Web Notes notes for Mór O'CARROLL Countess Of Desmond
2d wife of James Fitzgerald. Daughter of Maolruanaidh O Cearbhhaill.
Maolroona's daughter Mave married James 15th Earl of Desmond and was mother of Gerald 16th Earl. "Ingens rebillibus exemplar" She was attained and slain in 1583 for upholding the cause of Catholicity - vide Lodge. Grate, another daughter, married 1st Earl of Clonrichard and was mother of 2nd Earl - vide Carrew Mss 1544.
This James began by repudiating the daughter of Viscount Fermoy, by whom he had a son, Thomas Ruadh (red). The Earl then married the daughter of O'Carroll, by whom he had two sons, Gerald or Garrett, and John. His second wife having died, he married the daughter of M'Carty, who was mother to James. After the Earl's death a doubt existed regarding the legitimacy of the eldest son, Thomas Ruadh; and Garret, the son of Desmond by his second wife, the daughter of O'Carroll, was named Earl. The name of the Countess of Desmond was Mora ni O'Carroll, which appears from a Fiant of Henry VIII AD 1541 (202)--Grant of English liberty to Mora Ene O'Carroll, wife of the Earl of Desmond and her issue.32
