About Honorable Elizabeth Fitzpatrick



James was born about 1622. His death came at age 30 in 1652. His widow Lady Elizabeth, sister to the Duke of Ormond, was forced to transplant to Connaught the year after her husband died. This was a result of Cromwell's invasion and confiscation of the land of Irish Catholics.

James Purcell (1609-1652) 12th Baron of Loughmoe married the sister of the 1st Duke of Ormond, Elizabeth Butler (1613-1675). He is buried at Holycross Abbey. His son Nicholas was the last Baron of Loughmoe. James and Nicholas lost their lands at Ballysallagh and Loughmoe in 1653 under the Cromwellian seizures and in the 1652 Act of Settlement.

Lady Elizabeth's relationship to the Duke of Ormond helped with her speedy return. She rented the Castle of Loughmore from William Barker. Her brother, the Duke, was created Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was able to return his own estates and that of Elizabeth's son Nicholas who had been born in1651.

Elizabeth Purcell remarried Col. John Fitzpatrick.

History of Ormonde Castle

Built before 1315, the original castle was acquired that year by the Butler Family after it was taken from the Wall Family. James Butler would eventually be granted the title 1st Earl of Ormond.[2]

Sometime after 1565, Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormonde, spent many years at the court of his cousin, through Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth I. He carried from England regard for Elizabethan-style architecture and added a Tudor manor house to the property, the first of its kind in Ireland.[3]

In the 17th century the house was a favorite residence for James Butler, the 'Great Duke of Ormonde,' but the Butlers abandoned the home after James' death in 1688. The home remained a possession of the family until the middle of the 20th century. In 1947 the house was given over to state agencies who restored the historic structures.[4]

The manor house is enhanced by the mullioned windows on both floors to the front and the oriel windows of the porch in the centre of the facade. The gallery on the first floor features two carved stone chimneypieces and a ceiling and frieze of Elizabethan plasterwork.

The U-shape of the manor house surrounds a small courtyard that abuts the north of the castle's bawn. The manor has two floors and a gabled attic.

The most notable restoration achievement was that of the long gallery on the first floor of the facade, where the ceiling had largely collapsed. This room once hung with tapestries, has a magnificent limestone fireplace bearing the date 1565, and has stucco representations of Queen Elizabeth flanked by Equity and Justice. It is said that she had promised her cousin that she would one day visit.

Namesake in the United States Ormond Plantation House in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana — named Ormond by Colonel Richard Butler, the owner from 1805 to 1819. References
