'''Gearoid Mór Fitzgerald''' KG, the 8th Earl of Kildare (d. c. 3 September 1513), known variously as Garret the Great or the Great Earl, was Ireland's premier nobleman.

They were descended from Gerard de Windsor and Nest, the daughter of the last King of Deheubarth. One of his ancestors, Maurice Fitzgerald de Windsor, known as the Invader of Ireland had travelled to Ireland with Richard de Clare (Strongbow).

However, Henry needed Fitzgerald to rule in Ireland, and at the same time couldn't control him.English rule between 1477 and 1494. This independence ended when his enemies in Ireland seized power and had him sent to London as a traitor. He suffered a double blow: he was imprisoned in the Tower of London, and his wife died soon after. He was tried in 1496, and used the trial to convince Henry VII that the ruling factions in Ireland were "false knaves".

Edward IV's reforms of the Dublin administration in 1479 had this in mind, but Henry Tudor's later efforts to wean Kildare away from his Yorkist sympathies (see wars of the roses) were much more protracted. By 1496, however, Sir Edward Poynings had eliminated Ireland's potential as a Yorkist bridgehead.
