Thomas FitzAnthony, Seneschal of Leinster, obtained from King John, 3 Jul 1215, a grant of the custody of counties Waterford and Desmond-except the city of Waterford-and of the castles of Waterford and Dungarvin and the city of Cork, at a rent of 250 marks a year. Charter Roll, 17 Joh., m. 20: Fine Roll, 17-18 Joh. mm. 8, 9: Patent Roll. 17 Joh., m. 20. A copy of his charter of incorporation of Grennan, now Thomastown, county Kilkenny, is on the Patent Roll [I], 32-33 Hen VIII, m. 9d. Next day, 4 Jul, the custody of the lands and heirs of Thomas Fitz Maurice were committed to him. Decies, i.e. Deisi or Deisi-Mumhan (Decies of Munster), so called to distinguish it from Decies of Meath: it comprised nearly all of county Waterford and the southern part of county Tipperary. Desmond, i.e., Des-Mumha (South Munster). He died before 26 Apr 1227, when the King gave to Richard de Burgh the custody of counties Cork and Waterford and all the lands of Decies and Desmond, which the late King had given to Thomas fitzAnthony at fee farm, and which Thomas had held until his death, together with the lands which Thomas alienated therefrom, by sale, gift, or otherwise. Patent Rolls, 11 Hen. III, m. 7; 27 Hen. III, mm. 21, 16; 31 Hen III, m. 3: Close Roll, 22 Hen. III, m. 23.
He left five daughters his coheirs. 1. Helen, wife of Gerald de la Roche 2. Denise or Dionis, wife of William de Cantelou: she died without heirs 3. Isabel, wife of Geoffrey of Norragh, living 15 Aug 1247, 4. Margery, wife of John fitzThomas and 5. Desiree, living 21 Nov 1237, wife of Stephen l'Arcedekne, living 14 Feb 1242/3. In 1231 these 5 daughters and their husbands paid their reliefs for their purparties of the lands of Thomas FitzAnthony in Leinster and county Waterford. (Pipe Roll [I], 16 Hen. III - Report on Public Records [I], 1810-1815, pp. 334-5). It is stated in the Ch. Inq. p. m. on John de Prendegaste, Edw. I, file 20, no. 11, that Gerald, Geoffrey and Stephen, above-named, were against the King at the battle of Kildare [Cuirrech Liffe, i.e. the Curragh of Kildare, 1 Apr 1234, where Richard, Earl Marshal, was mortally wounded], and therefore were unable to obtain their purparties of Decies and Desmond.
