Joan Fitzgerald, Countess of Ormond
Joan Fitzgerald, Countess of Ormond, Countess of Desmond( ca. 1509 or ca.
1514 – 2 January 1565) was an Irish noblewoman and heiress, a member of the Norman Fitzgerald family, who were also known as the" Geraldines".
She married three times.
Her first husband was James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond, who had been proposed as a bridegroom for Anne Boleyn in 1522 to settle a dispute over the title and estates of the Earldom of Ormond.
Her second husband was courtier Sir Francis Bryan.
Her third marriage to Gerald FitzGerald, 15th Earl of Desmond brought peace to Ireland for a few years until he broke his truce with her eldest son Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond and warfare broke out between the rival Butler and Fitzgerald clans, who had been hereditary enemies for many generations.
Joan carried on an amicable correspondence with Queen Elizabeth I of England who recognised Joan's skill in diplomacy, and relied upon her to restore and keep the precarious peace in Munster.

James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond
James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond (c. 1359 – 7 September 1405), was a noble in the Peerage of Ireland.
He acceded to the title in 1382 and built Gowran Castle three years later in 1385 close to the centre of Gowran, making it his usual residence, whence his common epithet,
"The Earl of Gowran".
James died in Gowran Castle in 1405 and is buried in St. Mary's Collegiate Church Gowran together with his father James Butler, 2nd Earl of Ormond, his grandfather James Butler, 1st Earl of Ormond and his great great grandfather Edmund Butler, Earl of Carrick and 6th Chief Butler of Ireland.
James the 2nd Earl was usually called The Noble Earl, being a great-grandson, through his mother, Eleanor de Bohun, of King Edward I of England.
James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond
James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond and 2nd Earl of Ossory( 149628 October 1546), known as The Lame, was the son of Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond and Margaret Fitzgerald, Countess of Ormond.
He was created, in 1535, Viscount Thurles, and was confirmed by Act of Parliament, 6 November 1541, in the Earldom of Ormond, as 9th Earl with the pre-eminence of the original earls.
His death by poisoning in London has remained an unsolved mystery to this day.
Elizabeth Butler, Countess of Desmond
Elizabeth Butler, countess of Desmond and Lady Dingwall( c. 1585- 1628) was the only daughter of Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond, or Black Tom, and his second wife, Elizabeth Sheffield.
Little is known about her early childhood but she did spend some time England near the court of Elizabeth I of England as her father was a key figure in Elizabethan politics.
As the tenth earl of Ormond had no surviving legitimate male heirs his earldom was supposed to transfer to his brother's( Sir Edmund Butler) eldest son in Cloghgrenan.
This succession, however, was jeopardised by the outbreak of rebellion in 1596 by Thomas' Cloghgrenan family.
Thus, in order to protect his earldom, Thomas instead arranged for Elizabeth to marry Edmund's youngest son, Theobald, her cousin, who was too young to be implicated in the plot.
They received official permission from the dying queen in Christmas 1602 and soon after her death, James I ennobled Theobald as the viscount of Tulleophelim.
Despite his title, Theobald was neither wealthy nor influential and he relied upon his uncle and father- in- law, Black Tom, who proved reluctant to help out the newlyweds.
Theobald blamed his wife and allegedly abused Elizabeth.
They remained childless and after Theobald's death in 1613 the earldom of Ormond passed to Black Tom's newly anointed preferred heir, Walter Butler, the future eleventh earl of Ormond.
Financially destitute, Elizabeth had to find another husband.
In the Autumn of 1614 she married Sir Richard Preston, Lord Dingwall a courtier from Scotland despite her father's disapproval.
Black Tom died soon after and he was succeeded by Walter Butler.
Preston, therefore, challenged this succession and on 3 October 1618 Elizabeth and her spouse were awarded more than half of the Ormond estate, including Kilkenny castle, although it was several years before they were able to take up residence there due to the obstruction of Walter's lawyers.
In July 1619, Preston and Elizabeth were ennobled as the earl and countess of Desmond.
Tensions between Elizabeth and her family members led to her departure from Ireland in August 1624 and she appears never to have returned.
She died on 10 October 1628 and was eventually buried in Westminster Abbey.
Her husband, Richard, drowned at sea on the way to her funeral.
Their surviving daughter, Elizabeth Preston, would later marry her cousin, James Butler, future twelfth earl and first duke of Ormond.
