Maurice Fitzgerald, 14th Knight of Kerry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Maurice Fitzgerald, 14th Knight of Kerry
Fitgerald fought on the Catholic side during the Battle of the Boyne. In 1703, he became the first in his family line to marry a Protestant (Elizabeth Crosbie)(2). This and subsequent marriages in later generations further alienated the Knights from the local Catholic populace.
