Fitzgerald
Coat of Arms
The coat of arms of the Dukes of Leinster derives
from the legend that John
FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Kildare, as a baby in Woodstock
Castle, was trapped in a fire when a monkey
rescued him. The FitzGeralds then adopted a monkey as
their crest (and later supporters) and occasionally
use the additional motto Non immemor beneficii
(Not forgetful of a helping hand).
 | Arms: Argent
a saltire
gules.
| Crest: A monkey
statant
proper environed about the middle with a plain
collar and chained or.
| Supporters: Two monkeys, environed and chained
as in the crest.
| Motto: Crom a boo (Now it would be spelt
"Crom Abu". In English, "Up Croom",
or "Croom to victory"; Croom was one of
their castles). |

Ancestors of the FITZMAURICE
Lords of Kerry
| This
chapter in the history of the FITZMAURICE families
begins with legends and gradually acquires substance
as we approach 1100 A.D. Although the story is
fairly well substantiated for 1100 A.D. to about
1220 A.D., I am sensitive to the need for greater
access to primary sources even for that period. |

Sir Joshua Reynolds. James
FitzGerald,
Duke of Leinster. 1753.
Leinster House
The former palace of the Duke of Leinster. Since 1922, it has
been the seat of both houses of the Irish parliament.
The man who built the
Leinster House was James Fitzgerald, the 20th Earl of Kildare. He began
construction in 1745, the year of the civil war in Scotland which
culminated in the defeat of "Bonnie Prince Charlie" at
Culloden. In 1747, James Fitzgerald married Emily Lennox, the daughter
of Charles Lennox, the Duke of Richmond, and a godfather to King George
II. As a result of this favorable marriage, James was made Viscount
Leinster in 1749 by George II and later the Duke of Leinster in 1766 by
George III.
The USA WhiteHouse was
Designed from the Leinster House

The Wedding of
Juan Carlos of
Spain and Sophia of Greece
With the ties of the Fitzgerald's to the
house of Hanover, Sophia is
a descendant of Queen Victoria through both her parents.
King Paul
I of the Hellenes was the youngest son of King Constantine I and
Queen Sophie, born a Princess of Prussia.
Sophie was the third daughter
of
Kaiser Friedrich III and Kaiserin Victoria, who was Queen
Victoria's
eldest child. Sophia's mother, Frederica of Hanover, was the only
daughter of Duke Ernst-August of Brunswick and Princess
Victoria
The House of Hanover (the Hanoverians)
is a Germanic
royal
dynasty
which has ruled the Duchy
of Brunswick-Lüneburg
(German:
Braunschweig-Lüneburg), the
Kingdom
of Hanover and the Kingdom
of Great Britain and the Kingdom
of Ireland. It succeeded the House
of Stuart as monarchs
of Great
Britain and Ireland
in 1714 and held that office until the death of Victoria in 1901. They
are sometimes referred to as the House of Brunswick and Lüneburg,
Hanover line. The House of Hanover is a younger branch of the House
of Welf, which in turn is the senior branch of the House
of Este, with all three being offshoots of the ancient Saxon House
of Wettin.
