife”, (2) a writ dated 6 Apr 1292 recording that “Adam de Cretinge and Juliana his wife” had shown that “Maurice Fitz Maurice” had “enfeoffed Thomas the Clare formerly Juliana´s husband and Juliana herself” of certain property, and (3) an inquisition taken 12 Aug 1292 which found that “Thomas de Clare and Juliana his wife were jointly enfeoffed by Maurice Fitz Maurice, Juliana´s father”[569]. The identity of Juliana´s mother is confirmed by the inquisitions following the death of her stepmother Emmeline de Longespee (see above) which recorded that the heirs of the deceased were descendants of her sister, not descendants of Juliana and her husband Thomas de Clare. m firstly ([1274/12 Feb 1275]) THOMAS de Clare Lord of Thomond, son of RICHARD de Clare Earl of Gloucester and Hertford & his wife Matilda de Lacy (-29 Aug 1287). m secondly (before 6 Apr 1292) as his second wife, ADAM de Creting, son of ---. [A writ dated 8 Feb "24 Edw I", following the death of "Adam de Creting alias de Cretinge", names "John his son aged 17 [...aged 19...aged 20] is his next heir”, and inquisitions dated 30 Jun “27 Edw I”, following a writ dated 24 Sep “26 Edw I”, records “Rumford in Haveryngge [Essex]. The said Adam and Nichola his wife were enfeoffed jointly of the manor”[570]. The inquisitions include no reference to land in Ireland and it is assumed that these two writs followed the death of a different Adam de Creting.]

Father Gerald FitzMaurice, 1st Lord of Offaly

Mother Eve de Bermingham

Maurice Fitzmaurice FitzGerald I, 2nd Lord of Offaly (1194 – 20 May 1257) was a Norman-Irish peer, soldier, and Justiciar of Ireland from 1232 to 1245. He mustered many armies against the Irish, and due to his harsh methods as Justiciar, he received criticism from King Henry III of England. He was succeeded as Lord of Offaly by his son, Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly.

Career

He was born in Ireland in 1194, the son of Gerald FitzMaurice, 1st Lord of Offaly and Eve de Bermingham (died between June 1223/December 1226). He succeeded to the title of Lord of Offaly on 15 January 1204, and was invested as a knight in July 1217, at the age of 23. In 1224 he founded South Abbey, Youghal, the proto-friary of the Irish Province of the Observant Franciscans,[1] dedicated to St. Nicholas. Maurice was summoned to London to accompany King Henry III of England to Poitou and Gascony in October 1229. He was appointed Justiciar of Ireland in September 1232 and held the post until 1245. His reputation was marred by rumours that he had contrived the death of Richard Marshal, 3rd Earl of Pembroke in 1234.[2] FitzGerald met Marshal at the Battle of the Curragh on 1 April, where Marshal was wounded and died shortly after. It was rumoured that Marshal had been betrayed.[3] FitzGerald then proceeded to London, where he took an oath before Henry III, that he innocent of any participation in Marshal's death. He later founded the Dominican Abbey at Sligo, to house a community of monks to say prayers for Earl Marshal's soul.[4]

In February 1235, the King criticised him for his proceedings in office, and described him as "little pleasant, nay, beyond measure harsh in executing the King's mandates".[2] The same year, he took part in the subjugation of Connacht. In the years 1241 and 1242, and later in 1246, 1247, and 1248 he mustered armies against the Irish. In 1247, Maurice invaded Tír Chonaill, and fought the combined forces of Cineál Chonaill and Cineál Eoghain at the Battle of Ballyshannon. According to various Irish annals, three eminent lords fell in battle against him: Maol Seachlainn Ó Domhnaill, King of Tír Chonaill, An Giolla Muinealach Ó Baoighill, and Mac Somhairle, King of Argyll (a man seemingly identical to Ruaidhrí mac Raghnaill).[5]

In 1245, Maurice was dismissed from his post as Justiciar as a result of tardiness in sending the King assistance in the latter's military campaigns in Wales. His successor was John FitzGeoffrey. That same year he laid the foundations for Sligo Castle. In 1250, he held both the office of Member of the Council of Ireland, and Commissioner of the Treasury. He also founded the Franciscan Friary at Youghal; hence his nickname of an Brathair, which is Irish for The Friar.[6] He was at the English royal court in January 1252, and received an urgent summons from King Henry in January 1254.

Marriage and issue

He married Juliana de Grenville (Genealogists had previously named her as Juliana de Cogan, but this was an error since this was the name of his granddaughter through his oldest son Gerald), and by her, they had four sons:

  • Gerald FitzMaurice FitzGerald (died 1243), married a woman whose name is not recorded by whom he had a son, Maurice Roe FitzGerald (drowned July 1268 returning from England when his ship was last in the Irish Sea),[7] and a daughter, Juliana (died after 1309), wife of Sir John de Cogan, by whom she had issue.
  • Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly (1238- before 10 November 1286), married firstly, Maud de Prendergast, by whom he had two daughters; he married secondly, Emmeline Longespee.
  • David FitzMaurice FitzGerald, died childless
  • Thomas FitzMaurice FitzGerald (died 1271 Lough Mask), married Rohesia de St. Michael, by whom he had issue including John FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Kildare, 4th Lord of Offaly

Death

In 1257, Maurice and his Norman army engaged the forces led by Gofraidh Ó Domhnaill (Godfrey O'Donnell), King of Tír Chonaill at the Battle of Credan, in the north of what is now County Sligo. The two men fought each other in single combat and both were gravely wounded. Maurice died of his injuries at Youghal Monastery, wearing the habit of the Franciscans, on 20 May 1257, aged 63 years. In the Annals of the Four Masters, 1257 his death is described thus: "Maurice FitzGerald for some time Lord Justice of Ireland and the destroyer of the Irish, died." (In Irish this reads as: "Muiris macGerailt lustis Ereann re h-edh diosccaoilteach Gaoidheal d'écc".)

Upon his death, the properties of Lea, Rathangan, and Geashill passed to his grandson Maurice, son of Gerald Fitzmaurice, who died in 1243.[8]

He was succeeded as Lord of Offaly by his son, Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly, rather than the rightful successor, his grandson, Maurice, son of his eldest son, Gerald. "But others say that he never enjoyed that lordship himself, but passed it the son and grandson of his eldest brother Gerald."[9]
