Web Notes notes for David FitzDavid BARRY 3d Lord Barry
David FitzDavid Barry, became 3rd Lord Barry, Barrymore or Buttevant in 1285, brother and heir of 2d Lord Barry. His older brother surrendered the cantred of Olethan to him in 1284, and the cantred of Muscry-Donnegan in 1285.66

David III was his heir but the lordship seems to have been taken by a relative, Sir John de Barry, who was knighted in 1283. Two legal actions resulted in the restoration by Sir John to David fitz David de Barry of the manor of the castle of Olethan (Castlelyons), and the manors of Buttevant, Liscarroll and 'Ardnogrothan.' Yet it was under the protection of this John, according to Archdall, that the Carmelite friary of Castlelyons was founded in 1307. John had also alienated lands in Gortroe parish -- Rathcobane to William de Barry and Killamurren to Nicholas de Barry of Ely. This latter place was Ely O Carroll where the Barry's held lands for a time before being driven out by the O Carrolls. All these dealings came to light in 1358 when a series of royal writs was issued to clear up the legal tangle. At that stage the lands in question had been taken into the king's hands due to alienations without licence. However, it was proved that at the time of the alienations the lands were not held of the king in capite but of Maruice de Carew, who was regarded as the heir to Fitzstephen's moiety of the Kingdom of Cork, and so did not require a licence to alienate. Therefore the Barrys got their lands back, the then heir being yet another David (probably Dáibhidh Loscanach). It was made clear that the Barrys had become tenants in capite of the king in 1336, in which year they recieved a quitclaim from the Carews.67

He lived in 1284 at Olethan. He lived in 1285 at Muscry-Donnegan, County Cork, Ireland. He succeeded to the title of 3rd Lord Barry [I., c. 1261] after 1285. G.E. Cokayne; with Vicary Gibbs, H.A.
