Theobald was the ancestor of the Butler family of Ireland. He was also involved in the invasions of Ireland by Kings Henry II of England and John of England. He also held the office of Butler of England and was for a time the High Sheriff of Lancashire.[1] His eldest brother Hubert Walter became the Archbishop of Canterbury and justiciar and Lord Chancellor of England. Family

He was the son of Hervey Walter and his wife Maud de Valoignes, who was one of the daughters of Theobald de Valoignes.[2] Their children were:

   * Theobald le Botiller,

   * Hubert,

   * Walter,

   * Roger and

   * Hamon.

Maud's sister Bertha married Ranulf de Glanvill, the great justiciar of Henry II. Hubert, the second son, was born at Weft-Derham in Norfolk, where he built a Monastery. He was brought up, along with his brother Theobald, by his uncle Ranulf de Glanvill.[3] Under his uncle's eye, Hubert rose to an important position in the Curia Regis.[2][4] [edit] Career

Theobald's father had been the hereditary holder of the office of butler of England, and when Theobald accompanied Prince John to Ireland in 1185,[5] he was named Butler of Ireland, as well as a large section of the northeastern part of the kingdom of Limerick.[4]

The king conferred upon him the Butlership of Ireland in 1177, whereby he and his successors were to attend the Kings of England at their coronation, and that day present them with the first cup of wine. Some time after, that King granted him the prisage of wines, to enable him, and his heirs, the better to fupport the dignity of that office. By this grant, he had two tons of wine out of every ship, which broke bulk in any trading port of Ireland, and was loaded with 20 tons of that commodity, and one ton from 9 to 20.[3]

He was active in the war that took place when Rory O'Connor attempted to regain his throne after retiring to a monastery, as Theobald's men were involved in the death of Dermot MacCarthy during a parley in 1185 near Cork.[6] In 1194 Theobald supported his brother during Hubert's actions against Prince John, with Theobald receiving the surrender of John's supporters in Lancaster. Theobald was rewarded with the office of sheriff of Lancaster, which he held until Christmas of 1198. He was again sheriff after John took the throne in 1199.[7]

In early 1200, however, John deprived Theobald of all his offices and lands because of Theobald's irregularities as sheriff. His lands were not restored until January 1202.[8]

Theobald founded the Abbey of Owney in the townsland of Abington Irish: Mainistir Uaithne (meaning "the monastery of Uaithne") [9] near the modern village of Murroe in County Limerick Ireland around 1200.[10] He also founded the Cockersand Abbey in Lancaster, Abbey of Nenagh in County Tipperary, and a monastic house at Arklow in County Wicklow.[2] [edit] Issue

He married Maud le Vavasour, heiress of Robert le Vavasour, a Baron of Yorkshire,[2] in 1189.[11] He died between 4 August 1205 and 14 February 14, 1206, and was buried at Woney. They had issue:

   * Theobald le Botiller, 2nd Chief Butler of Ireland[2]

   * Maud

   * Beatrice, to whom he gave a large estate in marriage with Thomas de Hereford, after whose death she remarried with Sir Hugh Purcell, Knight of Loughmoe (Loughmore), County Tipperary.
