Notes.

Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond
Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond and 1st Earl of Ossory (c. 1467 ·Äì 26 August 1539), also known as (Irish Piers Ruadh) Red Piers, was from the Polestown branch of the Butler family of Ireland.
During the prolonged absence from Ireland of the earls, his father Sir James Butler (d.1487) had laid claim to the Ormond land and titles. This had precipitated a crisis in the Ormond succession when the seventh earl later died without a male heir. On 20 March 1489, King Henry VII appointed him High Sheriff of County Kilkenny. He was knighted prior to September 1497. The following year (1498) he seized Kilkenny Castle and with his wife, Margaret FitzGerald (d.1542), the dynamic daughter of the earl of Kildare, probably improved the living accommodation there.
On 28 February 1498 he received a pardon for crimes committed in Ireland, including the murder of James Ormonde, heir to the 7th Earl. He was also made Senechal of the Liberty of Tipperary on 21 June 1505, succeeding his distant relation, James Butler, 9th Baron Dunboyne. On the death of Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormonde on 3 August 1515, Piers Butler became the 8th Earl of Ormond. On 6 March 1522, the King appointed him Chief Governor of Ireland as Lord Deputy; he held this office until 13 May 1524 when he became Lord Treasurer.
One of the heirs general to the Ormond inheritance was Thomas Boleyn, whose mother was a Butler. Boleyn was the father of Anne, whose star was rising at the court of King Henry VIII of England. As the king wanted the titles of Ormond and Wiltshire for Thomas Boleyn, he induced Butler and his coheirs to resign their claims on 18 February 1528. Aided by the king's Chancellor, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Butler was granted the earldom of Ossory.
On 22 February 1538, the earldom of Ormond was restored to him. He died on 26 August 1539 and was buried in St Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny city .
In about 1485, he married Lady Margaret FitzGerald, daughter of Gerald FitzMaurice FitzGerald, 8th Earl of Kildare and Alison FitzEustace. The marriage was political; arranged with the purpose of healing the breach between the two families.[1] In the early years of their marriage, Margaret and her husband were reduced to penury by James Dubh Butler, a nephew, heir to the earldom and agent of the absentee 7th Earl, who resided in England.[2] Piers Butler retaliated by murdering James Dubh in an ambush in 1497. He was pardoned for his crime on 22 February 1498.
They had 3 sons and six daughters.
Sons:
James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond (c. 1501 ·Äì 1546), also called "the lame", who married Lady Joan FitzGerald, daughter and heiress of James FitzGerald, 10th Earl of Desmond, and had issue.
Richard Butler, 1st Viscount Mountgarret (1500 ·Äì 20 May 1571), married his first cousin Eleanor Butler, daughter of his uncle Theobald Butler. They had issue.
Thomas Butler, who was slain by Dermoid Mac Shane, Mac GillPatrick of Ossory, and left an only daughter Margaret, first married to Rory O'Moore of Laois, and lastly to Sir Maurice Fitzgerald of Lackagh.
Daughters:
Margaret Butler, married firstly to Thomas, second son of the Earl of Desmond, and secondly to Barnaby Fitzpatrick, 1st Baron Upper Ossory and had issue.[3]
Catherine Butler {1506·Äì1552/53} married Richard Lord Le Poer; parents of Lord John Le Poer-husband of Ellen, daughter of James 14th Earl of Desmond.
Joan Butler (b. 1528), married James Butler, 10th Baron Dunboyne.
Ellice Butler (1481·Äì1530). Married firstly to MacMorrish; and secondly in 1503 to Gerald Fitzgerald, 3rd Lord Decies (1482·Äì1533)-grandson of James FitzGerald, 6th Earl of Desmond.
Eleanor Butler who married Thomas Butler, 1st Baron Cahir.
Helen Butler (1523·Äì1597), (or Ellen) married Donough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Thomond, son of Conor O'Brien, Prince of Thomond and Annabell de Burgh.
The Earl had an illegitimate son, Edmund Butler, who became the Archbishop of Cashel. The Earl also had an illegitimate elder brother, Theobald Butler.
Great-great-grandfather: James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond
Great-grandfather: Sir Richard Butler of Polestown
Grandfather: Sir Edmund MacRichard Butler of Polestown
Father: Sir James Butler of Polestown. His mother, Sabh Kavanagh, was the daughter of Donal Reagh MacMorrough Kavanagh.

