Research notes
✓ THOMAS fitz MAURICE, of SHANID (d.1213/14), son of MAURICE FITZGERALD THE INVADER (I99837, ALREADY IN THE TREE - F99711); ancestor of the Desmond earls and of the Knights of Glin and Kerry. This rung LOOPS the entire Roche-Desmond gateway onto the existing Geraldine root: Gerald of Windsor and Nest now reach this tree by (at least) a third documented road. Source: CP 'Fermoy' pp.327 + the standard Desmond succession (numbering follows identity; the earls' ordinals vary between authorities because of the 1462 usurpation); contested rungs note-only.
