'''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. He served as Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1477 to 1494, and from 1496 onwards.d. The Anglo-Norman Fitzgeralds had risen to become the premier Old English peers in Ireland. 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). Controversial Irish king Diarmuid MacMorrough had given him the town of Wexford, only to have it confiscated again by Henry II of England.

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". Henry immediately appointed him as Lord Deputy of Ireland, saying "All Ireland cannot govern this Earl; then let this Earl govern all Ireland."

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.

Yet Kildare's success also rested on forging cross-border alliances with Gaelic chiefs, often cemented by marriages, to stabilize the lordship's defence. Indeed, from a Gaelic perspective, Kildare's dealings with border chieftaincies differed little from relations between a Gaelic overlord and his uirríghthe (sub-chieftains). The earl's court included a Gaelic entourage, but concurrently he was extracting black rents from chiefs and ejecting clansmen from disputed marchlands.n the battle of Knockdoe (1504), for which Henry made kildare in reward Knight of the Garter. He eventually died of a gunshot wound and his son Lord Gerald succeeded him as earl and governor.
