Maud DE PRENDERGAST

  General Notes:

Maud de Prendergast was an ancestress of most of the medieval noble families of England; through Elizabeth of York the current British royal family descends from her. Henry VIII's queens consort Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr[4] were four of her many notable descendants.

Maud de Prendergast, Lady of Offaly (17 March 1242 – before 1273),[1] was a Norman-Irish noblewoman, the first wife of Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly, Justiciar of Ireland, and the mother of his two daughters, Juliana FitzGerald and Amabel. Maud was a descendant of Strongbow, the Irish kings of Leinster and Thomond, and Brian Boru. Her own descendants included most of the medieval noble families of England. She married three times; Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly was her third husband.

Maud married Maurice FITZGERALD 3rd Lord of Offaly after May 1258. (Maurice FITZGERALD 3rd Lord of Offaly was born in 1238 and died before 10 Nov 1286 in Ross, County Wexford, Ireland.)
