FitzGerald Baronets Of Clenlish (1644)
The FitzGerald baronetcy, of Clenlish in County Limerick, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 8 February 1644 for Edmond FitzGerald, a Royalist of the Irish Confederate Wars. The 2nd Baronet was a member of the 1689 Irish Parliament, who was then attainted in 1691, and the baronetcy was then forfeited. Cokayne gives details of the assumption in the 18th century of the title by Richard FitzGerald, on the basis of a certificate obtained from the Ulster King of Arms. There were five putative baronets, including Gerald Richard Dalton-FitzGerald, recognised as the 10th Baronet by Debrett in 1880. On his death in 1894, the male line came to an end.

Baronetage Of Ireland
Baronets are hereditary titles awarded by the Crown. The current baronetage of the United Kingdom has replaced the earlier, existing baronetages of England, Nova Scotia, Ireland and Great Britain. To be recognised as a baronet, it is necessary to prove a claim of succession. When this has been done, the name is entered on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. Persons who have not proven their claims may not be officially styled as baronets. This was ordained by Royal warrant (document), Royal Warrant in February 1910. A baronetcy is considered vacant if the previous holder has died within the previous five years and if no one has proven their succession, and is considered dormant if no one has proven their succession in more than five years after the death of the previous incumbent. All extant baronetcies, including vacant baronetcies, are listed below in order of precedence (i.e. date). All other baronetcies, including those which are extinct, dormant or forfeit, are on a separ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Attainted
In English criminal law, attainder was the metaphorical "stain" or "corruption of blood" which arose from being condemned for a serious capital crime (felony or treason). It entailed losing not only one's life, property and hereditary titles, but typically also the right to pass them on to one's heirs. Anyone condemned of capital crimes could be attainted. Attainder by confession resulted from a guilty plea at the bar before judges or before the coroner in sanctuary. Attainder by verdict resulted from conviction by jury. Attainder by process resulted from a legislative act outlawing a fugitive (a bill of attainder). The last form is obsolete in England (and prohibited in the United States), and the other forms have been abolished. Middle Ages and Renaissance Medieval and Renaissance English monarchs used acts of attainder to deprive nobles of their lands and often their lives. Once attainted, the descendants of the noble could no longer inherit their lands or income. Attain ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
