A great follow up in my search for the path from the Norman "Fitzgeralds" to my "Fitzgerald "mother..The "Cullen's," my father, are in there somewhere ...Thank you!!
Thanks for your great videos. There are so many videos on British history and so few on Irish history. I enjoyed your ones on Brian Boru as well. Just a note: the word "marches" is Frankish and comes to English from Old French. It means frontier, border or boundary. Variations exist in Old Saxon and Old German as well. Thanks for your great work.
What did you mean at 16:27 In reference to Ireland’s tradition of Catholicism, was it not Catholic for 1000 years at this point? Cheers for any clarification
Hi! What I meant by this is that the Catholic/Protestant divide had not yet set in so firmly as it would in later centuries. It was much harder to motivate Catholic lords in this period to fight in defense of the faith.
Prior to the Devotional Revolution in 19th Century Ireland, most of the Irish practiced a form of folk Catholicism and weren't particularly pious. Thus, declaring a "Catholic Crusade" in 16th Century Ireland would not ipso facto attract a lot of support.
Really did love this video, but some really big missed mention of Gerald FitzGerald "Garret the Great'" 8th Earl of Kildare's earlier history of being Lord Deputy of Ireland beginning in 1477, his backing of Lambert Simnel "The Pretender King" against King Henry the 7th, including sending his brother Thomas FitzGerald to lead a force at the Battle of Stoke Field in England in 1487 (in which his brother was killed). How he managed to still retain his title of Lord Deputy after this, until he was imprisoned in the Tower of London on charges of treason from enemy factions back in Ireland in between 1494-1496, then somehow convinces King Henry the 7th to release him and reappoint him as Lord Deputy of Ireland ONCE AGAIN, with Henry saying something along the lines of "Since all of Ireland cannot govern this Earl, let this Earl Govern all Ireland". Not to mention the legend's of The Great Earl's Ghost. These are seriously important and just generally bad*ss things to bring up in regards to the FitzGeralds of Kildares' story in general. Should throw some of that in there at the beginning.
