Talk:Knight of Glin

IRA story
The story of the Knight of Glin refusing to leave the house is well known in the area, and was told to me by the current Knight of Glinn himself a few years ago. I think it is justified in staying in the article, as an illustration of local folklore, but needs to be flagged as such.Mark (talk) 15:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

As charming as the IRA story is, I imagine it is exaggerated. I'm sure the basis of it is recorded somewhere though. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 14:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Its reads like bullshit to me. Have you got a reference for it? If none is found it will have to be removed.--Vintagekits (talk) 17:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I didn't write it. The scum did that sort of thing though, burnt out lots of nice houses, but as they didn't have the authority to confiscate lands (as much as they thought they did) then I imagine you're correct that this story has much hyperbole within it. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 18:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Scum?--Vintagekits (talk) 19:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Bull shit? --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 19:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am saying that that section of the article reads like bullshit! How are you calling scum?--Vintagekits (talk) 19:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The whole article is bloated with original research. --House of Scandal (talk) 16:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Just to add a little more bloat, it appears there were male descendants of the 24th Knight of Glin in Ogdensburg, NY up through at least 1954, and some may still be alive today. Whether this is the senior line I do not know, but it is unlikely that the 28th Knight is the last. Choess (talk) 02:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

1260
The "bloat" mentioned above appears to also occur with "John FitzGerald, 1st Baron Desmond, of Shanid, County Limerick, Lord of Connelloe and Decies, married (first) Margery, daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Fitz-Anthony, Lord of Decies and Desmond. These domains were confirmed to him by Edward, the Black Prince in 1260." When clearly, King Henry III of England was on that throne and the Black Prince was a century later!?

Serial listing does not align
The body of the article talks about "Desmond FitzJohn Lloyd Fitzgerald" being the 27th Knight, yet the list with pictures shows him to be the 24th. I would suspect that they should align one way or the other. — billinghurst  sDrewth  12:53, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

The link goes to the O'Connor Don, which is not the same family as the O'Connor Kerry. Different heraldic symbol. 88.97.108.45 (talk) 09:47, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
