About David Roche, 1st Baron Fermoy

The Complete Peerage (TCP, vol. V, p. 297) states that David was Lord Roche of Fermoy and that he died sometime before May 1488. The title of Viscount Roche of Fermoy was not used until 5 generations later, and then it seems to have been only a self-designation. TCP also states that David's mother was Amy MacCarthy, daughter of Donald Oge MacCarthy Mor.
