Web Notes notes for David BARRY 5th Lord Barry
David Barry, became 5th Lord Barry, Barrymore, or Buttevant, about 1330, upon the death of his brother. He was summoned to Parliament in 1339, and was Sheriff of Co Cork 1344.68
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 license. 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 license 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 received a quitclaim from the Carews.
