Notes

James Butler, 2nd Earl of Ormond (4 Oct 1331 - 18 Oct 1382) was a noble in the Peerage of Ireland. He was Lord Justice of Ireland in 1359, 1364, and 1376. He was given in ward 1 Sep 1344, to Maurice FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Desmond, for the fine of 2306 marcs and afterward to Sir John Darcy who married him to his daughter Elizabeth. He was usually called The Noble Earl, being a great-grandson of King Edward I of England. He died 18 October 1382 in his castle of Knocktopher (near which he had, in 1356, founded a Friary for Carmelite friars). He was buried in St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny.
