| Maurice FitzGerald, Lord of Maynooth and Naas (b 1100, d 01.09.1176) | |||||||||||||||
| Use of family names was not fully established at this time so we show continuation of the tradition of naming someone Fitz*** ('son of ..') the father (the Norman equivalent of the Irish O'***, the Scots Mac***, and the Welsh ap ***) until it becomes clear that a particular family name has been taken. After a few generations, most of his descendants took either FitzMaurice or FitzGerald as their family name. | |||||||||||||||

| According to BP1934 (FitzGerald, Knight of Kerry), John FitzThomas FitzGerald (sic) "created three of his sons by his second marriage, hereditary knights, and thus originated the titles of White Knight, the Knight of Glyn, and the Knight of Kerry." These titles are not normally viewed as formal titles but their continuation over many years has led them to be viewed with respect. Note that John & Honora are often identified as parents of Colin Fitzgerald, fictional ancestor of the Magregors. | |||||||||||||||
