  • Notes 
    • Thomas FitzMaurice FitzGerald (c. 1175 – 1213)[1] of Shanid,[2] Lord of O'Connelloe,[3] was the son of Maurice FitzGerald, Lord of Lanstephan.

      Thomas was the progenitor[4][5][6] of the Geraldine House of Desmond, and brother of Gerald FitzMaurice, 1st Lord of Offaly, progenitor of the Geraldine House of Kildare.

      In 1210, Thomas invaded Connacht with Geoffrey de Marisco at the head of a force of Anglo-Norman troops gathered in Munster, and of followers of Donnchad Cairprech Ó Briain, King of Thomond.[7]

      This expedition aided in forcing Cathal Crobhdearg Ua Conchobair, King of Connacht into negotiations with John de Gray, Justiciar of Ireland.[8]