Butler, Pierce (d.1539) by Thomas Finlayson Henderson ·Äé
BUTLER, Sir PIERCE or PIERS, eighth Earl of Ormonde and first Earl of Ossory (d. 1539), was descended from the Butlers, baronets of Poolestown, and was the son of Sir James Butler and Sawe (Sabina), daughter of Donnell Reogh MacMurrough Cavenagh, prince of his sept. He succeeded Thomas, seventh earl of Ormonde, in 1515. He took a prominent part in suppressing the Irish rebellions, and when the Earl of Surrey, who was his intimate friend, left the kingdom in 1521, he was appointed lord-deputy. Owing to the representations of the Talbots he was removed from the government in 1524, but the king, to indicate his disagreement with the decision of the commissioners, created him on 13 May lord-treasurer of Ireland. At the special request of the king he surrendered the earldom of Ormonde to Sir Thomas Boleyn (or Bullen), grandson of the seventh earl of Ormonde and brother of Anne Boleyn, and in lieu thereof he was created Earl of Ossory by patent dated 23 Feb. 1527·Äì8. By Lodge and other authorities it is stated that the earldom of Ormonde was restored to Sir Pierce Butler on 22 Feb. 1537·Äì8, on the death of Sir Thomas Boleyn; but, as is shown by Mr. J. H. Round (Foster, Collect. Geneal. vol. i.), the grant of the earldom was made before the death of Thomas Boleyn, earl of Wiltshire and Ormonde, and that the earldom was a new one is sufficiently attested by the fact that it was limited to heirs male of his body. After its conferment ·Äòthe Earl of Wilts,·Äô as is mentioned in the ·ÄòCarew State Papers,·Äô ·Äòwas content to be so named earl of Ormonde in Ireland, semblably as the two Lords Dacres be named the one of the south and the other of the north·Äô (Calendar, Carew MSS. 1515·Äì1574, p. 127). The Earl of Ormonde manifested the sincerity of his loyalty by his activity in taking measures for crushing the insurrection of his brother-in-law, Lord Thomas Fitzgerald, and after the latter's execution he was rewarded by a large grant of lands. He afterwards turned his arms against the Earl of Desmond, who submitted and took an oath of fidelity. He died on 21 or 26 Aug. 1539, and was buried in the chancel of St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny. He is stated to have been ·Äòa man of great honour and sincerity, infinitely good-natured.·Äô He brought over to Kilkenny artificers and manufacturers from Flanders and the neighbouring provinces, whom he employed in working tapestry, diaper, Turkey carpets, and similar industries. By his wife Margaret, daughter of Gerald Fitzgerald, earl of Kildare, he had three sons and six daughters. His second son, Richard, created Viscount Mountgarret, 23 Oct. 1550, was grandfather of Richard, third Viscount Mountgarret [q. v.] His eldest son, James, created Viscount Thurles in 1535, became ninth Earl of Ormonde, married Lady Joan Fitzgerald, daughter and heiress of James, eleventh earl of Desmond, was suspected of hostility to the English government, and was poisoned while in London at a supper at Ely House. He died on 28 Oct. 1546. His son Thomas (1532·Äì1614) [q. v.] succeeded to the earldom.

See his Biography.
Known as the "Red Piers". 1st. Seneschal of the Liberty of Tipperary. Chief Governor of Ireland. Piers married Margaret FitzGerald, daughter of the 8th Earl of Kildare. This couple were great builders. They are credited with important additions to Granagh Castle in Kilkenny; they rebuilt another Butler castle at Gowran, Kilkenny; founded Kilkenny College (one of Ireland's oldest surviving schools) in 1536 and they were also responsible for work at Ormond Castle.
In the early years of their marriage Piers and his wife were reduced to penury by Sir James Dubh "Black James" Ormond, the ambitious agent, and bastard nephew, of the absentee Thomas, 7¬âˆž Earl of Ormond. Such was their plight that they were forced to lurk in the woods where Margaret, being great with child and upon necessity constrained to use a spare diet (for her only sustenance was milk) she longed sore for wine; and calling her lord and a trusty servant of his, James White, unto her, she requested them both to help her to some wine. "Truly, Margaret', quoth Sir Piers, 'Thou shalt have store of wine within this four and twenty hours, or else thou shalt feed alone on milk for me'.
The next day following Piers, having intelligence that his enemy, the base Butler, would have travelled from Donmore to Kilkenny; notwithstanding he were accompanied with six horesemen, yet Piers having none but his lackey, did forestal him in the way, and with a courageous charge gored the bastard through with his spear. Piers himself then became Ormond's agent and presumably Margaret got her wine. But it required all his pertinacity to get himself recognised as the true heir to the earldom. The existence of two elder brothers would have been an insuperable stumbling block, had not both of them been born before their parents had received the necessary papal dispensation for marriage. Then there was the Boleyn bombshell.
Forced to give up Earldom of Ormonde to Anne Boleyn's father, Sir Thomas Boleyn, in 1529, after Henry VIII fell for her, in return Butler was created 1st Earl of Ossory. After the fall of Anne Boleyn 1536, and the death shortly after without male heir of her father, he succeeded in regaining Earldom of Ormonde, always numbered as 8th Earl (Boleyn not counted). Piers emerged from the interlude with two Earldoms and died the next year in 1539. He was the first of the earls of Ormond to be buried in St Canice's Cathedral.

