This is so interesting. (But yes, the volume is low.) I was interested to know more, as my husband and our sons are descended from King Edward Longshanks, moves down to Butlers and Sherman's etc on his mom's side of family. It links to this castle/family. Just needed to see it , if only here on You Tube!
@@jamierosewell3461 It is a msalaler world than we know! Somehow you evidently are related to my husband and we just nevr all meet each pthre in person physicaly but intresting how iin soem way we can be brought together to at least knokw about each other! We end up more alike than we know.
@@carolweaver3269 Yes I did feel like I was coming home when I went to Ireland for the first time. Unfortunately I didn't go to Kilkenny though- but I did go to a few places I later found I had links to such as Dublin Castle where at least one ancestor died
What frustrates me me is that, Lord James E.T Butler, 3rd marquess of Ordmonde had a boy with lady Elizabeth Harriet Grosvenor, marchioness of Ordmonde, had a child who was born out of marriage - James butler, who married a lady previously married to a wealthy landowner, James butler was quite poor, or he pretended to be - he was quite a little documented figure so we shan’t ever know, they had a child, called Mary Butler, who is my grandmother, so the passage of the land and titles was done correctly, it would have meant that it passed onto Mary butler, my grandmother, but unfortunately, Arthur butler, brother of the 3rd marquess of Ordmonde inherited it, and sold the castle to the office of public works’ restoration committee, for the ridiculous price of £50.
William Marshall (Guillaume leMareschal) was indeed Earl of Pembroke, but hardly the 1st one. He became the Earl by marrying the previous Earl's daughter. The original Earls of Pembroke were members of the deClare family.
My great grandmother Elsie Moore (nee Butler)’s father was contacted years ago about claiming inheritance of the castle but due to a lack of knowledge about our family history on our part he was unable to lay claim to the castle before our distant relatives gave it up
Apparently there’s a portrait in the castle’s gallery of an old ancestor that looks exactly like my grandmother, I’ve never been but I’d love to see it one day!
My ancestors burgerlized that castle. I guess that explains my criminal record today. Then again it's hard to not have a criminal record in the states. I know my uncle's did way crazier things then me in Ireland before moving to America and they we just fined and shamed in the local comer newspaper.
At least you didn't blast a hole in the wall like Cromwell did. My mother, who was a Butler and whose family came from Kilkenny was a big fan of JFK. I recently found out that the Kennedys and Butlers were enemies for quite a few years until they signed a peace treaty. That original treaty was given to JFK when he visited Ireland. The treaty didn't last long though, the Kennedys broke it about 10 years after it was signed. LOL.
@@UselessIsUseful It may be common, but anyone from Ireland with the last name of Butler is descended from Theobald Fitzwalter. Butler was a position bestowed on Fitzwalter. It entitled him to collect a percentage of wine carried by ships that docked in Ireland.

William Marshall was an English man..... Born in Berkshire. Was the first Earl of Pembrokeshire Wales.
