Talk:Gerald FitzGerald, 11th Earl of Kildare

Untitled
The "Cardinal of Mantua" is likely a Gonzaga, but which one? Charles Matthews (talk) 09:23, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Can the following be corroborated: "FitzGerald was said to have been married to Ellinor O'Kelly by Thomas Leverous (later Bishop of Kildare) in 1545. However, because of the machinations of the 11th Earl's brother, their son, Gerald FitzGerald of Moret, was outlawed and stigmatised. For several years, the boy was concealed and brought up by his mother's family. During this period, the report of illegitimacy was given credence." I do not think so given the dates that are mentioned. The 11th earl of Kildare was not in Ireland at this time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.227.52.169 (talk) 12:10, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

The complete first paragraph under Marriage section is wrong and may have resulted from a misreading of Dix's FitzGerald's of Queen's county. Firstly, this is a legend with no historical documentation to back it up and secondly Gerald (Garret) of Morett was not stigmatised nor outlawed for this reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oisin77 (talk • contribs) 07:07, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