Butler, Edmund by John Thomas Gilbert
BUTLER, EDMUND (d. 1551), archbishop of Cashel, illegitimate son of Piers, eighth Earl of Ormonde, studied at Oxford, became a canon regular of St. Augustine, and was appointed prior of the abbey of that order at Athassel in the county of Tipperary. In 1524 Butler was nominated by the pope to the archbishopric of Cashel, with permission to retain the priory of Athassel. The consecration of Butler took place in 1527. He was a member of the privy council in Ireland, held a provincial synod at Limerick in 1529, and, on the dissolution of religious houses in Ireland, surrendered the abbey of Athassel to the crown.
Butler was present in the parliament at Dublin in 1541 which enacted the statute conferring the title of 'King of Ireland' on Henry VIII and his heirs. The communication addressed to the king on this subject, bearing the signature of the Archbishop of Cashel, has been reproduced on plate lxxi in the third part of 'Facsimiles of National Manuscripts of Ireland.' Butler's autograph and archiepiscopal seal were attached to the 'Complaint' addressed to Henry VIII in 1542 by 'the Gentlemen, Inheritors, and Freeholders of the county of Tipperary.' This document also appears in the same 'Facsimiles.' A letter from Butler to the Protector, Somerset, in 1548, is preserved among the state papers in the Public Record Office, London. In 1549-50 Butler took part at Limerick with James, Earl of Desmond, and the king's commissioners, in the enactment of ordinances for the government of Munster. References to Butler and his proceedings concerning public affairs in the districts of Ireland with which he was connected occur in the English governmental correspondence of his time. Butler died in March 1550-1, and was buried in the cathedral, Cashel, under an elaborate marble monument which he had erected, but which does not now exist.

EARLDOM OF ORMOND [IRL] VIII. 8. SIR PIERS BUTLER, called "The Red Piers," cousin and heir male of Thomas (Butler, otherwise Ormond), 7th Earl of Ormond [IRL], was son and heir of Sir James BUTLER, of Callan, by Sabine, daughter and of Donald Reagh MacMorrogh KAVANAGH. He was born circa 1467, and appointed sheriff of Kilkenny 20 March 1488/9 by Henry VII. He was knighted before 7 September 1497, and received a pardon for all crimes committed by him in Ireland 28 Feb. 1497/8. By the 7th Earl he was made Seneschal of the Liberty of Tipperary 21 June, and Deputy for his Irish lands 9 July 1505, for four years. The Earl further granted him in tail male, by indenture 20 July 1505, many of his lands, rents, services and manors in Ireland. On 28 July 1506 the King granted him two parts of the prise of wines in Limerick. On the death of the 7th Earl, 3 August 1515, he succeeded him as 8th EARL OF ORMOND [IRL]. On 6 March 1521/2 the King appointed him, as "Piers Butler, Earl of Ormond," to be Chief Governor of Ireland (as Lord Deputy), during pleasure, which office he held until 13 May 1524, when he was appointed Lord Treasurer. Visiting England in order to press his charges against the Earl of Kildare, numerous lordships in cos. Kilkenny and Tipperary were granted on 5 November 1526 to him, as Peter le Botiller, Earl of Ormond, and to Margaret his wife, to be held in tail male as one knight's fee. As the King now wanted the Earldom of Ormond for Boleyn, he induced Piers and the coheirs of the 7th Earl to resign their respective claims thereto on 18 February 1527/8. On 23 February the King created Piers EARL OF OSSORY [IRL] in tail male, with a grant of £20 per annum out of the issues of the manor of Newcastle, near Lyons, Dublin. On 26 February he received a grant of all the possessions of the Lordship or Earldom of Ossory in Ireland; also of the office of Constable of Dungarvan Castle, co. Waterford. He was again Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1528 (4 August) to some time in 1529. On 4 November 1529 the King, by indenture, committed to him "the order and governance" of cos. Kilkenny, Tipperary, and Ormond. On 23 October 1537 the Irish estates of the 7th Earl's coheirs, forfeited as absentees, were granted to Piers Butler, Earl of Ossory and Ormond, and to his son James Butler, Lord Butler, in tail male; and on 22 February 1537/8 he was restored to the Earldom of Ormond. He married, circa 1485, Margaret, 2nd daughter of Gerald (FITZGERALD), 8th EARL OF KILDARE [IRL], by his 1st wife, Alison, daughter and coheir of Rowland (FITZEUSTACE), BARON PORTLESTER [IRL]. He died 26 August 1539, and was buried in the church of St. Canice, Kilkenny. M.I. His widow, known as "the great Countess," who rebuilt the castle of Gowran and was living at Kilkenny in April 1540, died 9 August 1542, and was buried with her husband. M.I.
